thruout this country is urging Con-
gress TO place ban on all immigra-
ton for a period Of at least two or
three years. II is also reported that
this proposal is approved by the
United States Department Of Labor
and many other official and private
agencies.
In support Of this plan, il is point
ed out that, while during the war
period, immigration has been at n
standstill, as soon as transportation
facilities are available, there will
be a strong disposition 10 flock to
this country, not only on the part
Of those who would have come but
for the war during the past four
years, but also by millions OF
Europeans who desire TO escape the
heavy burdens Of reconstruction
work and taxation which will follow
the war and which will be partic-
ularly burdensome in those countries
which are called upon TO pay heavy
indemnities. Then too, in addition
TO the apprehension Of a flood OF
foreign immigration which might
seriously disturb labor conditions in
this country. the question is being
asked, and asked persistently, as 10
whether immigrants coming from
Germany and other enemy countries
are To- he ALLOWED admission into
the United States and citizen
ship on the same basis as inn
migrants coming from neutral c0un-
tries or from those countries which
have been associated with America
during the war. The view is also
being emphasized that some special
measures should be taken with re-
ference TO the admission Of people
from Russia and other countries
that have been so disastrously af-
fected by the Bolshevik movement
and other similar creeds which are
proving so disastrous 10 all forms
OF government.
II is obvious that, in view Of the
difficulties above pointed out, and
many others which might be readily
enumerated. the immigration prob
lem is going TO be very difficult
one for Congress 10 deal with. How
ever, its proper solution is matter
Of tremendous Importance for the
welfare Of the country and demands
prompt attention.

have been involved rather than
those Of selfish despots. II has been
a struggle between autocracy and
democracy. Some individual ma
tons on the successful side have
had officials styled kings, but these
have been rather ngurehcads than
kings in fact. Though George ",
be called King Of England and Emp
crJr Of India, he is about the most
harmless person in the world and
no human beings are freer than his
so-callcd subjects. The contrary
was the fact with regard 10 the
several nations constituting what
we called, in this war, the Central
Powers. Had they won out the re-
suit would have been the speedy
weakening and overthrow of popular
government, and the substitution
# absolute rule Of autocrats and the
military class thruout the world.
But the glorious triumph of the side
upon which we have been enrolled,
sounds the death knell of monarch
zeal rule. All peoples will enjoy
the blessings of free republican
government certainly as fast as
their intelligence will Justify it. Ad-
hitting this last consideration To-
be the best measure Of the import
ance Of the war, we may safely
count it the most important and far
reaching contest ever chronicled on

SAFEGUARDING PEACE

The world is glad enough To have
peace, but, considering the diabolical
plots for the subjugation Of the
world which the Germans so de-
hberately planned and so ruthlessly
attempted 10 execute, are we justi-
fled in feeling that such peace is
real and secure II these people are
allowed 20 go where and do what
they please in the worldY
The administration OF adequate
punishment To all war-responsible
Germans may be impracticable, but
safety for the world would seem TO
demand that measures shall at least
be taken which will make IL possible
always To identify those who are
in any way responsible for this des-
picablc attempt to destroy or enslave
the world. This could be accom-
plished by the making and filing for
reference at all times, at convenient
points in every civilized country on
the globe, Of complete identification
cards. Including photographs, Ber-
tilion measurements and finger
prints, together with the war re-
cord as far as ascertainable) Of all
Germans before they are allowed 10
leave their Fatherland.
Laws also might well be passed
by this and other countries pro-
hibiting all such persons from be-
coming citizens or residents unless
they first satisfactorily establish the
fact that they have taken no part
whatever in starting the war or in
German outrages incident thereto
and are otherwise III for such citi-
zenship or residence.
This may seem like very con-
siderable task, but il is one which
is entirely feasible and which in
wolves no real hardship or injustice
TO any Germans who are innocent
Of wrongdoing in connection with
the war. II is merely a reasonable
and fairly effective method Of keep
ing tab on a people who have de-
monstrated beyond all question that
they are a menace 10 the peace and
welfare Of the world.
