Must Send Immigrants Clean, Healthy
If They Are To Send Them At
All, Is U. S. Ruling.
DIsoUIETING NEWS FROM
CALIFORNIA is CAUSE
Hookworm and Other Diseases Are Get
ting Too Much of Foothold
To Suit Government.
BY BURTON X. sTANDIsH
written for the United Press, \

Washington. Nov. 19.--Your Uncle
Samuel, through the office Of Commits
sioner General of Immigration today is
formally serving notice on the nations
of the globe that they must send their
immigrants here clean and healthy as
well as free from diseases, if they are
sent at all. Commissioner General
Caminetti today admitted that "war y
has been declared particularly on the
importation of aliens affected with the
hookworm disease-an insidious NAL
ady resulting from the entrance Of
parasite into the foot, generally
Thoroughly alarmed by reports that
the disease is taking hold in California,
and that vessels have been importing
hordes of immigrants from the disease
zones seventyfive per cent infected,
Commissioner Caminetti has determined
to bar every ailing immigrant under the
statute which forbids entry Of persons
afflicted with contagious or loathsome
diseases. He saw in the alarming
spread Of the hool1worm disease, es-
pecially on the Pacific coast, a blow at
economic progress and racial develop
ment The order to inspectors to pre-
vent entry of any immigrant showing
signs of the hoolworm disease is ex-
pected to result in a decided decrease
in the number of East Indian and Hin
.du immigrants. Such immigrants, when
affected with hookworm, are declared
to be far below the standard Of pros
pective citizens wanted in the United
States. Commissioner Caminetti re.
fused to admit that the order was aimed
chiefly at this class Of immigration, but
it is admitted by immigration officials
that the rate Of hookworm victims
is higher among this class than any
other.
In Moist Warm Climates
Hookworm infection practically belts
the globe in zone between the paral
lels of SO north and 80 south latitude
and flourishes chiefly in moist, warn
climates. From sixty to eighty pei
cent of the vast population of India
have the disease, making these peopl,
disinclined to work. Infection runs
from fifty to ninety per cent in Colon
bia, Egypt, British Guiana, Dutch Gui
ana, Natal, Ceylon that section Of
China included in the disease zone.

had the stun in her to prevent my do

in my new home. But the attempt Of
my employer was a failure, and I found
myself stranded in a foreign country
without means to get home.
I was obliged to go to work with pick

gave up all hope Of possessing Helen,
for to marry a a must have some
means, or at least decent employment.
