IMMIGRATION MEASURE
WOULD CHECK ALIENS
Jews Protest Secretary Hughes
CHASING Their People With

gy Associated Press to Every Evening.

f3y Associated Press to Every Evening
Washington. April O.-Recommenda
tions of the state department for rigid
restriction Of immigration, particularly
as anDlvjng to what We're described as
undesirable classes from the Balkan
cities. Armenia, Russia and Georgia,
were before the House today on open
ing debate on the immigration bill.
The measure as reported yesterday
hv the immigration committee would
limit admission Of aliens for fourteen
months beginning next May 10 10 three
nor cent OF each nationality IN the
limited states in 1910. The committee
renort was drawn in the light Of a re-
mort to congress by Secretary Hughes
I,ointing to conditions which II was said
were stimulating a desire IN many
European countries for emigration to
America.
Making special reference to "Arnen-
ians. Jews, Persians and Russlans,' the
eecretary's report said, "all Of these
have been so driven hither and thither
since 1914 that they cannot be re
aarded as desirable populations for any
cnuntry." Strong exception TO this con-
clusion was taken in a statement by
Panresentative Siegel, Republican, New
york. following a minority report on the
hin snhrnitted by himself and two other
members of the committee.
The Senate today entered upon its
last session of debate on the Colombian
treaty. BY previous agreement debate
was to close at four y. IN. with a vote
IN amendments preceding final action.
Proponents of ratification predicted a
margin of at least six votes for the
treaty and the defeat of all amendments.
