COMMITTEE APPROVES JOHNSON
ANTI- JAPANESE BILL
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 30.—Ap
proval was given today by the
house immigration committee to a
provision of the oJhnson immigration
bill which would bar Orientals from
the United States. The provision sti
pulates that no alien ineligible for cit
izenship, is to be permitted to enter
this country to take up permanent re
sidence.
The committee approved an amend
ment by Representative Raker, demo
crat, California, which would place of
ficers determination as to what indl
viduals should be exempt from the re
strictions, certain classes such as stu
dents and merchants being permitted
entry for a temporary stay in the
United States under the bill.
Representative Free, republican, of
California, joined with Mr. Raker in
advocating adoption of the amend
ment. They pointed out that under
the “gentlemem’s agreement” with
Japan, citizens of that country, once
granted passports, have been admitt
ed to this country without question
Under the amendment, Japanese en
tering American ports, regardless ot
passports, would be subjected to ex
animation by immigration officers to j
determine whether they should be
permitted to land.

NcNARY-HAUGHEN Bl> L INTRO
DUCED IN SENATE AND HOUSE
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—Congress
| faced with the task of evolving a me
thod of aiding the farmers, received a
nother proposal to add to the list al
ready in hand, when the McNary
Haughen bill, proposing a $200,000,
000 federal agricultural export corpo
ration was introduced in senate and j
house.
The measure was referred to the
agricultural committees of the two
houses, which already are busy with
hearings on various farm relief meas
ures. The purpose of the act is to
maintain prices of farm products, of
which there is an exportable surplus
at the level of pre-war prices from
1905 to 1914, as determined by the
secretaries of agriculture and labor.
Coincident to the distributions of
congressional committees, the na
tional grange’s committee on mar
keting and production met here to
! day to develop an agricultural prog -
j ram which will correlate marketing
and production by the initiative abil
ity and co-operation of the farmers
themselves without a great deal of
overhead machinery or regulative gov
ernment control.
Before the senate committee today
the Norris-Sinclare bill creating a
federal marketing agency for grain
was indorsed by representatives of
* the Farmers’ National council and the
1 Non-Partisan league.

BETTER HOMES MOVEMENT
FORMALLY INCORPORATED
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—The Bet
ter Homes movement, which has grad
ually extended its activities over the
country during the last two years,
was incorporated Monday as an ed
ucational foundation and will hereaf
ter be supported by public gifts which
have already been largely assured.
This movement was inaugurated in
1922 by Mrs. William Brown Maloney
with the assistance of an adage ofi
President Harding and under the pre
sidency of Secretary of Commerce H.
Hoover.
The movement sponsors demonstra
tion homes in towns and cities thru
out the country. These houses are
prepared and opened to the public
solely from local initiative and thru
co-operation of the women’s business,
architectural and civic groups in each
town. There were more than 500 of
such demonstrations during the Bet
ter Homes week in 1922 and more
than 1,000 in 1923.

prises Mr. Hoover as president, Mrs.

After the meeting today Mr. Hoover
announced that the movement was
under entirely independent resources
and that the Delineator Magazine,
which had so generously financially
supported the movement hitherto, had
relinguished all connection wtih it but
that there would be no change in its
general direction; that its resources
were largely assured for more active
service than hitherto.
