Chairman of Immigration Com-
mittee In House Says Further
Restrictions Necessary.
: THE OREGONTAN BUREAU,
Washington, D. C, June 10. The
3 per cent immigration law was
passed just Jn time to prevent the
United States becoming the alms
house of the world, declared Rep
resentative Johnson of Washington
in a statement given out today.
Speaking as chairman o the
house immigration committee, Mr.
Johnson declared that in his opinion
this country never will go back to
any scheme which will "welcome'
the uncounted millions of the four
corners of the world." He would
change the law, however, he said,
fixing certain base quotas of 600
or soma such number to relieve the
situation as to several countries
"whose quotas are small, but he
would not admit aliens ineligible
to citizenship, which would means
a continued bar to Chinese and
Japanese. ,
Act Comes In Nick of Time.
"In my opinion the act limiting
immigration to 355,000 for the
fiscal year ending June 30, came in
the nick of time," said Representa
tive Johnson; "it has saved the
United States in that year from an
Influx of fully 1,500,000 immigrants
at a time when we could neither
assimilate nor employ them. Under
the quota restriction, 230,537 were
admitted to May 81, while about
'2787 were admitted temporarily for
reasons of humanity and because
of difficulties in getting the new
law into operation, while 1446 were
turned back because ot exhausted
quotas.
Debarred for all causes in 11
months were 11,066, which I believe
is the record, and which is still
not enough. Too many diseased,
demented and defective are being
admitted.
Amendment Believed Justified.
"The law has been extended and
during the coming year will be
rigidly enforced. I believe con
gress would be justified in amend
ing the law so as to give all coun
tries a base quota of about 600, and
in addition thereto not to exceed 2
per cent of tha number of aliens in
the United States as shown by the
census of 1919. That would lessen
the difficulties arising from very
small quotas now given to certain
countries, and would lessen the
large quotas awarded to other
countries.

PHILADELPHIA, June 10. In se

burg chairman by an overwhelming
majority, the regular republican or
ganization today won a sweeping
victory over the forces of Giflord

The fight over the chairmanship

and Senator Pepper, who was chosen
to represent Pennsylvania in the re
publican national committee to suc
ceed Senator Boies Penrose, were
elected by acclamation.
Admitting that the republican
party in the state was divided into
two factions, all the speakers made
a plea for unity, declaring that to
be the only way to defeat the
democrats at the November election.
"I want such a victory," declared
Pinchot, "as will electrify this good
old republican state and make it
clear1 to the rest of the nation that

Birtli Rate of Pure-Blooded Na-'
tives Shows Large Decrease
During Four Years.
HONOLULU. T. H., May 18. tBy
Mail.) The Hawaiian race is not
"dying out," but in reality is "mar
rying itself out of existence," ac
cording to a statement made here by
Miss Si. Hester Lemon, registrar of
vital statistics.
; Although there has been no ma
terial increase in the death rate of
pure-blooded Hawaiians during the
past, four years, the birth rate for
the calendar year 1921 showed a ma
terial decrease as compared with
those of the four preceding years
and indicated that Hawaiian men
and women are destroying their own
race by marrying into other groups,
she said.
"It will be seen readily that this
practice will tend to increase the
part-Hawaiian population and at the
same time decrease the pure Hawai
ian population insofar as the future
is concerned," she added.
During the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1921, there were 169 mar
riages between pure Hawaiian cou
ples. In addition to these, ''58 Ha
waiian men married women of other
races and 142 Hawaiian women were
married to men of other groups.
Births among pure Hawaiian fam
ilies during the calendar year 1921
were 42 less in number than those
registered during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1921.

WASHINGTON, D..C, June 10
Organization by the United States
Grain Growers, Incorporated, with
the assistance of a Chicago million
aire, of a subsidiary for the co-operative
marketing of grain was de
tailed by James K. Mason of Milton,
Ind., vice-president of the grain
growers, in testifying today before
the special senate committee investi
gating the alleged activities of the
United States Grain Dealers' asso
ciation to "prevent co-operative mar
keting legislation.
Mr. Mason, who with other offi
cers of the grain growers, appeared
at the committee's request with
books and records in connection
with charges that the organization
had marketed no grain for its mem
bers, said the new subsidiary was
known as the United States Grain
Growers' sale department.
Millionaire to Aid Grower. -
The Chicago millionaire, whose
name he did not disclose, was en-
gaged in the sale of grain upon the
Chicago board of trade, he said. Th
millionaire, he added, is expected to
lend the grain growers $50,000 to be
used in obtaining a membership on
the Chicago board of trade and
otherwise financing the newly cre
ated sales department.
The financier, the committee was
further told, was willing to add a
million dollars or more: to make the
undertaking a success.
When mention of the Chicago mil
lionaire was brought into the hear
ing, Chairman Keyes asked:
"Will you give the committee his
name?"
"I very much prefer not to do so,"
replied Mr. Mason, "but will do so
if the committee insists."
Nine Not Demanded.
"Under the circumstances, then,
the committee will not insist."
Chairman Keyes said, and no fur
ther attempt was made to obtain
the name of the Chicago man.
The witness explained that the
sales department would handle the
grain of all members of the growers'
association which the members by
contract are to deliver to the parent
organization, for a period of five
years. The parent organization will,
it was stated, retain control of the
common stock of the sales corpora
tion and a portion of the commis
sions earned by the sale3 corpora
tion will be devoted to liquidate Its
indebtedness to the Chicago backer
for the money he may advance.
The grain growers on April 30,
according to Mr. Mason and William
G. Eckhardt, retiring treasurer of
the corporation, had a deficit of
$129,267, an increase of indebtedness
since its convention at Chicago in
March Of about $23,000. ,
Membership Is Gaining.
The corporation membership is in
creasing at the rate of about 600 a
week. It had received from mem
bership dues up to the time of the
convention - $486,310, and had in
curred up to that time liabilities to
taling $589,456.
The total current assets were
placed by Mr. Eckhardt at $218)033
and the total current liabilities at
$336,080. The association has con
tracts with its members, he stated,
to market approximately 100,000,000
bushels of grain. Both witnesses
expressed the opinion that as soon
as the sales department started op
erations it' would be able in 10 or
11 months to wipe out the indebted
ness. .
Profits t Build Elevators.
The sales department was decided
upon, the committee was told, to
meet the objections of grain ex
changes to the pro-rating of com
missions among members. As ex
plained, it is -planned by the parent
corporation to use the profits, de
rived from the sales corporation, in
part, in the construction of ele
vators and' in other instrumentali
ties," which may be considered de
sirable. Mr. Mason told the committee that
the contract with the Chicago mil
lionaire, under which an experienced
board of trade dealer- would be em-
