ton law had made imminent a SER
ious labor shortage served today to
draw the attention of government Of

Both immigration and labor con.

Judge Gary was quite correct in his
statement that labor shortage was
threatened.
Chairman Johnson of the House

there should be no relaxation in the

clared that Congress instead Of lib

The report presented two features
of legislation which Mr. Davis hopes
to have enacted by the next Con-
gress to supplement the present law

various countries.
Il propose that we establish strict
but just tests of physical and men,
tai health and that we make those
tests undeI the numerical restric-
ton now placed by law on immigra-

have those tests made abroad in
order that the applicant for admis-
