URGES STRICT TEST
OF INCOMING ALIENS
WadsWorth Declares Physi'
/ cal Examination Should
Be Broadened.

Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Wadsworth has recommended to Sec
retary Mellon that the medical ex-
animation given aliens upon entrance
to the United States be broadened In
dts scope.
This recommendation was made
yesterday to the Secretary following
a personal inspection at Ellis Island
by Mr.. Wadsworth. recently in con-
nection with immigration officials.
Mr. Wadsworth, who has charge of
the public health service urged the
application of the so-called intensive
examination to every incoming im=
migrant rather than to those who
patiently require such a physical
survey,
Urges joint Action.
He characterized the medical ex-
animation as of vital Importance to
the country and criticized facilities
at the island station as being in
adequate To the end that the work
mended that Mr.. Mellon join with
Secretary Davis of the Department
of Labor in asking an appropriately
for the construction of additional
Danded measure of health precaution.
He also suggested that steamship COM
panies be penalized for transporting
to this country persons clearly barred
by statutes.
There seems little excuse Mr..
Wadsworth said, for the transporting
10 this country of individuals clearly
insane when they arrive, or suffering
from some loathsome disease which
according to the immigration laws
makes their admittance impossible.
Every such case adds to the burdens
of the work at Ellis Island and is a
heavy expense to the steamship COM
panieS. | am inclined to think that
the imposition of a heavy penalty,
say $1,000 or $4,000. upon any steam
ship company which undertakes to
land an immigrant whose condition
is clearly not up to the health re-
quirements of our immi grafton laws
would have most salutary effect"
Would Improve Hospital.
As a step in preparation for the flu
ture influx of aliens, which, he said,
showed no signs of abatement, the
assistant secretary proposed improve
ment of the hospital at Ellis Island.
1T is reasonable to suppose" Mr..
Wadsworth continued, that the flow
of immigrants to this country will
continue. One of the great dangers
from this influx lies in the type of
The individual. The least that can be
solutely sure that those who are men
tally or physically unfit are stopped
at the gateways and turned back"
