Paris, France--The peace treaty
will leave America free to solve her
own immigration problems.
There is no prospect that the desire
of Japan and some other nations for
a declaration that would curb Amer
icas right to restrict immigration will
be realized.
The American labor delegation
stands firm against including in the
labor clauses of the treaty any re-
striction of the right Of individual
nations to make their own immigra'
ton rules.
TO lift all bars would probably re-
suit, the labor delegates believe. IN
a rush of labor to America which
would not only menace organized Ia
nor in some cases but also lead TO
endless labor troubles, unemployment
and unrest.
Samuel Gompers. head OF the A..
+. Of L.. and chairman Of the interna
tional labor commission OF the peace
congress, puts it this way
immigration Is
Problem Of Nations
"lmmigration, we in America re-
gard as our own prODlem-One "hlch
we will have TO solve for ourselves
In no nation is there greater SYM
patty for other peoples. We love
our neighbors But we cannot ar
ford to disregard the law Of selt-pres-
ervatiOn."
If it will s0othc anybOl'' WI feared
Americas sOver gnty was going TO
he thrown awa., there is no more
tendency among the American dele
gates generally to surrender the right
TO restrict immigration, than there is
among the American labor delegates.
Japan, populous and crowded,
would naturally like a change. She
may urge that an immigration clause
be inserted in the League of Nations
covenant when it comes up for public
discussion in a plenary session. Prob
ably she will. 1t is generally known
that she tried to get such a clause
when the covenant was before COM
mittee. And she has minated that
she will press this desire again.

The American labor delegation is
also insisting that the sailors all
over the world be set free. America
is the only country whose laws make
The sailor a free man. The GOmperS
party is standing firm for an inter-
national arrangement that will give
all sailors of all countries the right
TO leave their vessles when they are
in safe harbOr.

Gompers. We intend 10 end this

The time may come. in future years
when the League OF Nations gets in
to full operation, when immigration
can safely be considered internation-
ally: when the radical problems it
presents will be less difficult.
For the present it will remain a
national matter.
As a matter OF fact the A. r. OF
l.. is on record in favor Of the pro-
hibition OF immigration for two years
after peace has been declared. and
for a policy thereafter based on the
ability of the nation TO assimilate and
AmericaniZe the newcomers, with the
restriction that immigration be stop

which the Beach Publicity associa ton
