REVISION ASKED
FOR Immigration
Further Restrictions Needed,
Report States

Washington, Dec. 6. R1Exten-
sive revampin. OF the immigration
laws with the purpose Of further
restricting the flow Of aliens into
the United States is recommended
by Secretary Davis of the Labor De-
partment in his annual report.
Dealing with other phases OF the
departments activity, the docu-
ment estimates that more than L.
400. 900 workers. men. women and
children, have been placed in Jobs
during the year by the government
employment service. while its agents
of Cancellation. directed by Hugh l..
kerwin. have interviewed in AIS in
dustrial disputes during the year.
seeking to terminate disputes that
disturbed payrolls on which $4,000
workers are counted.
Work of the bureaus engaged In
special service for women and chill
dren. for the supervision of natural
ization of aliens, and the statistical
study Of wages. prices, and indus
trial economics arc likewise review
ed and the secretary's final word eX-
presses great satisfaction with exist
ing Industrial conditions. and
optimism for even further better
ment in the future.
Mexico is Cited
The chief effect of the immigra-
ton legislation Secretary Davis APP
proved would be cut the immigra-
ton from Mexico, now running at
nearly 10000 per year. to slightly
above 1000. while leaving undisturo-
ed the movement from other coun-
tries of the western hemisphere.
However, it would also compromise
the dispute between the quota" ana
national origins" methods OF deter
mining admissibiity to the United
States. and would relieve some OF
the handicaps now imposed on aliens
who are admitted.
lie recommended a compromise
between the quota and national orr
gins methods of determining admIss-
ible numbers and Endorsed the pro-
posals TO fix quota limit to hmm
grafton from Nor< and South Amer
lean countries, which now have nc
quota.
FOLLOWING the slowing down OF
Immigration from Europe. there was
a large increase in the number oil
MeNicans entering the country" the
secretary continued. They took and
are continuing to take the places
formerly filled by south and cas-,
Europeans. Under existing law the,
can continue to come in increasing
numbers. as they undoubtedly will Dc
in increasing numbers. thus defea,-
ig one of the main purposes for
which quota laws were enacted
namely. to prevent further over
crowding of our labor market.
