Chinese Exclusion Regulations Relaxed After Commission Report
A government commission chaired by Assistant Secretary Laur and Edward Sims proposed sweeping changes to Chinese exclusion laws. Key aims include discontinuing the Bertillion identification system, requiring officers to notify and allow appeal to denied applicants in Chinese, extending appeal timelines, easing departure and reentry for merchants and laborers, and clarifying conditions for admission and nonadmission. The amendments target smoother transits for Chinese merchants and workers while preserving core prohibitions.
