WILL VETO BILL
ON IMMIGRATION
STRONG INDICATIONS TO THIS
EFFECT CONE FROM THE
WHITE HOUSE.
Senate Believes II Can Pass over
Veto and That Same Action
VIII Occur In House.

WASHINGTON. Jan. i.-when con-
gress meets tomorrow after the New
Years day holiday the paramount sub
1ect OF legislation will be the immi-
grafton bill. pending in the senate. Il
Is the purpose OF senate leaders to
bring the measure to vote on its
passage before adjournment. That II
will be passed, including the lteracy
ltest, Is assured although the test pro-
vision is still open to amendment.
Strong indications came from the
White House today that President
Wilson would veto the measure IL con-
gress submitted Il TO him in present
form. President Taft vetoed a similar
measure in 1913 because of the liter
lacy test. The senale passed the bill
over the veto but in the house the mo-
ton to re-pass the measure failed by
a few votes to get the necessary two
thirds majority.
Whether the President Is 10 veto
the measure seems TO make little diff
ference now to its champions, and
bill can be passed this time in both
houses over an executive disapproval.
The vote of a. to IL in the senate
yesterday against eliminating the 1T
eracy test was accepted as a test vote.
House leaders do not anticipate much
trouble in the conference on Senate
amendments thus far adopted includ-
ing the Reed amendment accepted yes
! iterday TO exclude persons OF African
blood or of the Negro race.
In the house tomorrow discussion
Will be resumed on the Indian appro-
priation bill. Conferees on the Sea
mans bill will be appointed by both
houses.
Before the senate Philippine com
mittee former President Taft Is sched-
uled to appear to discuss the bill for
enlarging the measure OF Philippine
self government.

BRITISH ATTITUDE TOWARD THE
AMERICAN PROTEST Is FRIENDLY
AMBASSADOR PAGE SENDS LONG
REPORT FROM LONDON.
Tells Of Press Criticism and Public
Oplnion-BelieVes Matter Will
Be Adjusted.

WASHINGTON, ID. C., Jan. L.
Ambassador Walter Hines Page. in a
long report from London, received to-
day. following his conferences with
high officials there. described the gen
eral attitude of the British govern
ment and the people toward the Amer
lean note OF protest concerning ship
ping as entirely friendly. lie said a
reply had been promised within n very
few days.
The ambassador detailed the Brit.
Ssh press criticism, whose tone he re-
'garded as. on the whole. reasonable
and amicable. In some quarters, not
among officials. he found a disposition
to search for a motive behind the
American note, some EnElishmen sug-
gesting that the Washington admins
tratton had been compelled to yield
TO pressure from members OF Congress
representing constituencies vitality af-
fected by the Interruptions in trade
This portion OF English public opinion
seemed to think the American note
was intended to some extent for home
consumption.
High oficlals OF the Washington
government pointed out tonight that
there was not the slightest foundation
for such a suggestion, as the note was
not originally intended for the press
u Is understood that Ambassador
Page had anticipated such mistaken
government informally that the United
States was thoroughly i'm earnest The
note was phrased In a candid and
frank manner. he r. understood to
have explained. particularly because

AT LENGTH AMERICAN
NOTE.
Does Not Suggest That U. 8. Co To

cation to Prevent Crime.

LONDON, Jan. !, 5:45 D. m.-The
Spectator discusses today at length
the American note to British govern
ment on the question OF unwarranted
interference with American shipping.
IL recognizes that interests of neutrais
diner from those OF Deiligerents In all
wars and says IL would be extremely
unfair TO object to frank statements
by neutral countries OF their views.
Observing that IL Is much easier in
some ways to be a belliEerent than a
neutral, the Spectator points out that
IN some future war England may be a
neutral. In which event she would be
DESTROYS OF upholding the rights OF
neutrals as America is now.
Declaring that AT the time of the
last conference at fhe Hague IL was
generally assumed that England was
more hkely TO be neutral than a
belhgerent In future wars. tho Spec
tator continues:
Though we have every desire to be
Just to Americans, we must also I've
just to ourselves. We are engaged
IN perhaps the greatest war the world
mas ever known. II is involving us in
terrific toll OF life and money. and
we are justified in using all recognized
methOds OF warfare TO abridge this
toll and bring the war to an end"
Inc spectator adds that the difncuI-
TIES under which American trade is
laboring are not due primarily 10 in
ttrIertnce with shipping by British
Warships' but rather TO the general
1lsturbance of trade Occasioned by
