Selective immigration

sage Of an immigration bill at this
session. So the measure reported
by the Senate immigration Com
mittee may be taken as that body's
guess at the sort Of legislation which
should be passed by the next Con-
gress, which will have time to deal
more thoroughly with the restriction
problem.
The committees bill Is in sub
stance the Dillingham; bill. 1t aims
at selection as we'll as restriction.
Although It's terms are general it's
effect will be to lessen the inflow
from the European countries which
for the last twenty years have been
furnishing the lions share Of immi-
grants. 1t provides that the num-
her of aliens of any nationality who
may be admitted to the United
States in any fiscal year shall be
limited to small percentage 6
in the Dillingham; draftl of the
number Of persons of such nation
ality resident in the United States.
Nationality is an awkward word.
Aliens who come here lose their ma
tionality by naturalization. But for
the purposes Of this measure once
an Italian or a Swede means always
an Italian or a Swede. The resi-
dent alien groups on which percent
ages are to be computed will COM
prise all aliens who came here from
the territory of some European
political unit, whether they are in
fact any longer resident aliens or
not.
This Interpretation is borne out
Ey the 1910 census figures submitted
in connection with the committees
report. They are the figures of the
foreign-born population of that year.
To show clearly the effect of the
percentage test Europe may be di-
vided into two spheres-northwest-
ern Europe and the rest of the Con-
tinent. immigration from north
western Europe has fallen off since
1900, while immigration from the
rest of Europe has rapidly increased.
But in 1910 our foreign born popu-
lation from the first sphere out
numbered our foreign-born popula-
ton from the second sphere. The
average annual immigration from
northwestern European countries
between 1910 and 1914 was 1872 $50.
But 5 per cent annual allowance
would have yielded $4,000. On the
contrary. the S per cent quota for
the countries of southern. central
and eastern Europe would have been
255.416. whereas the average an
nual immigration was 1852.
The committees bill would thus
force new distribution in immi-
grafton. 1t would restrict the inflow
from those countries which furnish
an element difficult to Americanize
and stimulate the inflow from coun-
tries which yield much more as
similable material.
This is the constructive feature
of the Dillingham; scheme. 1t is
superior in that respect to mere ex-
clusion. It also has the merit of
approaching the problem from the
social and political as we'll as the
merely economic point of view.

EAILuRE

Fivescore years the birds have flown
Back from March to May,
And this land has never known
A man who made his way.
Flocks have passed of faces here
Jovial and dour,
And never a single one Of them
Became a man of power.
Year on year these slopes were
ploughed
By man and boy, and still
Hardly have they yielded more
Than the burying bill.
Fivescore years they've risen green
Almost from the snow;
Now they're beautiful and clean .
Failure made them so.

ITO, destroyed 20 and were building 60
when the armistice was signed.
There were four types: 1. The me-
dunn size boat, which had fairly good
cruising radius and which did most of
the work. 2. The coastal boat, about
half as large, but which made short
cruises. 3. The coastal mine-layer,
which also carried guns and torpedoes
and made fairly long cruises. 4. The
large overseas type, of several designs.
Some of these boats carried two six
inch guns, could stay at sea four
months and cruise 25.ooo miles. There
were also large mine-layers carrying
forty-six mines, with cruising radius
of 1900 miles.

Captain Hart's Data


When Admiral Sims went to England
In April, 1917, he immediately reported
that the German U-hoats were winning
the war. In this he was backed by the
late Ambassador Page and by Admiral
Jellicoe, who admitted that England
could not so on unless the submarine
was conquered. The Grand Fleet was
intact. German cruisers had been
driven from the sea. The German
feet was bottled up. The navies of
France, Italy and Japan were helping
the Grand Fleet. About 1000 anti
submarine craft were hard at work
chasing submarines. And yet England
was facing starvation Let these facts
penetrate our brains in the beginning
Of this review.
Captain Hart estimates that not
more than 10000 officers and men of
the German navy were employed
Throughout the war in their submarine
feet. AS rule, not more than thirty
German submarines, manned by about
l.5O0 men, were at sea at any one time.
And let US remember that against
these 10000 Germans the personnel of
the navies of Great Britain, France,
Italy, Japan and the United States,
numbering, all told, more than 1000 600
men, were arrayed! Furthermore,
against the thirty U-boats and 1900
Germans, 4,000 small craft were busily
searching the sea every hour of the
day.
Suppose Won Tirpitz and the Kaiser
had taken the advice of the submarine
captains after the cruisers Aboukir,
Hague and Cressy had all been sunk by
the u-2s in a few minutes and concen-
trated all energy upon the building of
submarines, what would have been the
result? The Germans had only forty
| submarines when the war began.
Much effort was wasted on their surface
fleet. 1t has been stated by distin-
guished authority that a determined
u-boat warfare from the very begin
ning would have starved England be-
| fore the United States entered the war,
During the war the Germans built
43o submarines, lost ls0, surrendered
New-York tribune., 1921-02-11
Coast and Transport attacks

Five cruising submarines visited the
United States coast in 1918 and sank
fifty vessels with guns and torpedoes.
The armored cruiser San Diego was
sunk by mine and the battleship
Minnesota was mined, but got into port.
This was a heavy toll for five boats
under the circumstances.
The fact that we sent 100000 men
to France has been cited to prove that
the submarine is not very dangerous.
This is fallacy. Our men ESCAPED
SIMPLY because our transports going
east were not attacked as rule. Five
returning transports were attacked be-
cause they were not strongly protected.
It is known now that U-boat CAPTAINS
were rewarded and be-medaled on the
basis Of the tonnage they sent to the
bottom. 1t was their mission to starve
England. This was the one object of
unrestricted warfare. They made everv
torpedo and every shot count to that
end. They only attacked men-of-war
when they were cornered, or under
favorable conditions. They had short
range torpedoes. To fight men-of-war
would have been foolish. 1t would
have expended their ammunition USE
lessly and defeated the main purpose
to starve England.
Had the situation been different,
and had they used long range tor
pedoes, can anybody doubt that they
would have attacked our big conveys
at long range with frightful effect ?
VIII any naval officer in his right
mind deny this? And had they done
so, what would have been the effect
upon The people of the United States
after few transports. carrying thou
sands Of men, had been sunk?
1t may be asserted that large armies
will never again be transported over
seas in helpless transports against a
nation that has submarines and an air
force. 1t will be as impossible as it
would be inhuman. The submarine
and the air force discourage war over
seas as far as armies are concerned.
In this respect they are elements Of
peace. To this extent they discourage
war.

German Submarines Defeated

True, the German submarines were
defeated. Let US consider why they
were defeated:
l.. Geographically, Germany was
fenced in by England and France.
England lay across Germany's front
door," as British admiral well says.
2. The U-boats had but two narrow
exits to reach the Atlantic.
8. The navies of Great Britain.
France, Italy, Japan and the United
states--all the great maritime nations
OF the world-were concentrated against
the German u-boats in 19l7-Is.
D. The u-boats, in restricted areas,
were pursued by 1000 small craft.
1t is safe to say that the navy of no
nation ever fought, or will again fight.

The world at large has fairly in
telligent idea of the part played by
the German submarines in the World
War; but just at present it would ap-
pear that the probable Importance Of
the submarine in future wars is being
in some measure ignored. A great
many new facts have been brought to
light in recent reports and publica-
tions, especially in lecture delivered
at the Naval War College by Captain
7. c. Hart, U. S. NJ, who has given
this subject careful study.
From these sources, therefore, it is
proposed to add the new data in order
that the people, the Congress and even
some of our naval officers may the
more fully realize the Importance Of
the submarine as affecting our naval
policy at this critical time.
Naval officers, especially, can i'll
afford to minimize the usefulness of
new weapons and to advise Congress
concerning the expenditure of billions
of dollars without giving to the sub
jects the most painstaking study and
the most broadminded consideration.
Their influence will be gone and they
will lose the confidence of the people
if, at time when naval construction
Is in state Of fux, they lead this coun-
try into policy which fails to give
US modern fighting navy--a navy
fully prepared to meet an enemy on
the surface, above the surface and be-
meath the surface of the sea; in short,
a Three-Plane NAVY.

A speciality is made of Buick parts.
and 1T is rare instance when a
Buick owner is unable to get lust
what he needs for his car from this
house. By featuring the full line
there is never any waiting for or
ders to be filled, or shipments re-
ceived; they are always in stock
when customer wants them. As
evidence of this, the company has
never had Buick car in the garage
one hour waiting on parts, very
rare exception, and which speaks in
the highest terms of the efficiency Of
the house. In short this is n Buick
service station. The repair depart

In addition to featuring Ruicl

former case there is never any wait

The Buick needs no introduction to
the citizens of this section, for there
is scarcely a man or woman who is
not familiar with this wonderful ca.
