Mrs. Schwartz died at Reval on De-

solitary confinement and hunger in
Soviet prisons, and her husband is re-
turning to America alone to give even
worse pictures Of conditions in Russia
than many of the Italian, British and

the Third Internationale have painted.

Schwartz, II came here to Berlin and

Of her husband, whom she has charged
Noske with numbering. Now l hsye
come to see her again and tell her that
the Communist leaders in Russia have
killed my wife, and that I am going to
America to tell the working people
there the truth about the Soviet pov-
ernment, which l formerly sympathized
with thoroughly and supported on the
platform from New York to San Fran
cisco.
II want to tell them what that second
congress Of the Third Internationale
was. 1t was only Zinovieff, Bukharin,
Lenine and Trotzky. 1t was all cut and
dried. The members were tol6 what
action to take; they did not dare do
otherwise"
Describing the early part of his visit
he said: Everywhere we went we were
met by BRASS bands and crowds waving
red fats, shouting for the Soviet gov.
ernment. But we weren't fooled. From
the moment we landed in Petroprad we
saw misery, dilapidation and squalor
there"

Measure Would Drive the
Farmers Out of Business

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-Testimony
&akRn by the Senate immigration Com
v,;ttee in bearings on the Johnson bill
rrshibiting immigration for one year
kas failed to prove the existence of an
~~errency. according to Senators, who
ks-etgnt aralyzed the evidence submit
~ by more than thirty witnesses in
shs Ia st week. They declared the charge
thas millions of aliens would flood the
United States, increase unemployment
and create economic Chaos had not
Aeen proved.
One o. the members of the 1mmigra-
s;on Comm ttee predicted that inasmuch
,s fhe Johnson bill admittedly was an
emergency measure designed to meet
a temporary need, that of checking the
alleged food, it probably would be side
cracked until such time as the emer-
oency cou.d be proved. Other commit
tss members expressed similar opir-
inns. Chairman Colt said tonight he
aid not know the views of the whole
eommittse and could not estimate how
long would be required to draft re-
mort for the Senate emb bodying the
opinions of all the members.
Chairman Colt told the committee
to-day that testimony taken to date
showed conditions in Europe had not
uroduced any change in the ratio be-
tween the number of immigrants as
compared with the number of aliens
returning to Europe.

Mr.. Bennett said. "The stream of labor
is turning from the factory back to the
farm at the present time, but the
passage Of this bill will stop that
stream"
I'VE get men and women who are

and women come from across the ocean
we sift them out, which we cannot do
with those who are born here"
Che great majority of immigrants
he asserted, we're "absolutely in the
flower of mental and physica. useful
ness"
He recalled the fact that the report
of the immigration Commission in 1910
showed the children of the foreign
born ranked we'll in the public schools,
and ne said, while the commission did
not say so, it did discover these chill
dren in great many cases excelled
native-born children.
Referring to the rapid Americaniza-
tiou of the children of the foreign
born, whether those children be born
abroad or in this country, Mr.. Bennett
recommended to Senators on the immi-

sion's report which shows the rapid
change in type of children Of the for
eign-born.
Children who are born even a few
years after the arrival of their parents
here from abroad show changes OF
type said Mr.. Bennett. There are
even changes in the face or the head.
'It is fact that is not yet explained
but can't be disputed. The children OF
Russian Jews, for instance, even show
the American standard of face and
head. The immigration Commission
demonstrated that by the actual meas.

Representative Johnson, of Washing

tion Committee, and John E. Trevor. o1
