WASHINGTON, Dec 5:-In his
message yesterday President Roose-
velt ignored the immigration ques-
ton completely, and the advocates
OF the restriction of immigration

preston that even if the present re-
strictive bill with the educational
test should be passed in the present
session. which is not at all likely, its
