Propose Measure
Continued from PAGE One)

states solely for the purpose OF
study at an educational institution
particularly dcsisnatcd' by them.
Such students who married after en-
tcrinS the country would be deport-
ed. however.
Explaining the section OF the bill
which would provide Tor the exclu-
sion OF Japanese immigrants, Chair
man Johnson said il was the pur-
pose simply TO translate into law the
terms oil the "gcntlCmen's agree
mvnt' between the United States
and Japan affecting immigration
from the latter country. In the past,
the executive branch has objected
to attempts to deal with this CUES
ton in general legislation Ey Con-
Sress. but thus Tar, there has been
no announcement OF objection in
the present instance.
AS affecting Europe and the Near
East. the b!ll would reduce the
quotas OF immigrants from any one
country i'll any one year to four
hundred and in addition, two per
cent OF the number OF furciyn-born
individuals OF such nationality resi-
dent in the United states as deter
mined by Tie 1890 census. The
present restriction act places the
quotas at three per cent, based OH
the census OF 1910.
The number OF immigrants who
would be admissible in any one year
under this provision is estimated at
lSGl31, as against 35S, S31 annually
under the present act, but actually
the 1SG,E5I total probably would he
greatly exceeded through the opera
il, of
to avoid div i;,lon OF families.
The purpose OF going back to the
census. OF 1870 as II basis FOR quotas,
it WAS explained. was to increase
the proportion of aliens admissible
from countries in Northern and
Western Europe and to decrease the
proportion from Southern and East
Crn Europe.
illustrating how the new percent
age plan would work out. commit
teemen said ltaly's quota would be
reduced from the present 4..OuU to
5000. while the quota for Germany.
for instance, would be increased
from $4,000 to $4,000. The quotas
for Great Britain. France, Belgium
and the Scandinavian countries also
would be increased, while those for
Poland. Russia and the Balkan
states would be decreased.
Like the present temporary re-
law. the proposed act
would not operate against immigra-
ton from Canada. New Foundland.
Mexico. Cuba and Central and
South America. provided immigrants
admission to the United
States had been resident in those
countries for period Of five years.
Aliens seeking to come to the United
States would be required to obtain GER
tificatcs of entry from American con-
suls. These certificates would be linn
tied in number TO the quotas for each
country, tho purpose being to prevent
an thrush of immigrants who would
have to be turned back from American
ports after they had broken up their
homes overseas. Steamship companies
transporting immigrants without such
certificates would be subject to fines
and. in addition. would be required to
refund through collectors of customs
he passage money of such imHi-
grants.
