Sherrill Urges Ladies' Agreement to Japanese Emigration
General Charles H. H. Sherrill of New York at a Tokyo dinner argues to supplement the gentlemen's agreement with a ladies' agreement to curb picture brides and preserve U S Japan relations. He cites economic friction from cheaper Japanese labor, says democracy is wise but Japan's imperial system also guides policy, and warns about the changing balance in California Hawaii and labor markets. He notes California Chinamen once faced racial hostility before immigration controls reduced friction and stresses the need to balance civilizations through cooperation.
