over the presidents veto. At the same
time, there is no expectation that the

To Prevent Newcomers From Fall.
inc Under Spell Of World
Wide 8olshevism.

. New York-Temporary modification
of the immigration laws to permit an
influx of desirable immigrants to meet
Americas labor shortage, was urged
here by United Staes Senator Walter
e. Edge of New Jersey in an address
before the National Manufacturers
association. He also advocated pro-
cess Of Americanization to prevent
new immigrants from falling under the
spell Of Worldwide anarchists and
Bolshevists."
Immigrants should be saturated
with American loyalty and patriotism"
said Senator Edge, land should be pre-
vented from being led through the
mire of radicalism into the morass Of
anarchy"
Quoting Commissioner OF 1mm1gra-
ton Camfnetit as stating that the rad
icals have a wonderful organization
for capturing each immigrant, almost
at the momnet of landing, and bring
ing him under their Influences" the
senator said that less than six weeks
is needed to prepare Ibis mind for well
come reception of communist doc
trines"
In urging modification of the immi-
grafton laws, the senator said, he did
not mean to "open the doors to an in
discriminate horde of newcomers"
and adding that undesirables must not
be admitted and that none shall be
permitted to become an undesirable

Tenderness for Reds Scored.
Moreover, against such undesir-
ables," he added, who may filter
through, would apply every law for
deportation without the tenderness ap-
parently shown for radicals and Boil
shevists by Officials of the present ad-
ministration."
America needs common labor in all
Of it's industrial fields, Senator Edge
declared, adding that industries of all
kinds are handicapped and in some in
stances almost crippled" by the short
age Of workers. He said that this was
mainly due to "the graduation Of ele-
mental American workers to higher
spheres Of work."
