Washington. Jan. E23.-White House
officials declared today that President
Wilson had taken no attitude what
ever on legislation to regulate stock
exchanges.
His declaration to callers that he
had omitted the subject from his mes
sages because it was not included in
the democratic platform, they said was
in no way to be interpreted as ap-
proval or disapprovaI Of any proposed
action by congress.
The president, it was said, desired
to make 1t clear that by his remarks
on the scope Of his recommends lions
to congress he was in no way pass -ng
upon the merits Of any subject which
may originate in congress without his
recommendation.
White House officials also declared
President Wilson neither mad approved
nor disapproved the pending bills on
trust legislation. 1t was said the bills
introduced were not to be regarded as
the last word by the administration
nor as the explicit desires Of the presi-
dent. It was pointed out that the
measures were launched merely as a
frame work upon which the final leg
islation would be built.

washington, Jan. 23 After a, con
ference to-day with Commissioner

of the department Of labor advised
Speaker Clark that the problem OF
Asiatic immigration could be solved by
congress raising the standard Of ad-
mission so as to include in the list
Of excluded aliens those persons not

reau are expected in a letter to Speak

says the mekhc I suggested would not

liar clauses col. .kained in existing trea-
ties. Subjects and citizens OF all coun-

ed as to physical requirements in ex-
actly the same manner.
Secretary Wilson says that a con-
certed movemezx exists in india and
elsewhere to gain admission to the
United States and that if the Hindu
movement IS not checked not only

Beside the Raker bill, Secretary
Wilson referred to bills by Representa-
tives Church OF California and Hum
phrey OF Washington and contended
that the constitutional right of con-
gress TO pass such laws, even when
the provisions affect subjects of na-
tions, with which the United States
has treaties conferring the most fav-
ored nation clause, has OF course been
settled beyond the peradventure Of
doubt and he cited certain decisions
