TAKE STEPS TO

ALIENS IN j. s.
az WEBB MILLER

United Press staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON. July %
The United States today Is ne.
ootiatlno with the allies to
ieualixe drafting many hum
dreds OF thousands 81 aliens
In this country to fight under
the American flag. Before the
time for second levy the
necessary abroaatlons OF trea-
ties and action BY congress will
BRING aliens under the draft
law.
In every section OF the nation an
cutlery against the obvious injus-
tice" OF the present law as applied
10 non-citirens Is rising. Already
Il has reached congress and forced
action.
May Be Deported

draft aliens. In today before q sub
committee of the senate foreign
relations committee. Under this
resolution aliens may he drawn
into the army or deported upon re-
fusal to serve.
The war department has ap-
proyed the resolution. but the state
department has pointed out diplo.
matte distractions in specific trea-
ties with half.doZen countries pre-
venting drafting their citizens into
the u. s. military service.
Involves Many italians
At the Italian embassy today II
was stated diplomatic negotiations
are under way 10 bring 100000
Italians OF military age in the U. s.
under the provisions of the draft.
At present neither the Italian nor
American governments can lay
hands upon them. Each OF the al
lied countries Is expected TO ac-
uuiesce in the speedy notification
of any old obstructing treaties and
agreements.
Congress May Act
But whether they do or not, of.
ficials declare that congress may
act--that laws supercede the trea.
ties. Nations at war with Germany
are hardly expected to object to
conscription of their subjects here.
The mail of the war department
Is flooded with bitter protests from
cities with large allen population.
They claim that nearly every Amer
lean will be taken in the first levy
from certain districts with heavy
alien population. In Chicago one
fourth of the entire registration is
exempt as aliens. In one district
of 2,b32 registration, LAPS are ex.
empt as aliens.
