The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1919-12-06

Just why he was placed in position where he could impart
to tho new immigrant on arrival his own distorted notions of
what America means, possibly some one in Washington may be
able to tell, but the rest of us could only wonder.
A few months ago and while he was sill in position to say
officially who might and who might not be admitted to, America
and while our soldiers who had gone to France to make the
world safe for democracy" were returning, the Reds We're
holding public meetings in New York. They were also conduct
ing counter parades as our boys in khaki marched through
the streets of The American metropolis under the folds OF Old
Glory. And among those who were assisting in these meetings
and introducing the speakers, was Frederic q. Howe, com
missioner of immigration. And while our boys in khaki under
he Stars and Stripes were being insulted by these counter
parades under a flag of red, our commissioner of immigration
WAS conspicuous among those who were advancing this flag.
And all this time the rest of us who were not on the pay
roll of the immigration service or otherwise officially con-
nected with the department of labor, were trying to devise
means for Understanding" the immigrant.

Finally some one in the senate-as the Tribune recalls it
was Senator King of Utah-called public attention to this, and
addressed a few questions to the White House or the depart
ment of labor. And later the other branch of congress ordered
a committee to New York to investigate, And now the investi-
cation is on and il didn't come any Too soon.

But in the meantime Mr.. Howe has been, for reasons best
known in Washington. separated from the service. And on
Wednesday of this week Mr.. Uhl, the acting commissioner
admitted to the congressional committee that privileges were
granted during the regime of Commissioners Howe which, if
unchecked, might have led to the establishment of a forum of
bolshevism' on the island, > meaning Ellis island, which is occu-
pied solely by the immigrant station.
And this is how we were "Hmericanizing" the immigrant.

And it was one of Frederic Howes school, Lincoln SteTens
later attached to the American peace commission, who procured
for Trotzky the passports that took him to Russia to pull that
country. with its millions of troops, out of the war with Ger
many just as we We're getting into it. These passports, granted
over the protest of England, cost Russia more lives than the
war cost her and all the allies. And the end is not yet.
How many lives did they cost America?
And another of this choice brand of "parlor coal diggers'
has been brought to light this week by the Lusk committee of
the New York legislature. This is Dudley Field Malone. Mr.
Malone was from 1913 until a year or so ago, collector of the
port in New York. Just why he got out we are not informed.
but he was one of the most eloquent of those who came west
to tell us that we should rc-elect somebody because he kept us
out of war. He told us this at Reno but didn't say which war.
Well. Mr.. Ludwig C. A. R. Martens, who calls himself The am
bassador of the soviet government of Russia, admitted that he
action 1t also appears that Mr.. Malone has been otherwise
active in behalf of Soviet Russia.
And yet I'VE wonder how the leaders and the promoters of
the Red propaganda can secure a following.
Who gave them responsibility?
Having sown the wind why should've marvel at the
Having appointed and retained a bolshevik opposed to his
own government to greet the immigrant at the portals of
America why should we wonder if the immigrant opposes our
governments?
We are talking much of deporing the alien eneGly-lets
