PENROSE TO MAKE
WAR ON RETAINING
WILSON APPOINTEES
Issues Statement Urging Pat
ronage Policy of Jobs
For Party Workers.
BY LOUIS LUDLOW.

WASHINGTON. June il. - Sen.
Boise Penrose has decided 20 make
war on the administration policy OF
retaining democrats in office until
their terms expire. The Pennsyl-
vania senator I'm a statement just
made public declares for a new
patronage policy based on the gen
er8l principle that federal Offices be-
long 90 the party IN power. not 10 in
dividuals
He explained that under the pol
icy which he proposes all Iersons ap-
pointed 90 offices by Pres.t Wilson
would be ousted Immediately and
their places filed by republicans. He
would have the new policy apply 20
republicans a. well as 90 democrats.
In other words. II 10 should be found
that Pres't Wilson late In his admin
istration appointed a republican 20 a
federal position that person would
be ousteG and a republican repre-
sentlng the new administration put
In his place.
Shortly after March 4 the new ad
ministratlOn announced that tenure
Of office would be respected. II Will
be recalled that when tho Wilson ad-
ministration came into power IN
1913 republicans who at that time oc-
cupied practically all the Offices fill
ed by presidential appointment were
permitted 10 serve out their terms.
Atty Gen. Daugherty. early In the
present administration, made known
that district attorneys United States
marshals and other federal officers

I partment OF justice. would serve out

Postmaster Gen. Hays also an

serve out the terms for which they
F were appointed. II the policy which
I Sen. Penrose now proposes should be
substituted for the policy which the

cheney. Today our population aver ages 35 to the square mile.
 But it is patent that we have pro- gressed to the point where the un- regulat ted flow of immigration is no longer needed or desired More scientific handling of immigration is demanded now for the most sue cessfuI future economic develop ment of this and other countries. There can be no doubt about the advisabi of negotiating immigra- tion and labor treaties with foreign governments to take the place of the present inefficient and made quate methods of control through consular service and passports so as to insure the admittance of only those immigrants desired and se- lected according to standards.
 It would seem equally obvious that under such treaties 1t would be possible to arrive at definite un- derstandings with each country in volved on the quantity and quality of immigrants wanted here, to pro- vide proper machinery for the regu- lation of arrivals and to insure some cooperation on the part of

five per cent of all our clothing as well as constitute sixty per cent, of all the employees of our packing houses.
 It Is quite possible, in fact, that unless immigrant labor is obtaina- ble in the proper quantity and quail fty when needed some American in dustries may have to set up facto- ries In countries where labor is available on a basis that will per init such industries to compete with those Of rival nations. for certain of our industries are almost wholly dependent upon immigrant labor. as it is impossible for them to obtain an adequate supply of native-born laborers at any price.
 Furthermore, this counry-the richest of all in natural resources -is under-developed and under built. Hundreds of years will elapse before we will begin to ex- haust our resources.

DUENSKE HELD IN $2,OOO BONDS
 AFTER BATTLE

As the result of a fight originating from a boyish prank last night. Alex Mizejewski, of SAP Railroad avenue is in St. Vincent's hospital today suf- ferinS from decorations of the scalp and a possible fracture of the skull, and Felix Duenske, of 346 Railroad avenue is being held by the police on charges of assault with intent to kill Duenske's bonds have been fix ed at $2,000. and he will be arraign- ed for trial Monday. It is expected that Mizejewski. who is not be seri- ously injured will be discharged from the hospital before that time.
 Last nights trouble started when Mizejewski handed his son a light ed cigarette and told him to toss it on DuenSke's son who was watching some agricultural work in the Mize- jeWski yard at the time. The young ster carried out instructions, and the Duenske boy was badly burned on the neck. He told his father about the affair, and the parent started an in Vestigaion pronto.

I other countries in seeing that the
 right kind of immigrants come. There are four immigration bills
 pending in Congress, including the Johnson, CT House Bill; the Dill 1 lingham and Sterling Bills in the Senate and the Senate Committee Bill. The first of these-namely, the Johnson Bill-wouid prohibit immigration for one year. The Dtl- lingham Bill provides for the. limit ing of immigrants annually to five per cent of the number of persons of their nationality resident in the United States, nationality to be de- termined "by country of political allegiance" But thereis ambiguity in this proposed law. If nationality is determined by the country of al- legiance foreign born citizens ow- ing their allegiance to the United States would not be included.
 The Senate Committee Bill would likewise limit the number of aliens of any nationality who may here after be admitted to the United III tV uNS pSE cent of the number of such nation ality resident in the United States, nationality in this case, however, to be determined by the country of birth. Under the provisions of this bill the approximate number of aliens who would be admissible an- nuany from northwestern Europe would be 33I 900; from the remain der of Europe 255,0Oo would be ad- missible, while about 5000 would be admissible from the rest of the world.
 The Sterling Bill considers immi- grafton not from the single aspect of exclusion or restriction, but from other vital aspects as well. It would lodge the general control of immigration in an Immigration Board, of which the chairman would be the Secretary of La- bor. After the necessary negoti- ations with foreign governments this. Board, through its agents abroad would investtzate all i'm

products for her industry. Already the experiment. has been tried on small scale. Several thousand Ital- ians were sent into France on an agreement between the Italian and French governments that for every man sent to France so many tons of coal would be delivered yearly to Italy. But the scheme will i'm clude an attempt to establish Ital- ian colonies which will retain all their national features and not be come assimilated in the new coun- tries. The Italian Socialists quite rightly express the belief that such legislation would close the United States to Italian emigrants, because the United States will not accept immigrants under such conditions
 The United States could not have been as fully developed and as powerful as it is today if 1t had not drawn so literally upon the populations of Europe. We must, in fact, acknowledge our great eco homie debt to immigrant workmen who today mine three-9uarters of our output of iron and coal. consti- tute the majority of the laborers in our lumber camps, are used almost exclusively to lay our railroad tracks and build our roads and to keep them in repair. Because of the shortage of such workers, in fact, the building of houses in this country is seriously handicapped. Immigrants also bake ope-hah of our bread, refine one-half of our sugar. prepare four-ffths of all our leather, make fifty per cent of our gloves shoes and silks and ninety

Ezation was occurring most rapidly, such as the United Kingdom, Ger many and Scandinavia And there Is good reason to believe that immi- grafton to the United States will decrease as the present economic stabilization of Europe proceeds. Already, in fact, there are evil dences of this There is also less incentive now than in the past for many foreigners to seek here an asylum from religious persecution and political oppression. As a re- suit of the colossal sacrifice of life during the war Europe, as whole, sorely needs its man-power and will continue to need it during the years of reconstruction that lie ahead.
 The Swedes, Films and Germans have already opened large areas of land at home for colonization purposes, and the military laws of Poland, Czechoslovakia and Greece deny passports to all of military age, while Rumania threatens loss of citizenship to all of its nationals who emigrate to the United States. There is agitation in Czechoslova- kia to make impossible the activity of agents who seek to cause mass emigration, while a law has just been enacted there prohibiting men l twenty-two years of age to pass over the boundaries. Germany has established Department of Immi- grafton and Emigration to under take the task of bringing her colo nists back to the Fatherland. Great Britain is seeking to direct emigra- ton to her own dominions. Spain, Belgium and Greece are adopting similar policies.
 Italy faces a dearth of raw mate rials. while she has an abundance of man-power. She hopes to dis
 tribute this surplus in the labor markets of the world in such way l as to guarantee her coal and raw
