THE IMMIGRATION


One of the most important of the
reconstruction problems that will
confront Congress will be the immi-
grafton question. Lack Of ocean
transportation for civilians during the
time we are bringing home our ar
mics will probably act as a bar to
alien immigration for a year or more
But as shipping facilities become
mor adequate to handle ordinary
passenger traffic we may expect 10
see a flood of Europeans coming to
the United States, especially from the
areas devastated by the war. They
will have been accustomed to all
sorts Of hardships at home, and will
be prepared to accept a standard of
living in this country far below that
of our own people AS a consequence
the price of their labor will be cheap,
aud our soldiers, who will be seeking
unemployment. will find it difficult
to compete against them.
On the other hand we must main
tain our traditions of providing q
refuge for worthy people who come
t o our shores in escaping from o
d:tions in their own countries beyonc
their control. But in extending tho
privileges of our institutions to the
people of our allies we must not lose
sight of the claims of their govern
ments upon them to assist in restor-
ing their own countries. the popula-
tons of which have been do depleted
and disorganized by the war.
The whole situation is n of ex-
treme delicacy, involving as it does
not only the sensibilities of our own
foreign-born population, but the con-
tiLuance of the present friendly rela-
tons with the government allied with
us. 1t is a question that must be
handled in Congress. if its solution is
to be successful. by experts who have
given their time and attention to i'm
migration matters in the past. All
OF the immigration legislation of the
last ten years has been based on the
information obtained by the Immigra-
ton Commission of 1907. Fortunately
the two directing minds of that COM
mission are still in the Senate, Messrs.
Lodge and Dillingham;. The latter
was chairman of the commission and
will be chairman OF the immigration
Committee Of the Senate when that
body is once more Republican. In
the House also there are Republicans
of long service on the immigration
Committee ready to give the benefit
of their profound knowledge of the
subject to any legislation that may
be proposed in the future. 1t Is very
much to the interest of the country
as a whole and the labor market in
particular that immigration questions
be placed in the hands of the party
best equipped for their solution, and
ready to protect American labor from
unfair competition from abroad.

SUGAR SHOWED
our BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
TONS War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
BY Reducing Consumption People Of
the United States Averted
Famine at Home in Spite
of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption of sugar proves conclu-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctions of the Government.
Our normal consumption of sugar in
the four-month period beginning with.
July has been 100000 tons per month,
total of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only 325, 900 tons went into dis
tribution and in September only 279,-
600 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 1000 tons.
If the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions of the Food
Administration this country would
~have been in the throes of a sugar
famine before the end of August. Our
visible supplies were SO low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
it would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to a point where
sugar would no longer be mere lux
ury in the American diet.
+ Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth SO pre-
| dominantly .as this reduced consump.
ton of sugar. BY it we have been able
to bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were in sight.
Now the nation is in position SO
that if we choose we may return to
our normal home use of sugar, and
| Europe, with the release of ships to so
| far afield, can maintain its recent re.
| stricted rations. If, however, those
| nations are to increase their use OF
sugar very considerably it must be by
| our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump-
/ ton,

while they descended to the base
ment to turn off the water and
reached the hotel after Extra had
been compelled to engage in numer-
Gus personal encounters with some
OF Audubon's Jealous supporters.
In our opinion the acts of the
crowd certainly reflects poor credit
on the town of Audubon. Such acts
as allowing noisy mob to congre-
gate in a building and insult a visii-
ting team surely shows a poor stan
dard of craftsmanship. The animal
side OF man can win physical con-
test but it takes some mental equip
ment to be a good loser. We real
ize that the citizens of Audubon do
not uphold such actions and it is
hoped that they will make, at least,
an attempt to uproot this cancerous
growth on the reputation of their
town.
Audubon is to play a return game
on the Extra floor, January 10th.
Let everyone turn out and show
them at least the courtesy that one
would expect from people in civil
lied community. Even the Arab
will not permit harm to come.to his
guests. Let US at least go the Arab
one better and not leta suggestion
of harm arise. We have a reputa-
ton to uphold. Clean sportsman
ship is characteristic of all true
Americans and the loss of a game is
of less Importance than the loss of
our good name because all fistic en-
gagements cannot change the score
after the game ends.

AvERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR.
With. Military Demands Upon Ocean
Shipping Relieved. World Is Able


Since the advent Of the latest wheat
crop the only limitation upon Ameri-
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage of shipping. Between-July
and October 10 we shipped 65,9S0,305
bushels. 1t this rate should continue
until the end of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 49,, 100000 bushels of wheat and
Hour in terms of wheat.
The result of increased production
and conservation efforts in the United
States has been that with the cessa.
ton of hostilities we are able to re-
turn to normal wheat diet. Supplies
that have accumulated in Australia,
Argentine and other hitherto inacces-
sible markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail
able to have white loaf at the COM
mon table.
But last year the tale was different.
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep a
steady stream of wheat and flour smov-
ing across the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statisticians
figured that we had a bare surplus of
2O,O00000 bushels And yet Europe
was facing the probability of a bread
famine-and in Europe bread is by far
the most important article in the diet.
All of this surplus had left the
country early in the fall. BY the first
Of the year we had managed to ship a
little more than 100000 bushels by
practicing the utmost economy at
home-by wheatless days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller, cabled
| that only if we sent an additional 75,.
100000 bushels before July could he
! take the responsibility of assuring his
people that they would be fed
The response of the American PEG
pie was 100000 bushels safely deliv.
cred overseas between January / and
4 July 1. Out of harvest which gave
\ us only 20,0000O0 bushels surplus we
actually shipped l41,000,000 bushels.
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
1 that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people. are demonstrating that. will
an awakened war conscience, las
years figures will be bettered.

AMERICAN SPIRIT
RELIED ON TO WIN

In the light of succeeding events it
is interesting to recall the confidence
with which the United States Food
Administrator viewed the gloomy out
look in July of 1917, when this coun-
try had been in the war for less than
four months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer to Paris.

rope may be gloomy today" he de-

Here was territory almost twice the
size Of the German empire and with
considerably more than half it's pop
ulation, ripe for exploitation. 1t pro-
vided many of the resources which
Germany lacked--timber, hides and
wool from Finland and the Baltic prov.
inces and minerals and grain from the
districts farther south. 1t provided
millions of people industrially far
less advanced than those of Germany,
who would have to exchange their raw
products for German manufactured
goods on Germany's terms, who could
be denied political rights and forced
to do the heavy work while the Ger
mans took the cream of the profits.
Industrial Germany even under So
cialist government will not give up
such spoils unless it is compelled to.
Must Break German Grip.
1t is plain therefore that the United
States and her associates not only
should be most watchful that Germany
gives UP every shred of political con-
troll over these Russian lands, but that
she is not allowed to build up COM
mercial control which will in the end
amount to the same thing.
Whatever the territorial settlement
may be Russia and the states formed
from the territory of what was Russia
must be helped and guided for long
time after the peace treaty is signed.
This help and guidance cannot be
given by individual states without
arousing suspicion that self interest is
the principal motive. A league of ma
lions, composed of the civilized demo-
cratic states of the world, and backed
by their united military police power,
would, however, be in position to fur
nish such help and guidance without
arousing jealousies.
Unless the newly created states have
such protection the future may shea
that predatory Germany won the word
war even after suffering military de-
feat.

The Problem of Russia
The Problem of Russia
BY CLARENCE L. SPEED.

By CLARENCE L. SPEED
(Written for and Approved by the War
Committee OF the Union League Club of
Chicago)
Russia, that great enigma of the
war, likewise presents probably the
greatest of the peace problems.
Is the Russian experiment in self
government failure? Have the ao-
tons of the Russian people proven
that the principle of self-determina-
ton cannot safely be applied? Should
Russia be coerced or helped back into
position where she can again become
one of the greatest in the family of
nations, or should she be split up into
numerous independent states?
All of these are questions which,
ton at hand on which to base our con-
illusions, permit of wide differences of
opinion. But one thing is certain.
RUSSIA MUST NOT REMAIN UN-
DER THE CONTROL OF GERMANY
IN A POLITICAL, MILITARY OR
ECONOMIC SENSE.
Germans Strong in Russia.
The word "reman" is used advised
ly. The greater part of Russia was,
at the time the war came to its dra-
matte close, under the heel of Ger
many. Whole districts, such as Fin
land, the Baltic provinces, Russian
Poland and the Ukraine were under di-
rect German control. German and
Austrian prisoners of war were fight
ing against the allies and the Czecho-
SlovalSs in Siberia.
The armistice terms which the Ger
| mans We're forced to sign provided
that the treaty of Brest-Litoysk and
the supplementary treaties by which
Russia was despoiled should be abro-
gated. They likewise originally pro-
vided that all invaded territory on the.
east front as well as that on the west
| should be evacuated within ii days.
This was the first provision of the
armistice terms at which the Ger
man delegates protested. They asked
for more time and they got it. The
armistice as finally signed provided
that the east front territory should be
evacuation at some indefinite time to
be decided on later by the allies.
Want to Keep Control.
| The significance or this may be
merely that the disorder in Russia was
so great that the allies thought Ger
/ man control for time was better than
none. Again it is possible-even
highly probable-that the German del
egates hoped by this means to let Ger
man occupation drag Gu into the pc
| Rod of peace negotiations, thinking
| thereby to retain something of what
they have gained from Russia.
Knowing as we do that Germany
must depend upon outside territory
i for raw materials and markets for her
manufactured wares we may well look
4 with suspicion on delay in the evacua.
ton of the Russian provinces. If they
need policing the allies should pro-
coed to police them at the earliest pos
4 sible moment-and police them with
out any German assistance.
What the Germans Held.
In the summer of 1918 when the
4 German armies were laundering on
toward Paris and the kaiser and his
Austrian ally were counting on speedy
4 victory. the portions Of the former
Russian empire which had come under
direct Teutonic control, with their
area and populations, were:
