ALIEN BILL IS VETOED
WILSON CALLS LITERARY TEST
RADICAL CHANGE IN POLICY.
Second Time Measure Has Been DIsap-
proved by President Who
Regrets Action.

Washington. Jan. 81. - President
Wilson vetoed the immigration Dill
passed recently by congress because
of it's literacy test provision.
It was the second time that Presl-
dent Wilson has vetoed an immigra-
tion bill because of the literacy test,
and for the same reasons similar meas
ures were given yetOes by PRESIDENTS
Taft and Cleveland.
The presidents veto message TO the
house in which the bill originated.
follows:
II very much regret to return llliS
bill without my signature.
"In most Of the provisions OF the
bill l should be very glad to concur
but l cannot rid myself of the con-
viction that the literacy test consul
tute radical change in the policy
of the nation which is not justlhed III
principle.
ut is not test of character, OF
quality or of personal fitness, but
would operate in most cases merely
as a penalty for lack of opportunity
in the country whence the alien seek
ing admission come. The opportunity
TO gain an education is in many cases
one of the chief opportunities sought
bv the immigrants in coming to the
United States, and our experience in
the past has not been that the llllt-
crate immigrant is as such an ande-
sirable immigrant. Tests of quality
and of purpose cannot be objected to
on principle, but tests OF opportunity
surely may be.
Moreover, even if this test might
he euuitably insisted on, one OF the
exceptions proposed to its application
involves a provision which might lead
to very delicate and hazardous dlplo-
matte situations.
1.-THE bill eXempts from the opera
ton of the literacy test all aliens VINO
shall prove to the satisfaction OF the
proper immigration officer or to the
secretary of labor that they are
seeking admission to the Unlted
states TO avoid religious persecution
in the country of their last perma-
nent residence, whether such persecu-
tion be evidenced by overt acts or
by laws or governmental regulations
that discriminate against the alien or
the race to which he belongs because
of his religious faith
"Such a provision, so applied and ad-
ministered, would oblige the Offlcer
concerned in effect to pass judgment
unon the laws and practices of a for
eign government and declare that
tbev did or did not constitute re-
ligious persecution.
81 dare say that these consequences
were not in the minds of the pro-
moments of this provision, but the
provision separately and in itself rem
ders it unwise for me to give my as
sent 70 this legislation in its present
