I feel that we should extend to them this right and privilege and also permit the wives and minor children to come outside of the quota of those who have resided in this country for over three years and have in every way demonstrated their ability to provide for them and also proved conclusively that they are honest. lawabiding men. In this connection I wish to embody a few communications that I have received on this subject. First. that from the Womans City Club of Chicago. second. the Immigrants Protective League. Chicago. Ill.. third. the Illinois Joint Committee of Chicago. Ill. . and further wish to say that similar actions have been taken by other women national organizations in the United States. In conclusion I wish to embody the resolution adopted by the Synod of Montana of the Presbyterian Church of the United States of America and the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. showing that this great organization is asking Congress to act on this humane question. The resolution unanimously adopted by this Synod of Montana of the Presbyterian Church of the United States of America reads as follows: We. the Synod of Montana of the Presbyterian Church of the United States of America. having learned that Immigrant families are divided because of the immigration law of 1924. and Whereas the Synod of Pennsylvania of this church and the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America have petitioned the Congress of the United States of America that the immigration law be so amended as to allow those families to be united in this country. We. the Synod of Montana of the Presbyterian Church of the United. States of America. do go on record supporting the recommendations of the aforementioned bodies concerning the law which will make possible the uniting of these families. be it further Resolved. That copies of this resolution be sent to the Committee on Immigration of both Houses of Congress and to the Senators and Representatives from this State of Montana.
