Washington, D. C.— Four years of
clamor in behalf of thousands of alien
families now separated because of
restrictions in the 1924 immigration
act was answered when an amend
ment passed during the last aes:-: a
of congress to modify the preference
and non-quota provisions of the law
became effective.
Beginning July 1, under the ne w
enactments, one-half ot each ot tbe
quotas now allotted to the various
countries is to be reserved tor the
parents of American citizens, hus
bands of American citizens where the
marriages took place after May 31
last, and farmers. The second half
of each quota will be reserved for the
wives and unmarried children under
21 years of age of lawfully-admitted
aliens. •
The new preference provision serves
a double purpose in that it not only
hastens the reunion ot long divided
families by materially shortening the
waiting time of persons entitled to
preference, but it also serves to de
fer, in many cases indefinitely, the im
migration of those whose admission
to the United States would mean the
planting of new seed in the country.
Brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles,
cousins, nieces, nephews and aliens

Under the original law, exemption,

only to the wives and unmarried chil

law will give non-quota status to
