VIOLATES TRADITIONS
Radical Departure From Long

Washington, Jan. 29.-President
Wilson vetoed the immigration bill

other restrictive tests which IL pro
poses as a condition OF admission OF
immigrants to the United States The
message says:
In two particulars of vital conse-
quences this bill embodies a radical
departure from the traditional and
long established policy of this coun
try, a policy in which our people have
conceived the very character OF their
government to be expressed, the very
mission and spirit OF the nation in re.
spect of it's relations to the peoples
of the world outside their borders.

natural and inalienable rights of men;
and 1t excludes those to whom the
opportunities of elementary education
have been denied without regard to
their character, their purposes or
their natural capacity
Another Vote Next Week.
The reading of the veto message
evoked applause on the Democratic
side and from some Republicans.
An agreement was reached and the
veto message was referred to the I'M

Chairman Burnett said he will ask to
have a report to the house one week
from now.
The veto will not come before the
