WILSON VETO ENDS HOPE Wartime Measure of Consuls Vising Passes Re-enacted but May Bo Killed by Later Haste. BT MARK SUM-IVAN. (Copyright by the New Tork Eveniwc Post, Inc. Published by Arrangement.) WASHINGTON. D. C. March 23. (Special.) The great bulk cf 'he people are under the Impression that something drastic was done by the recent congress to check immigra tion. The truth is nothing whatever was done. In fact, the net result of the last congress Is to leave Immi gration under potently less check than at any time for four years past. During the war congress passed an act requiring every immigrant com ing to the United States to have his passport vlseo by the United States consulate at the point of departure. This was a war-time measure, but It was universally held desirable to ex tend it as a partial check until there shall be a tho.-ough nevision of our immigration laws. Congress meant to extend It, but did not succeed sat isfactorily. Conflicting; Statute Panned. On the day preceding adlournment. that is on March S, congrebs passed an amendment to the consular appro priation extending this requirement and appropriating 1600.000 to carry it out. If congress had done this and nothing else its intention would have boen safely carried out, but the next day. In the haste of closing congress passed a conflicting statute. This latter was a measure repealing all war-time legislation. The conflict between the two measure 1mm di ately raised a question and the two statutes were submitted to '.he at'.or-ney-general for a decision ad to which prevails. In that Inconclusive state the mat ter now stands. Until a decision is made by the attorney-general the state department is taking it for granted that the regulation stands and is requiring that passports of immi grants be vised. What the public generally thinks Is that a drastic immigration restriction bill was passed. And so it was, but It was not passed until within ten days of the close of the session. That made it posssible for President Wil son to veto it by doipg nothing about it, and nothing is exactly what Mr. Wilson did. Veto In Explained. Various explanations are given for Mr. Wilson's inaction. The true one is that he submitted it for advice to one of his cabinet officers. Secretary of I-abor Wilson, who has oeen gen erally favorable to free iminigrat'on, and that he later reported that the bill would be difficult to carry out and that In his opinion there it not any need for restriction anyhow. An additional explanation given may be Included under the general description of bills that die in the heat of closing days that it was lost in the shuffle because the president did not feel that he had time to give adequate consideration to it. All the explanations come to the same conclusion, namely, that the bill, which passed the senate bv a vote of 60 to 2 and the house by"2S9 to 40, was prevented from becoming a law by. the presidents failure to sign it. , Immigration Made Eanler. Immigration today stands exactly where it was before all the public feeling arose which everyone thought was going to express itself in a law. In the extent that it has been changed at all, it has been changed toward making it easy b -cause if the attorney-general interprets the conflicting statutes in favDr of the broader one, then we shall have .ost even that small safeguard that lies in the passport requirement. The eiTort to be more careful about immigration has overwhelming public support. Probably the public attitude on it Is even stronger than the bouse vote of 7 to 1 or the senate of 30 to I. The opposition to restricting immigration, as shown In the hearing and In the debates, was practically confined to a small but competent , and eltecive group of large commercial Interests and to the Hebrews, who ara the only race whose leaders took any organ ized action In opposition. The fact that among the party leaders and others there Is widespread da'ly dis cussion of what the coming sesjion will do about the tariff and none of immigration would indicate that 'we are more concerned about matting a little money next year than with the more fundamental question of the kind of country our children will have to live in.

SEATTLE, Wash., March 29. (Spe cial.) Formal request for the recall of Governor Hart because of his ac tion in fostering and signing the poll tax law was filed today with J. Grant Hinkle, secretary of state, by two Seattle persons. Those signing the request- were Joseph R. Manning, Seattle under taker, who has been the prime factor in organizing opposition to the poll tax, and Mrs. George MacLaughlin, prominent clubwoman. In petitioning Secretary Hinkle the charge that Governor Hart was guilty of malfeasance in signing the bill, "well knowing that the enactment of such a law was an unwarranted and inequitable measure, tending to burden and distress the citizens of the state of Washington and deprive them of their inherent rights and liberties under the constitutional and common law." It was further charged that he thereby laid "a burden upon people impossible of performance, which would cause great distress and sor row throughout the state through its enforcement, and that he did con nive and co-ordinate in his executive capacity with the legislature so that the said bill would become law so that the citizens of the state would be deprived of their rights under the constitution and the laws of the state to refer said measure and law to a referendum of the citizens of state. Secretary Hinkle is required by law to draw up petitions. Manning said today that actual work of cir culating them will begin as soon as they are received. He said that he is receiving hundreds of letters from all parts of the state asking for peti tions. "We will have no trouble getting sufficient signatures," was his con fident prediction. To obtain a recall election 100.000 valid signatures of registered voters will be required.
