SCANDAL BREWING
Fayoritism to Alien Reds And I.W.W.
Ordered DepOrted, BY High
Officials Charged.

Washington, April S.-Disclosures
of a sensational character are con-
tanned in preliminary reports of rep
resentatives of the House of Immigra-
ton Committee engaged in examining
the records and evidence in cases OF
a number of alien l. w. WIS recently
ordered deported and subsequently
released. It was learned from mem
hers of the committee today.
BY the time the investigation is
completed, some Of the committee
men believe a full-fledged scandal in
volying high officials will have been
developed.
Members of the committee would
not go further into details than 10
assert that case after case had been
found in which special boards OF in
ouiry had recommended aliens FOR de-
nortation and that Commissioner
General of immigration Caminetti
had issued the necessary warrant pu'
officials higher up had cancelled the
deportation warrants.
Added importance is given TO the
investigation because of the fact that
il is not being conducted along parti'
san lines. Democrats on the commit
tee are said to be as deeply inter
ested as the Republicans in bringing
ont the true situation. The ground
ON which the inquiry is being pressed
Is alleged favortism by someone IL
high authority to aliens who have
been arrested on deportation charges
and then released on their own recog
nizance.

ASK open DOOR"
FOR FARM LABOR
Conference To Urge Admis-
sion Of European
Workmen.

New York, April 3.-To afford re-
lief to the farms hard hit by the
movement of farm labor to the cities
a national conference, to be held in
New York City, April z, will vote up
on a proposal to amend the literacy
test in order to admit European ag-
ricultural workers for work on the
farms.
The findings will be Incorporated
in a testimonial to Congress.
The conference will be attended by
representatives of industry, agricul-
ture. finance, labor and various racial
groups.
The meeting will be held under the
auspices of the Inter-Racial Council
of which Gen. Coleman du Pont Is
chairman.
A special committee has prepared
a QUESTIONABLE on immigration topics
which has been submitted to list Of
5000 people in the United States. The
suggestions included in the replies
will be taken up fully at the con-
ference.
The meeting will endeavor to out
line a plan of selective immigration
which, while barring dangerous ultra
radicals and other undesirables, Will
Mace no barriers in the way of de-
sirable immigrants.
The views Of leading agriculturists
on the kind of selective immigration
that will best serve the interests of
agriculture will be given especial EN-
phasis. Labor representatives, in
dustrial managers and bankers also
will be asked to contribute to the
discussion.
The industries of the country have
been complaining that the dwindling
of immigration during the war has
left this country short 100000 i'm
migrant workmen, not to mention
more than 100000 who are reported
to have left the country and more
than 100000 who are preparing to
leave when the passport regulations
are withdrawn.
1t is the reflex of this condition
that is being felt by American agri-
culture, the industrial leaders say.

SHORTAGE OF MINISTER'S
REDUCES CHURCH SERN ICE

s. Louis, April Sowing to a
serious shortage of ministers, believ-
ed due largely to the high cost Of
living and larger salaries obtainable
in other professions, many churches
in Missouri have been forced to re-
duce service to once or twice month.
According to the latest annual of the
Missouri Baptists, just issued, there
are 1853 Baptist churches in the
state, with 1850 ministers and lsS,-
46s members. The annual calling
attention to the shortage of minis
tiers, says there are 231 churches In
the state with preaching every Sun
day, 392 with sermons two Sundays e
month, and 937 with preaching only
once a month.

DRY" WORLD, PLAN
Prohibition Federation Busy On Dry
Universe Scheme

New York, April ga new or
ganization is forming to fight for
worldwide prohibition.
1t is called the World Prohibition
Federation.
New strength for the "dry" cause
is seen in the new organizations CO
operative understanding with the
Catholic Priests Prohibition League.
DR.. Charles Scanlon, Pittsburg, is
president of the American section of
the federation, international head
quarters of which are in London.
This is regarded as evidence of new
team work in the dry" movement,
because the Anti-Saloon League has
never had Catholic affiliation.
The Anti-Sallon League is net con-
nected with the federation. William
H. Anderson, New York state super
intendent of the league, doesn't think
very much of the federation. He says
it is ''largely paper organization
and controlled by the radical ele-
ment."
A dozen "dry" organizations either
have been absorbed by the new fed
Grafton or are affiliated with it. Con-
troll has been obtained of three tenn
perance publications, the National
Advocate, Youths Temperance Ban
ner and the Water Lily.

SEES SAFETY IN
BALKAN ALLIANCE
Rumanian Leader Wants U. $. To
Take Important Part In Middle
East Work.

Bucharest, April 2,-Safety for Eu-
rope lies in an alliance between Ru-
mania, Poland, Czechoslovakia and
Greece, is the opinion of Take Jones'
ca, who as an editor, financier and
politician, has played a prominent
role in the national life of Rumania
for a quarter of a century. He ex-
pressed the hope of seeing such an
alliance realized with America TAX
ing an important part in the work
of Balkan countries.
"Unless America shows interest in
Balkan commerce" he said, lit is
possible we all will again fall into the
hands of Germany, if only because
of the exchange situation. Rumania
is determined to operate matters for
herself, but may not be able to do so.
l am very sorry America has refused
to occupy Constantinople, and l am
sure in a few years the people Of the
United States will realize their mis-
take in not doing this service to civil
lization and possibly to their own
commerce.
Neither France nor England nor
Italy can control the Middle East. 1t
is too big a task, but America, bein6
disinterested politically, could do it..
As America will not take mandate,
further solution must be found. ]
advocate sending Rumanian troops
to help the Allies in the present
cheme of neutralizing Constantinople
and the Dardanelles, as we have a
great interest in keeping open thet
outlet to the sea. 1t must not be
forgotten if the straits are left in the
hands of a weak Power New Russia
will push for Constantinople. For
the present Russia is in a state of an
archy, so the actual situation, with
the rest of Europe having neither
war nor peace nor diplomatic rela-
tons, is best. That does not mean
if the Soviets offer real peace and not
an armistice for the purpose OF
spreadying propaganda we should not
