DEPENDING ON WILSON
Opponents of Immigration Bill Look
to President for Help.

Washington, Feb. Opponents OF
the Burnett four year immigrant re-
striction bill are depending on the aid
of President Wilson in their effort to
defeat the measure.
While no congressman as yet has
any direct expression from the presi-
dent on the bill, its opponents today
pointed out that all previous stands
taken by the president on immigration
questions would, if followed now, put
him on their side.
The president twice vetoed a literacy
test measure and immigration restric-
ton not nearly SO drastic as the one
now proposed.
In addition. Representatives Siegel
and SABBATH, who are leading the fight
on the bill. believe the presidents po-
sition of "internat!onalism" will cause
him to come out against barring i'm
migrants even before he leaves Eu-
rope.
If the house rule committee acts IA
vorably on the bill next Tuesday, an
effort will be started at once to have
the president come out against the
bill either in letter or a statement.
Failing in this. those fighting the
bill are confident that the president
will veto it when he gets back to this
country and the situation is laid be-
fore him.
