DR.. BELLS COMPLAINT
AIMS AT GOOD WILL
Believes Conduct Of Immigration
Officials on Canadian Border
Creates Unfriendliness.

In an effort to promote the friend
iiest relations possible between the
United States and Canada, DR.. Alex
ander Graham Bell tomorrow will
DISCUSS with Secretary of State
Hughes the activities of certain
u. S. immigration officials. which, he
claims. are making for anything but
a friendly feeling on the border.
Dr. Bell had an encounter with
one OF these officials last week. It
resulted in his wife, his secretary.
Miss Catherine Mackenzie, who is a
Canadian, and himself spending last
Tuesday night in the immigration
detention house at Vanceboro, Ne.
:. Arriv,ng In Washington two days
later, the scientist Immediately sent
note to the Secretary of State. re-
questing an interview that he might
explain the incident. He was in
formed today that the appointment
requested had been arranged for
noon tomorrow.
Text Of Letter.
The letter sent by DR.. Bell to the
Secretary is as follows:
Dear Mr.. Secretary:
Il have just returned from a visit
to Nova Scotia and. in crossing the
border. my attention was very forci-
bly, directed to conditions existing
there which must in time AFFECT our
friendly relations with Canada.
During recent years / have heard
a good deal about the abuse of power
by our immigration officials at Vance
boro. Me, in dealing with Canadian
passengers; but really could not
credit the statements made until an
illustration came under my personal
observation on the trip referred to.
When we consider the large num-
Der of Canadians. who are constant
ly crossing our border il seems To
me that. while one incident NAV an
pear to be a small matter. the agere-
gate of such cases must be SO large
as to justify an investigation of the
whole matter by your department.
For this reason l would beg the
privilege of a brief interview with
you upon the subject at any time that
may be convenient
