Order Transferring
immigration Bureau
Signed by President
.Woy Also Is Cleared
For Application Of Other
Reorganization Plons

In line with administration de-
sires to tighten Federal control of
aliens, President Roosevelt today
signed legislation making effective
the reorganization order by which
the Bureau OF immigration and Nat
urallzation is transferred from Labor
to the Justice Department..
Actually the transfer will be con-
summated 10 days hence-on June
a.
At the time the reorganization
transfer was proposed it was ex-
planned that shifting of the bureau
to the Justice Department would
permit greater coordination of Fed
eral vigilance against espionage and
sabotage
1t was likewise announced at the
White House today that the way is
cleared for application on June 80
of the third and fourth reorganiza-
ton orders.
Outstanding change in these pro-
posals is the shifting of the Civil
Aeronautics Authority from an in
dependent status into the Frame
work of the Department of Com
merce. Opposition to this shift re-
suited in passage of disappearing
resolution in the House. but the
plan was upheld in the Senate.
Also included in the third and
fourth reorganization plans was a
correlation of the activities of the
Federal Alcohol Administration with
the Bureau of Internal Revenue and
a transfer of the Weather Bureau
from the Agriculture Department
to the Commerce Department..

Spect for established Sovereignties
1t would not interfere in any way
with continuance of equality OF
commerce and trade for all nations
of the world in their relations with
the countries of the American
continents"
The resolution was introduced
yesterday by Mr.. Bloom and by
Chairman Pittman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee.
1t would, in effect, declare to all
foreign powers that the United
States officially disapproved any
change in the political status OF
Western Hemisphere nations OF
dependencies as result of the de.
velopments of the European war.
~. S. Must Insist"
Secretary Hull said that this Gov
ernment must necessarily insist
that possessions of European nations
in the Western Hemisphere shall not
become the subject of barter o,
conquest between rival European
powers or be made the scene of the
settlement of European difficulties.
Having in mind the foregoing,
he concluded, Il heartily approve
the proposed resolution and an
glad to be able to recommend Its
favorable consideration by the Con-
gress."
The House committee was called
together to approve the bill quickly
today. Even before it met, Repre-
sentative Fish of New York, the
ranking Republican member, an
nounced his support.
Bolstering the Monroe Doctrine
by which President James Monroe
in 1923 declared the American
continents closed to future coloni-
zation by any European powers, the
legislation would commit the United
States definitely against any effort
by Germany-should it defeat the
Allies-to claim title to British
French, Dutch or Danish possessions
in the New World.
No Transfers Allowed.
While the resolution did not
specify Germany by name, it die
say that it was inspired by "unex-
pected developments" which ARE
affecting states which have possess
slons in the Western Hemisphere
and said any endeavor to transfer
such possessions from their present
owners to any other American
state would endanger the peace
and security of the United States
and other American republics.
Germany's foes and two of the
countries she has occupied, Holland
and Denmark, have such possessions
in this hemisphere. Therefore, the
effect Of the resolution was to aim
directly at Germany as things now
stand; should another non-Ameri-
can power, such as Italy, enter the
war, its target could be widened.
1t declares that the United States
would not recognize any transfer
and would not asquiesce in any at

simultaneously, the Government
struck at another aviation bottle
neck by asking five large automo-
bile manufacturers to make ar
rangements for mass production of

The airplane engine announce
ment came from Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau, who said he

duces aircraft engines-and with
the Ford, Chrysler, Studebaker and
Packard companies, which do not.

said, and already have their engi-
neers at work seeing what can be
done.
An II per cent increase in the
Nays Battle Fleet was voted by
the Senate and sent to the House
for concurrence in some minor
amendments. The bill also pro-
vides for increasing the fleets air
force to maximum Of $500 planes
and opens the way for a $35, ,OOO. 900

construction.
More than 20 combat ships, in
Guiding three aircraft carriers, at
least six cruisers and about IA sub

the bill. The $372, $50, 900 cost Of
their construction would have to

Tonnage increases in these three
categories were designated, the
Navy being left free hand to de-
termine the number of ships to be
con: ructed. 1t also would be given
authority to build % auxiliary ships,
costing $l83,000,000, if Congress
makes funds available.
An increase of l,01l in the num-
ber OF useful naval airplanes, at
