CLEANED FROM FOREIGN
EXCHANGES

Our iast note to France maintains the
view that the best way to establish
peace IN the near east is by the Coop
Grafton of France, Italy and Great
Britain. The essential thing is to remove
from the Turkish mind the mischievous
impression that negotiations can be con-

Dukedom as Wedding Gift?-Peo4le
are wondering what rank will be given
Lord Lascel1es on his marriage to Prin-
cess Mary, and there is considerable
speculation on the subject The Earl OF
Fife, when he married Princess Louise
Of Wales the then sovereign's grand
daughter be it noted, was made duke
on his wedding day, and as precedent
stands for much in court procedure it is
quite likely that on Lord Lascelles
marriage to the kings daughter he will
be given a dukedom. AS things are he

Not the Real Thing.-It is generally

it "as regular old-fashionei fog" was
not deserved. That was very differ

STOPPING IMMIGRATToN.

immigration has received much att
tentlon in congress for a considerable
period and there are indications that it
will not be missing in the deliberations
in the near future, for while the present
arrangement is not regarded as perma
nent there is proposed that immigration
be shut off entirely for a period of three
years until there is developed such
policy as congress will be DESTROYS Of
making permanent.
The restriction of immigration came
as the result OF the war and the desire
the war stricken countries of Europe to
the United States. 1t was after a long
debate that agreement was reached that
the immigration should be held down to
three per cent of the nationals in the
country and it was made plain at the
time that such was not a permanent
policy but one that was considered wise
until there could be perfected laws that
would be permanent. According to the
chairman Of the house committee on
immigration it is estimated that the tenn
porary law has been the means of keeuz
ing out at least million people in the
last six months, and at a time when the
country has been troubled with a large
amount of unemployment.
There have developed number of
annoyances in connection with the re
strictive law, and because of the fraud
and extortion that have been committed
upon the immigrants and the abuse Of
the passports bill has now been intro
duced that will shut out immigration en-
tirely.
In view of the opposition that was
shown to the restricted plan it is to be
anticipated that there will be much more
to the idea of putting UP the bars en-
tirely. From all quarters Of the globe
however, there are many who are onis
too anxious to get to this country. w
haven't abandoned our policy of welcoln
ing the unfortunate but we likewise hav'
enough undesirables. That the time ma!
not be ripe for fixing permanent immt
grafton policy is possible, and while put
ting up the bars for three years doe
not make a permanent policy neither
does the fact that it is proposed neces
sarily insure its adoption.

Can't you remember those happy joyous
care-free times when mother used to

after the days work was done and tell
us the most wonderful stories II has ever
been our privilege to hear? Many Of
US have studied the art Of story telling
since then and have heard the worlds
greatest story-tellers. yet to us mother
surpassed them all.
