ALIENS REGISTRATION
PROPOSED TO TIGHTEN

CHICAGO. May 21.-The sub
committee on selective immigration
of the Eugenics Committee of the
United States today announced its
recommendations concerning alien
entrance into the country, all of
which have to do with the enfOrc.
ment Of existing laws, or with chang.
es in these laws which the commit.
tee said could be made without al.
tering the fundamental legislation
already enacted. The report was
made public here by Harry Olson
chief justice of the municipal court
and member of the committee.
Our immigration laws should at
all times be rigidly enforced" said
the report. land all border-line cases
which are mostly those liable to
become public charges for medical
reasons, should be debarred unless
there is very strong evidence In
favor Of admission. Appeals from
adverse decisions of the boards of
special inquiry should rarely be
sustained, and all appeal decisions
should be based on evidence only,
as the law intended, and not on
personal representation or political
influence.
'Aliens snouiu no longer be ad.
mitted on bonds. They should eth
er come in clear, or, If they are
unfit, should not come in at all. The
steamship companies should be
held strictly accountable for making
the preliminary examinations before
embarkation which the law requires,
and they should BE fined in every
case in which it appears that an
alien has been brought here who Is
inadmissible under the law, and
whose inadmissibility could have
been detected by proper examina-
ton at the port of departure.
"Registration of aliens should be
required by law. The time limit for
deportation of insane and other eu-
genically undesirable aliens who,
from causes not affirmatively shown
to have arisen subsequent to entry
into the United States. have become
members of these classes, should be
removed. Higher physical standards
and, as recommended by this CON-
mittee in its first report, higher men,
tai standards should be required Of
all aliens"
Concerning the immigration Act
of 1924, the committee said ut
