Race Issue Serious On West Coast Termination of Treaty of 1911 With Japan One of Big Questions for Nw Ad- ministration. v: ' Excli ,XT ' 111 ' 1 usion iNow illegal By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING. Cblcar Tribune-Omaha Be Leased Wire. Washington, Sept. ' 19. Termina tion of the treaty of 1911 with Jaoan. legalizing Japanese immigration into tne United Mates and the leasing of land by Japanese, is a question that is destined to be pressed upon the next administration, as a result of the race issue developing serious proportions on the Pacific coast. ' -So long as this treaty remains in effect, the exclusion of Japanese will be illegal and the United States will be compelled to continue to rely for protection from the "yellow peril" On the "gentlemen's agreement" which the Californians charge, is be. ing evaded by Ihe Japanese. Article l of the treaty provides that of the high contracting parties 6hall have liberty to enter, travel or re side in the territories of the other, to carry on trade, wholesale and retail, to wn or lease and occupy houses, manufactories, warehouses "and shops.to employ agents of their choice, to lease land for residential and commercial purposes and gen erally to do anything incident to or necessary for trade, upon the same terms as native citizens or subjects, submitting themselves to the laws and regulations there established." Plan New Legislation. The right to own land for any pur pose and to lease land for agricul tural purposes was omitted from the treaty and the California law pro hibiting the. ownership and restrict ing the leasing of. land by aliens not eligible to citizenship, as are the Japanese, is not in contravention thereof. The evasion of this law through corporations and trustees for American-born Japanese chil dren, who are American citizens, the Californians plan to stop through additional legislation to be submitted to a referendum at the November election. Governor Stephens asserts that this proposed legislation does not conflict with the treaty. ' There kis a growing conviction, however, not confined to the Pacific coast that sooner or later the "un fessitnilable race" question must bo dealt with fundamentally by termi nating the "gentlemen's agreement' and excluding by statute aliens not eligible to citizenshin as well as with holding citizenship from American fcprn jchildrea of such aliens Termi- tiatiwu of the treaty vcoufd"be necesr sary to effect the first, a constitu tional amendment the second cf these ends. '..TJie treaty provides that it shall remain in effect until 1923,. unless terminated theretofor on six months' notice by either partyj and will con tinue in force thereafter until termi nated inlike manner. The pronouncement of the candi dates for president oh, the Japanese question follow: Harding, . "With a new realisation of the ne cessity of developing a soul distinct ly American in this republic, we fa vor such modifications of our immi gration Jaws and such changes in our international understandings, and fuch a policy relating to those who come among us, as will guarantee to the citizens of this republic not only assimilability of alien born, but the adopt'i by all who come of American standards, economic and otherwise, and a full consecration to American practices and ideals." ' ' Cox. . "God Almighty provided that the fathers of America should be white men. They builded the ideals on which the republic will live. Those ideals should be maintained. Those .rom other shores who are not dis posed to subscribe to that doctrine have the privilege of , going back where they came from," . In these statements Senator Hard ing is more specific and definite than is Governor Cox. The republican candidate utters a declaration that can only be interpreted as advocacy of the termination of the treaty with Japan and the exclusion of1 the Jap anese by statute. If Governor Cox has any definite idea of the policy he would pursue, if elected, in deal ing with She question, he carefully avoided stating it. The republican platform declares that "the existing policy of the United States for the practical exclu sion of Asiatic immigrants is sound, and should be maintained. The democratic platform says that the policy of the United States,-with ref erence to the non-admission of Asi atic immigrants, is a true expression of the judgment of our people, and to the several states whose geo graphical situation or internal con ditions make this policy and the en forcement iof the laws enacted pur suant thereto of particular concern, we pledge our support."
