BRIEF
submitted by. the Slovak League Of
America.
BY passing the immigration Act of
1924, Congress adopted restriction of
immigration as permanent policy for
the United States. There cannot be
any reasonable objection by anyone
against such a restrictive policy, if it
is the honest belief of the majority of
legislators in both houses of Congress,
although there may be division of
opinion as to the correctness of the
sources upon whi ch the figures, ulti.
nlately arrived at, are based. How.
ever, no argument is stronger than the
premise upon which it is built and if
the fundamental idea is wrong it will
be unable to support the most elaborate
superstructure.
Under the working of the Immigra
tion Act of 1924, Sec. II (b), s"The an
nual quota Of any nationality for tho
fiscal year beginning July 1st, 1927
and for each fiscal year thereafter
shall be number which bears the sam,
ratio to 100000 as the number Of in
habitants in continental United State.
in 1920 having that national origin
bears the umber Of inha bitants in con
1
tinental United States in 1920 but th'
minimum quota of any nationality slial
be 1907 According to this provision
of the act, the total of admissible i'm
migrants in the future shall be reduced
to 1884 as against 164,667 under TIN
original intentions Of the act: reduc
tion of a fraction over 9 percent 0
the original total, but in it's fina
operation, based on the census of 1872
and 1870, it causes a reduction of
fraction over 81 percent in the quot
of immigrants admissible from Czecht
Slovakia, reducing their number frol
3,073 to 2,24S from the beginning o
that fiscal year preceding which TIL
President of the United States, by
proclamation, shall determine this t
be the figure of admissible in tn
future.
Inthe brief we submitted on Januar
3rd, 1924, subsequent to the hearin
courteously accorded our representative
! by the committee on immigration an
Naturalization, while taking justifie
exception to evident preference give

just due, and we hope that the prayer
Of our petition will be granted and
that the presidential proclamation
whenever issued in the future, mind
full Of the facts as set forth above, will
allot us that figure to which we are
justly entitled, without favor or pre-.
judice.

EVIDENCE INDICATES
 TWO SURVIVORS ATE
 TEN MEMBERS CREW
JAPANESE FISHING SMACK DRIFT. ED ABOUT HELPLESSLY FOR
 SEVEN MONTHS

PORT TOWNSEND, Nov. 2. P)- Dead fnom starvation, despite evil dence which indicates they devoured the bodies of eight of their shipmates, the bodies of the last two to survive of the crew of the Japanese fishing smack Tyo Tel Maru meaning Good and Prosperous" arrived here today. The pilotless vessel had drifted with the sea currents for more than 4,000 miles from the coast of Japan.
 Physicians from the United States Quarantine station who went aboard the Tyo said there was no question but that cannibalism had been prac- ticed by the last survivors. Bones of human beings were also found aboard with the bodies of two Japanese found in hunks in tiny dark cabin.
 Dr. L. P. Seavey, quarantine officer, announced officially the whitening bones strewn about the deck were the bones of eight humans. Barely de- cipherable Japanese characters were scrawled upon board in the cabin which gave a meager record of the last few days of the starving crew.
 The writing said, or indicated, the ship had drifted helplessly about for seven months. After the crew of 12 and the Captain dispaired of repairing the stalled engine three months ago the starving Japanese gave up all hope of living and especially when they saw the first of their number die.

FALL SINCLAIR CASE ENDS IN M|STR|AL
 ACCOUNT OF JUROR
ATTORNEYS AGREE A FAIR TRIAL BE IMPOSSIBLE WITH PRES
 ENT JURY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. (P- Charges of jury irregulations resulted in a mistrial of the Fall-Sinclair con- spiracy case.
 The trial came to end soon after it convened as the result of charges of detectives for the defense who made improper efforts to establish contacts with the jury and that one of the jur- ors in talking about the case remark ed he expected soon to have an auto mobile ".as long as a block"
 Justice Siddons ordered 8 mistrial after the defense and Government at- torneys agreed a fair trial would be impossible with the present jury sit ting in the case. The defense felt the publicity attending the Govern ment's charges would react unfavora- bly, on the deliberations of the 10 men and two women hearing the case. The Grand jury already had before it affidavitts submitted by the Govern ment to back up charges with the dis trict attorneys office pressing for ac- tion. Judge Siddons told the jurors they were not only discharged from further attendance at this trial but from further attendance in his court. Justice then adjurned the court with out taking any immediate action af- fecting the juror, Edward J. Kidwell, whose alleged talking had part in the decision to declare mistrial.
 The mistrial means the mass of testimony presented in the past F days goes by the board and the Gov ernment's counsel must present again before a new jury the evidence on which they seek to convict Fall and Sinclair.
 All jurors, except Kidwell, were di- rected to assemble tomorrow at the office of Neil Burkinshaw, assistant United States attorney, who is con- ducting the@Grand jury investigation.

NEGOTIATIONS ARE UNDER WAY EUROPE
 |NSUR|NC PEACE
IDEAS OF BRITISH DIPLOMATS CAN BE TRACED THRUouT
 NEW PLAN

LONDON, Nov. 2. tP)-Negotiations are in progress among Italy, England, Germany and France to insure the peace of Europe, with one of the most ambitious programs yet hazarded and includes shifting Colonial posses sions thus eliminating one of the principal sources of discord. Among the new intentions of this new quad ruple alliance will be rendered man. date to Germany satisfying territorial ambitions of Italy and formation of emergency block against the spread of Communist views.
 It Is understood Lord Chamberlain is the principal person behind this new scheme and has already broached the subject to various foreign minis ters. It is expected in official circles that definite information will soon be forthcoming as to the success of these plans. .- Germany's share of the spells it is understood will be mandate over Kam- eruns, formerly the colony of Reich. France would probably obtain full do imitation over Morocco in exchange for grant of Syrian mandate to Italy. Italy would be asked to relinquish it's schemes in the Balkin States. While plans would be fully sponsored by all Nations it is principally the work of British diplomats whose ideas may be traced throughout this whole new plan.
