forever regret their joining such
league as is being framed now; stand

more toward fostering peace and good
will on earth than it could do it
coupled with the other nations. The

bend their efforts toward securing
the enactment of a broader immigra-
ton policy. He said that he favored
letting only per cent. of people from
each country into the United States
