did not like anything he tossed it aside
with as little thought as he had shown

We had hired a general housework

me by saying:

A certain feeling of well being was
engendered by such remarks--a feel
ing that no matter how much I spent,
it was all right, or in some way would
be all right. 1t was continual dis
counting of the future, with no thought
that that future might bring demands
for its own, demands hard to meet.

AN IMMIGRATION LOOPHOLE.

The bill pending in congress to restrict immigration
during the reconstruction period provides that the excu
sion clause shall not apply to immigrants fleeing from
religious persecution" According to this provision it
does not matter whether such persecution evidenced
by overt acts by laws or government regulations that
discriminate against the alien the to which he
belongs, because of his religious faith"
Specifically this looks all right, and in harmony
with American ideals Closer inspection arouses sus
picon voiced by the New York World as follows.
IF this clause is to remain in the proposed act it's
author might appropriately have said that was in
tended to keep out everybody except revoutonsts and
Bolsheviss There is hardly person in all the world sub
ect to the other of those cassfcatons who can
not prove that he the victim of overt acts Of pesecu
ton because of his religious faith"
It is not likely that the American public wants to
discriminate against the Russian Jews to whom America
has long been refuge from religious persecution 1t
is well known however, that many of the most dangerous
agtators in America in recent years slipped in unobserv
ed among the honest and we-meaning refugees for
whom the welcome intended. Trotsky is good ex-
ample.
1t may be wiser, if immigration is to be prohibited
for two three or four years. to make it absolute there
by playing safe and also causing hard feelings by in
vidious discrimination.
