ARGUE OVER MEANING
OF IMMIGRATION BILL
Senator's Who Passed 1t Over
Wilson Veto Say japanese
Are Not Affected

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.--The immgra-
tion bill passed by the Senate yesterday over
the Presidents veto leaves the japanese
question in doubt, Senators who opposed the
bill pointed out today.
Senator Reed. who spoke for the State
Department yesterday. was one of its
strongest opponents.
Proponents of the bill insist that the Jap
anese question is not affected that immi-
grafton from japan would be restricted by
the gentlemen's agreement as heretofore.
The Japanese Government complained to
the State Department that the bill was di-
rectly against It's people in the clause pro-
vding that mo alien now in any way eX-
cluded shall he permitted to immlgrate to
the United States"
Further protests from the Japanese Gov
ernment are to be. expected, opponents Of
the bill hold.
The literary test. to which the President
objected bars all aliens over sixteen years
OF age who cannot read al least thirty words
of language to be selected by the alien.
The following, if sent for by aliens al
ready admitted TO the United States, are
exempt from the literacy test
Father or grandfather over fifty-fve years
OF age; wife, mother. grandmother, unmar-
red or widowed daughter.
Those who because of religious persecu-
tons have been unable to secure the re-
CURED education are also exempt.
Anarchists or persons opposed to organ
lied government and contract laborers are
excluded under the new bill.

At the second caucus of tie Democratic

vote on the Tomphins amendment, six to
four, being: For. Dewitt, Hacl;ett, Sassa-
man, Sones. Tompkns and Warner; against,
Hindman, Ieby. Stewart and Washers.
Asked what he thought of the point Of
order raised by Senator Sproul and sus-
tained by Lieutenant Governor McClain. Il.
Lowry lIumcs, of the Democratic Legisla-
tive Committee. which drafted the washers
amendment. said:
THE ruling on the point or order that
the amendment offered by Senator Washers
violated the constitutional prohibition
against delegation of legislative power
is ridiculous. The power It conferred on
the proposed commission was inquistorlaI'
It could have exercised no legislative rune
tions 1t could merely inquire into and re-
port facts.
"A legislative committee cannot le6islate,
II can only investigate and make recon-
mcndations. Only majority of the Legs
| lature can legislate. \ committee OF the
! Assembly could have no more power Than

ALLIES COUNCIL PLANS
"FOR WAR AND AFTER"
pome Conference Settles Time of
New Drives and Adjustment of
Post t-Bellum Finances
BY c. f. BERTELLI

,,nts Ian. is tby maiD.-Although
A., ,ssued a public statement after their
,,orence I'm Paris last March, the war
>.,.,s NJ the Entente Powers remained
.nIo,elv silent following their Rome con-
,orence the other day. But | have learned
an ,ndisputabie auth5rity that decisions
:, ,rcalcuiable Importance were arrived at
rho nrlncipal subjects discussed were;
rhe Salonica. expedition
,rhe relation between each nations
resources and its effective contribution
90 the war bearing particularly upon
"a, electives, (b) munitions, (c)
finance. -. -, su.,,,-
FOR the coming spring.
while for obvious y-asons | am not per-
~,i,,ed TO give details of the decisions ar
s;yed at. I am able to state that as regards
the Macedonian front the Entente ro"ers
sa,s at last been united by the Srench
,dors and that at the chosen moment the
sTansivc will be delivered from the Ssionica
Sase with an energy and force hitherto con-
snicuousiy lacking.
A. last Premier BRAND, backed by Gen
.roI SarraiL the commander of the Entente
,o,ces in Macedona-who is tremendously
sntbusiastic about the possibilities to be eX-
nncted from his sphere of the hostiitics--
bas brought England and Italy into linc.
Tho Goyernments % both these countries,
.ctinp on the advice of their military
.connselors, have barely disguised their in
diference to the Salonica campaign, hrt
since the Rome conference that feeling has
been replaced BY n united determination To
wage moro vigorous war in Macedonia,
where of course both countries will in
crease their Cffectives.
ECONOMIC PROBLEMS
The arter-war problems which the Rome
.orferees discussed were principally eco
non,ic and social None of the Entente
statesmen have any illusions as to the
question OF monetary compensation for war
expenditure and damage to be obtained
fro,, Germany. 80 one nation could possi-
bly bear the burden of Sl5O,OO0, 100000
which the war will have cost in actual ex-
nenditure, for armies and navies between
August. 1914, and the fall of 1917 to say
nothing of the billions of dollars worth OF
, property destroyed.
The Entente leaders were therefore faced
with the necessity OF establishing a plan
that will not utterly crhsh the present gen
Grafton under an appalling overburden OF
taxation, and at the same time that will
provide enough credit TO enable each nation
10 meet its obligations
The principle has been adopted Of post
poning n final settlement of war debts ia
