ALIEN HORDES HEADED
FOR U. s. WARNS
IMMIGRATION HEAD

Washington, Jan. 5-Testimony by
commissioner Wallis, of the Ellis
island immigration station, that
Europe was literally moving to the
United States.' and that a flood" of
aliens was imminent, still left mem
bers OF the Senate immigration COM
mittee doubtful tonight as to action
upon the Johnson bill prohibiting i'm
migration for one year. Several
members of the committee frankly
expressed doubt whether any measure
TO stop or restrict irnmigra ton would
be enacted al this session OF Con-
gress.
The committee obviously was I'M
pressed with Commissioner Wallis
state ment as to the need for inspec-
ton of aliens before leaving Europe
and for more rigid examination after
their arrival al American ports. The
commissioner recommended particu-
larly that facilities be established
overseas for such inspections and de-
clared that ninety per cent of the
immigrants under the existing system
would be denied permission TO sail If
ihey were examined at the ports of
embarkation by American officials.
proper system of examination in
Europe and upon arrival, Mr.. Wallis
said. would prevent an imminent
Hood Of those diseased in body and
mind.
"F'ortunate)y,' he asserted, the
steamships of the world can bring
only 1890 900 year TO the United
States. 1t is in the limited Transport
tation facilities and increased exam
nations that we will got the best
protection
The commissioner declared that re-
ports of the public health service in
dicoted that Eastern Europe today
is in the grip of four epidemics-
typhus, typhoid. dysentery and tuber-
cuiosis.' The war has undermined
the health Of those countries and
their emigrants are dangerous so the
public health of the United States,
he added.
Mr.. Wallis reminded the committee
that not a mothers son who went

turn to his home until he had taken
bath in the strongest disinfectants
and his clothing had been cleansel
thoroughly.
Yet these people come here un-
cleansed and diseased he added.
"One of the greatest troubles we have
at Ellis Island is getting rid of theij,
verr1in. 1t should be done before
they arrive"
we are there to protect the gate
way of the Nation" Mr.. Wallis said,
in telling of the work of the Ellis
Island station. IT had rather turn
back a thousand good people than let
one in who would blow up Wall street.
We mus be creful. and that causes
congestion on the island
Chairman Colt of the committee
asked whether it would be "harmfur'
il Congress postponed changing pres
cnt laws for six months.
1T would be more harmful than at
present" Mr.. Wallis replied But
would prefer Il definite measure Civ
ing us more inspectors, living quar-
ters and increased facilities over
