to Secret ary Wilson

The White Star liner Adriatic, hard
hit by rough Atlantic weather, came
to port yesterday a day late from
Southampton, her average speed for the
voyage Of approximately nine days be-
ing 1897 knots.
After clearing Cherbourg she en-
countered stiff northwest gales which
lasted until she arrived off Sandy
Hook From noon Tuesday until noon
Wednesday the northwest gale and
rough head sea gave her hard fight
| and she logged only 285 miles.
Among the Adriatic's saloon passen-
gers was Anthony Caminetti, Commits
sioner General Of immigration, who
had been abroad observing conditions
at the European centers and seaports
where the great bulk of immigrants
concentrate n their efforts to reach
the United States.
He said he had been to the chief
embarkation places in France, Eng
land, Belgium, Holland, Poland, Czecho-
Slovakia and Jugo-Slavia and that his
observations would be embodied in
report to Secretary Wilson of the De-
partment of Labor. He said the Sec
rotary was DESTROYS of adopting meas
ures which would help obviate the long
and expensive trips Of persons who
were not qualified to enter the coun-
try.
Large Immigration a Puzzle
ut is Mr.. Wilson's idea," said the
Commissioner, chat an effort should be
made to discover at the outset Of the
journey if there are legal impediments, :
advised. This proposal would prevent
the coming Of persons disqualified
from entry and materially aid in the
enforcement of our, immigration laws
and regulations.
IL have been Impressed with the ap- .
parently authentic reports concerning
the great number Of people in Europe
who are awaiting or desire transporter
ton to the United States, and have
been wondering what some localities
there will do without them and what
our country will do with them iii view
of the reports Of increasing unemploy- .
ment here"
Another traveller was the Right Hon.
G. j. Doherty K. c., Minister of Jus :
tice of Canada, who had been attending
the sessions of the League of Nations |
at Geneva.
Regarding the difference Of opinion
between the Canadian delegates and !
the delegates from Downing Street on
certain phases Of the questions brought /
before the council Mr.. Doherty said: ,
II have the utmost confidence that |
the empire will hold. But the empire !
members stand together on a basis of |
agreement, and not on a basis of con-
troll. To get the voice of the empire
it is necessary to get the voice Of all !
the nations that compose it. There ,
need be no apprehensions as to Canada,
which is nation within the empire.
Responsible Only to Canadians
"The persons sent out to represent
Canada are responsible only in their
expressions to the Canadian people.
We did not agree in several instances
with Mr.. Balfour at the league Council
with regard to certain mandates and
to the admission of certain countries.
We reserve the right to our expressions
of independence when we differ from
those sent out from Downing Street."
