FIGHT OPENS To

By WILLIAM s. NEAL
international News Service

Congressional hackers of restricted
immigration, accepting the recent
election as a popular Endorsement
of the policy, today opened cam
paign to draw the bars tighter than
ever in the coming session.
A meeting of the house immigra-
ton committee called for today
the first committee gathering for
the new session-signalliZed the
opening of the drive.
Realizing the difficulties faced in
enactment of legislation in the short
session ardent restrictionists pre-
pared to urge the committee to de-
mand prompt action on many i'm.
portant measures.
Among the measures expected to
be dealt with by Congress are:
The national origins clause,
changing the basis of immigrant
quotas. The measure has been post
poned twice and an effort is ex-
pected to be made to kill it despite
strong demand for the law.
Restricted System
A drastic deportation BILL, aimed
chiefly at alien law violators. The
Extension of the restricted system

America as provided in the Box
bill pending in committee.

of the United States as were negro

Will Monroe Doctrine Be Scrapped?

The more Britain, Germany, France Italy and
Japan study the American proposal to outlaw war;
the more they seem inclined to demand where the

body believes Secretary of State Kellogg really can
mean all he says.
If Secretary Kellogg insists he says he does

In European opinion it would nullify the Monroe
Doctrine and the well-defned American policies Oh
the open door and freedom of the seas.
Take a hypothetical Suppose Nicaragua
should choose to invite Great Britain to protect
her and Great Britain accepted making the scene

Europeans argue the United States Senate would re-
fuse to ratity any such treaty. if the secretary

tsh protectorate what could we do about it? Eject
the British? We couldn't.
War would be taboo. Invite her to get out, diplo-
matcaly? Maybe she would refuse Arbtrate? Perhaps
Britain might say there nothing to arbitrate
World court? Legally, Britain has as much right to
make protectorate of Nicaragua as we have.
Morally we have only one claim in Nicaragua or
anywhere else in Latin America for that matter and
that comes under the Monroe Doctrine, namely that
intervention in the Americas menaces the United
States and technically, under the proposed treaty,
Britans Nicaraguan move would not constitute
menace; even if it did, could do nothing about it.
Consider another possibility. What if Mexico, to
offset the stupendous power of her northern neigh
Dor, ceded Lower California to Japan. What could
we say to that?
In fact, if and Japan sign the Kellogg treaty
pedging us not to go to war with each other under
any circumstances, Japan might lick Mexico and
annex all the territory up to the Rio Grande and all
Central America as far south as the Panama Canal
and still our hands would be tied

would under the changed order.
We demand the freedom of the seas. Suppose
Britain, for example, fit to stop our merchant
ships, preventing them from trading with this or
that foreign country. An armed convoy would be
useless since, under the Kellogg plan our fleet could
