DOIROTHY
B ALTON
Washington, July 26. (U. P.) The
United States today Is negotiating
with the allies to legalize drafting
many hundreds of thousands of aliens
in this country to fight under the
American flag.,
Befoe the time for a second levy
the necessary abrogrations of treaties
and action by congress will bring
aliens under the draft law.
In every section of the nation an
outcry against the "obvious Injustice"
of'the present law as applied to non
citlxens is rising. Already it has
reached congress and forced action.
Treaties Form Obstructions
The McCumber resolution to draft
aliens is today before a sub-committee
of the senate foreign relations
committee. Under this resolution
aliens may be drawn Into the army
or deported upon refusal to serve.
The war department has approved
the resolution, but the state depart
ment has pointed out diplomatio ob
structions in specific treaties with v
half dozen countries preventing draft
ing their citizens Into the United
States military service.
At the Italian embassy today It was
stated diplomatio negotiations were
under way to bring 150,000 Italians of
military age in the United States
under the provisions of the draft. At
present neither the Italian nor Ameri
can governments can lay hands upon
mem.
XTulliflcatlon la Expected
Each of the allied countries is ex
pected to acquiesce In the speedy nul
lification of any old obstructing trea
ties and agreements. But whether tluy
do or not, officials here declare that
congress may act that laws super
sede the treaties. Nations at war with
Germany are hardly expected to object
to conscription of their subjects here.
The mail of the war department is
flooded with bitter protests from cities
with a large alien population. They
claim that nearly every American will
be taken in the first levy from certain
districts with heavy alien population.
Fourth Allen In Chicago
In Chicago, one fourth of the entire
registration Is exempt as aliens. In
one district of 2923 registration 2108
are exempt as aliens, leaving only 815
Americans from which to draw 377
soldiers.
Many other northern states have big
alien percentages. In Massachusetts
29 per cent of'the entire population'
are non-cltiezns; Illinois has 16 per
cent; Michigan, 19 per cent; Connecti
cut, 87 per cent; California; 24 per
cent., ana Arizona, tu per cent,
The southern states have the lowest
alien percentages. North and South
Carolina have only .003 per cent of
non-citizens.
