AMERICA AS A GERMAN COLONY
An English View Of This Countrys Fate il We
Fail to Fight.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: I have been reading and inwardly digesting
the accumulated political wisdom served out TO the
sdherents of the Fatherland in the United States,
conveyed TO them in "The Fatherland" and the re-
suit Of my studies confirms me in the opinion that
this country will within five years be German
colony with the consent and cooperation Of very
large proportion Of the people living in it.
Especially does this appear inevitable when taken
in conjunction with the fact that although the
final results not in, the proceeds from the two
weeks bazaar reached the gigantic sum of 1925 900
for Gcrman-Austrian relief. This is a fact no
other group in the country. including the native
Americans, could approach and is a convincing proof
OF German numerical strength the money power be-
hind il and Of solidarity. In fine, here is a
nation within nation, with reserve Of ten army
corps, 100000 trained soldiers, duly registered
and srategically disposed and thus, with this knowl
edge to guide, there is no hazard in fully indorsng
the statement made by the German Emperor by the
mouth of Count Bdlow that by carrying out such
and such plan they could easily bring the United
States 10 terms in few weeks, with plenty of ships,
plenty Of men and plenty of money.

for greatness has never in the history Of mankind

The radiance OF that scarlet,

Divorcing Jobholders from the State
Treasury.

Governor Whitman has begun to redeem his
campaign pledges of economy and the remorse-
less execution of useless officeholders The dis
missa of four hundred oficeholders of all grades
from the State Engineers Office will save, it is
estimated. about s. $50 day for the state. Mr..
Hugo, the new Secretary of State has been able
to dispense with the services of fourteen men
planted by Democratic politicians in his depart
ment.
These reductions in working force are thor
oughy commendable 1t is the Governors policy
that only the useless men are to go. 1t is true
that this will add TO the burden of unemployment,
but the non-working political jobholder is not a
person on whom much sympathy need be wasted.
Sympathy is due, instead to the Woodworking
taxpayers who have TO keep the state treasury
filled and the states debts paid, and who can't
contribute their share and live in aluence as the
politician jobholder usually does.
There is lot more of such work to be done,
with profit to the state and betterment Of the
public business. 1t is to be hoped that while
the Governor and some of his associates are re-
ducing the number of non-working salary grab
bers some of the other members of the admins
traton won't continue TO load the payroll with
organization politicians, as they have already
shown disposition TO do.

THE LlTERACY TEST
President Wilson's Attitude Before
Taking Office and After

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Rumor has it-vague rumor, IL
is true-that President Wilson intends
to veto the immigration bill which has
recently passed both houses of Con-
gress, principally because Of the. lit
eracy test" clause.
President Wilson, as understand,
stands for selection" rather than re-
striction. He believes some measure
should be taken regarding immigra-
ton. For did he not say concerning
the situation in 1890:
Immigrants poured steadily IN as
before. but with marked alteration
Of stock. which students of affairs
noted with uneasiness.
Throughout the country men of the
sturdy stock of the north Of Europe
had made up the main strain Of for
eign blood which vas every year ADDED
to the vital working force of the coun-
try. or else men OF the Latir-Gaellc
stock of France and Northern Italy;
but now there came multitudes OF men
of the lowest class and men
of the meaner sort, men out
Of the ranks where there was neither
skill nor energy nor any initiative nor
quick intelligence; and they came in
numbers which increased from year to
year, as if the countries OF the south
Of Europe were disburdening them
selves of the more sordid and hspless
elements of their population, the men
whose standards of life and work were
such as American wo-kmen had never
dreamed Of before
Could any statement better reflect
the situation than this Of our Presl-
dent?
That was in 1890. What was it six
months ago, and what will 1t be SIX
months after the close of the war?
Ignorance of reading goes hand in
hand with ignorance Of trade and low
standard of living. Furthermore, 1t
deprives not only the immigrant but
the American laborers of higher wage.
The last report of the immigration
Commission Vol. ], page 5S) says:
1.-THE effect Of the new immigration
is clearly shown in the Western Penn
sylvania field, where the average wage
of the bituminous coal worker is AZ
cents day below .he average wage in
the Middle West and Southwest"
And. again, the commission says that
the low standard of the newer immi-
grants has tended both to stop raising
wages and also bettering the conditions
OF the older men, but what improve
ments and increases in wages have
been made have been secured in spite
Of the recent immigrants. 7. +. II.

OUR DUTY TO BELGIUM
We Can Do More by Feeding Her
than by Fighting.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: | wish to take exception 10
II. c. D. Fitzgerald's letter. headed
"Columbia's Feeble Heart"
| believe, with Mr.. Fitzgerald that
every consideration of humanity and
honor required and still requires that
We act in Belsiums behalf, even to the
extent Of declaring war on Germany.
But practical considerations are al
ways important and sometimes con-
trolling. Assuming that our forces
are sufficient, if thrown into the scales,
TO hasten the day Of Germany's eXpia-
ton, it is, nevertheless, a fact that at
no time could our aid have succored
Belgium in any other way than IN the
way il has succored her. England her
self, with greater and reader forces
than our own, close 10 the scene OF the
crime, was not in time TO do that.
Playing the criminal and assisting
the victim are two very different
things. and, in this case, advancing the
criminals day Of reckoning would al
most certainly result in the complete
humiliation OF the victim.

A Loan Plan for Small Borrowers.

The Morris plan Of industrial loans, which has
lust been put into operation in this city with
great success. has been tried with good results
in a dozen states It is a credit scheme for
the small man, who cannot maintain banking Ia
ciities and has as assets only his character and
his work. Heretofore he has had to 60 TO pawn
shop or a loan shark if he needed money and could
not borrow il as a favor from some friend or, at
best. he has turned to the Proyident Loan So
cetv. where he could borrow on goods, receiving
honest treatment. Under the Morris plan he
NAV make note. Endorsed by two persons Of
character, and after investigation and approval
his note will be discounted. He pays 1t by de
posting weekly for fifty weeks one-fiftieth part
of the sum borrowed. Thus he has the privilege
of borrowing money at the legal rate of inter-
est, instead of at pawnbrokers' rates, and of pay
ing back the principal in instruments.
This is straight business venture. 1t is not
philanthropy on the part of the stockholders of
the company, nor charity TO the borrowers. Never
theless il is one Of the best and surest ways yet
discovered 10 rid any community of the loan
shark. 1t is bound 20 be convenience TO
the person Of small means at any time. Just
now it might be veritable blessing to many a
hard-pressed father Of a family to be able to
borrow money in this way to meet a crisis.
