Washington, Jan. T--In response to
the sulzer resolution passed by the
house, Secy. Metcalf OF the department
Of commerce and labor today sent to
the house the report OF Special lmml-
grafton Inspector Marcus Braun, which
deals at great length with the eharac-
ter OF the immigrants coming TO this
country and the attitude OF the Euro
pean governments upon the matter Mr.
Braun declares that he has incOntro-
yertible evidence that while the num-
Der of aliens shipped to this country

He declares that while these govern

to restrict immigration, instead OF do

keeping alive the patriotic spirit OF
the fatherland IN the minds OF these
colonists,' by representing that unless

Mr. Braun then takes up immigration
from Turkey, Asia Minor and syria.
Speaking OF the Armenlans, he says
that they have invented system
whereby they can stay IN Turkey and
Mt the same time defy Turkish laws.
This system consists OF a large num-
bcr OF Armenlans emlgrating 20 the
United States, and as soon es they
have earned sufficient money for their
need they return supplied with Ameri-
can citizenship papers and are contln-
ually conspiring against the Turkish
government under the protection of
American citizenship.
The same Is true in Syria and Pal

from the governor OF Mount Lebanon.
