Restrictions Caused by Lack Of

action. The true one Is that he
submitted II for advice TO one of his
Cabinet officers. Secretary of Labor
Wilson, who has been generally ia
vcrable to free immigration, and the
latter reported that the bill would
be difficult to carry out, and that, in
his opinion, there isn't any need for
restriction anyhow. An additional
explanation given may be included
under the general description of
bills that die in the l.aste of closing
days, that IL ''was lost in the shuf-
fc," because the President did not
feel that he had time to give ade-
uuate consideration to 1t. All the
explanations come to the same con-
clusion, namely. that the bill which
passed the Senate by a vote of so
TO 9. and the House by 296 to 30. was
prevented from becoming n law by
the Presidents failure to sign it.
Back on Prewar Bnsis.
immigration today stands exactly
where it was before all .he public
feeling arose which everyone
thought was going to express itself
in a law. To the extent that 1t has
been changed at all, 1t has been
changed toward making IL easier.
because. 10 the Attorney General in
terprets the conflicting statutes in
favor of the broader one, then we
shall have lost even that snail safe
suard/that lies in the passport re-
uuirement.
The effort to be more careful
about immigration has overwhelm-
ing public support. Probably the
public attitude on 1t is even stronger
,han the House vote of seven to one.
or the Senate vote OF thirty to one.
The opposition 20 restricting immi-
grafton. as shown in the hearings
and in the debates. was practically
confined to a small but compact and
effective group Of large commercial
interests. and to the Hebrews, who
are the only race whose leaders took
any organized action in opposition.
The fact that among the party
leaders and others there Is wide
spread daily discussion of what the
coming session will do about the
tariff. and none of immigration,
would indicate that we are more
concerned about making a little
money next year than with the more
fundamental question of the kind of
country our children will have to
live in.'

By MARK SULLIVAN.

The great bulk of the people are
under the impression that something
drastic was done by the recent Con-
gress to check immigration. The
truth is nothing whatever was done.
In fact. the net result of the last
under potentially less check than at
any time for four years past.
During the war Congress passed
an act requiring every immigrant
coming to the United States to have
his passport vised by the United
States consul at the point of de-
parture. This was a wartime meas
ure. but II was universally held de-
sirable to extend it as partial
check until there shall be a thor
ough revision of our immigration
laws. Congress means to extend 1t,
but did not succeed satisfactorily.
Passed Conflicting Statute.
On the day. preceding adjournment
that is, on March 2-Congress
passed an amendment to the con-
sular appropriation bill, extending
this requirement and appropriating
100000 to carry IL out. II Congress
had done this and nothing else, their
intention would have been safely
carried out. But the next day. in
the haste of closing. Congress
passed a conflicting statute. This
latter was a measure repeating all
wartime legislation. The conflict
between the two measures immedi-
ately raised a question, and the two
statutes were submitted to the At
torney General for a decision as to
which prevails.
In that inconclusive state the
matter now stands For the mo-
ment, until a decision is made by
the Attorney General. the State De-
partment is taking 1t for granted
that the regulation stands, and Is
still requiring that passports of i'm
migrants be vised.
Wilson Let II Die.
What the public generally thinks
is that a drastic immigration re-
striction bill was passed by the re-
cent Congress. And so 1t was. But
it was rot passed until within ten
days of the close OF the session.
That made it possible for President
Wilson to veto it by doing nothing
about it. And nothing Is exactly
what Wilson did. Various expla-
nations are given for Wilson's In
