Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri op-
posing the measure.
As sent to conference. the measure
would allow no exemption for any class
or race of aliens in excess of the three
per cent limitation, and those entering
under treaties and agreements. Pro-
visions to exempt those coming here to
escape religious or political persecu-
ton from the three per cent limitation

the house, but were stricken out by
the senate immigration committee

re-inserted by offering an amendment
from the floor, but was defeated, Is
to 60. Sharp clashes occurred during
debate on the amendment. opposing
senator's charging that its adoption
would open the doors to hundreds of
thousands
Senator johnson said it was offered
to preserve very dear and senti-
mental precedent" and said it did not
offer loophole. such as described. for
the reason that government admins
trative officers would establish accur-
ately the facts in each case
II cannot find it in my heart" he
said, "to fear the man who leaves his
native land to worship God or exercise
his political rights. / would not, Of
course. permit the man to enter who
seeks to overthrown the government by
force or violence. but I would preserve
that beacon light of liberty for those
who want to worship as they see fit,
or exercise political rights denied them
at home"
Millions Vote Nationally.
The bill was defended by Senator
Williams. Democrat. Mississippi, after
Senator Reed. Democrat, Missouri, had
declared that it was "born in a shiver
of hysteria." The Mississippi senator
said there were millions of men in the
United States who did not vote as
but as Germans, Irish and
Austrians." He asserted that I'VE
have been keeping boarding house for
long enough to prove that
this thought about a melting pot was
al a piece Of tomfooiery."

JOHNSON ASKS
PROBE Of BLAIR
Internal Revenue Com
missioner's Qualifi-
cation Flayed.

Washington, May 3.-As q result oi
opposition led by Senator Johnson, Re.
publican, California, the senate late
Tuesday voted to recommit the nomina
ton Of David H. Blair. Of Winston
Salem, N. c., for internal revenue CON-
missioner to the senate finance COM
mittee with instructions to investigate
Mr.. Blair's qualifications.
Violation of the North Carolina pri-
mary law by Mr.. Blair was charged in
executive session by Senator Johnson.
Another objection to Mr.. Blair pre-
sented by Senator Johnson, concerned
questions of income tax payments BY
corporations in which Mr.. Blair's rela-
tives were said to be interested.
Senator johnson issued statement
after the session in which he said:
II am not speaking at all about what
opposed to the confirmation of Mr..
Blair. My objection is based upon two
grounds; first, he was delegate to
the Republican National convention
bound under the law Of North Carolina
to vote for the candidate receiving the
majority of votes in the presidential
preference primary there. 1 received
in this primary three times as many
votes as my opponent. Blair as a dele
gate to the national convention did not
obey the mandate of the primary. He
violated the law and betrayed his peo-
pie. He is now nominated to the most
important administrative office in the
United States.
He administers tax, prohibition and
other laws. A man who will violate
his own states laws is unfit to ad-
minister the nations laws"

The commerce department head de-
Jared for protective tariff "of large
order and spoke favorably of the
contemplated change in policy with re-
speet to the basis of assessing import
duties. The committee is considering
the establishment of an American
standard of valuation to supplant the
present system of levying tariff on
the value of imports in the land Of
production. Such plan, Mr.. Hoover
said. would be the only solution to tha
problem of meeting sales by Germany
and other foreign countries whose cur
rency is badly deprecated.
y Necessity Apparent, Says.
While declaring it to- be unneces-
sary in normal times, he explained that
the exigencies of present trade con-
ditions warrant action Of the sort pro-
posed in the bills before the commit
tee. Germany continues the policy Of
Indirectly subsiding her industries. Er.
Hoover said, adding that on the basis
of reports by federal agents the subsidy
amounted to around 80 per cent Of the
production costa.
The methods pursued In subsidizfnS
the industrials OF Germany, according
to Mr.. Hoover, include a heavy COM
tribution to the railroads and other
public utilities, expenses for services.
he said. which Justly should be as
sessed through channels not govern
mental Many local subsidies exist
throughout the German nation. Mr.
Hoover added, al of which have an in;
direct effect on the selling prices OF
German commodities abroad
The Germans are able to accomplish
the program by the Issue Of unlimited
quantities of paper currency. Mr..
Hoover said. He expressed the be-
lief. however, that this policy would
lead to inevitable disaster" It's con-
tinuation permanently cannot be con-
ceived, he explained, unless all eco
nomic laws are discarded.
The secretary made it plain that
while subsidies were continued the
German industrial nation was placed
selidly in a position for cheap rroduc-
ton. He cited steel prices quoted by
German firms in neutral markets as
So ton below American prices on
the same grade. Other lines Of Ameri-
,an trade were suffering likewise out
side the United States, he said, adding
that while these could not be controll-
I'd, the home market could be protect
I'd against the increasing stream.
