Debate Over Segregation Bill Highlights Assembly Session
Johnson altered his vote from aye to no and urged reconsideration to tomorrow. The main debate centered on the residential segregation bill with many anti-law and corporate supporters backing segregation of undesirable aliens, arguing it echoed anti Japanese measures. Beardsiea Transue Hanson Reich and Cattell spoke against it calling it unconstitutional and harmful to federal Japan negotiations. Drew’s land bill was reconsidered, but the motion failed 36 to 38, signaling a gain for bill supporters. In Tokyo, officials voiced confidence in American fairness despite U.S. domestic discord, warning against ignorant press and urging restraint. A Nevada resolution opposing Japanese policy was referred to the Judiciary committee, likely to die there.
