American Legion and immigration

American Legion and immigration
TO those who have accomplished.
tasks in abundance shall be given,
and those who came back from
Americanizing the Great War are no
exception. They returned with the
conviction that the home land is su-
perior and should be kept so; imme-
diately need is found of their con-
viction and enthusiasm in impressing
this truth on the immigrants. 1t is
most gratifying that the American
Legion recognizes the need and is en-
deavoring to meet it.
The Legion organization may be
found adequate to undertake much Of
the work suggested rather than ac-
complished by numerous other or
CARNATIONS. The membership Of the
Legion comprises Americanized racial
brothers of almost every nationality
seeking admission to this country,

Corners and have the sympathetic I'M
Outstanding necessary to the making
of right impressions on their minds.
II. as is said. many of the new immi-
grants are seeking by coming here to
evade the work and responsibilities
conditions demand in the places
whence they come, the public could
secure evidence of the conditions and
better comprehension Of the difYicul-
ties to be met
The most alarming feature of inn
migration is the tendency for the i'm
migrants to herd in the conxested
centers, to the detriment not only Of
themselves. but Of the country.
Through the ratification OF the Le-
gion organization with representa-.
tives in all parts of the country this
ought to be remedied in some degree.
But above all else we may be as
sured that the animating purpose OF
the organized efforts will be Amen-
can and under the guidance Of those
who have demonstrated their willing
ness to serve for the welfare Of the
country. :.

the 1920 campaign are already being
made. The purchase of the seals. says
the Maine Department Of Health, en-
tails slight expense. no more than

the price of seal goes towards pur-

the Italian government should continue
10 supply over s1.0OO. co., 900 annually for
bread when the people do not grudge
$500. 100000 a year for the luxury of
wine:
The Professor advocates that the
Italians should eat less bread and pay
what it costs and that they should
drink less wine and export more of it
so that the profit on wine would help
to pay for importation of bread
The amount of land given over 10
wheat production in Italy greatly dc
creased last year. The disastrous re-
suit is that the imports are increasing
daily.

Skunk Breeding
Suggested, to Stabil-
ize the Fur Market

Washington, Nov. S-Breeding of
skunks as a means of stabilizing the
depressed fur market is the latest
suggestion Of the Department of Agri-
culture.
Despite all the harsh things that have
been said about this lowly animal. the
department describes him as THE best
wild animal friend the farmer has"
The skunk the announcement says, can
be used for destroying mice, grassropy
pers. crickets, and white grubs. at the
same time furnishing the farmer from
$50 to 800 worth of fur a year.
All that is required of the farmer,
the circular says. is that he respect
the animals dens. keep his poultry in
skunkproof yards. kill an old horse for
them every fall and be tactfui when

Tn. League and War Pr.p.,.d d,

49, SSe es'o "AT VV0pAToo0eSo
One of the most attractive features
of the League Covenant was that Of
limitation Of ornaments, opportunity
for burdened peoples to escape from
their burden, opportunity to limit the
tools lying at hand for making war.
That tempting phase is fast fading
out Of the popular conception. When
Poland. assailed by the enemy Of civ
lization was left to do or die, was re-
fused all assistance from the League.
the inevitable conclusion became:
each for himself when it comes to
the pinch"
In arriving at this conclusion
Premier Hughes of Australia sup
ports his position vigorously in a re-
cent address, before the Australian
House of Representatives.

said, lis obviously a world In which
no nation can allow its war insur-

look at the league OF nations. The
league represents a noble idea and it's
acceptance by the greater part of the
civilized world is the only hope of en-
during peace. On its ultimate sue
cess depends the future Of civiliza-
ton. But the league is yet in its in
fancy. and it is utopian to expect
from the league In its present stage

would render unnecessary any pre-
cautions for our own defence"

country for the whites On this point
he is emphatic. as he was at Paris
when the League was being formed.
He sees that to the north of Australia
and nearer than any country of
white people there are seven hundred
and fifty million people of other color,
more than half the population of the
globe. and he rightly concludes that
Australia has an onerous obligation
If she would preserve herself for
white control.
War cannot be banished from the
world by a stroke of the pen. The
success Of the league depends on the
growth Of the peace spirit. We should
be living in a paradise Of fools IL we
did not recognize that at present the
will to war exists as keenly in the
minds Of man as ever it did"
All this in no way explains how
the peace spirit may, grow. and the
will to war be weakened. Seeing q
menace in the question OF color DOM

cerned at present in cultivating sur

"He Never Understood"
Detroit Free Press, Rep

tDetrOlt free PreSS, Rep.D
Mr.. Tumulty says Woodrow Wilson
has not been generally understood.
Possibly not. But this is not the real
tragedy Of his Administration. Vic
toriano Huerta indicated the actual
trouble; he placed his finger on tine
real sore spot. For when the Aztec
lay dying he said. II forgive all who
have injured me-most fully the Presi-
dent of the United States-for he new
ef understood"
Really the trouble from the beginning
has been Woodrow Wilson's inability
or failure to understand. If he had
understood. the rest would rave been
easy. A man of his intellectual equip
ment would then have beca able to
make himself understood.
But as his Sorbonne speech shows
Mr.. Wilson has looked at life largely
from the scholastic. pedasogic view
pSnt, which is in nowise tie viewpoint
of the practical world. .And his nat
urally imperious. autocratic disposition
has completed the disaster. He never
has been able to arrive at a true COM
prehension of the people of America:
nor was he able to obtain real
glimpse of the heart Of the people Of
Europe. So he has failed both as an
American President and as a world
leader.
But Huerta not only summed up the
situation shrewdly. He also summed it
up charitably. In view of all that Mex
leo. in view Of all that the United
States, in view of all that Europe has
suffered from Woodrow Wilson. the
kindliest possible verdict on his career
and the most forgiving one. is a YER
dict which admits that lack of COM
prehension has been responsible for
many of his more hideous plumbers

Among those who were pleased by
the election of Senator Harding are
counted England, France, Italy, Will
liam Jennings Bryan land the United
States. Will they all stay pleased for
four years? Probably not, in the
same degree. We are not trying to be
gloomy amid the general joyfulness,
but human nature isn't built that
way. There will be ups and downs
as long as people are human and con-
tinue tojnhabit this old globe.

Italian People Buy
Wine While Govern
ment Buys Bread

Rome. Oct. 19-(By Associated Press)
Professor Ugo Ancona, formerly I'm
der Secretary of Transportation in the
Italian cabinet. has just made public
a statement that while the Italian gov
eminent has spent more than $1,000
100000 year for bread for the people,
the Italian workers have spent $500. :
100000 year on wine alone
The governments expenditure for
bread has resulted from its undertake
ing to pay the difference between the
cost of producing wheat and the price
of bread. In consequence of this the
italian workers have been able to buy
bread at the rate of one Ira for each
kilogram of 40 pounds.
Professor Ancona says that while the
