ALIEN AMENDMENT
AFFECTS 10 STATES

from the polls, has been caused by
possibility that they may cause the
long battle for reapportionment to
fail entirely.
Even if the votes to be taken to-
day on these two propositions do
not kill the reapportionment bill en-
tircly. they may take it to the courts.
The constitution provides that all
persons in a state shall be counted
for the purposes Of reapportionment,
and this attempt to exclude aliens
and disfranchised Negroes would al
most certainly be challenged.
A long court battle means delay,
possibly annulment Of the act, and
a continuation Of the menace which
has hung over congress for nine
years past since it first refused to
reapportion.
At any time in this period, and
until a reapportionment is made, it
would be possible for citizen af-
fected adversely by any federal law
to start legal proceedings on the
ground that it was enacted by an
unconstitutional congress.

MOSCOW. June Pointing
sorrowfully TO more than a million
religious books and pamphlets Of
various kinds. including the Bible,
printed here during 1923, leaders of
the Society Of Goddess are urging
the printers TO refuse 10 work on
such publications hereafter.
Boycott spiritual poison" is the
slogan under which the appeal is
being made.
Two pages in a recent issue Of
rOgoniok." the most widely circu-
lated magazine in the Soviet Union,
was devoted to such an appeal. The
literary activity Of the Baptists, in
particular. arouses the wrath Of the
anfi-rclqiCus elements.

Hits Missionaries

The priest. minister or other
church official chosen by the religi-
GUS community may perform his
duties likewise only in tine one place
10 which he is accredited.
This automatically Will put halt
to i.inerant evangelism of the type
which has been gaining converts for
the B3ptists and other sects.
Moreover, registered religious COM
munities will not be permitted to
engage in any activities that are not
strictly religious, putting an end to
social work, lectures. entertain
ments. etc. which certain evangel-
lists have found useful in winning
the adherence of young people.
These limitations Will undoubted-
~ operate to slow up the work OF
the missionaries, against whom they
are evidently aimed.
