THE STRAND

Birth is a picture to which the cpl
tibet education" may be applied with
out any restriction whatsoever. The
Eugenfc Film Corporation is to be
highly commended fer entering path
that lay open to all producers and to
have achieved success and to what
many wiseaeres appeared. a most haz-
ardous direction.
For the enterprise was no doubt
somewhat risky. Educational film
had been attempted before-attempt-
ed by people, not altogether unquali-
fled for such undertaking, and yet
whenever such film was put up for
public exhibition, it must be confessed
that it hardly ever met with more
than a scant transient interest.
That it should have been so is not
greatly surprising. Puppies at play
or 'the making of rattles'' or "a wed
ding at Timbunctoo" may be all very
well but one would hardly expect such
subjects to enthuse an audience The
truth-at least such it appears in the
light of the success achieved by Birth

WANT CHINESE LABOR.

labor shall be imported to the Philip
pines to till the thousands of acres of
farm land which now lie idle is the
most important question which is ex-
pected, to be fought out in the present
session of the Philippine Congress.
Chinese immigration is now limited
by the exclusion acts of the United
States and any attempt to import
Chinese in large numbers must have
the consent of the administration at
Washington before becoming effective.
The annual Farmers Congress Of
the Philippines recently voted to ia
vor Asiatic immigration. This means
importation of Chinese since they are
the only laborers available. Combat
ing this movement on the part of the
farmers, representatives of organized
labor are preparing to make a strong
fight in the insular legislature against
letting down the bars to the Chinese.
