<P> On February 15, 1907, the parties came to a compromise . If President Roosevelt could ensure the suspension of Japanese immigration then the School Board would allow Japanese American students to attend public schools . The Japanese government did not want to harm their national pride or suffer humiliation like the Qing government in 1882 from the Chinese Exclusion Act . The Japanese government agreed to stop granting passports to laborers trying to enter the United States unless such laborers were coming to occupy a formerly - acquired home, to join a parent, spouse, or child, or to assume active control of a previously acquired farming enterprise . </P> <P> Concessions were agreed in a note, consisting of six points, a year later . The agreement was followed by the admission of students of Japanese ancestry into public schools . </P> <P> The adoption of the 1907 Agreement spurred the arrival of "picture brides"--marriages of convenience made at a distance through photographs . By establishing marital bonds at a distance, women seeking to emigrate to the United States were able to gain a passport, while Japanese workers in America were able to gain a helpmate of their own nationality . Because of this loophole, which helped close the gender gap within the community from a ratio of 7 men to every woman in 1910 to less than 2 to 1 by 1920, the Japanese American population continued to grow despite the Agreement's limits on immigration . </P> <P> The Gentlemen's Agreement was never written into a law passed by Congress, but was an informal agreement between the United States and Japan, enacted via unilateral action by President Roosevelt . It was nullified by the Immigration Act of 1924, which legally banned all Asians from migrating to the United States . </P>
