= Discount Figures on
Threatened Flood.

The Department of Labor does not yet
ses menace in the swelling flood Of
European immigration to America, but
the November Grand Jury In Kings
County. having done bit Of investigat-
ing on its own hook. called yesterday
upon Congress to enact such legislation
as will prohibit the immigration into the
country to all who cannot read and
write English and who do not possess
an intelligent understanding of the
fupdamental ideas of human liberty.
The Kings County Grand Jury set
forth it's views on the immigration situa-
ton in a presentment to County Judge
May. 1t will be forwarded to Congress
as soon as that body convenes. That
the Department of Labor isn't excited
about the rising tide was made known
yesterday by Hugh Reid. member of
The general immigration governing COM
mittee Jof the Department of Labor.
Mr Reid spent a considerable part of
yesterday at Ellis Island incidental to
Investigations he Is making.
"When ommissioner-General Cam
ninetti returns from Europe within the
next few days" he said, "the Depart
mont of Labor will be able to make an
estimate of this so-called flood of i'm
migration that is coming. We already
know that millions OF people are plan
ming to come here. but in making esti-
mates in the past we have learned that

there are 100000 Germans preparing
to make the trip just about 1000, 600

I'VE expect a big rush I'm 1921. but are
of the opinion that the numbers will fall
back TO pre-war figures or course con-
ditions may be different now. but you
must remember that even in our years of
greatest immigration--19l3 and 1914
we We're still lacking in unsldlled labor
in this country"
Mr., Reid said that his observations of
Immigration do not produce figures and
facts that would support total suspen-
sion Of immigration for two years, as
suggested by Representative Johnson,
chairman of the House Committee.

eminent with absolute iinality de-
clares it cannot yield to the allies
demand for the surrender of war and
civil personages wanted for trial for
alleged war crimes. The government
has issued a statement relative to
this demand as follows:
THE imperial government at to-
days (Thursday'sl session dealt with
the situation created by the extradi-
ton note and the refusal of Baron
Won Lersner to accept the document.
"The deliberations which took
place on the basis of the list, which
had un0fficially become known, re-
suited in full and unanimous agree
ment that the standpinot expressed
by the German note delivered at
Paris, January 25, and since publish
ed, is, in all circumstances, to be
maintained.
cat the signing of the peace trea-
ty the imperial government left no
doubt that compliance with the de
mand for extradtion was impossible.
This conviction, which it shares with
an overwhelming majority of the Ger
man people without distinction as to
party, will guide it in any further
measures and negotiations which
may become necessary"

a report, which Senator Hitchcock

The white house has taken not
