Washington, April IS.—Tta fighting spirit aroused, congress prepared to day to call Japan's hand by passing the exclusion set which erecta an im penetrable legal barrier to the future entrance of Japanese immigrants into the United States and possessions. The temper of the a*nate became eo plain today that the recall of Maas no lianihara, the Japanese ambassador, looma as a possible sequel to the pas sage of the exclusion legislation. The house already has acted by a vote of more than 4 to 1, In favor of excluding Japanese by statute. Senate Action Near. The senate, angry and determined, will endorse the houae'e action by an even larger vote, It appeared today. Even administration leaders, such aa Senator Lodge of Massachusetts; Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania and others, declared that Hanlhara's biut threat of "grave consequences" In Japanese American relation* was a "challenge to the sovereignty of the United States than can not be Ig nored." In view of the alxe of the rote by which the senate Is expected to pass the exclusion fseture. It seemed doubtful today whether President Coolldge will be constrained to veto the measure.
