WASHINGTON ALIENIsT ASKS
 WHO WOULD BE EXECUTIONEF

A prominent Washington aiienlSt ana psychiatrix, Dr. D. Percy Hickling, goes one step farther that Dr. Franklin $. Wilcox regarding the advisability of put ting to death those hopelessly insane per sons confined in insane asy1ums. He extends it to idiots and imbeciles, but asks who would want to be the one to carry out such a sentence.
 Dr. Hickling gives it as his opinion that it would be blessing to the com munity should the hopelessly insane, the idiots and the imbeciles die; but who would be the execution.r? I wouldn't"
 'The laws says that no man is permit ted to take a human life-no right to take what he cannot give. But. it ap- pears it would be a great relief not only to the community but the families of per sons suffering from an incurable disease or hopeless insanity that they should die
 The cases in many institutions are hopeless and pitiful. but no man has a legal right to condemn another to death except as fixed by statute. The moral right is debatable question.
 The problem of whether the hopelessly insane should be executed will Be knot ty one for years to come"
 The Catholic Transcript enters into the discussion in its current issue with the following editorial under the title of 'fRa- ther Advanced"
 "The suggestion calling for the killing off of the >hopelessiy insane does not ap- peal to the saner part of the people oi this commonwealth. They are not ye prepared for the slaughter.

According to the belief expressed by necticut College, in a lecture delivered before an audience of 150 men and wo- men in the Y. M. H. A. hail. Main street. Sunday evening, there is little cause for alarm in the immigration problem. Mrs. Vessel told her audience that the i'm migration problem is not only a national problem but is an international problem. The lecturer, who is of Hebrew parent age, took occasion to score Ford's attack on the Jews, calling such action unWor- thy of Christian
 The lecture was held under the aus pices of the Young Mems, Hebrew asso- citation, and was one of a series of, ice. | lures given from time to time. ]. l.. Schwartz acted as chairman of the meet ing and introduced Mrs. Vessel who chose the immigration problem and the Jewish immigrant as the subject of her i lecture. She has had considerable ex- | perience in immigration work as she has l at various times been engaged in this line of activity among a dozen or more | racial groups.
 The problem of immigration is as old as history, Mrs. Vessel said. Ever 1 since man has existed on the earth people have been migrating. When the ques- tion, can we assimilate the immigrants, is asked, we might answer it by saying that the white race in Europe today is an as- similation of peoples who have migrated l from their own to other countries.
 The immigration problem in this coun- | try is as old as the country itself. The Jews have at all times contributed 10 the upbuilding of this country. With ref
 erence to immigrants in general, Mrs
 Vessel said the question, why do they come is often asked. They come for much the same reason as the reason
 bringing the Pilgrims here in 1920. A
 spirit of adventure Is chiefly responsible and they also come for economic reasons and for religious freedom.

LITTLE TO FEAR FROM IMMIGRATION

If people had mot immigrated to this country the probable result would have been development in the life al z customs of their countries along An l1.SAn lines. Those who were dissatisfied with condi- tions in their countries would have set about fighting them. Disaster in any foreign country is generally followed by immigration to this country. We have always had anti-immigrstionists
 Mrs. Wessell then went on to quote statistics showing the remarka Ile growth of immigration to this coun, ry in the past hundred years. The first immigra- tion laws date back to about 1920. In that year immigration numbered but a few thousands. In 1348 it numbered 4e,- oOO. During the Civil war there was a decrease but during 1880 the total was S00,00 Up to 1880 immigration was largely from the northwestern countries of Europe, but after that immigration shifte1 to the southeastern countries of Europe. In 1907 Immigration numbered a million and a quarter but in -910 1t went back to S00,000 It is around, the million mark today. During the last 100 years 23,000,000 immigrants came to our shores When the war, broke out our ] foreign born population numb cred about | 16, ,900, ,000 and there was another 16,000,- 1 900 of American. born of foreign parents. We have people in this country from 45 different countries. Germany leads the
 world in immigration to this country
 Mrs. Vessel said that she doesn't be- i long to that class of reople who view the immigration problem with alarm.
 i At the close of her lecture Mrs. tWes- | seI took occasion to score Henry Ford l for his attack on the Jews. She quoted from prominent Christian writers who dc not sympathize with MT. Ford's views Mrs Vessel was given rising vote oi tthanks for her lecture. >-.--
