Plan for Chinese inspection program outlined in Washington
A tentative administration plan calls for appointing special agents from the commerce and labor department to inspect Chinese certificates at U S seaports in Asia and Europe. The move aims to centralize immigration control, replacing inconclusive consular handling, while a new treaty with Minister Cheng will define eligible entrants. The policy has roots in Secretary Root’s support and a shift to immigration bureau oversight. The Minnesota Presbyterian Synod convened Fergus Falls with talks on priesthood, Holy Spirit, educational work, church difficulties, college board, and home missions, with sessions running through Saturday.
