New York, Dec. 6—America should
have some say as to who should be
allowed to emigrate to this country
and where the home-seekers should
go when they get here, in the opinion
ot Commissioner of Immigration Fred-
erick A. Wallis. He said in a survey
of th$ immigration situation made
public here that an army of 15,000-
000 foriegners is clamoring to migrate
to this country and the United States
has no means available to stop these
not wanted.

and mines where laborers are greatly

Senator Harding was given a round
of applause as he entered the senate

help to avert the menace creat-
ed by the unparelleled influx of for-
eigners through America’s front door,
according to tlie Commissioner.
More than 1,000,000 of these aliens,
“many of them refugees in the strict-
est sence of the term" will enter the
United States during the current fiscal
year, the Commissioner said. Some of
of them, he added, will find their
way to farms where they are greatly
needed, but the great majority will
flock to the cities, which is particular-
ly undesirable in this period of re-
adjustment because of food and hous-
ing conditions.
Municipal officials of several cities
have importuned immigration officials
to stop sending immigrants to their
cities and induce them . to settle on
farms, the commissioner declared.
There are thousands of people out
of work in those cities today,” he said.
These added thousands of newcomers j
only make conditions worse. Thej^
senators who shook hands with him
and slapped him upon the back. The
president-elect welcomed his admirers
with a broad smile. A day of co-opera-
tion and friendly relations between
the White House and congress was
forecast by Harding in a short address
from the floor of the senate. He dis-
claimed any desire to criticise the
present administration, but declared
his ambition would be to insure team
work between the two branches of
government.

ednt of what it was this year because
they cannot get sufficient labor on the
farms. ..Proper distribution of the im-
migrants, if it could be brought about
by legislation would circumvent this
threatening situation.
"It would send thousands to the
farms thus dealing one of the most
effective blows at the high cost of
living. It sdems to me that much could
be done in encourgairig these people
to take up small bits of ground and
work them. .1 think the government
ought to help out.”
.Commissioner Wallis suggested the
establishment of a preferential selec-
tive method ot admitting immigrants
front the 15,000,000 who, he belives
are. trying to come to the America.
“But," he added, “preferential ad-
mission cannot be instituted without
first amending the Constituion. Num-
erous suggestions have been made for
the handling of the coming millions
qpd there are many bills before Con-
gress on the subject.”
Of the present literacy test, he de-
clared “there never was a greater
farce,” and that it affords "no safety
to the country.” Some of the 72 rad-
icals confined on Ellis Island recent-
ly could read and write several lan-
guages, he said, and could pass any
literacy test divised, but “they were
destructive citizens and bad people
for this country,”
“We need real tests that will deter-
mine whether a man or woman intends
to be a real worker and a lawabiding
citizen. Many people who cannot pos-
sibly pass the literacy test will make
the most substantial citizens.
1 belive that we should have some
say as to who be allowed to come here
and where they should go. Perhaps
we could have a reciprocal agreement
with other nations to have our repre-
sentatives on the other side of the
