OPERATION Of
IMMIGRATION LAW
(Ry U. S. Pzess)

Washington, Sept, 2O.-Attacks on
the per cent immigration law are
being made with the specific inten-
ton Of discrediting the law, according
to Secretary Of Labor Davis. Labor
Department officials say that efforts
to bring the law into disrepute are
more than likely to result in Congress
shutting off immigration entirely. Re-
iterating the statement made by
President Harding in a letter to Rep
resentative Siegel of New York, that
much Of the trouble was caused by
+" dishonest steamship lines bringing G
over more than the monthly quotas Of
each nationality, the Secretary of La
Dor declared that many pitiful stories
Of the hardships worked by the law
were circulated with the intention OF
discrediting the law.

SOME REMEDIES
ARE SUGGESTED
(By U. 8. Press)

Washington. Sept. 20.-Since the
announcement that the Conference
was going to be held a great number
70 proposals have come in to the ef-
feet that the Government should re-
sumo it's irrigation projects in the
West and should enlarge its appropria
tions for more effective road extension
building and the like. The Connfer-
ence will consider these suggestions
A well-informed writer purports to
have discovered that the outcome Is
more likely to take the form Of direct
cooperation with factories, manufactur-
ing plants, and other forms of indus
try, with a view to their keeping as
many men at work as possible.

thusiams and his depressions of spirit

open to flattery and willing to be

MILLION FARMS FOR
FORMER SOLDIERS
(By Associated Press.)


Sydney, Sept. l9-Australians are
interestedly discussing a scheme pro-
posed by Sir Joseph Carruthers, Aus
,traliantralian publicist and financier,
for the settling of 100000 English
tillers Of the soil upon 100000 farms
in Australia, through the creation of
a fund of $3.50, 100000 to be raised in
equal proportion by Australia and
Great Britain.
! He argued that the scheme would
permit the emigra ton to Australia of
a large number Of the unemployed
service men Of the Kingdom to some
: Of the richest land in the world, whica
as vet has never felt a plowshare
Sir Joseph stressed the value to
Great Britain Of the man power
brought to Australia by the undertak-
ing. He declared that it would be bet
ter for the United Kingdom to sup
port such a scheme than to build war
ships in contemplation of Australia s
danger, should the Pacific become a
war zone.
Australian government immigration
officials in London lauded the scheme
pointing out that it was similar to g
500 900 900 plan submitted by Sena
tor Millen, Minister for Repatriation
to the Colonial Emigration Confer
ennce in January and February. It ::
solely question Of capital, they point
ed out.
1t is interesting to note in the same
connection that Icheya Kadono, ;
Japanese newspaperman making
5 tour Of Australia, suggested in an in
: terview that it might be advisable t.
permit a limited number of good-typ
/ Japanese farmers to settle in the Ia
. North of Australia where they coul
grow tropical fruits, the region bein'
in the tropical zone. The farmer
could be brought out on 3O-years
: agreement. If they made good at tn
end Of the period they could hav
i. their leases renewed. In that way, h
E said, it would be possible to see wha
the north areas were capable OF pre-
$ ducing, and what type of immlg grant
V tie japanese made.

Consuls abroad have received instruc
