rtlE. IMMIGRATION emo VETO.

President Wilson was constrained
by clear conviction" to veto the bill
for. the restriction of immigration. AS
TO his sincerity of motive there need
be no question, but the reasons he
presents for his action, for the most
part the arguments that already have
been advanced in congressional de-
bate but clothed in different language,
will scarcely appeal to those whose
votes carried the measure nor to the
vast body of his fellow:citizens who
regard the literacy test as a necessary,
lif humanity imperfect, device for par
tally damming the stream of new.
Corners from foreign shores. His veto
lis all the more deplorable because Of
his admission that the bill is highly
desirable in other respects, his sole
objection being to the requirement Of
the reading test from aliens above
the age OF 16. The president con.
jcedes that the enactment OF the meas.
ure into law would improve present
methods Of handling our immigration
business. .,, =

which has made this the land OF op.

boast has been his disregard OF prece.

lated indicates that at a. period when
an infant country was sadly In need

argument, that the literacy test will
impose hardship in some individual
cases, need not be disputed. The
question Is whether Inconvenience
land disappointments to certain aliens
will outweigh the greater good to our
own people in the preservation OF a
certain standard Of citizenship.
i The President objects that the sen.
Itiment of the country at large has
not been recorded on this subject and
that 1t has commissioned no political
party with its mandate. Neither has
lit expressed itself in favor of the ship
purchase bill, and indeed its attitude
toward that measure is one Of decid.
led opposition. 1t remains to be seen
whether the immigration bill can be
passed over the presidential veto. It
lis not true that tho bill CLOSES the
4door of liberty" to the people OF
lother lands. 1t merely narrows the
entrance to degree that seems emf.
