The article presents information about the book "Filipino Immigration," by Bruno Lasker. For three years there has been a bill before the U.S. Congress for the exclusion of Filipino immigrants, the pressure for enacting which has grown with the increasing severity of our industrial depression. Filipinos, it must be recalled, are not American citizens but "nationals" of the U.S. In view of the importance of the issue and the many misconceptions surrounding it, the American Council of the Institute of Pacific Relations commissioned Mr. Lasker to make the study which has resulted in the present book.
