Box and Johnson Have Ideas for Restriction Of Quota By Harry L. Sexton WASHINGTON, Jau. 20—Two bills designed to restrict immigra tion from Mexico and other Latin American countries have been in troduced in the house, one by Rep Johnson of Washington, chairman of the house committee on im migration and naturalization, and the other by Representative Box of Texas, ranking minority mem ber of the committee. The Johnson bill proposes to set up a quota system under which for every American citizen who emi grates to reside permanently in another country of the Western hemisphere, three immigrants from that country would be admitted to the United States. The Box bill proposes that all countries on the Western hemi sphere be placed under a quota not to exceed 3 per cent of the average number of immigrants legally ad mitted annually from each of rald areas during the five fiscal year., next preceding Jttiy 1 1929. and limits ‘he total number annually from all countries to 50,000. Pro visions are made to make the re strictions less onerous on the car.e of English-speaking citizens o: Canada. “I am presenting a bill.” said Mr. Johnson in a written state ment, "which embodies what I be lieve to be the fir really sound, understandable, workable plan un der which the quota system can be applied uniformly, fairly, and Justly to all nationalities of North, Central and South American coun tries. In a statement on his bill. Mr. Box said: "The bill I am Introducing, if en acted. would place Canada. Mex ico. Central, and South American and adjacent islar. countries, such as Haiti and Sar.’o Doin'rK'o. un der quota immigration restriction; The new measure will accomplish much the same end propo ed b' the bill on th-s subject whi~h 7 have had pending f~r several Con gresses. Iven a new form because the national origins pr winch went into effect in 1923 require that any amendment to the quota lavs be in different termr." I MARKETS I N. Y.
