AMERICA'S IMMIGRANTS.
AMENDING THE LAW. FIXED QUOTA FOR DOMINIONS. WASHINGTON, September 24. Mr. A. Johnson, chairman of the Immigration Coomittee of the House of Representatives, before the adjournment of the House presented important suggestions for the amendment of the Dillingham Immigration La#, among them being the reduction of entrants to two or one and a-half per cent, but giving all British Dominions a fixed approximate quota of 600 each annually; treating families as units; admitting the wife, husband or children of an alien permanently resident in the United States; making more stringent the application of the literacy test and imposing physical examination; changing the monthly percentage of each quota to 10 instead of 02, thus eliminating the phenomenon of a country's quota being completely exhausted in the first five months of each year; the authorisation of administrative discretion for the determination of nationality, and the exclusion of Hindus, Chinese, Japanese, and all Oriental peoples who cannot become citizens ultimately.—(A. and N.Z.)
