To Ask Closed Door to U.S. if National Origins Proviso is Postponed

February 4, 1929
See Original Daily Bulletin From This Date

The “Fellowship Forum,” restrictionist paper, in its current issue devotes a great deal of space to the present discussion in Congress as to whether or not the National Origins Provision is to be postponed for another year.

Under a streamer headline: “Hold Immigration Lines and Preserve America for Americans” the newspaper urges that the National Origins provision go into effect this year and threatens that if the present restrictive law is tampered with “American people are expected to retaliate by forcing all immigration to be suspended for several years.”
