GERMAN EMIGRATION
FLOOD IS EXPECTED
UNLESS LIMIT SET
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Unless
the German government discourages
emigration, food of Germans may
follow the re-establishment of Amer
lean consular offices in that country in
the opinion of officials of the depart
ment of labor.
While the percentage immigration
law permits more than $4,000 Germans
to enter this country in one month,
practically none have come here in
recent months, notwithstanding that
the American commissioner at Berlin
has the power to wise passports.
With the setting up of consular of.
fees at the various ports, however, it
will be much easier for vises to OBJ
tanned provided the German govern
ment is willing to issue passports. De
partment of Labor officials are in
clined to the view that emigration
from Germany will be limited by
German law.
Italy already has taken a hand in
reducing emigration the monthly
quotas falling well below the maximum
i which can be admitted under the law
In June, the first month the law was
in operation the quota for the month
was exceeded but restriction of pass
ports since then has reduced Italian
emigration about so per cent.

Such machinery for gathering IN.
formation regarding trade condi-
tons Is especially valuable Just
now. During recent weeks there
has been a rapid and striking de-
velopment OF events in the interna.
tional economic situation and II IL
now possible TO estimate somewhat
more clearly than for many months
past the probable course Of the re-
adjustment OF foreign commercial
and financial affairs. The Londoa
Preparations Conference between
Germany and the Allies had an un-
expected result and accelerated ma
terialry the movement towards O
positive settlement Of the problem
Of the amount OF Germany's wax
indemnity. The doubtful status oe
this matter has constituted a de-
pressing influence upon business
reimbursement In every part OF the
world
Developments IN the British ooah
strike add another hopeful element
to the world outlook. II has been
proved definitely that the spirit OF
real democracy is strong enough I'M
the English-speaking peoples to
protect them against an Attac&
upon its fundamental principles.
There is much In this event ana
in the lessons OF the grotesque fair
ure Of Russia's attempt at purely
proletarian domination Of produc-
ton, as well as in the probable
outcome of the many efforts OF la
Dor in America TO claim an unfaiei
and unecononic special privilege In
the social organization. to afford
universal instruction.
The results of the recent efee-
lions In Italy seem to prove conclu'
sively that constructive and eco
nomically sound influences are Ike
" to dominate affairs In that coun-
try.
In recent figures from France
can be seen the degree of restora-
ton that has already taken place
In the areas devastated during tho
war. In 1914 the population Of these
devastated districts was 4,IoO.0Oo-
Ar the time Of the armistice Il
had fallen to 100000, while today
the former residents have returned
until the total Is only 600,OO below
the pre-war record. Nine-tenths Oh
the soil OF the districts fought
over was damaged; this Is now
four-ifths restored to cultivsuo&
The railroads are now 1914 per
cent normal; 50 per cent OF ina
bridges are repaired, and 30 per
cent Of the industrial works are IN
oDeration. Coal mines In the areas
IN question had an output OF e.
b4s. $50 metric tons prior to 1914;
thew have already been restored to
an output OF 433a per cent OF the
pre-war level.
The approval By the United

tlon for the loss OF her PanamR,
territory closes controversy o.
long duration, and the effect upon
the relations of the United States

tary.
Altogether our recent inforra-
