great value to the cabinet on legis-

President Hoover planned to make

session. He intended to advise his
new aides, from the wealth of his
own experience, how they can best
coordinate and cooperate. Already
he has seen them individually and
instructed them about the larger

spective departments.
From Attorney General Mitchell,
he probably will ask an opinion as
to whether the prohibition enforce.

the Treasury Department to the
Department OF Justice by executive
order. or whether legislation will
be necessary.
Another matter that Mitchell
must rule on for his chief Is how
mandatory are the provisions nj

would base future Immigration
quotas on the national origins of

they showed in the $40 census. It
