ITALY OPPOSED TO
QUOTA CUT IN MEW
MIGRATION LAW
Communication of Protest
Handed to Sec'y
Hughe
Associated Pr Beport.
WASHINGTON. Jsn. 2. Italy
has made representations through the
rtate department opposing the lmmi-
rrstion quota revision bow under con-
sideration by tb hoaac Immigration
committee.
The Italian communication was for-
warded to the committee today by
Secretary Hughes. It ia aimed at a
proriaioa of a bill drafted by Chair-
man Johnson. "Which alone with an
. other draft by Secretary Davis is
being used ai a basis for committee
study.
The Johnson bill propose to re-
strict each nation's quota of immi-
grants to two per cent rf the number
of their native born ritisens in this
country in lSiXX This stipulation is
described by the Italian government
as an unjustified discrimination to the
detriment of a friendly nation. The
result the crwumnuicatinn said would
be to permit increases in Immigration j
from certain countries a high as K2 j
ler cent above the number admitted
during the last three years hut would j
reduce Italy's quota to 10.6 per cm j
of that number.
It is hoped sincerely." the Italian
communication continued "that the
government of the I'nited States will
use every effort in suggesting to con-
gress a way of not reduring to a de-
risory figure the immigration of peo
pie that have contributed so much to i
the productivity and prosperity of thej
I'nited States and that a solution of'
the immigration problem may be ar-1
rived at that will not affect so harshly .
the interests and the pride of thej
Italian nation which has always had
for the American people feelings of I
true friendship and esteem. " I
Secretary Davis in submitting his'
draft of an immigration revision '
measure made no recommendation as !
to a change in the basis of determin- j
ing quotas. That was a question he '
said which congress would be best
able to decide.
