« . \ 1S WILINPET ALENSOVERSES Three Officials Go to Ireland | to Test Plan at Em- barkation Poits. Bs the Associated Press Officials of the State, Treasury and Labor Departments sailed on the Le- viathan for kK erday to plan for the inspection abruad of prospect ive American fmmigrants The system, which first will be placed in operation in the American consulates in the Irish Free State, is the result of months of study by the Immigration Service, the Ntate De. partment, and the Public Health Ser- vic and its successful installation, in the opinien of Secretary Davis, wil make possible the abolition of il Island as an immigration station, as well as all other immigration stations on the Atlantic seaboard Three Officials Leaving. The officials charged with pioneer- Inz the work abroad are Court du Bois, chief of the visa office of the State Department; Robe Card White, Assistant Secretary of Labor, and Dr. J. W. Kerr, assistant chiel of the Public Health Service The first work of the three will be to attach to the American con- suates in the Irish Free Staie, Amerl can immigration inspectors and public health officers to make the inspections necessary under the law hefore immi- gration vises can be granted ‘hese inspections a designed t upplant those now made Ly the American con- suls, and are intended to be thorough that another inspection will not be necessary. when the alien lands in_this country. The system is being installed in the Irish Free Ntate by consent of that government, and it will operate thece a5 an experiment and as a demonstra ton to the ot nations of the world of the desirability of such a system which Amerlean officiais hold will eliminate much of th hardship connected uh ihe &rant’s trip to this couniry. Backed by Darvis. 1t has been the desire of Secretary Davis to eliminate the nece. s far as possible, of maintainin can immigration stations at ports of entry, the Secreta that the inspection of alien: statlons and the ficials imm such necessary detention of many of them there for long periods and later their deportation, constitutes one of the weakest spots in the entire immigration service. He belleves that when immigrants ome here they should be allowed to land on the mainland. throw their packs over their backs and go about thelr business. One of the chief aims of placing the system in eperation in the Irish iree State is to overcome, by a dem onstration of its effectiven opposi tion to the system which eral nations are known to feel. If it is { later found agreeable the plan will be { extended into England, Scotland and northern Irelnad, aid offictals hope that its successtul onstration in these countries will lead to its instal lation in Iialy and other European countries. “The in tion of prospective Ame: can immigrants abroad and the regis tration of all aliens coming into the Vnited States have long been among afms of Secretary Davis, who since coming into office with the dministration has much of his time as head of the im ttion service to the perfecting of plans for both systems.
