Washington Daybook
By Preston Grover

Washington Stripped down to the run
ming gears, the contest between President
Roosevelt and congress over continuing the
emergency powers is the old battle that pre-
sidents always lose in their second terms.
Probably each phase of the contest is
more dramatic now than ever before. There
is reason for that. The presidents public
appeal and his personal influence in Wash
ington have been tremendous. For that rea-
son, each battle that congress wins seems in
credible 1t is almost as if the irresistible
force were meeting the immovable body
and making it move.
When the president was inaugurated he
told the country that if he felt it necessary
he would ask congress for "the broad execu-
tive power to wage war against the emer-
gency." He soon felt it necessary and was
given broad executive powers.
Some of the powers have been taken
away. Some he still has. Anybody can find
takers for bet that some of them never will
be lost to the president.
Undoubtedly the most formidable mass
attack against the presidents emergency
powers was in the closing days of June when
one or another of the two branches of con-
greSs voted to:
l. Withdraw his power further to de-
value the dollar.
sterilization fund.
g. Keep the restraints upon him impos-
ed in the Neutrality act.
Further, the relief bill, itself, although
largely continuing the presidents lump
sum- control of the spending, imposed spe-
cial restraints on the method of spending
which the chief executive had sought to
avoid
The president surrendered on the relief
bill because he had to have the money or
dump heap of workers off relief. But on
the monetary and neutrality powers he
warned of a continuing battle.
Even in his first term the supreme court
and congress began trimming the presidents
powers. The court took the lead in that by
knocking out the far-reaching NRA authori-
ties which gave the administration a grip on
industry and labor factors alike.
Remaining with the president is the ire
mendous power to manage the tariff, task
which congress had held to itself from the
earliest days of the nation. He need not con-
suit congress on any ordinary tariff schedule
he may work out. His treaties will continue
to run even though congress should denounce
them.
The president has retained widespread
control over national agricultural manage
ment. Contrary to the trend in other direc-
tons, those powers have recently been ex-
tended. He now is given authority and
money to use subsidies to move surplus crops
into the world market. That is large pow
er-both domestically and internationally.
On Capitol Hill, where the rebellious
forces seem just now to have the upper hand,
predictions are heard that the trade-treaty
powers and some of the agricultural powers
may be taken away in another year.

Of Act of 1924 Is
Being Thworted
Ev the Associated Press.

EV the ASSOclale0 Press.
Pressure of political refugees has
thwarted the original intention be-
hind the immigration Act of 1924,
which was to see that the over
whelming majority of immigrants
to the United States came from
the countries of Northwestern Eu-
rope.
The act went into effect Is years
ago yesterday. 1t was admittedly
intended by Congress to close the
sluices on the broad stream of i'm
migration from South and East Eu-
rope.
1t set an annual quota of 153.774
and gave Great Britain and Ireland
alone total of 63.574, or 81 per
cent. 1t awarded the other ma
tions of Northwest Europe-France,
Switzerland. Sweden. Belgium Den
mark, the Netherlands and Norway.
liberal quotas which. together with
Great Britain and Ireland, amount
ed to IS per cent of the total
Those percentages were pretty
well maintained until 1887, when
the rush of political refugees be-
gan.
Facts for Past Year.
Although official figures for the
fiscal year which ended Friday are
not vet available. Compila alton
from a high Government source re-
veals that;
German refugees were the ma
torlty of all immigrants who came
to the United States in the fiscal
year just over. The total from Ger
many was about 1880. the num-
Der of immigrants entering the
United States being about $1,000.
This is so per cent of the total.
Political and racial refugee pres
sure also accounts for filling the
quotas of Poland, Hungary and
CzeCho-Slovakia NOV part of Ger
many and overfowing into the
non-quota category. Poland sent
about 1925, Czecho-S -Slovakia 1875
and Hungary 1910.
If these are added to the Ger
man total they make up about 81
per cent of our immigration in
the 1889 fiscal year.
In other words. the United States
Is back again to where it was in
the years prior to the immigration
Act of l924--with Central. South
and Eastern Europe furnishing a
majority of Americas S new foreign
born population.
Applications Pile Up.
That this will continue for some
years seems certain owing to the
huge backlog of immigration visa
applications piling up in Germany,
Rumania. Poland a nd Hungary.
They already are sufficient TO fill
their quotas for years to come.
Since the immigration Act went
into effect in 1924 it was followed
by seven fat years. then seven lean
years and now the fat years seem to
have started again.
In the Is years about 2.187 900
vlsaS for permanent residence were
issued to quota and non-quota i'm
migrants. OF this number 1852 595
were issued in the first seven years
and only 269663 in the next seven
years. The second period, of course,
conceded with the lean financial
years of the depression. This COM
pares with one bumper year, 1907,
when 1265.349 immigrants came in.
Now the trend is toward the fat
years again.
