The measure liz designed TO be opera

limit the entry OF aliens TO per cent
OF the number Of nationals Of any coun-
try In the United States at the time
Of the 1910 census
Three amendments were adopted by
the house. One would permit admis-
sion In excess OF the 3 per cent limit
OF all aliens clearly proving they had
been subjected 10 religious persecution

BALKS At DEMAND

LIN URGE GOVERNMENT TO
REJECT PROPOSITION.
PREPARATION Commissions Demand
That German Gold Reserve Be
Transferred to Occupied Zone
Meets With Resistance.

Berlin.--While the German cabinet
has not yet Indicated the nature of
Its reply TO the reparation commits
sion's demand that the German gold
reserve be transferred to some point
in the occupied zone, President Hav-
enstein of the relchsbank and the fl
nancial writer's summarily reject the
proposition.
They take the ground that the gold
Is not only the property of a private
bank but that its removal from Ber-
lin under the conditions named would
result in the collapse of Germany cur
rency at home and abroad.
The experts assert that such a pro-
ceeding would work havoc with Ger
man economic interests and promptly
result in an advance of all commodi-
ties to fabulous prices.
1.-THE impossible is impossible, that
is all there is to it," said Herr Hav-
enstein.
The Norddeutche Allgemeine lei
tung, owned by Hugo Steinnes, says
that once the gold reserve is outside
the confines of the reichsbank's
vaults and placed under entente con-
troll in the occupied zone, It's ultimate
seizure would then become a simple
| matter.
This newspaper estimates the vol
ume of German currency held abroad
at 20000,000000 marks, and that for,
eign demands on Germany of all kinds
total 95,0o0,O00,000 marks. The value
of the present gold reserve of 1,00O,.
100000 marks is computed as repre-,
senting IS per cent of Germany's cur.
rent issue.

the British government, as disclosed
