President Coolidge signed the Foreign Service Act of 1924, creating the Foreign Serve and the Immigration Act of 1924, the National Origins Act.
The act reflected immigration by national origins, banned all immigration from Asia and set a total immigration quota of 165,000 for countries outside the Western Hemisphere. It also authorized the creation of The Border Patrol.
And on this day, those agencies came into being.
Japan issued a formal protest over the Immigration Act of 1924.
President Coolidge issued a proclamation:
New York National Guardsman, Pvt. George Herman Ruth was photographed saluting Gen. Pershing.
Coolidge was photographed with cadet officers.
