The Administrative Committee of the American Jewish Congress has forwarded to the delegates to the Congress throughout the country a statement outlining its position on the measures which are now pending in the United States Congress for the suspension of all immigration to this country for two or five years.
Delegates to the American Jewish Congress have been asked to register their opposition to both the Reed and Johnson resolutions on the ground that this legislation is unnecessary and that the instructions issued by President Hoover to American consuls abroad have already limited the entrance of new immigrants largely to relatives of persons already here.
The statement has been prepared by the Hon. Nathan D. Perlman, as acting chairman of the Committee on Immigration.
