AMERICANS TO
AID RUSSIANS
AGAINST ENEMY
Statement made by Party on
Short Visit to Toxic
Received by Royalty.

Toxic. June 29.-(Correspondence)
When the American commission of
railroad and technical experts, bound
for Russia to aid that country in the
solution of problems. Of communica-
ton, arrived in Japan from the Unit
ed States 1t was met at Yokohama by
DR.. Post Wheeler, the American
charge ~d'affaires, u. r. Geary, presi-
dent Of the American association of
Japan and Baron Renne, secretary
OF the Russian embassy at Toxic.
On its arrival the commission gave
out a statement defining its purposes
saying:
THE advisory commission of rail-
road men has but n aim and object
in its mission to the Russian people,
and that is to render them the great
est possible service in their war
against what has now become a COM
mon enemy.
ut Is. and has been, the conviction
OF h American government hat its
first duty was to place at the disposal
OF h allied powers whose interests
and aims have now become the inter-
ests and aims Of the American people,
every available form of encourage
ment or assistance. material, financial
economic and military. that lies with
l. po"cA' " seCuAe LUZ C~lV4IEzdtioH
the extension and perpetuation Of the
great idea of democracy, the vindica-
ton Of which has now become the
issue upon which the war is being
fought.
"It is clear that some little time
must elapse before American material
aid a be q dominant factor in Eu-
rope. 1t is the wish of the American
government to learn at first hand how
it may serve at the earliest moment
the needs of its allies. As. the war
has progressed the entnte powers
have been drawn closer and closer
together, each giving to the other
that in which it excelled, and taking
from the other that in which it was
deficient. We in America have not
the experience in modern warfare tina,
even the smallest of our allies car
now claim, but we believe that ir
problems of railroading and trans.
portation u practice compares fav.
orably with the highest developments
known abroad.
1.-THE American railroad commission
goes to Russia with no preconceived
idea Of how it may best serve its new
sister in democracy. It goes only tc
place its knowledge Of railroad prac.
tices which exist in America unre'
servedly at the disposal Of the Rus
sian people to use or reject as theii
judgment may dictate. There is nc
man connected with the mission who
has any commercial or financial aims
whatsoever, and the commission is in.
terested only in placing its knowledge
and experience at the disposal OF
Russia, If the government of Russia
can in any way make use Of them."

Test of Presidents s Control to

real test on President wilson's
control over the majority in both
branches of Congress will como on
Thursday, when an effort will be made
to overturn the veto of the Executive
of the immigration bill. forwarded TO
the House late yesterday afternoon.
Supporters of the measure, which
had passed both branches with over
whelming Democratic support. de-
clared up to the last that the Presi-
dent would let the bill, with its OBJ
jectionable literacy test, become . law
without his signature.
The President will not risk the pos
sibility of being overthrown by Con-
gress," was the general tenure of the
remarks. Despite these rumors Presi-
dent Wilson forwarded the veto mes
sage shortly after his arrival at the
Senate yesterday afternoon. 1t was
the second time that he had officially
disapproved of the bill. and 1t was the
last day in which his disapproval of
the present draft could be registered.
In the last administration it was dis
approved by President Taft.
In his veto message the President said
In part:
Il very much regret to return this bill
(H. r. 10,3A, AN act to regulate the i'm
migration OF aliens to and the residence
of aliens In, the United States.'O without
my signature. In most of the provisions
of the bill 1 should be very glad to con-
cur, but l cannot rid myself of the
conviction that the literacy test consti-
tutes a radical change In the policy Of
ha r.rht htnk, ta H..
ciple. 1t 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 m the country
from which the alien seeking admission
came.
Moreover. even II this test might be
eQuitably insisted on, one of the excep-
tions proposed to its application involves
a provision which might lead to very del
icate and hazardous Diplomatic situations
The bill exempts from the operation of
the literacy test all aliens who shall
prove to the satisfaction of the proper
immigration officer or to the Secretary
of Labor that they are seeking admis-
sion to the United States to avoid re-
ligious persecution in the country of
their last permanent residence, whether
such persecution be evidenced by overt
acts or by laws or governmental regula-
tons that discriminate against the alien
or the race to which he belongs because
of his religious faith Such a provision
so applied and administered, would oblige
the officer concerned in effect to pass
judgment upon the laws and practices
OF foreign government and declare that
they did or did not constitute religious
persecution. This would to say the least,
be most tnvidious function for any
administrative officer OF this government
to perform. and it is not only possible
but probable that very serious questions
of international justice and comfy would
arise between this government and the
government or governments thus official
ly condemned should its exercise be at
tempted"

President Gives Approval to Proposal;
Bitter Fight Likely.

President Wilson gave his indorse-

masters of the United States under the
civil service at conference with SEN
ator Poindexter, of Oregon, at the Cap
itol late yesterday. The amendment
has been incorporated in the legisIa-

Passage of the amendment would
take away from the President the
power to make hundreds of postal an

amounting to several million dollars
Senator Poindexter indicated last
night that he will force consideration
OF the measure as soon as the bill is
taken up in the Senate again.
How far the President will GO in

PRESIDENT CONFERS
With SENATE LEADERS
Administration Legislation Program in
Danger. Wilson Is Told.

Difficulties over pending measures in
the administration's legislation program
that threaten to force abandonment of
certain legislation were placed before
President Wilson yesterday.
Democratic leaders frankly told the
President at the Capitol yesterday that
there was very little chance ofsgettfng
through at this session and general legis-
lation outside of a revenue bill and the
necessary appropriation bills.
The President was told by Senator
Husting, of Wisconsin, that he would
fight on the floor of the Senate any pro-
posal to cut up the naval oil reserve,
which would permit private oil operators
to gain possession of IL. Senator Pom
creme. of Ohio, conferred with the Presi-
dent on several amendments to the Webb
export bill which would prevent COM

consummated when such combinations
would injure the foreign trade of any
other American firm

of Georgia. After the conference Senator
Smith stated that the message, which
