We are approaching the close of
1920 with exports of unprecedented
value. AT the same time their tonnage
is perhaps the heaviest ever sent out
from American ports. That move
ment is, however, met by the largest
tonnage and at the highest value of
imports we have ever received.
Whereas, a year ago fifty cents out OF
every dollar of exports was sold on

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Governor Cary Hardee yesterday in
his inaugural speech outlined to
some extent what he hopes to accom-
plish during his administration. The
governor spoke of the public school
system, the extension of good roads.
sthe continuation of the Everglades
drainage project, the support OF the
state institutions for maynard boys
and girls. added equipment for the
hospitals and a new program for the
state board of health.
In referring to the public school
system, the governor took occasion to
say that the entire state owes q. debt
to the rural sections for the leaders
who have come from the less favored
communities and urged that that debt
be paid. The more affluent communi-
ties, the governor said, should be call
ed upon to help the less rich sections
provide adequate school facilities by
an extension of the school millage
system.
The governor believes In the ex-
tension Of good roads and said that it
would be necessary for the state to
meet the national appropriations with
state funds in order that there may be
no cessation in the extension of the
system until every county, seat is con-
nected with every other county seat
He approves Of the use of state con-
victs on roads and insists that all con-
victs except those physically unfit be
required to aid in such road construc-
ton.
Turning to the Everglades project
the governor spoke Of the richness OF
the territory and said that the drain
age system must be continued.
The section of his speech with ref
erence to the state schools for boys
and girls was of some length. He ex-
pressed his approval of the object OF
the schools and said that while they
were places of incarceration they must
also be made corrective so that the
boys and girls who are sent there may
come to understand their duties as
citizens.
With reference to the state board of
health it is evident the governor be-
lieves in a more adequate health sys-
tenn which will enabla every county to
have health organization of sufficient
size and equipment to adequately cope
with any epidemic which may arise
as we'll as to carry out an educational
program for both city and rural dis
tricts.
One section of the governors mes
sage which Is of considerable inter
est is that in which he refers to his
powers TO remove public officials. 1t
is best stated in the governors own
words:
Permit me further TO indulge in the
hope that it will not necessary for me
as chief executive to resort to that in
strumentality of the constitution, car
rying the power of removal of sub
ordinate officers, in order to force a
proper, execution OF the laws. The in
corporation of this high prerogative
in the hands of the governor con-
templates, however, a necessity at
times for it's use. I would have every
one clearly understand that l shall
not hesitate to use it when there APP
pears wanton disregard OF the oath
of office or gross incompcfency in the
performance of official duties"

STEALING 4 SOUTH SEA ISLAND.

Not very many years ago Ariri was
bit of no mans land; though marked
on the chart. it's existence was ignored
by the powers-it had never been in
habited, no flag had ever been raised
above its beaches of dazzling coral
sand.
Then a day came when two French
men-shrewd traders and planters of
coconuts in the Tuamtu-spoke of
Ariri. Here was an island capable of
an annual hundred tons OF copra, and
claimed by no man; they would plant
it and reap the rewards of enterprise.
The chief difficulty was to find sup
erintendent to take charge of the pro-
iect; it needed white man, but white
men willing to undertake a task of
such poignant loneliness were not TO
be found every day in Papeete. As 1t
CHANGED. their man was at hand.
The natives called him Tino-per-
haps his name had once been King.

Press Comment
Immigration

II a ESCcHI duuT0SS pSIOI6 the amer
lean Sociological Society DIR. James
Dealey, of Brown University, claimed
that the world war showed that there
should be a stoppage of racial migra-
tons and said: 1.-The time has come
when every nation must hereafter un-
dertake to care for its own popula-
ton and should no more expect to
foist its surplus inhabitants on other
nations than improvident parents
should expect the community to sup
port all children they may happen to
bring into existence"
We have never believed and do not
now believe that any nation tries to
induce any part of its population to
move beyond it's jurisdiction. The
wealth and the power Of any nation
is in its people, so the nation that
would try to get rid of its people
would be voluntarily weakening and
impoverishing itself.
We are fthe opinion that migra-
ton is the act of the individual and
is voluntary. The individual moves
from one country to another to i'm
prove his condition and If he Is an av-
erage individual he also improves the
condition of the country to which he
moves. DR.. Dealey seems to think the
immigrant becomes an object of char
ity. On the contrary he pays his way
in the country to which he moves. He
furnishes needed labor and If he
moves wisely he finds in the country
to which he moves a greater demand
for the class of labor which he can
furnish and therefore greater rewards
for it than he can find at home. Mi
grafton from one country to another
generally means an increase in the
number of the worlds workers.
There is no possibility of the re-
striction of the profits of any mans
labor to himself. His employer de-
rives profit from his labor or he would
not employ him. The wealth he adds
to the country or the section to which
he moves goes into the general circu-
lation and to some extent affects all
beneficially.
The great progress that has been
made by the United States has been
due largely If not chiefly to the immi-
grant. The opportunities were here
but they were undeveloped and could
not be developed without labor and
the supply of native labor was not suf-
ficient. And there is no limit to the
opportunities. The development of one
and so the stream gathers as it flows.
But some countries are so thickly
settled that many Of their people need
to seek less crowded quarters. For in
stance, England has a population Of
nearly 600 per square mile. Italy and
Germany each have about 800 per
square mile, while Belgium is more
densely settled than either Of the

onies or If they come to the United

Poles May Ask League
To RevieaU PLebiscite

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Polish
officials here expressed the opinion to-
day that Poland might appeal to the
Council of Ambassadors and to the
League of Nations from the result of
the Upper Silesian plebiscite should the
official count be confrmatory Of the
German victory, unofficially reported
to-day. They are. so far without any
news of the official decision.
Should an appeal be made to the
League of Nations, it was said that an
impartial tribunal might be asked to
review the plebiscite. In such case,
it was suggested that representative
Of the United States might be asked to
serve, as was done by the league in
the Aland Island dispute.
It became known to-day that last
November request was made of the
State Department by the Polish govern
ment through the Polish legation here
for the appointment of an American
representative to observe the alleged
Illegal methods to which, it was charged,
Germany was resorting III order to
further her designs upon the territory.
In a note to the State Department
of November 8, 1920, the attention OF
the American government was called
ny the Polish government ITO the pow
erful means of resistance and defense
TO defeat the purpose of the plebiscite''
which the German government was or
ganizing.
In second note, in December, the
Polish government furnished the State
Department with documentary evidence
of the alleged abuses which, it was
said, the German government was
practicing in the effort to bring about
vote favorable to Germany.
