Substitute Bill
on immigration
to Be introduced
Only So Many Aliens as Can
Be Assimilated Wholesomely
to Be Admitted Under
Plan of DIR. Culick.
BY Universal Service.


Washington. March 2.-Opposition
to the Johnson selective immigration
bill turned today to the senate, where
it Is planned to have a substitute
measure introduced.
DIR. Sydney l.. Gulick, secretary OF
the commission on international JUS
tice and good will of the Federal
Council of Churches, presented to
Senator Colt, Rhode Island, chairman
Of the senate committee on immigra-
ton. a constructive plan approved
by his organization.
The fundamental principles OF the
new plan as regards admissibility Of
aliens are these:
l. Only so many aliens coming for
permanent residence in the United
States should be admitted as there is
good reason to believe can be whole
somely assimilated by the body poll
tic.
2. Calculation as to the quota
should be based upon the number of
any given people in the United States
who have become American citizens
by naturalization, plus the number OF
Americanborn children of that peo-
pie only one of whose parents is for
eign-born.
3. Utilization OF the figures of the
latest census in reckoning quotas. in
stead of that of 1890 as provided by
the Johnson bill
The substitute plan bes the backing
OF the national committee for con-
structiye immigration legislation and
would do away with restrictions
based upon personal bias or race
prejudice.
DIR. Gulick reckons on a quota OF 2
per cent as does the johnson bill, but
notes that this Is only provisional.
