Immigration law unchanged by recent Congress wartime rules extended
Washington March 30 The bulk of people believe drastic action was taken by Congress to curb immigration. In fact, most immigration controls remain as before. Wartime passport visas required for entrants were extended briefly but a conflicting repeal was passed, leaving the final outcome uncertain. President Wilson did not sign a broader restriction bill, so immigration stands as before and may loosen further depending on attorney general interpretations. Public opinion largely favors tighter controls despite a veto that never occurred.
