B A R ASSOC| A II 0 n .
ADVOCATES MORE LAWS
.LEN|ENT TO ALIENS

st. Louis, Aug. Advancement OF
federal legislation guaranteeing more
adequate protection to aliens in their
treaty rights was recommended at.
today's session OF the convention Of
the American Bar Association by its
committee on Jurisprudence and Law
Reform.
This subject is entitled to very
serious consideration in the pending
Congress" in the opinion of the com
mittee. Its recommendation, accord
ing TO the report, results from var
ious complaints that have been made
to the United States by other ma
tons that the rights of the citizens
Of those nations, under existing treat,
les, were not sufficiently protected by
laws of this country"
The proposed legislation provides
that the president be authorized to
direct the attorney general in the
name and behalf Of the United States
to file bill in equity in the proper
district court of the United States
against any person or persons threat
zen or subject Of a foreign country,
secured to such citizen or subject by
treaty between the United States
and such foreign country; and that
this provision shall apply to acts
threatened by state officers under
the alleged justification Of law
Of the legislature Of the state in
which such acts are to be commit
ted"
In cases where aliens are brought,
to trial in state courts for violation
of state statutes, which are deemed
by the president to be contrary to
the rights Of the defendant the gov
ernmenL under the proposed law,
would have power to file an interven-
ing petition for the transfer of the
action TO a federal court.
The committee also suggested amph'
fcauons Of the judicial code TO clari-
fy laws governing the removal OF
causes and advised changes in the
rules of the Supreme Court so that
lawyers would not have to journey
to Washington to file motions.
