LIMITING IMMIGRATION

DANGER OF INTRODUCING DISEASE agitation in the united STATES By Telegraph—Press Association-Copyright. New York, February 19. The "New York Times’s” correspondent at ‘Washington states that the discovery of four desultory cases of typhus in various parts of the country and the largo number of cases of sleeping sickness, including 308 in New York City alone, has caused considerable agitation that Congress should deal adequately with tho immigration problem, and a measure passed providing for a large sum for tho purpose of supplementing the inspection in New York Harbour (through which more than 10 pei- cent, of the immigrants enter). C abinet, at a meeting recently, decided that a possible menace to health would result from tho unlimited immigration from Central Europe to the United States, and the Consulates, therefore, were ordered to rigorously reduce and cull the immigrants from America. Tho Senate has passed a measure limiting immigration annually to 3 per cent, of tho various nationalities already present in the United States, or approximately 355,000 for 1922. The local and Federal health authorities, notably in New York and Boston, are in conflict over tho application of the sanitary laws towards immigrants.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Aeen.
