Italian Government.

To THE New York HERALD: The I'M
migration Bureau has just made public
its statistics on immigration for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1921.
In tho comparative abstract submit
to your attention I consider the num-
Der of Italians debarred and that or
the Italians deported during the fiscal
year and calculate the percentages from
the total number of those admitted and
I give like figures for other nationals

First-How the Italian Government

and the guarantee 1t offers to the peo-
pie and Government of the United
States.
Second--The moral and political quail
ties Of the italians residing in the United
States--number and percentage of the
Italians deported.
This public proof Of carnestness and
of loyalty of the Government and OF
the people of italy it was my duty to-
ward the United States and toward my

MUSEUM REBUKED
BY ONLY TEN OF 1000
Metropolitan Art Directors
Doubt M0tiOe of Critics.

The answer of the Metropolitan Mu-
scum Of Art to an anonymous circular
protesting against the museums exhibit
ton of impressionist and post-impres-
sionist paintings as degenerate and en-
tirsly pathological was made yesterday
in the September issue of the tnstitu-
tion's bulletin. The exhibition closed,
according to schedule, on September Is.
In the reply the museum directors
express doubt about the motives of the
anonymous pamphleteers, saying the
protest was made at the end rather than
at the beginning Of the exhibition, and
not to the museum authorities, but to
the newspapers. They continue:
1.-THE museum was perfectly aware OF
the fact that these impressionist and
post-impressionist paintings have evoked
excessive admiration and excessive de-
testation.' In exhibiting them the mu-
scum has passed no judgment on them
either of admiration or detestation.
1T has provided an opportunity for
the public to see the best examples OF
these schools which could be assembled
in New York. In order that our visitors
could not only compare the post-im.
pressionist paintings with the impress
sionist paintings, but could also compare
both with the examples of art of well
recognized excellence show in our ada
cent galleries.
1.-THE museum knows no partisarshir
in art, nor does 1t promote any partic-
ular school Of art, ancient or modern
1t seeks to give to the public the OPP
portunity of seeing every kind Of art
from everywhere. which any consider
able number of people esteem or admire.
quite regardless of the particular taste
Of it's officers and trustees.
TT is, however, interesting to note
that whereas this anonymous protest
urges that all persons having at heart
the welfare Of our community and civili-
cation write to the authorities Of the
Metropolitan Museum expressing their
disapproval Of the present exhibition
only ten letters have reached the mu-
scum up to the date Of publishing this
bulletin, out of a membership of over
seven thousand and out of q body OF
citizens, to which this protest was ad-
dressed, of many millions"

High Cost Of Being Paid.

That there is such q thing as q
creditor being paid to his own en-
barrassment begins to show emphati-
cally in Belgium. Preparations pay
ments in the form of goods are being
dumped into that country by Ger
many so enormously that Belgian in
dustries are becoming submerged.
In the first half of this year the
German deliveries of machinery into
Belgium amounted to 100,000.000
francs as compared with 100000
francs in the corresponding period of
1920. Railroad material went up
from 100000 francs to 100000
and chemical products from 10000, 900
francs to 100000. So Belgium,
buried under such imports, may be
wondering now whether because Of
the reparations settlement the Ger
mans are living up to she is going
to be saved or ruined.
Meanwhile European flnanciers are
figuring on how Germany is going to
come out with the SIS, 900, 900 in gold
which she must pay on indemnity
account before November Is. It
looks as If the huge sum would be
easily forthcoming out of exports.
They are estimated for the three
months Of April, May and June at a
total of something more than $780,
100000 in gold.
1t may be that this straining of
every German resource to raise the
indemnity payments, with every
ounce Of goods put into foreign mar.
kets that can be rushed there, is
bleeding the home producer white.
But by as much as the food Of Ger.
man exports for reparations purposes
swamps markets in the allied coun.
tries and, for the matter of that, in
our own, the Preparations payments,
sweeping away foreign industries the
world over, may be worse blow to
those who are paid than to the one
who pays.
There are increasing signs that the
terms and conditions OF the repara-
lions payments may be modified by
the Allies not because Germany can.
not stand them but because the AL
lies cannot.
