IMMIGRATION IS
! Up AGAIN
TODAY
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON.
International News Service

The four year old controversy
over the immigration law, which
has provoked a split between Presi-
dent Hoover and Republican leaders
in Congress, flared forth anew to-
day.
Senator David A. Reed R) of
Pennsylvs mia. who has broken with
the President on this question, an
nounced he would accept no com
promise in his battle to prevent re-
peal of the national origins sec
ton of the new law. At the last
session of Congress, he blocked
action on resolution proposing
it's repeal and at this session, he
declared he would again prevent
vote.
Continue Fight
Senators Nye R) of North Da-
kota, and Johnson R) &of Cali
fornia, who have led the fight
for repeal of the new quotas, mean.
while said they would continue
their fight to get a vote in the
S nate on the issue. They formed
the minority of the Senate Immi-
grafton Committee which upheld
President Hoover's request.
In6 WnOle controversy mas re-
volved around a new computation
of immigration quotas, based on
national origins of the American
people. Under the old law,
quotas were fixed on the basis
of the 1890 population. Under
the new law they are based on
the origins of all the 10000, 900
people now here.
The new schedule of quotas re-
duced the number of immigrants
from Belgium, Denmark, Germany,
ireland, Norway and Sweden among
others and increased immigration
from Austria, Great Britain, Hun
gary, Italy, Greece and Russia
among others. The total immigra-
ton will be but slightly reduced.
Dictate Policy
Reed declared "S"-1 groups" were
attempting to dictate this nations
immigration polict s.
"All the national origins law at.
tempts to do is to preserve our
present racial h,lance," Reed con.
cluded, $50 far as this can be con-
tro1led by immigration restriction.
To my mind, there is only one
course open. To compromise with
that issue is to invite destruction"

HOUSE To L|N|7 I
TARIFF BILL
CHANGES
By international News Service

President Hoover's advice to Con-
gress to strictly limit readjustment
of the Fordney Met Cumber tariff law
in the special session will be carried
out in the new tariff bill nearing
completion by the House Ways and
Means Committee, Representative
chairman, announced today.
In limiting tariff readjustment to
meet conditions which have changed
since 1922 and to cover new prod
ucts developed by industrial and sci
entific genius. the committee has re-
sisted demands from nearly every
branch of American industry and
agriculture for raising of tariff bar
riers.
Changes All Upward
Although Hawley declined to indi-
cate the e., tent of the readjustment,
it is understood that not more than
20 per cent Of the rates in the present
law will be affected. Nearly every
change, it is expected, will be an in
crease.
The tremendous pressure from
many sources for last-minute up
ward boosts in tariff rates has al
ready delayed the presentation of
the bill, which was scheduled to be
made public April 20. TIE measure
may not be introduced until next
week.
Chairman Hawley expressed conf
d ce that the measure would be ap-
proved in the House substantially as
it comes from committee. House
plans call for invoking the caucus
rule and limiting the right of amend
ment to a few CT troVersial items.
Hawley predicted passage of the
bill by the House in less than two
weeks.
Frear Raps Sugar Boost
Only the most highly controversial
schedules still remain unsettled, it
is reported. These include sugar,
vegetable oils, casin, steel and iron,
wool and hides.
Representative Frear R) of Wis
consin, a member of the committee,
who is fighting the proposal to 1aise
the tariff on Cuban sugar and limit
free importation from the Philip
pines, indicated the extent of the
squabble over this table commodity
when he issued another blast against
a tariff, increase.
eve must import three million
tons annually of dutiable sugar"
said Frear. Boosting the import
price with a Scent duty thus re-
suits in highway robbery of help
less American consumers, because
it increases the cost of all imported
sugar and that sugar determines
the price to the consumer.

The meals tnat can be had at

is surprising that any restaurant
is able to give it's patrons such a
high quality of food for such low
price.
Any meal, breakfast, lunch or

and quantity for the price they
ask. And the delightful tit-bits
you can procure at all hours of the
day and night is surprising. Any
kind of wholesome and health

ADD LOCAL HISTORY

There are two conflicting stories ancnt the naming of Dublin Hill. The first which, by the way, is given the most credit Is that it received it's name from the Irish settlers on the hill over fifty years ago. Jo seph Mullin, veteran newspaper man, who years ago, worked on the Her aid, claims that there used to be two inns on the hill which were connect ed by a causeway. People used to call it Double-Inn Hill and as years went by, shortened it to Dublin Hill. By the same token. New Britain used to be on the sight Of a swamp, that's when this territory used to be a part of F'armington. Dismal Swamp section of Harrington had that name just before the Revolu- tionary war. It may be that some wag, who wasn't too fond of Berlin at that time, just to show his dis gust, gave that name of Great Swamp to New Britain. Left hand ed compliments were the vogue In those days and the name stuck, es- pecially at time when folks in this neck of the woods were not going out of their way to glorify the fatherland across the seas.

FRENZY IN TWO CITIES

Philadelphia has ceased discussing Mir. Ware, political graft, the police department and the tax rate; Chica- go has discontinued contemplation of beer racketeering, gun battles, Bill Thompson and the sanitary canal Both cities are convulsed with frenzy of a different orientation. The talk is about two baseball teams and the pros and cons of probable vic tory in the forthcoming World Series.
 Golf, bridge, polo, football and marble shooting might compete with the national game-in theory-but not when the annual big series is be- ing played. In the cities which are represented in the series everyone naturally goes what is known as cuckoo. Even newborn babies are said to yell in an unusual manner, as if to ask what all the rumpus is about
 Down in Phllly more office boys are expected to be attending funerals of distant kin than ever in the his tory Of the city. Executives of Com- mercial institutions, dictatng letters to fair damsels at the typcwriters. can be excused if they mix baseball terms in with the restricted vocabu- mcrcial institutions. dictating letters to the trade In Chicago the police department may or may not be furnished with baseball bats in place of the usual nightsticks.
 Interest" is not confined to the cities where this excitement origi- mates. however. Nearly everybody everywhere who has the slightest in clination toward a perusal of the sporting pages knows the history, record and playing points Of every man on either team. And the idol of all in these parts, Of course. Is Con- nie Mack, who staged the comeback and put his speed boys on top Of his league in most impressive fashion.
