DOCTRINE THAT ALIENS ARE INFERIOR
 IS DENIAL OF BROTHERHOOD OF MAN

Dr. Frederick WI. Lent seems to have borrowed nothing from learn fnsss store. His address to the Connecticut Baptist State aConven- tion is replete with the errors of unintentiona1 bigotry and race ha- trsdl and with economic incompe- tsnce and ignorance of social phe- rornena, even Of those relating to eeliEion.
 He says: 'The people of foreign parentage, when we have said the worst, are no graver menace to the integrity of our free institu- tions, than the degenerate native stock, found in cities, but chiefly in rural districts"
 Could the unconsidered speech of insolent intolerance go further. Here Is an effort to compare the sound and moral people of alien races with degenerates of native stock, accompanied by the asser- tion that the sound foreigner and the degenerate stand upon the same plane. It is figure by which this preacher attempts to say, without taking full responsibility, that peo- pie of foreign parentage are grave menace to our free institutions
 It would be difficult for man to wander further from the phil osophy of Jesus, who preached the brotherhood of man. Are we not children of one Father? Then how can the foreigner differ much from the man of native stock? Are the civilizations of Europe not great civilizations? Do they not

Alcohol does not discriminate be- tween the man of one race and the man of another. There is the mal- adv by which the sins of the fath- CT are visited upon the sons, un- to the third and fourth genera tfon-great source of degeneracy. It does not distinguish between na- tives .and those of foreign birth.
 A sound, hard working, religious man is an asset to any nation which has land to spare. Be he Catholic, or Protestant, Jew, or gentle he is wanted in the United States, which contains 100, 900, 900 persons and can support, handily, a billion.
 That immigrants come here mainly to make a living is of no consequence. The fact that the Puritan forefa athers came here to have freedom of conscience means nothing now except that in 1920 freedom to worship according to the dictates of ones conscience was not accorded in Europe.
 But the Russian Jew does enter this country as much to have free dom Of conscience as to improve his material situation.
 We relieve Rev. MT. Lent of inn putation of conscious failure to measure up to the standard of his Master. He simply has failed to grasp the meaning of Brotherhood. It was once common thing for an Englishman to hate French man, just because he was a Frenchman, and for Jews and gen. : tiles to hate each other, just be- cause they were Jews and gentiles.
 But men have lived for twenty centuries in the common sense of the Man of Nazareth, and the idea that, foreigner is another kind of man, and hateful, survives at- avistically in few minds, for the same reason that horses are oc- casionally born with cloven hoofs

have government, order and re- ligion in those countries?
 Why is there migration to this country? Is it not because of the unoccupied land? Tn the Old World the land groans with the burden upon the soil. In Belgium there are 525 persons to the square mile In continental United States, 27 persons to the square mile West ward the march of Empire takes its way" From very ancient times men have migrated when the orig inal seat of the race became over crowded. But seldom has it been true that the immigrants were of an inferior quality. Social science has found it necessary to affirm that those who have the courage to sever home ties, and go afar in- to a strange country are not weak lings, but the most virile and the best of the society which they leave, although, not the richest. The law has not changed The immigration to this country is not Of degenerates, and weddings, but of strong self-denying men and women, who are able to compete under most disadvantag geous cir cumstances with those upon the soil, benefitting themselves and the country to which they come.
 Dr. Lent's assertion of an eoual- ity between those of foreign paren- tage and native degenerates is unfounded in physiology. Under feeding and overwork leave their marks alike upon Jew and Gentle.

HUDSON RIVER OBSCURED

Black Pail Sweeps Over Manhattan for Many Hours.
Loss About Quarter of Million.

New York, Feb. 5.-When 100 carloads
