Groat, L. P Staff Correspondent.) -
Business man, economist or glad

German authorities mulled over
those three classes today in consider
ing possibilities for the next German
ambassador to the United States. High
hopes were expressed that peace be-
tween the two nations win be declar-
ed shortly after the new American
administration begins TO function,
Germany wants to be ready for as ap-
! pointment so that relations may be re-
sumed as soon as possible.
Nations previously resuming ordi-
nary relations with Germany have re-
/ ceived business men as ambassadors
/ from the former empire. Berlin has
drawn heavily on the big concerns at
Bremen and Hamburg for her repre-
Isentatives. One Of the most common
ly mentioned names in conenction
with the Washington appointment Is
tthat of Director General Heinecken OF
the North German Lloyd Co.
Heinecken resigned from the com
pany to prepare for the appointment
/ but later asked that his name not be
considered Later the foreign office
sought to induce him to reconsider.
The success Of some German pro-
l fessors in bringing about good feeling
/ in other countries has led to the sug-
4 gestion Of several names. The men
/ talked Of most frequently are known
/ to have had pacifist views and to have
had no connection with the old regl-

Arizona republican., 1921-12-04
By Frederic J. Haskin

NEW YORK CITY. Dec. In Q few days. Jackie Schumacher. a lit tie 12-year-old cripple boy, must go back alone to Scotland. All of Jackie's family. who are devoted to him, live in White Plains. N. T., and he hasn't a single relative or friend left in his native country. Neverthe- less, he must go back. American im- migration officials have said so.
 JacIlie's father, accompanied by an elder son and daughter. came to this country from Scotland soon after the war ended. Mrs. Schumacher and Jackie, with another boy and girl did not. arrive in New York until the early part of 1920. Immigration agents immediately raised an objec- ton to Jackies admittance upon the ground that he was a defective. and detained him at Ellis Island.
 Through the aid of friends and the good offices of a congressman, the family was able to obtain the boys release by filing a bond guaranteeing that he would not become a public charge. Later this bond was ex- tended. Still the matter was not permanently settled. The family was constantly hounted by the fear that eventually Jackie would have to go, that an immigration officer would come and get him. Several months ago. Mrs. Schumacher died. The doctor who attended her said that her death was due to constant fear and worry over the fate of her son.
 And now that fate has come. A general roundup of detectives was recently ordered by the immigration authorities, and Jackie is only one of a large number of forlorn human be- ings who are to be disposed of in the usual cold -blooded, arbitrary manner at Ellis Island. On the list of undesirables awaiting deportation are likewise mothers and infants who will be torn from their families now residing in this country; husbands and fathers. prevented by various technicalities from joining their fam flies here, and mentally and physi- cally defective children who are to be cast back upon lands where they no longer have homes
 The blame for this cruel and in- human treatment of aliens does not belong to our immigration officials. They have no personal influence or authority and merely act as auto- matons in carrying out the immigra- ton laws. Neither does the blame lie in the laws, which are necessary evils for the protection If the nation from large masses of undesirable citizens. But blame must descend upon a government which fails tC provide the means to set aside tho laws when it is seen that in indi-
