SATURDAY EVENING,
MANY ALIENS
ARE EAGER TO
VISIT STATES
American Consulate in Lon
don Kept Busy With
Many Nationals
Ixnulon, Sept. 20.—The United |
States canSulate here has been a ven- |
table Tower of Babel this month, j
Cosmopolitan London has been pour- I
ins a varied array of nationals into j
the American gateway in England |
with the single hope that they will:
he allowed to go to the United States, j
It's a case of many knocking and few j
entering, however.
No one is allowed to go unless he j
or she has good reason for being tn ]
the United States. The wealthy j
Britisher who wishes to escape af- j
ter-war conditions here and see a!
country he has heard so much about,
recently is in the same category as j
the Italian or French waiter who
wants to seek a job "out there." i
But if any one has anything to sell
—those cases are tn the great minor- |
ity, however, as few people in Eng
land have anything now that is need
ed in the United States —or if they
wish to go to purchase, they are
given every facility.
Every morning an hour or so be
fore the consulate opens a line of
aliens forms. Often there are from
seventy-five to one hundred in the
queque and more keep coming. An
average of nine out of ten will be
disappointed.
A British woman, evidently of
means, and just as evidetly lacking
diplomacy made no attempt to con
ceal her irritation at standing in
line an hour and a half. Her reason
she said for wanting to go to the
tjntted, States was to visit some
relatives.
"Is your presence in the United
States necessary because of the fi
nancial condition of your relatives?"
the examiner asked her.
"Certainly not," rather haughtily.
"Then I cannot grant you a vise."
The examiner was then deluged
with threats but it was of no avail.
The next applicant was an Ameri
can officer who wished to get a vise
for a girl with him whom he said he
intended to marry when they reach
ed the United States. Her type raised
in the mind of the examiner the
question whether she would be glad
ly received by the mother of the
young man. Her case was held up
for consideration. The young officer
doubtless is home as he expected to
sail within a few days and the fian
cee has not presented herself again.
Mexican Socialists
Adopt a Resolution
Against Intervention
Mexico City, Sept. 20.—The Mexi
can National Socialist party in a
resolution which El lleraldo De
Mexico asserts was adopted "at il
conference" of party leaders, de
nounces intervention by the United
States and allies itself with the ef
forts of President Carranza. The
resolution as printed in tirade against
'capitalism and asserts the exercise
of armed force against Mexico to
overthrow the Carranza government
would be only to secure one "mora
obedient to Wall street." It issues
| a call to Mexican workers to unite
against intervention and to prevent
this "hideous rape of a young, as-
I piring and democracy-loving na
ition."
