If so, will you write an article for our publication telling our readers why you are for Ford for President?" • Mr. Frensdorf's statement, dated December 10, follows, in part: "Your message requesting that I give my reason for favoring the nomination of Henry Ford for President of the United States duly received.

"Besides this, I am well convinced that some of Mr. Ford's quoted sayings go beyond his real feelings. He not only employs thousands of Hebrews at good wages an«l -without discrimination as compared with workers of other, races, but, also, he uses the .skilled services of Jewish professional men of highest abilities. These facts satisfy my that his real antogonism is direct against individuals who indulge in' disgraceful and of ten times criminal practices and not ag %'nst the Jewish religion or people as a whole. "He is the one man who has demonstrated that a great and colossal for* tune can be accumulated without .a monopoly or being favored by special legislation, and "without robbing or taking undue advantage of labor t>r -any citizen.

Washington, Dec 19. (J. T. A.) As a result of the second Executive Committee session today, all the main features of the immigration bill to be reported to the House are practically decided upon. Though decisions and votes taken officially are only supposed to' be tentative, yet, judging from the attitude revealed, it is very •unlikely that the- Committee will change its mind when the final vote as taken. It has been dec?fc.id to embody the decisions ia forms which the tentative committee is taken. These decisions are_ as- £allows:' ' '• cent quota Ijased on the 2893.-censER-Jox; ,..sil..,immigtaats .-••except-.relatives of citizens- as a husbaad or a wife. '•-A -father or mother over fifty-five years of age and unmarried children under eighteen will be exempt from all quota restrictions. Congressman Samuel Dickstein, Democrat, of New York, a new member of the Committee, made a strong fight against the 1890 census, crgiisg at least the retention of the three per cent {juota based on the 1910 census. This plea being -without avail, he proposed the three per cent quota based on the 1890 census to be operated as follows: Preference up to one per cent is to be given to the wife, husband and unmarried children under eighteen years of declarants, resident in the United States for two years; the remaining two per cent to be alto all Conflicting statements were made to your correspondent regarding "which plan was accepted. Congressman Dickstein declared the Committee adopted the latter scheme whereas a spokesman for the Committee who usually makes official-announcements of the Committee's decisions, stated that the tentative vote 'was -.simply an -acceptance of the two per cent quota based on the 18&0 census. In any event, Dickstein will make a strong fight in the. final .voting for his compromise likelihood of its adoption. The 'Committee also decided in favor of imsiigTatioii certificates by consuls, the possession of which will admit an alien as a matter of right so far as <juota restriction is concerned, thereby avoiding hardship of excess quota upon arrival here. Th& Committee rejected the proposal of a physical inspection abroad on the ground of international objections despite Congressman Baker's unceasing efforts to obtain its acceptance. Congressman Dickstein was the only frier.d of immigration fighting in the Committee today, as Congressman Ssbath left Washington for Chicago at this cracial +;™» time. n t ^ c f ^ . «,;. most «,„«* «™»i made a strong effort to enlarge Uie list o exempt relatives, b*at failed to badge the Committee, which for most part was solid!y in favor of increased restriction.
