A group of Boston socialites and intellectuals, banded together in a forty-year-old organization known as the Immigration Restriction League, today made public the contents of a pamphlet entitled, “The Immigration Problem Today,” which accuses the Jews as one of three elements “which hamper our immigration laws, and are urging legislation to weaken these laws.”

A. Lawrence Lowell, former president of Harvard University, is listed as one of the vice-presidents and a member of the executive committee of the League.

Others on its roster are Joseph Lee, president; Richards M. Bradley, treasurer; Theodore G. Holcombe, executive secretary, and Thomas N. Carver, Wickliffe D. Draper and Clarence C. Little,
