KENNEDY. Declaring that the latest (1920) cen- sus figures showing six to seven mii- | lion unnaturalized foreign born in the United States, some 95 per cent of whom can never be naturalized, offer “a serious commentary on our treat- ment of the alien in the United States,” Secretary James J.

Secre- tary Davis says, “is more important than that which sceks to promote the dvancement of immigrants in knowl e of this country and their adjust }ment to the situation here.” This i etary Davis' reply to opposition, {ied by Representative Dickstein of | New York. and he resents Representa | tive Dickstein’s statement that he “de { nounces it s originating from those who, prejudiced azainst aliens and {regard them either as criminals or potential criminals.

Secretary Davis said: “T do n know whether the estimate that there e one million aliens illegally resident he United States is too high or too it has been stated to he as high million and a half. This does not however, that these people are in the United States ‘in de nce’ of the immigration law. but perhaps in most cases merely that | their original entry was informal and | therefore no record made of their ad | | | | | rollment bre n n low mean resident | | | | | | | | mission. Prior to 1921, he explains, there was no numerical limitation upon the number of immigrants who ould enter the United States.

Barred to Citizenship. “Those who entered prior to 1921 Secretars Davis emphasized, remaining 1n the United State: fiance of the immigration laws, for the stainte of limitations has run against the offense of surreptitlous entry. and because there was no numerical lim itation many of those who entered in that way believed that they had a perfect right to do so. However. since there is no record admission of these people.” Secre Davis pointed out. “and since ivilege of naturalization ix ed upon a record of admission more than five vears old. it follows that these peopls will never be eligible for | citizenship. The unfortunate part of !the matter is.” he said, “that man such persons do not realize this until they make application for citizenship, ind if they desire to become natural- ized they must make a new entry and comme their five-vear residenc period from the date of the new en In many it impossible for them to make this new entry because | of the numerical limitation placed on | immigrants of their nationality. Such persons would have to wait their regular turn for quota immigration visas, and in many instances the viod of waiting might run to several | vears. One of Secretary Davis' aims in { cecommending the enrollment of aliens is to provide a_means for legal izing the entry of such persons where it is shown that their presence the United States fis not detri | to the best interests of the ment. He calls attention that the vears of the \World War. including those prior to our own participation in ho: (lities, “were lean immigration years, vet, notwithstanding that, the census of 1920 showed that there were in the United States between 6,000,000 land 7,000,000 unnaturalized foreign- born. It is safe to say.” continued Secretary Davis, “that 95 per cent |of these had been in the United tates more than the five-vear period required for naturalization. This . serious commentary on our treat- ment of the alien in the United States. It shows a lack of proper in- terest by the United States in the |alfens resident here. Our education- al system and our nationalization | process have failed to provide ade- |quate and suitable training for aliens who have come to us to stay And who desire to become our fellow citizens.

N one will contend that an alien who enters the United States in willful violation of law will ever make a good citizen. The enrollment of aliens would help to reduce the num ber of aliens who enter without in- spection, but,” Secretary Davis ar- gues, “it would serve the United States in far greater measure, in (hat the gnrollment which I propose would be ‘made not by police officers but through and under the direction )t the naturalization service, the records of the enrollment to be used to facllitate the naturalization proc- ess “No feature of posed is more important than that which seeks to promote the advance ment of immigrants in knowledge of this country and their adjustment to | the situation here, Secretary to tary the cases is in men Govi proposed by ar public schools. patriotic. civil and re- liglous organizations | portunities through night classes for | ndult traiming in English. civics, hls- fory and other matters which should give every alien a firm foothold Into the country's affairs earlier Wwould otherwise be possible.” Right here it should be particular- Iv noted that Secretary Davis takes a heart interest in the foreign-born, for he i one himself, although a citizen | of the United States for nearly 40 vears, He has worked practically all his life amons aliens. and counts of foreign birth. This refutation of the charge that the measure recommended by him, which Congress is soon to consider. orig- inated “from those who are prej udiced against aliens and regard them either as criminals or potential crim- inals.” Secretary Davis conceived the idea of requiring all aliens to enroll as a part of the naturalization process be- cause from his own close association explains the proposed legis- | ve- | is | the | the measure pro- | Davis | | insists, and he explains that “it is 1 angements with the to provide op- | than | among his friends thousands who are | is his best | Now Resident in U.

There was not a dry eve throughout the great bank when the sad news of his untimely passing was made known. Women, of whom there are many in the Riggs National, and men allke looked on “M. E.” a¥ a member of the family. a close personal friend. Mr. Alles friendship with Frank A. Vanderlip dates back to 1898, when the latter came to Washington as the private secretarv of Lyman .J. Gage. then Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Afles was connected with the office of the Secretary of the Treasury and he | and Vanderlip became fast friend which resulted in the promotion of Mr. Ailes 10 the assistant mecretary- ship following Mr. Vanderlip's, ad- vancement to a like position. When the Riggs National Bank in- i vited Mr. Alles to a vice presidency. he accepted, but, as he himself safd. “1 wasn't at all sure I would be paid with the same regularity that I was by the Government, and to make sure T borrowed $500 to tide me over till pay day.” His success as an official of the bank is a matter of history. Under his management, in consultation al- ways with Mr. Glover and with the unanimous support of his directors, he planned and brought into effect the four branch banks that have brought much new business to the institution and at the same time have been a great accommodation to regu- lar customers living in the vicinity {of the branches. The entire remodeling of the bank building and the addition of several upper floors was carried out under Mr. Ailes’ direction, and he also ad- vocated the capital readjustment of the institution which placed it in a much better position to serve the needs of its clientele. Played Part in Famous Row. Mr. Ailes played an important part in the row between the Riggs National Bank and J. Skelton Wil- liams, the former controller of the cur- rency, which also involved Secretary tlonal As-|McAdoo and Woodrow Wilson, then ocietles, pro- | president of the United States. ¥or a number of years examiners from the controller's offices had been finding fault with certain business of the Riggs National Bank. ‘The upshot was a fine imposed upon the bank by J. Skelton Williams of $6,000 in 1915, followed by a suit by the Riggs National Bank for the mon- ey which Mr. Willlams withheld from cash due the bank by the Treasury Department, coupled with application for an injunction, asked against the President of the United -States, the Secretary of ‘the Treasury and J. the | pre- | directors followed | recite poem after lgjvorce proceedings against him by his | wife, who was Millicent Rogers of New | D. ., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1925.

Flather and Henry H. Flather, president. vice president and cashier of the {nstitu- tion, made afdavit that the bank had not bought stock, whereupon an indictment was obtained against the officials named for perjury. ‘After many witnesses had fied at the trial, which began 28, 1916, to the gzood character of the defendants and they had estah- lished that the bank had purchased stock on order only, the jmry re- turned a verdict of not guilty ufter belng out a few minutes. At_this time the 20-year charter of the Riggs National Bank was fast ap- proaching its limit, and the bank offi- clals were greatly worrled over the prospect for a renewal. The trial for perjury and acquittal, it was believed at the time, paved the way for the ex- tension of the charter, which was granted some months iater, on the withdrawal of all suits and the prep- aration of a document by the directors of the Riggs promising “to be good hereafter,” a promise which they re- peated after the charter was granted with the addenda that they had al ways been good.

Commissioners Show Regret. The Board of Commissioners of the District, through its president, Cuno H. Rudolph, voiced regret upon learn- ing today of the death of Mr. Ailes. After expressing the sentiment of the board, Commissioner Rudolph added this personal statement: “T knew Mr. Alles for a great many years and regarded him as a valued citizen. He was a lovable character, and it was always a pleasure to work with him on various committees from time to time.
