A. BALLINGER Olympia, Wash.. Feb. 25. U. P.) "I believe in restricting immigra tion," declared former Secretary of the Interior Richard A. Ballinger in opening the debate this morning on the anti-alien land latf in the house of representatives here. "But this bill goes in other directions that af fect the commerce and industry of i the state." Ballinger. the Rev. M. A. Matthews of Seattle. Reginald H. Parsons of Se attle and Garrett Fisher of Tacoma have been invited by the house to speak in opposition to the bill. Marion Ed wards of Seattle, who drew the bill, and several American Legion men will ad dress the house in behalf of the measure. Each side is to have 45 min utes. HKPRESET8 0 0E Ballinger declared he represented no one but himself :.s an American citi ren, "and the Chamber of Commerce." "Congress already has acted on the immigration question," said Ballinger, "by restricting the number of all aliens who may enter. Now the bill that is proposed here is not merely directed against the Japanese, but against all aliens." Declaring that "no state should em barrass the national government by of fending a friendly nation," Ballinger read from the treaty with Japan, which granted reciprocal right to the citizens of both these countries to own land for commercial purposes. He contended that the phraseology was broad enough to in clude land for agricultural purposes also. ASWER IS HALTED At the conclusion of the speech Rep resentative Paul Houser demanded to know if Ballinger represented the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. This question was blocked by Mark Reed, leader of the pro-Japanese forces, who would not permit Ballinger to answer. Dr. M. A. Matthews closed the debate. W. C. Newlove, an American legion man. gave the house and its crowded galleries the striking contrast between those who appeared for the bill and who opposed it. "I'm no financier," he said ; "I'm no minister ; 1 haven't any affairs in Japan to ! protect. I'm just one of those aver age fellows who has everything in the United States. It is this class that is being squeezed by Japanese competition, and I'm against those who are helping this foreign element to squeeze us." Councilman Philip Tindall of Seattle directed part of his speech to Dr. Mat thews. f I want to ask him," he said, "whether if he is going to preach brotherly love to us here, he will go to Georgia, his native slate, and ask for the repeal of the Jim Crow laws there, whether he will see to it that the negroes are ad mitted to theatres, to restaurants and elsewhere treated as white men in his state of Georgia. When the time when we deal justly with the negro in Georgia comes, we may tackle another race prob lem. Certainly this is not the time to en courage the settlement of a race that is unassimilable. One race question Is enough." Boy Lights Lamp, Nightgown Blazes; Burns Prove Fatal Centralis, Wash., Feb. 25.
