Chief of Police. Mr. Speaker. on the 25th of this month Cardinr.l Gibbons issued the following statement: - It Is disappointing to.many thoughtful citizens that the Immigration bill has passed both Houses of Congress. By this measure illiterates will. in the future be excluded from entrance into this country. It is to be hoped that idr. Wilson will act with the same good judgment as he has done on a former like occasion and veto the bill. Similar bills have been vetoed by preceding Presidents. who have been cognizant of the harmful effect this test of literacy would have upon desirable immigration.
