Certain measures are now before
the American Congress which have
as their object the checking of for

States. One measure would stop
immigration entirely for the next
two years, or would allow immi-
grants during this term of two
years only temporary residence OF
not more than six months. We are
told that this bill, introduced by
Representative Johnson of the state
Of Washington, is aimed especially
at the Japanese. Another, the Dill

already domiciled in this country.

in this country, will be real
calamity to Europe's wretched mil
lions, and to none more so than to
the East European Jewries. That
the condition of the Jews in all the
Slavic and adjacent lands is more
pitiable than that of any other ele-
ment of the poulation Of those
regions has been reported by trust
worthy investigators time and
again. Economically they have
been utterly ruined, and politically
their status, in spite of guarantees
of treaties, is of doubtful security.
The carrying out of the spirit and
the letter of those guarantees will
depend largely upon the good or i'll
will of the majority of the popula-
ton, the element in power. And
little good will toward the Jews can
be expected from the Poles, and
other slavs, the Roumanians, the
Greeks, and should the pendulum
swing to the extreme of political
reaction, even in Austria, Hungary
and Germany.
The salvation of those Jewries
lies once more in emf gration. Pal
estine, under the most favorable
conditions, will for a time be able to
absorb only small portion of
them. And if the United States is
. to put up its bars, then the stream
of Jewish migration must be divert
ed to Asia and Africa, especially
those parts where England, France,
Italy, and the United States will
have their manufactures, and exer-
else control over the natives. The
entire North-African coast, Syria
and Mesopotamia, and the sea-
ports of India, China and Japan
should furnish new Ravens of ref
