By FRED c. KELLY

John Bassett Moore, counselor for MI.
Bryan's Department OF State, IL one OF
the leading authorities OF the country
on international law. He has written
books on the subject that are the nnal
tidings Furthermore, he was assistant
Secretary Of State in 1888 and was secre-
tary and counsel Of the Spanish-Ameri-
can Peace Conference at Paris in that
year. From all this, even the most skep-
ticai reader will grasp the idea that John
Bassett Moore knows something about
international law and the relations OF
nations one to the other. lie knows
where the various nations are and what
comprise their rights.
Having that in mind, let US now go
back several years-back to 1880 when
Secretary Bayard was running the State
Department A friend of Bayard walked
into the Office one day and said:
II have a young man l want to get a
lob for in the State Department, but I'm
not sure he can get through his civil serv-
ice examination See il you can't throw a
little influence his way. He's a fairly
bright young man, but I'm afraid he
can't pass in geography. He doesn't
know one country from another"
The young man contrived to SLIP
through and got Job in the State De-
formation about geography.
And that young man was, of course
John Bassett Moore.
Representative L. Lazaro of Louisiana
is, strictly speaking, not Representative
Lazaro at all. Only one generation back
the family name was something entirely
different. Lazaros father was born In
Russia. His name-as one recalls it
was Beilanovitch. or one similar-Lazaro
BeilaHoyitch. When he came to this
country he brought along his entire
name, and it proved a great burden. No
matter where he went or what he tried
to do for a living, none of his asso-
ciates could pronounce his name, and
many would not even try. He feared
he might eventually be known just by
a number. So that he determined TO
have no more Of the long name, and one
night he took 1t out and lost it. No
one ever knew what happened to it, but
it was never heard of more. Then his
first name became his last name.
Thus we have a man In Congress to-
day, successor to Pujo, Of the Money
Trust investigators, known as LaZaro.
When Secretary of the Treasury Will
lam G.. McAdoo starts to do anything
h. goes right ahead. Also, he has a
good outfit of nerves.
As an illustration of this one may
recall an incident in the construction OF
the Hudson Terminal Building, in New
York. The building was put up in seven
months, which, for a twenty-two-story
structure. is moving along first rate. 1t

hazard. because nine-tenths Of the hoor
space was leased to be ready at . cse-
tain date before the building was half
way up. The contractors had II figured
down almost to the hour just when they
should have each story erected, In order
to finish the job on time.
When they got to the roof there was
a hitch. and the work began to fall be-
hind McAdoo. being head of the COM
pany, tried to find what the difYiculfy
was, but the roof was long way I'D
in the air, and information from there
was fragmentary
I'm going up to the roof to find what's
the matter" announced McAdoo.
His friends thought he was joking, for
lit was a windy day. and the only floors
In the building consisted of an occasional
plank laid between two steel beams.
! There was a little bod elevator up and
down, but McAdoo did not choose to
ascend in that way. He watched two
workmen fitting chain around a big
steel girder, and when they started the
machinery to lift the piece up twenty-five
stories. the tall, gaunt figure of William
Gibbs McAdoo was calmly seated on the
girder.
He walked about the periIous beams at
the top story until he had got the infor-
| nation he desired and then asked to be

United States citizenship by Federal
Judge in the State of Washington,
though the statute authorizes the natu-
ralization only of white persons and
those of African nativity or descent,
NAV be the means of creating serious
issue
As it was certainly not claimed that
the Hindoo is an African, it should
follow that he is white, though it was
not 50 stated. This is what the court
lad to say:
Ii is now settled. by the great weight
Of authority at least, that it was the
intention of Congress to confer the
privilege of naturalization upon mem
,ers of the Caucasian race only. 1t IS
likewise true that certain natives OF
ndia belong to that race. although the
nc of demarcation between different
astes NAV be dim and difficult of asoer-
ainment. The testimony III
MS case satisfies me that the applicant
as brought himself within the provi-
IONS of the naturalization acts.
The Judge thus takes the view eX-
pressed by the applicant that the high
est caste" of Hindoos consider them
selves TO the members of the Aryan
race. This may be so. We do not
propose to argue this point But, IN
the light of this decision, what inter
csts us greatly is to ascertain what
people are excluded by the word
white" in our naturalization laws.
Surely not the negroes, for SPECIAL pro-
vision is made for them by an amend
ment to the Federal Constitution.
1t is plain that the judge in this case
took the ground that the question is
one of race. not of color. If he IS
right. yellow Caucasians, or Aryans,
are as much entitled to American citi-
zenship as are white men. But, if the
lest of race is to be the deciding one,
fhe United States. under this ruling,
would have to exclude the Jews, who
are not Arvans. If Hindoos are to be
admitted because they are Aryans-in
spite of their color-.hen, by the same
reasoning, the Jews would have to be
excluded because they are not Aryans.
OF course, all this is hypothetical.
The color test cannot be said to be in
fallible. Many immigrants come here
from Southern Europe, who may be-
long to races generally described as
white. but who are not exactly white
themselves. Color, these days, is being
Shaded" a gooc deal. We have had
numerous instances where red, black,
brown. yellow, and white are merged,
resulting in mongrel strains. We al
ways believed that the naturalization
laws exclude all those whom we class
IS "Orientals." But the judge out in
Washington seems to interpret the law
differently. Under his rule, Persians,
who are undoubtedly Aryans, must also
be admitted; yet they are Orientals as
much as the Hindoos, high caste or
low caste
We are not surprised TO hear that
the Japanese also will lay claim to our
being obliged to admit them as well as
the Hindoo, because they trace their
origin back to that region from which
the Aryans first came" Let California
beware! Some of the Chinese, too,
might be able to make a good showing,
though they are expressly excluded by
our law. But so, for that matter, was
the Hindoo, who has created all this
tempest.
1t seems there is plenty of confusion
ahead, especially when the tenacity of
purpose of the japanese is taken into
consideration.
