MIGRANTS.

New York. June Whether if
England and the continental powers
combine To deprive anarchists OF any
asylum abroad, they might find one
in this country was answered with
an emphatic no yesterday Accord
ing to Assistant Commissioners of
Immigration Joseph Murray. the
present laws. IL enforced are entirely
adequate To keep anarchists out OF
this country. II Is asserted. more
over. that closer watch can be kept
on anarchists already here than Is
the general impression in Europe.
ANY such Immigration of anarch-
lists could be checked the minute we
learned of it," said Assistant Com
missioner Murray. II can't say any
thing for or against our government
uniting with foreign governments in
a repressive policy against anarchists
But the present laws are certainly
effective enough 20 compel the de-
portation OF anarchists whenever
they land in this country.
The immigration laws provide
that any anarchists can be deported
solely because he is an anarchist.
The effectiveness OF this law has
been affirmed In the highest court of
the land A."
