Washington. D. C.: I note with regret that the immigration bill has passed the Senate minus the mitigating and just provisions for religious and political refugees and the reunion of families. which provisions were contained in the bill when I voiced my approval of it and as It passed the House. The situation. therefore. has changed and I can not In justice let the pression pass that I favor unqualified restrictions. afsay this not only as a Jew who sufers in his brethrens sufferings but as an American who is loath to see his country depart from its humanitarian policy of offering a haven to those in dire need. May I ask you to give this statement the same publicity which was given the previous one. Rabbi Momuis S. LAZAaON. Personally I am as ever strongly in favor of this bill and the restriction of immigration. The time is at hand when America must first assimilate those who have already entered our borders. must first find work for those of our own citizenship and see to it that America is first for Americans. that American principles and doctrines must prevail. that the Constitution and those things for which America stands must prevail. I hope the bill will soon be agreed upon and approved.
