D|LL|NGHAM'S BILL
RESTRICTS ALIENS
Vermont Senator's Measure Will
Make Radical Change in I'm
migration Policy

Washington, Aug. Exchanges in the
nations immigration policy. especially as
it affects Japan and China and the Far
East. were proposed in a bill introduced
to-day by Senator Dillingham;, repubi-
can. of Vermont, and referred to the
immigration committee.
Under the measure the number of
aliens OF any nationality who might be
admitted to the country annually would
be limited to five per cent. of the num-
Der of such nationality already here.
The restriction. however, would not apply
to immigrants who are natives of coun-
tries in the western hemisphere.
The bill also would repeal all special
laws directly or indirectly relating to i'm
migration from China, Japan and other
Oriental countries.
Senator Dillingham; said the bill would
not open the door to increased immigra-
ton, owing to the small number of ma
tionals of those countries now in the Uni
ted States.
