One plan that is certain OF adoption

laws. Every public, private and paro-
chial school in Washington will be
supplied with enough copies of the
traffic statutes to give one to each

WOULD ADMIT ALIENS
FOR INDUSTRIAL NEEDS
Commissioner General of Immigra.
tion Favors Modification of
Law to That Extent.

". W. Husband. commissioner gen
eral of immigration. is quoted in the
current number of the Nations 6usi-
hess. the organ of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States, was
favoring modification of the immiera-
ton law so as to admit aliens who
would fill the industrial needs Of this
country and at the same time pos
sess qualities which would maxi them
desirable residents of American ,on-
munities. The commissioner is op-
posed however. to opening the doors
to ALL
Il am of the opinion he said. that
it would be entirely possible to cor
tinue the basic number of immigrants
at minimum and then provide for
notifications which would nee. the
actual needs of the nation.
"One of the changes have in mind"
he continued. lis the creation of some
system under which the available
supplies of labor Of various kinds in
foreign countries would be constantly
communicated to our government in
order that when there is in the United
States an honest demand for labor
OF a certain kind. we may know
where to turn for the best people
available to fill that need
In the last fiscal year 139, 900 aliens
entered the United States who. in
their own country. had been laborers
and servants, and 126.OOO who had
followed similar occupations here de-
parted. so that practically nothing
was added to the Industrial man
power of the country during that
year. In the first three months Of
the present fiscal year. however, S.
600 aliens of this class We're admitted
and only 1850 departed. indicating
that the tide has turned. and the
present immigration is contributing
at least something to the industrial
forces Of the country"
