Anti-Immigration CamouHage.

Either the anti-immigration extrem-
lists in Congress are themselves con-
fused or they want to confuse others
on the two separate and distinct ques-
tions involved in their proposal for
blanket exclusion. Their cry is that
1t is necessary to build around the
country wall impenetfable by all
immigrants because tidal wav@ of
criminal, diseased and otherwise IN
desirable foreigners threaten to sweep
over our shores and submerge us.
Now, if this is what they really are
afraid of they know perfectly well
that the undesirables can be excluded
without at the same time depriving
ourselves of the hard day labor work
ers of whom we always are in need.
They know perfectly we'll that the
whole country will go with them, not
only to the extent of shutting out the
undeslrables for merely year or two
but to the last resort of shutting out
such people, no matter whence they
come, for million years.
But to shut out workers of good
character, exemplary habits and I'M
firing industry and to shut them out
although they are needed TO do the
hard labor, the fundamental labor,
which it is next to impossible to get
American workers to do, Is decidedly
a horse of another color The farm
ers who need this kind Of labor can
not be fooled by the Congress camou-
flage. The American people cannot
be fooled by It, Intelligent and sim
cere legislators for the nation cannot
lie fooled by it.
The United States Senate shows
comprehension of the real problem
and courage to stand for The tiu h
when it demands careful rerision
Of the precipitste and Ill considered
measure of the House members who
are egged on by special class which
doesn't want hard workers IN any
field of this country Mt any time to
set the pace.

Pianist Plays Two Novelties.

Charles Cooper, pianist, gave recital
yesterday in Aeolian Hall. He played
only pieces which are often heard. ex-
cept two numbers by the late Charles I.
Critics, 1.-The Fountain of the Acqua
Paola" and a scherzo, opus G. These
two pieces were the high lights OF the re-
cital. Mr.. Cooper played them well, as
he did also some music by Scarlatti. His
poetic limitations were shown In two
pieces by Brahms and, most OF all, In his
principal selection, Schumann's "Etudes
svmphoniques," where. furthermore.
memory slip almost brought disaster.
Noteworthy features of his general work
were his good tone technic and serious
ness.

The Bread Line.

Beyond the far flung ocean gates
1t waits with lifted hands
In ruined fields and drifted SHOWS
And barren desert sands,
The starving army of the poor
With all Its rags unfurled
From patriarch to puny babe,
The bread line of the world
Armenian, Russian, Serb and Pole
Chinese, and all the rest,
with faces turned expectantly
Toward the golden West.
So get to work, It's time our brows
With honest sweat were pearled,
We've got to feed ourselves besides

Book Value of Our Ships.

We recommend a pair Of shell

copy Of the annual report of Com
missioner CHAMBERLAIN of the Bureau
Of Navigation to anybody who wants
to find out how long the Government
owned fleet Of merchant ships, built at
inflated war costs, burdened with huge
fixed charges and dependent on public
funds, can live In world of hard
business facts and keen competition.
From this report It will be gathered
that the American merchant fleet on
June 80 last totalled 16,324,024 gross
tons. This includes numerous lake
and river craft and an aggregate Of
10,61s,ssJ tons of seagoing steamers
Of more than 1000 tons which are
the backbone and principal earning
assets of the whole feet. OF this
seagoing tonnage the Shipping Board
owns about 100000 tons. repre-
senting an investment by the Gov
eminent Of 3,OO0,OOo,0OO, which was
the cost of construction
The Commissioner points out that
fixed charges in connection with this
$4,000, 100000 expenditure will be
s375, 100000 year ia interest, sinking
fund and depreciation. Such a bur
dem nc contends, is far and above the
earning power Of the Government
ships, and therefore the original cost
Of the ships should be partltioned, the
actual hook value Of the fleet arrived
Mt, ana the balance charged off as a
war loss.
a little cursory figuring on the book
value of present day shipping proves
not only that the Commissioner Is
right IN saying the Government ships
could not earn this S375,000,O0O In
fixed charges but also that If the
earnings Of the whole ocean going
fleet were devoted to that purpose
and private operators and owners
were to forfeit all their profits the
fund still would be too small.
The total clearlngs of American
ships in the fiscal year 1920 were
rbout 100000 net tons and entries
Of American ships about the same.
Converting this into lightweight ton
mage and allowing for passenger space
means that our ocean fleet carried
about 120,000,0O0 tons Of cargo dur
ing the year, one net ton figured to
two tons cargo entered and cleared.
Roughly the cost Of operating Amer
lean ships runs about S12 a trip ton
OF cargo. At the present time the
average Of freight rates to all ports il
somewhere in the nelghborhood of SD
a ton Of cargo which leaves n profit
over operating costs of 81 ton. This
figures S240.O0O,OO0 on that 100000
600 tons OF cargo carried by our sea
going fleet. This S24O.00OO0O is s135.
100000 short of the S875000,000
required to amortize the Government;
ship debt alone.
1t is necessary, therefore, to write
down this debt TO make the net profit
Of the Government ships cover fixed
charges. On the basis of the foregoing
figures there Is way to gather an
idea of what should he done. If the
10.GO0.OO0 ton fleet all together earns
$4,000. 900, the share Of the Govern.
ment's 100000 tons would be about
four-hfths or S192,000000. This net
profit of s192. 100000 is available to
