of three Senators, three Representatives and

The subject must be studied from many sides

migration is artifcialy stimulated, and nobody
has as yet originated q plan whereby the evils

tria and Hungary. Precisely what MT. bryce
and Mr. Birrell mean by It we cannot say, but
we are led to assume that each of them means
something quite different from the other auu
that the Home Rule which Mr.. Bryce sHlu
should not be and the Home Rule which Mr.. BY
rell expects bear little resemblance to each
other.
We must of course, await the formal ana tA-
pIicit presentation of Mr. Birrells bill before
making sure of it's provisions and purport. "a
far as disclosed however, we may say that Il
does not seem to provide for such Home Rule rs
Mr. Parnell demanded. or for such as Mr. Glad
stone proposed nor even for such as Mt Bryce
deprecated. 1t would be quite possible to estaO-
lish an Irish council without putting parlla-
ment on College Green or withdrawing Irish
members from Westminster, 10 say nothing OF
tampering with the Crown. Such council
would doubtless be quite different from any
governing body now existing in the United
Kingdom. But then there has never been exact
identity of system among the four members
Scotland has Local Government Board of
half a dozen members. The Irish council would
probably be something considerably in advance
of that, and there may he reasons why 1t should
be We cannot suppose the scheme is intended
to impair the supreme authority of the imperial
Parliament or to lessen the validity Of the union
under the Crown. Perhaps the most interesting
feature of the case will he the attitude of the
Irish themselves toward it. Several Of the Irish
leaders have within the last two or three years
intmated that their constant aim was the real
izatiOn Of Mr.. ParnpIs full scheme while, on
the other hand Mr.. Bryce has assured us that
the masses of intelligent and thinking Irishmen
cherish no such vain design. If Mr.. BirreTs
Home Rule plan proves to be so little Home Rule
as to be acceptable to the English, and at the
same time so much Home Rule as to satisfy the
Irish as fnalty he will have achieved one Of
the greatest feats of British craftsmanship.

THE IMMIGRATION coupR0uIsE.

Apart from the provision designed to remove
possible causes Of friction with Japan, which
was inserted as emergency legislation in the
immigration conference report. that report If
adopted, will effect few changes of consequence
in our immigration laws. The Dillingham;. or
Senate. bill was drawn as restriction measure.
1t sought to put a decisive check on immigration
and 10 sift out by tests hitherto unapplied the
raw material OF citizenship which the oceal
transportation companies have been Offering Us.
II approached the immigration problem from the
political side If, its advocates argued. we are
impeied TO raise the qualifications for citizen
ship imposed on the native born, requiring Of
them under our suffrage and election laws tie
capacity 10 read or write or exhibit some under
standing Of our political system. why should we
be continually neutralizing our efforts to i'm
prove the quality of the electorate by admitting
each year as prospective citizens eight hundred
thousand TO nine hundred thousand aliens IL
norant of our language. unable for the most
part TO read and write their own languages and
wholly cut Of touch with our ideas of free pop
ular government? TO protect our integrity as
political society the Senate bill aimed at light
sning the work of assimilation and education by
requiring some first steps toward eligibility to
be made by an intending immigrant.
There is, however, another side to the imni.
grafton problem-the economic side The United
States needs labor. There is a famine in the
labor market IN nearly every section of the coun-
try, and that famine is especially severe in the
smaller cities anG the agricultural districts
The House Of Representatives took note of this
economical factor in the equation when II
dropped the Senate's educational test and de-
cided that the time was not yet ripe for Il more
rigid scrutiny Of material which we need for
the purposes Of economical and Industrial de
veiopnent. The conference report represents the
necessary compromise between the less urgeut
and the mere urgent between the ideal and the
practical It surrenders the intelligence test
Yet 1t moves forward little way along the line
Of restriction. It doubles the head tax-increas-
