The note then analyzes the exclu sion provision applicable to all aliens ineligible for citizenship as it is modi fled by the exceptions contained in the act and points out: "It will be observed that, taking these exceptions into account, the provision in question does not differ greatly in. its practical operation, or in the policy which it reflects, from the understanding embodied in the gentlemen's agreement under which the Japanese government has co-oper ated with the government of the Unit ed States in preventing the emigra tion of Japanese laborers to this coun try." ; Bsys Means Got Money Falsely.
