IMMIGRATION LAW WORKS WE'LL

According to information from the Depart ment of Labor, the immigration restriction law has accomplished all that was expected of it and has worked as we'll as any measure that could have been devised for the purpose. Be cause of economic and political conditions in Southern and Eastern Europe, there was a threatened rush of immigrants from that sec tion of the world Better conditions in North ern and Western Europe promised to check immigration, relatively, from that part of Flu rope. The percentage limitation shut off the from Southern and Eastern Flu rope and while Northern and Western Europe did not send as many immigrants as would have been admitted from those countries, the proportion of the whole number coming in was much greater than before the law was enacted Thus, in 1913-14, before the war, we got only 15 per cent of our immigrants from North western Europe. Since the percentage law was enacted, greatly reducing the total immi- grafton, we have received 36 per cent. of the total from that section. It is generally be- lievc6 that our most desirable immigrants are from the Nordic peoples of Northwestern Flu rope. If that be true, some means should be found of further restricting immigration so that still larger proportion of our immi- grants may be of the most desirable sort,

SHIP SALVAGE SOLD ABROAD

The purchasers of the wooden fleet of the Shipping Board are intending to sell much of the salvaged material from those vessels abroad. Especially is that true of the engines. Germany is building scores of new merchant ships, and it is understood the turbines and triple expansion engines in the American ships are entirely suitable for the propulsion. No fault can be found on that score. The sal vagers have the right to sell their material wherever they can get the most favorable prices but the incident serves to emphasize the need for encouragement of our merchant marine. Germany is not the only country that is making serious bdis for ocean trade, and it is up to the United States to take steps imme- diately to meet that competition. The ship subsidy bill now pending in Congress is the remedy agreed upon by those who have an ex- pert knowledge of the situation. President Harding urged its early enactment and it is one of the measures now receiving attention at this special session of Congress.

IMPORTS FLOW IN

At the present time 75 per cent. of the GUS toms duties are collected at the port of New York. The duties paid on imports entering that port have for some time since the passage of the new tariff law been averaging $1,000,0OO day. The imports are coming in in such volume that the employees are beginning to show signs of overwork.. A report from New York says: 'sThat importers are bringing in vast quantities of merchandise of many sorts regardless of the higher duties is indisputable Why do they do it? Mir. Stuart, the acting collector says his many years of observation have inspired him to believe that the American man and woman have acquired habit of hav- ing what they want no matter how much 1t may cost'' The new tariff has been long enough in operation to indicate that there will be great increase in imports, the experts say. The largest receipts are from woolen goods and apparel, silk and silk apparel, cotton laces. toys jewelry, mostly diamonds, and chemicals. It is pertinent to note that despite the slack season in sugar enough is being imported to produce an average of $80000 in customs duties daily on that single item
 These facts give answer enough to the oft repeated assertions of importers that the new law would prohibit importation. In addition to that these self-same importers, some of them at least. are using the protective tariff law as camouflage to increase their prices. Dem ocratic newspaper in Nebraska published in an editorial recently copy of a circular let fer sent hv wholesalers to the retail trade of Omala advising them that "pursuant to the new tariff adopted by our government, all em- broideres and faces will increase in value in proportion to the following rates" and these rates showed increases raneing from 60 to 90 per cent. The importers have proceeded to advance the rates on their goods from two to three times as much as the rates had been ad- vanced in the tariff law, and that despite the fact that under the Democratic law which was repealed their profits had been extortionate and far greater than comprehended in the in creased rates.
 Of course if people insist on having import ed goods the importers will continue to bunk them; but the argument of the anti-protection- ists that the Fordney- McCumber law would bar European products is shown to be as false as most Democratic argument.

P. o. COMPTOMETERS

Tie business basis on which the Post Office Department is now being conducted is illus trated in the recent installation of computing and tabulating machines in many of the large offices. These machines not only make all computations and bookkeeping more accurate but much more rapid. Every bank uses these inventions and there is no less need for them in postoffices There is no reason why the government should be behind private enter prise in adopting labor-saving and time saving devices. Moreover, accuracy is just as import ant i'll public business as in private business.
