The extinct pigeon and the mourn

London remains the largest city

Senator Capper Urges
Changes in Congress
Representation
Number of Citizers
Ruther Than Persons
Favored as Busis

Representation in Congress should
be based on the number of citizens
rather than on the number of per-
sons in State, Senator Arthur
Capper, Republican, of Kansas, told
the Independence Day meeting of
the Association of the Oldest In
habitants here today.
Pointing out that there are 4,000,-
600 unnaturalized aliens in the Ma
ton, the Senator said:
THE present system gives the
States with the large alien popula-
ton approximately SO more Con-
gressmen than they would be en-
titled to if aliens were excluded
from this count. This means that
States like Kansas, with large ma
tive born and naturalized citizen
populations. are shortchanged in
Congress by the same number OF
Congressman.
America for Americans.
II believe in America for Amer
icans-Whether Americans by birth
or by descent or by adoption" Sem
ator Capper continued. Il repeat
that we have no need, no use, no
excuse for hyphenated Americans
in the United States. And certainly
we have no place for those who hold
allegiance to foreign governments
or foreign groups"
To heighten our protection of the
American way, the Senator said we
should deport all criminal aliens and
all aliens preaching destruction of
our form of government, and tighten
immigration restrictions. He de-
plored the number of aliens on re-
lief as he gave it as his opinion
that unemployment and the care
of the unemployed constitute to-
gether the most serious problem
confronting the Union.
He disclosed his concern at efforts
OF foreign groups within the United
States to arouse the American SYM
pathy for the plight of certain Eu-
ropeans
Wants Laws frightened.
He observed:
Il am opposed to any program
which undertakes to make the
United States the policeman of the
world"
Let us tighten the existing neu-
trality laws, the Senator said. He
remarked:
Our responsibility to the world
Is to discourage war and to encour-
age world peace One way to do that
is to shut off the profits from war
and do what We can to stop the traf-
nc IN war supplies the world over.
The manufacture of munitions is
making new millionaires every year"
