The immigration problem, in regard to which we are now feeling so much anxiety, did not begin to bother until less than thirty years ago. It was at the start land problem. From the foundation of the republic to 1890 most of our immigrants went to the land arriving in America. Immigration did not become problem until the desirable and accessible lands had been occupied cornered Up to that time we able to take of the arriving aliens. Far from wishing to exclude them, wanted them.

As a result of the Washington con- ference, and as anticipated. the pack ing industry strike resulted in a com promise. Representatives of the work. CTS agreed to accept the wage reduc- tions while the packers agreed to re- tain the eight-hour workday with over time rates as fixed by a previous ar- bitration, and to extend the wartime arbitration agreement for six months until Sept. 15. This puts off prospects of a strike for at least six months un- less the workers by general consent repudiate the action of their repre- sentatives.

One of those popular elections which do not decide and speedily become un- popular, may be said to character ize the plebiscite in Upper Silesia. Germany received a heavy majority of the total vote, but 1t came from the larger towns and centers of popula- tion. Polish strength was manifested principally in the villages and among agricultural groups, and the conten- tiOn has arisen as to whether the re- turns shall be interpreted by the whole majority or by village and group units. Various factors contributed to the Ger man majority, the principal among them being that military service is no longer compulsory in Germany, where as Polish citizens must serve two years; German factory and mine own CTS threatened to close their works if Poland won the plebiscite, so many Polish employees voted in favor of Germany through fear of losing their jobs; the Berlin government vaguely promised to share the big landed es- tates in Upper Silesia among the small land owners and Germany promised amnesty to all political offenders. AL ready there has been violence in the disputed territory and although the interallied commission which super vised the voting will have to decide the questions arising from 1t, any de cision can hardly create a permanent settlement

The question of American participa- tion in the League of Nations con- tinues to bob up. Notwithstanding the prediction platform of the Re publican party, Mir. Harding's cam paign and inauguration utterances, and the result of the election itself, havs ing put a supposedly definite quietus on the matter, strong influences from foreign nations and economic forces at home are being exerted toward securing American entry into some sort of covenant; possibly mOdifica- tion of the one adopted at Paris.

Red Russia is now at peace with most of her neighbors and rapidly concluding trade agreements. A strong appeal has been made to President Harding for a resumption of trade with Russia. For the first time the soviet government has officially dis avowed any intention of interfering in American internal affairs, thus backing down from the manifesto of the Third Internationale which pro posed to overthrow by force, if neces- sary, the governments of the United States and other nations and substi- tute rule of the proletariat. Opponents in America of resumption of trade point to the assertion once made by Lenin that the soviet government would not hesitate to repudiate prom ises made to gain immediate ends.

Maj Gen. Leonard Wood has been selected by President Harding for a mission to the Philippines which while not directly administrative nevertheless partakes in some respects of the character of his important SO journ in Cuba immediately after the Spanish-American war At that tim, General Wood not only governed tn, country, but made an investigation of it's principal problems and was large ly Instrumental in establishing condi tions which made f-government pos sible. He Is scheduled to leave fo' the Philippines April 5, accompanied by W. Cameron Forbes, former gover nor general of the islands, and several military advisors. In appointing Gen eral Wood, President Harding has signified an intention to obtain de- tailed, unprejudiced report of condi- tions in order to execute the Jones act providing that American sovereignty shall be withdrawn when a stable government in which the natives are largely participating shall have been established. It is significant of the potential authority vested in General Wood that pending his investigation and report no governor general of the islands will be appointed.

New York has taken a straightfor- ward method of dealing with the rent problem by releasing from taxation for ten years homes upon which COZ struction shall begin before April 1, 1922. This strikes at the heart of the question in that it is a virtual guar antee against construction losses. If property comes down in price as re suit of lower material and labor costs, the owner of a home will have com pensation in the form of tax elimina- tion. The maximum tax exemption is $5,00O, which restricts the benefit to the type of home sought by people of small means. Already a boom in home building is reported. The legislatures of Illinois and several other states are struggling with the rent problem.

The Holbrook news., 1921-04-08

The American Legion Is stirred up over the conviction and sentencing to terms in German jails of Sergeants Carl Neaf anf Fred Zimmer, members of the American forces on the Rhine who attempted to apprehend Grover Cleveland BergdolI, convicted Ameri- can stacker. Neaf was sentenced to 15 months Imprisonment and Zimmer six. The national legislative commit tee of the Legion has addressed a let ter to the secretary of war requesting that the United States government take steps to procure from Germany the return of Bergdoll to this country and the release of the sergeants. The letter is quite severe in its terms and among other things states that 'the Bergdoll case as 1t now stands is Q disgrace to the government and a crue' and undeserved insult to the 5,00O,00C men who served America in the World war"

the prohibition department to make the rules affecting prescriptions in general more elastic, will in a short time destroy the effect of the VOlstead act. Some have gone so far as to predict that it will not be long until beer and wine are dispensed by the glass at soda fountains. The same authorities also predict that while the result will be a temporary success for the liquor forces it will end in national reversion to prohibition of a drastic sort.
 Several judicial decisions have re gently been entered against search and seizure of intoxicants in private homes and temporary places of residence. The Supreme court suit which attacks the validity of the prohibition amend ment is based on the section which makes it imperative unless ratified within seven years. It is the conten- ton that the section violates article 5 of the Constitution which gives con gress no power to impose a limit on ratification "or to otherwise attempt to control what the legislatures of the states shall do in their deliberations" The provision attacked was offered by former Senator Harding when the pro hibitiOn amendment was being pro- posed in the senate. He is quoted as having stated at the time (Aug. l, 191O that he offered the provision in order to speed action on the amend ment and place a limit on the time various states could keep it pending.

a number Of years, but it was not pos
sible to introduce it extensively be-
cause of scarcity of seed. In the re-
gion where it was most valuable 1t has
not been feasible to raise purple vetch
In large quantities because of climatic
conditions. In the North, on the
other hand, the seed can be grown sue
cessfully, but there the purple vetch
Is not In as great favor for forage
as common vetch, which Is harder and
has become established in popularity.
To make bridge between the two
geographically distant localities has
been the work Of a number of years
on the part Of the department experts.
1t was first necessary to demonstrate
the value Of purple vetch in the
South, and afterwards to induce north
ern farmers to substitute 1t to some
extent for their customary crops. This
latter was difficult, because purple
vetch was not quoted In the market,
and also because, where a sale was ef-
fected farmers were tempted to sell
their entire stock, reserving no seed
to maintain or extend the acreage.
The assistance Of large California
fruit growers association was enlisted,
and last year 500 acres were grown
under guarantee, large portion Of
the yield being kept for seed. This
year northwestern California and Ore
gon farmers will receive IAN cents q
pound for purple vetch seed, which
should give them from $50 to $500
per acre in addition to the straw. From
now on 1t is expected sufficient seed
will be available for all needs.
