The Department of State has announced that the system of examining immigrants abroad, in order to avoid rejection on arrival here, will now extend to Germany, Norway and Denmark. The plan is already in operation in Great Britain, Ireland, Belgium and Holland. Public Health Service officers will proceed to the newly added countries and there will make formal and final examination of all immigrants. Those accepted will be eligible for visas.
