(Jewish Daily Bulletin)
Action on the joint resolution introduced by Senator Royal S. Copeland was taken in the Senate yesterday.
The Senate approved the resolution which provides preference in the issuance of immigration visas to the wives and minor children of aliens who sought American citizenship between July 1, 1921 and July 1, 1927.
Senator Heflin voiced his fear that it might increase the number of immigrants, but withdrew his objection when Senator Reed of Pennsylvania explained that it would not do so.
The Immigration Committee reported that much of the discontent created by the 1924 Immigration act was because many aliens who had come here to make homes and applied for citizenship had been prevented from bringing their wives and children because of the quota law. It declared that it was entirely consistent with the policy of restrictive immigration to facilitate their reunion.
