EXCLUSION POLICY IS FINAL, HUGHES ' TELLS JAPANESE I Secretary of State Replies to Pr6test —Seays Law Will Not Stand, By United sPress WASHINGTON, June 19.—The American Government has decided that the law' excluding Japanese immigrants from the LTnited States, beginning July 1. is final, and no attempt will be made by the executive branch of the Government to supercede it. This is the ‘ keynote” of the re ply of Secretary of State Hughes to the recent Japanese protest against the ex 'lusion law. The United States believes that to hol,d out hope of mitigating the exclusion law would only keep alive this satisfaction and antagonism between the two countries. It takes the attitude that all exchanges between the United States and aJpan over the immigration controversy have been conducted in a spirit of friendship and understanding. Hughes in his reply to Ambassador Hanihara said: “I take pleasure in noting your reference to the friendliness and candor in which your communication has been made and you may he assured of the readiness of this Government to consider in the same spirit the views you have set forth.” Hughes made it plain this Government desires to dispel all suppositions that in enacting the exclusion law the United State* has violated the commercial treaty with aJpan, the expiring gentlemen's agreement or the principles of international comity. * This Government holds the exclusion is no violation of the gentleman's agreement as that pact is an undertaking entered into voluntarily by Japan which is to continue so long as conditions warranted, With the new immigration lawvfiowever. conditions have changed and the agreement is no longer necessary. Hughes released Japan from all further obligation unde* the gentlemen's agreement after July 1.

The chair refuses to recognize Republicans. A fist fight, rioting on a small scale and humorous scenes, such as when the speaker, Lieut. Gov.
