Canadian Niseis May Enter As Non-Quotas
President
WASHINGTON.
Eisenhower last Thursday urged
that the United States open wider
its gates to immigrants and refu
gees, including Orientals, and
drastically- change the national
origins basis for admission.
Chairman Francis E. Walter
(D. Pa.) of the House of Repre
sentatives immigration subcom
mittee said Air. Eisenhower’s pro
posals have no chance. He said
they were off ered as a Republican
vote-attracting manoeuvre in this
presidential election year.
However, several Republicans
—and Democrats—stepped for
ward to support Mr. Eisenhower
in his renewal of a campaign he
has waged during his seven years
in the White House.
As set forth in a message to
Congress, Mr. Eisenhower’s im
migration plan would:
—Double the total number of im-
migrants each year from the pre
sent 154,000 to 308,000. The an
nual total would be fixed at one
sixth of 1 per cent of the U.S.
population. The total would be
based on the 1960 census figures,
rather than the 1920 census as
now.
—Abandon the controversial con
cept of basing national immigra
tion quotas on the racial and
ethnic composition of the United
States in 1920, and substitute a
new base—-the actual number ac
cepted from each area between
1924 and 1959.
If adopted, this change would
mean admission of many more
Italians and nationals of other
Southern
European
countries
which always have had more per
sons seeking to enter, the United
States than their quotas would
allow'. Conversely, the new ap
proach would reduce migrants

Another Japanese company is

He said in an interview that

than 1,000,000 at present. B.C.
coastal mines shipping across the
Pacific were developed on the

The plan would remove the cur

quotas within what is called the
Asiatic-Pacific
triangle.
This
would place countries like Japan
on the same footing as other na
tions and erase a situation which,
has irked many Eastern people
for decades. The plan would also
permit admission of what Mr.
Eisenhower referred to as many
thousands of persons who are re
fugees without a country as a re
sult of political upheavals and
their flight from persecution.
While offering his ideas, Mr.
Eisenhower invited Congress to
draft legislation that would ac

Please pardon the tardiness of

It has been confirmed by the

Since we shall be in close touch

advise you that as far as we
know, there is at present no pos

be considered at this session of
Congress. We do know, however,
that a number of bills have been

authorize Nisei Canadians to be

Suicide Ranks 10th
Among the causes of death in
Japan, suicide ranks 10th. But it
