United Press Assoclatlon^-By Electric .Tel*> graph—Copyriuht. (Received March 10, 2 p.m.) LONDON, March 9. In the House of Commons Mr. B. Doran (C.) asked fif the Home Secretary would prevent alien Jews from entering the country from Germany. Sir John Gilmour: It is not within the law to discriminate against aliens on the grounds of religious belief and racial origin. The Alien's Act, he added, gave adequate powers to protect the country against any undesirable influx of aliens. Each case would be considered on its merits. Mr. Doran: Hundreds of thousands of Jews are scurrying from Germany to Britain. A carriage and pair could be driven through the Aliens Act.' Mr. G. Buchanan (Lab.): Will you undertake that whatever restrictions are. applied to aliens,. Jews will not be singled'out for aggressive treatment! . Sir John Gilmour: Certainly there i« no differentiation.'. Mr. Doran: Is it the policy of thi country to allow the entrance of aliens from every country when we have three million unemployed? If you are asking for .a Hitler for this country, we can get him. (Laughter.) There was no reply.
