WILSON SILENT ON
THE LITERARY TEST
[By Lcased WIG 70 E,enIng IIeraIa. /

Washington, Feb 2.-Whilo Presi-
dent Wilson regards ID as universally
agreed that there should bc some re-
strictions tu prevent what is known
as assisted immigration. he has not
yet announced his position on the
literacy test feature of pending inn
migration bills and 10 is understood
today that ne would not do so until
consulted by leaders jn congress. The
senate committee on immigration has
announced that Il will seek the prcsi-
dents advice in the matter.
The Rev. sidney l.. Gulick. lecturer
at the Imperial university of Japan,
discussed immigration today with the
president.
Under arrungcmcnts made by the

tion policy lie suggested to the presi-
dent his plans Go treat all nations on
basis Of equality, "renouncins all
insidious legislation and differcntial
treatment" by allowing only maxi
mum annual immigration of national
tiles by fixed percentages of those al
ready hero ana naturalized.
His suggestion is that by rate Of
Eve per cent and under i05. 900 Ger
mans could bf admitted. although
only 27,7SS came In 1912: 3G2, 500
English, whereas only s2,379 came in

duced from 157,t3i. who came in
i912, TO possible maximum of 5i,-
$50. The same rate would admit only
220 Japanese and 1Js Chinese immi-
grants
The Rev. MIR. GuIick believes that
