MAD RUSH TO AMERICA
ARRESTED AT LONDON
About One in Ten Applicants Sus-
cessful in Running the
Gauntlet.

LONDON. August % Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).-The
United States consulate here has been
month. Cosmopolitan London has been
pouring a varied array of nationals
into the American gateway in Eng
land, with the single hope that they
be allowed to go to the United States.
It's a case of many knocking and few
entering, however.
No one is allowed TO go unless he or
she has a good reason for being in
the United States. The wealthy Brit
isher who wishes to escape after war
conditions here and see a country he
has heard SO much about recently is
in the same category as the Italian
OF French waiter. who wants to seek
job "out there" But if any one has
anything to Sell-those cases are in
the great minority, however. as few
people in England have anything now
that is needed in the United States
or if they wish to go to purchase,
they are given every facility.
Every morning an hour or so be-
fore the consulate opens a line of
seventy-five to one hundred in the
queue and more keep coming. An
average of nine out Of ten will be
disappointed.
A British woman evidently of means
and just as evidently lacking diplo-
macy made no attempt to conceal her
irritation at standing in line an hour
and half. Her reason, she said, for
wanting to go to the United States
was to visit some relatives.
"Is your presence in the United
States necessary because of the finan-
cial condition of your relatives" the
examiner asked her.
Certainly not" rather haughtily.
Then L cannot grant you a vise."
The young examiner was then del
luged with threats, but it was of no
avail.
The next applicant was an American
officer who also wished to get wise
for a girl with him whom he said he
Intended to marry when they reached
the United States. Her type raised in
the mind of the examiner the question
whether she would be gladly received
by the mother of the young man. Her
case was held Up for consideration.
The young officer doubtless Is home,
as he expected to sail within a few
days and the fiancee has not presented
herself again.
