'NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1017, NEW EDISON DIAMOND DISC 'PHONOGRAPHS - OF RE-CREATIONS A MASTER Product of a MASTER Mind The approximate reproduction of sound by mechanical means is no longer new or novel, but the Re-Creation of sound is decidedly new, and the secret apparently is known to none save Thomas A. Edison. After a lapse of over thirty years from Edison’s original inven- tion of mechanical sound reproduction has returned to the subject with an entirely new viewpoint. No one, except a scientist who has stood at Mr. Edison’s elbow constantly during his recent years of re- search, could give any comprehensive idea of the character and extent of his experiments. The object of these experiments was the re-crea- tign of music so perfectly that the re-creation could not be distin- guished from the original. . ! " At the conclusion of this new research work, it was characteristic of Edison that he should propose the unheard of test of having artists actually sing direct. comparison with the records he made of their-voices.

Phone 1204-3 Enough Said 'IMMIGRATION BILL 1S VETOED AGAIN ' President Obigcts to Feature on Interpretation of Law Washington, Jan. 30.—President ‘Wilson, as was expected, vetoed the immigration bill yesterday. In the statement of his reasons for refusing for the second time in his administra- tion to give his approval to the meas- ure, the president stated that the pro- vision incorporated in the bill to ad- mit illiterates who may come to the United States seeking a refuge from religious persecution involved the re- sponsibility on the part of TUnited | States immigration officlals to pass on the laws and practices of foreign gov- ernments, and this he regarded as an invidious function for any adminis- trative officer of this government to perform. Singularly this feature of the bill was inserted to meet the objections raised by President Wilson in his first veto of the bill. The president’s veto mesage follows: "The Veto. “I very much regret to return this Dbill without my signature. “In most of the provisions of the bill'I should be very glad to concur, but I cannot rid myself of the convic- tion that the literacy test constitutes a radical change in the policy of the nation which isnot justified in princi- ple. It is mot a test of character, of quality, or of personal fitness (but would operate in most cases merely as a penalty for lack of opportunity in the ‘country from which the alien seeking admission came. The oppor- tunity to gain an'education is in many cases one of the chief opportunities sought by the immigrant in coming to the United States, and our experience in the past has not been that the il- literate immigrant is as such an un- desirable immigrant. Tests of qual- ity and of purpose cannot be objected to on principle, but tests of opportun- ity surely may be. “Moreover, even' if this test might be equitably insisted on, one of the ex- ceptions proposed to its application in- volves a provision which might lead to very delicate and hazardous diplomat- ic situations. “The bill exempts from the opera- tion of the literacy test-‘all aliens who shall prove to the satisfaction of the proper immigration officer or to the secretary of labor that they are seek- ing admission to the United States.to avoid religious persecution in the country of their last permanent resi- dence, whether such persécution be evidenced by overt acts or by laws or governmental regulations that dis- criminate against the alien or the race to which he belongs because ¢f his re- ligious faith.” “Such a provision, so applied and administered, would oblige the officer concerned in effect to judgment upon the laws and practic of a for- eign government, and d re that they did or did not constitute religi- ous persecutions. This would, to say the least, be a most invidious func- tion for any administrative officer of this government to perform, and it is not only possible, but probable, that very serious questions of international Jjustice and comity would arise ' be- ernment or governments thus officially condemned, should its exercise be adopted.
