SEEKING A WAY OUT
President Coolidge, co-operating
with Secretary Hughes, is striving to
find a way out of the situation involv
ing what Japan considers an affront
through the passing by congress of
an exclusion act which would place
Japanese immigration on the same
plane as immigration from other na
tions.
It is well known that Mr. Hugttos
was not in sympathy with the action
of congress in passing the Johnson
immigration bill which has been sent
to the president by overwhelming
vote of the legislative body. Yet Mr.
Hughes realizes that the authority
of congress in immigration matters—
assuming that it possesses the re
quisite power to override a presiden
tial veto—is final; also that the right
of the nation, through its constitution
al authority, over immigration, is sov
ereign. His plea is not that con
gress has exceeded its authority, but
that in the interests of good relations
betwen the United States and Japan,
the “gentlemen’s agreement” should
be continued in force.
Just what compromise suggestion
the president and the state department
will offer has not been disclosed,but
it has been intimated that the propo
sal is to postpone the effective date
of the exclusion clause, assurance be
ing given that the ends sought by
congress in the immigration act would
be obtained through channels of di
plomacy'.
In other words, the president would
retain something comparable to the
“gentlemen’s agreement,” which was
negotiated by President Roosevelt sev
r
eral years ago after the first anti-Jap
anese flare-up in California. There
has been some dispute as to the pre
cise effect of the gentlemen’s agree
ment, whereby Japan voluntarily
agrees to see that Japanese immigra
tion of laborers is prevented. The
Tokio government asserts that ar
rangement has worked out with a
greater degree of success, from the
legislative ban would have been. On
the other hand, opponents of Oriental
immigration in this country assert
that the agreement has been violated
flagrantly and repeatedly. As be
tween these views, one finds difficul
ty in reaching a conclusive opinion,
particularly in view of the approval
by the state department of the exist
ing arrangement.
Oriental exclusion is one of the de
mands of the West, if not of the East,
and the recent flurry over Japanese
immigration would have been less sen
sational had Japan not given the im
pression that it was trying to dictate
to congress by adopting what was
construed as a threatening note. The
Tokio government has wisely disavow7
ed the interpretation placed on the
note, thus opening the w7ay for con
tinued negotiation with a view of har
monizing the situation.
The people of this desire to remain
on friendly terms with Japan. They
, wall make concessions in the interest
of harmcny. And yet they demand
the adoption of a policy opposed to an
influx of unassimilable races. If
the president can compose the situa
tion m a way satisfactory to all con
cenred he will have proved himself
a diplomat of high order.

THE GOOD OF A BANK
COMMUNITY
TO A
(Second Prize, High School Contest)
By Marit Eide
Have you ever w’ondered as to the
good of a bank to a community? If
not I will try to enumerate several of
the many uses of one of the most help
ful concerns in a city.
The bank’s greatest asset to a com
munity is its power to circulate money
throughout a city or country. People
who have money and salt it away in
a can are neither getting a profit from
it themselves nor helping the commun
ity in which they live. If it were put
in a bank the depositor would get so
much interest, and the assurance that j
it would be safe. But, if no money is j
in the bank, and the persons who have |

it refuse to lend, it would probably
Jeprive their town of another business
>r residence house which might mean
i loss of several hundred dollars to
:hat community.
A bank is the safest place in which
to deposit either jewels or money,
rhey are placed in a strong box and
then in the vault. In case of a fire or
burglar what protection would you
have for your valuables. None, be
cause your house it not equipped with
the safe guards against such catastro
phes.
Men who are traveling through
countries are benefitted by having
;heir money transferred from one coun
try to another. Instead of candying the
necessary large quantity of money
needed, they can purchase American
Banking Association cheques.
If it were not for a bank, old pieces
3f paper money would have to be dis
carded, but as it is now you can send !
the pieces to Federal Reserve Banks
through the bank and they will send,
in place of it, a brand new bill.
All the city funds, funds of the
school board and other public institu
tions deposit their money in the bank
for safe keeping, instead of letting the
person in charge of the fund carry it
around, or put it away in some drawer.
Thus it is easily seen that a bank
is one of the greatest assets to a com
munity.
