AiSk Home Secretary to Modify Immigra- tion Regulations

hON-DON, Fvlb. 9—— A Jewish board of deputies, includ- ing Lord Rothschild and represent- ing Jews throughout Great Brit- ain, called upon Sir ' William Joynson-Hicks, Home Secretary, Friday, and urged‘ upon him a modification» of the present regul- ations regarding the admission and registration of aliens. ‘

The deputation suggested an- increase in the number of aliens admitted to Great Britain after the application of the Naturaliza- tion Law and exemption from re- gistration of alien children who were ini. the country in 1914 after they reach the age of 16.

nied that he was antiTSemctic, re- plied that he could not increase immigration on account of the

aiii, and pointed out that the re- gulations iregarding aliens wlllliieii equally to uli foreigners. He promised to consider the question of exempting certain classes oi’ alien children over sixteen from registration.

Regarding the immigration question in general he declarei “any country has o. yigiii i-O 11601116 whether it will or ‘will not have aliens. That is an inalienable right- The Americans have exer- cised it very freely in the last two years. The cordon around Am ericu. is now very strict indeed.”
