WILL DECIDE 0N
: IMMIGRANTS
FATE

| FATE
Confronting a dilemma the settle
ment of which may mark a new policy
for the treatment of immigrants here,
1.-THE territorial board OF Immigration
will meet shortly to decide the fate
of some thirty Spaniards brought here
by the chartered ship Ascot.
! The immigrants are now held at
the immigration station and are either
barred from entry to the country be-
hcause of Iracnoma or some other dis
liability, or are dependents upon
those who are barred.
For some time past the board has
been giving the benefit of the doubt
TO a number of cases and securing
their admittance to the territory, fol-
lowing this by medical treatment.
The physically well dependents were
meanwhile admitted to parole. If the
patients do not yield to treatment,
eventually they must be shipped back
to Europe.
Now the board will be called to
lconsider whether it is advisable to
continue this practice or whether the
ailihg immigrants should be definitely
and Immediately denied entry and
sent back to their former home, to-
| gether with those dependent upon
them. There is some sentiment that
this should be done, for in many cases
the physicians called in will not and
cannot state whether the patients can
be permanently cured.
/, The board meeting will probably
fbe held on Friday.
