Mr.. Larson pointed out the evils to
this country in unlimited immigration
of foreigners especially from South
ern Europe. He said that in a recent
government investigation it was
FOUND that large number of immi-
grants from Spain had landed here.
They are very undesirable class,
and it is understood that their own
country had banished them. He said
that unbridles immigration would
nave a very bad effect on labor, for
the immigrant from Europe today is
OF different type than several years
ago. This has become especially
true since the world war.

the question, Robert CarIstrom, who

 There is no intention here to suS- gest that perfect understanding with England. spiritual and practi- cal, would not be mutually beneficial. Some publicity organs in the United States have been justly criticised for trying to stir up hatred against Great Britain. But when England comes out plainly, as reports tell us she has done. and admits the diver gence Of opinion between France and England, onetis compelled to con sider the fact that any sort of under standing between English speaking peoples alone would fall far short oc the grea; idea embodied in the League of Nations.
 France declares tha: Germany must disarm and pay. We will mako Ger many pay" she says. Make Ger many pay" says England, but not in such way that we all will suffer do not try to make her pay more than she can stand"
 An can understand Frances feel ing against Gcrmany-she has reason to be more bitter. perhaps, than Eng land We should therefore realize that England is in a better frame Of mind 10 judge di8passionately--and England is ever on the lookout for the buttered side of the commercial bread.
 But these suggested alliances in feeling fall so far short of the real getting together of all nations that they are pitiful in their inadequacy.
 Never can there be an actual alli- nnce, based on wisdom. between "English-speaking peoplef' only.

 But 1t must be remembered that the interest Of this country. if it is to join In world affairs at all. is not confined to English speaking peoples. and it must be remembered that the people of this country are not fully in accord with all of the ideas of the greatest of all other English speak ing Countrics-C;reat Britain. America demonstrated her stand in this mat ter Ne'uts ago to the full satisfa ction Of that country. In fact one great Englishman said no, long ago that America had taught England one of the most important lessons she ever learned.
