nr Assoc1ArEp PRESS.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Unexpected
opposition to the immigration bill,
blocking the progress of the measure
and leading to general debate on the
question of the exclusion of aliens on
account of race, developed today.
In giving notice that he would re-
serve the right to demand separate
vote on the proposed senate commit
tee amendment, Senator Works of
California declared that this amend
ment would leave the United States
at the mercy of the Japanese govern
ment as to immigration from that
country.
The committees proposal provides
for the exclusion of Hindus and other
Asiatics by prescribing geographical
areas from which immigrants shall
not be admitted.
It was recommended by the state
department after inquiries had been
made to the Japanese government re-
speeding the provisions of the bill as
it passed the house. It eliminates all

immigration.

Answering Senator Gallinger as to
whether Jews might not be excluded
as well as negroes, Senator Reed said
Jews have been civilized for thou
sands of years. It was learned at the
White House that President Wilson
would veto the measure if the illit-
eracy test is included.

Of TRADE WAR
Senator Fletcher and Others
At Commercial Congress
Urge Preparation.
RY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Norfolk, Dec. 11.-Problems which
the United States must face after the
war dominated the discussion atsshe
opening session Of the Southern Com
mercial Congress today.
John Shelton Williams, comptroller
of the currency, said the United
States must be prepared to defend
itself and lend the great wealth
which it has piled up at the wars ex-
pense to rehabilitate Europe.
Senator Fletcher of Florida said
measures already passed by congress
and those pending including the ship
ping bill and the Webb bill to permit
combinations of exporters would pre-
pare the United States for a trade
war.
Senator Fletcher told the congress
that the federal farm loan act and the
laws to prevent rate discrimination,
blacklisting and the dumping of
cheap foreign products in this coun-
try would aid planters and manufac-
turers during the period of recon-
struction. He also asserted that the
shipping and Webb bills before con-
gress would be important factors, the
one providing ships to carry com
merce and the other permitting
American exporters to combine to Sc
cure trade.
The senator urged that the country
Immediately turn its attention to es-
tablishing fuller business relations
with the neutral countries and de-
clared that the nations greatest OBJ
portunity now was in the Latin Amer
lean countries and China.
DR.. E. A. Alderman, of the Univer-
sity. of Virginia, speaking at the
opening sessions, declared that one OF
the results of the European war upon
education would be to produce schools
of higher learning which will react
commerce and industry into profess
sions and enable them to take thei,
/ places for members of public service
The South, ne said, had given to the
nation great soldiers, patriots. states.
men, jurists and lawyers and now
the hour had struck for it to furnish
business men for public service.

made to their knowledge and no APP
preparation for military training

mite plans are not likely to be formu-
lated until funds are available.
The final decision, however, viii

A movement is on foot to bring the
big military camp to Pensacola and it
is possible that this place viii be con-

plan to bring the cSanp here is
backed by the possibilities of securing

SMALL FLEET
Buildings To Be Erected On
Grassy Cove Will Have
Large Capacity.

A new industry will be opened in
Pensacola in January when the South
ern Fertilizer and Oil Company, COM
posed of New York and Chicago cap
italists, opens factory on recently
purchased tract on Grassy cove,
across Pensacola bay on the mainland.
Announcement was made yesterday
and the board of directors of the
Chamber of Commerce, in session yes
terday, was told of the new industry.
The tract was purchased through
the company's fiscal agent and the
deal closed by Secretary James F.
Phillips, of the Chamber of Com
merce.
AS soon as the plant is opened the
company will commence the reduc-
ton of menhaden, known locally as
alewives, into dried fish scrap and fish
oil. These fish are found in enor-
nous quantities in the gulf, but can
not be caught except at certain sea
sons of the year. For this reason it
is not expected that the plant will
operate the entire year, though it is
possible that it will be devoted to
other uses during the off season.
Dried fish scrap is an important
ingredient of fertilizer and very mucn
in demand. The fish oil is used for
tempering steel, tanning leather
making paint and for various other
purposes.
The plant is stated to employ dur
ing the season about 80 men, all of
whom will be experts and draw lib
eral wages. Attached to the COM
pany will be a fleet of about four
steam trawlers, employing nearly 120
men. A representative of the COM
pany is expected to arrive in PISA
cola at an early date, to make prelim-
mary arrangements for the business
