Much Would Be Available for

Seven Hawaiian sugar plantations

In these calculations, only earnings

DRASTIC Immigration Bills
EXPECTED TOPASs THIS SESSION

the bill was again passed by both
houses and sent to the president. He
vetoed It, and again the house failed
by q narrow vote to override. It was
believed that If the house had voted
to override the senate would have fol.
lowed suit
Chairman Burnett S.H ask special
rule to make the immigration bill
privileged. He believes there should
be no delay in putting through q
measure for restricted immigration.
The end of the European war. Mr.. Bur
nett says, will be attended by an exc
dus from the debt,burdene countries
of Europe.
Opponents Of the legislation. how
ever, claim there is no danger of an
invasion by European immigrants.
They say the depopulated European
countries VIII need every one to re-
habilitate their home industries, and
that immigration win be naturally HIM
tied after the war.
Passage of the Burnett bill Is always
attended by a bitter debate on the
floor, and it is probable that two days
will be given to debate ON the mea-
sure. ~ 81
