WASHINGTON, June 18.—The
-American reply to the Japanese pro
( t against the exclusion provision
v ;.f the American act was made public
fjßnigiit by the State Department
wmultanco-utf y with its publication
t'Jarough the foreign office at Tokio.
iit is cordial and friendly in tone but
at the same times makes it clear that
tshe exclusion provision in no way
upon any written or im
plied obligation on the part of the
finited States.
Secretary Hughes points out that
♦Congress was wholly within its right'
-in the enactment of the provision and j
rbat the action taken “is mandatory |
<apon the executive branch of the,
•Government and allows no latitude,
for the exercise of executive discre-1
tSon as to the carrying out of the ex
»cutive will expressed in the statute.”
The construction generally placed
apon the American note is that it
«ri>nclus»vely demonstrates the view
»f the Washington government that
the exclusion-law i s a closed inci
dent and that no attempt to modify
» w alter its terms is to be expected.
