* WOOD ASKS RELIEF - DURING BANK CRISIS Philippine Measure Promptly | 2 Passed Providing for $5,000,000 Bonds. By the Assoclated Press. MANILA, January 19—In a mes- sage to the legislature today. Gover- nor General Wood, declared a crisis has arisen which has to be met from the general funds of the government in assisting the Philippine National Bank to keep open its doors until certain emergency loans are liqui- dated. The message says: . Y[t is deemed advisable for the present at least that collections of all government revenues be deposited ih the insular treasury instead of in * the Philippine National Bmk, and that the bank shall not issue further emergency or other circulation notes. The urgency is great, not to protect Zovernment interests in the bank, but 10 meet current expenses of govern- ment which are not being covered by incoming revenues. For this purpose, I recommend the passage of a bill providing for the issue of $5.000,000 of_Philippine government bonds.” Both houses of the legislature passed the proposed bill tonight. pre 000,000 “ond issue, b nference before ifinal passage. expected the bond is- sue will relieve the crisis. Currency Recommendation. The governor reco mends that the government be placed. in a position to maintain the parity of the silver peso with the gold standard peso and that the gold standard fund be built up to at least ¥ per cent of the ou standing silver and paper currency. In his message he says: “This will require the borrowing on bonds of approximately $22,500,000. out of which outstanding certificates of indebtedness amounting to $10,000.- 000 will be repaid. The net increase in debt will be $12,500,000, which will be retained permanently in deposits of gold and silver as prot be- hind the “The necessity for providing so t a sum is largely due to the that the present currency re- © funds are short of their legal requirements by approvimately $9,- 000,000, represented by deposits with the Philippine Nationdl Bank invested in leng. on-liguid loans and ore unavailable for a long pe- which accompanied the mes- e would establ the unit of maturity value in the Philippines.

MENTAL DECLINE | Princeton Professor Puts Blame on Immigration and Suggests Alien Law Be Changed. PRINCETON, N. J.. January 21.— Prof. Edwin Grant Conklin, head of the department of biology at Princeton Uni- versity, declared. in a university scien- tific_lecture, that the United States would have fo put stricter ban upon im- migration if it hoped to etain its pres- ent intellectual standing. He proposed that the present law per- mitting_an_influx_amounting to 3 per cent of the total number from any coun- try be changed to 2 per cent, and that the United States have government in- ¢ spectors, not representatives of steam- ship lines, stationed in Kuropean coun- tries to examine those who wished Lo enter this country, looking up the fa ily records to discover the hercditai traits of every person_seeking admit- tanca to our shores. He deelared the intellectual capacity of the country had declined for two generations. Referring to the racial problem. he said that in 200 years there would be an amalgamation of races in this country, even allowing for the vast differences between whites and blacks.
