a Bit list minister. who was unable

New Jersey which meets in Atlantic
next week.
The dispute involves' the Rev. Les-
ter H. Clue. who came to this city
last March from Stanlord. Conn.. to
become pastor of the Second Pree-
byterian church. He was a itted
to the presbytpry by a vote of 21 to
17 after telling the examinhg com-
mittee that he was unable to affirm
or deny belief in the Virgin.birth of
Christ and certain of the miracles.
Later the presbytery rescinded its
action. but in June. after a prolong-
ed debate on an amplified statement
by Mr. Clee of his belief, voted to
re-establlsh him. 45 to 26. .

as a "Baptist minisfizr who was not

Rev. Robert Scott Inglis. pastor of

bytery on the other hand announced
today that it would appoint a com-

Immigration Dep’t.
Doubtful About
Quota For Germany
WASHINGTON.—-Somo doubt ex-
ists in oflicial circles as to what the
new number of Germans. admis-
sabie‘o the United States under the T
immigration laws. will be after July
1. s
The American consulate in Berlin
has announced that it will accept no I
further applications from prospec-
l‘n-e German immigrants from Octo-
hcr is to May 1 of next year. in
doing this the consulate is acting
tentatively on the assumption that.
President Coolidge will exercise hisj
perogative and proclaim the new
quota by April. 1921. For Ger-
many. it has been estimated unof-l
flcially this new quota would be
about 22,000 as compared with 51.— T
22? under the present quota.
A special commission under au-
thoriution of the last congress was
instructed to fix new quotas for im-
migration after 1927 but it has not
yet worked them out officially nor
has the President proclaimed the
changes which might be made. It!
the case the commission does not
act before next April. the existing
quota governing immigration will
carry over for at least another year.
There is considerable doubt. how-
ever. as to whether the official rs-
rating will be put into elect during
the present year or in time to affect
the 1921 immigration flow.
Unomclally, it has been calcula-
ted. that the "national origin" meth-
od of calculating the German quota
of aliens entitled to enter the Uni-
ted States annually. would work out
to a net 32.000 poncho to com.
pared with a present total of 51.-
127. The definite determination.
however. cannot be foretold until the
calculation of the official commission
is announced. Considerable doubt
exists as to requirements of the new
law and it has been argued that
President and the commission alike
have administrative iiscrotion which
will allow them to withhold any ap-
plication of new quotas. If so. the
number of Germans admissable next
year will remain the same as in pre-
vious years.

Constant improvement of the su-
to can't furnish it with horse sense.
