HUGHES MIS0UOTEO
Did Not Recommend Restriction Of
Immiaration Of Certain Races

Washington, April 21.-,By a. PD
Protests are continuing to be made to
the state Department as result of
an Associated Press dispatch which in
correctly stated that Secretary Hughes
had recommended TO Congress rigid re-
strictions on immigration and had char
actcrized immigrants of certain nation
alitieS, among them Jews, Let's. Lithu-
anians, Russians, Armcninns, Persians
and others, as undesirable.
In reply to all these the State De-
partmcnt is pointing out that Secretary
hughes made no recommendations
whatever, and made no characterize =
tions of any class of immigrants. His
letter to Representative johnson, Of
Washington. chairman of the House i'm :
migration committee, was purely for
nal one transmitting 'paraphrased alb

tiOn received from officials of the gov
ernment who have been abroad II
was In the appendices of paraphrases,
prepared by a bureau of the State De-
partmcnt. that certain classes of immi =
grants were characterized unfavOrably.
The statement that the reCommenda =
tiOns were those of Secretary Hughes
and that the characterizationS were his
own was an error which the Associated
Press regrets, and in fairness to Mr.
| Hughes readily acknowledges, of its owl
accord
