We are losing our European
markets because they can't
buy, or won't buy. We do not
sell to Europe, but TO human
beings in Europe. If We had
those human beings here In the
United States we wopid sell TO
them. And our only salvation
at the moment Is that we for
tunately have ! hundred mill
lion, here to whom we CAN
sell, with whom we do trade.
There could be no greater mis-
fortune than laws that shut out
immigration Of the right kind.
We are shutting our doors at .
time when millions Of the best
types of immigrants would
come, Italians, Germans, Irish,
Scotch, Russians, Bulgarians,
endless others.
With five hundred millions
of population here. educated,
trained, in process of time, this
country would need to fear no
attack from the outside, would
not need to worry about outside
markets. We would produce
FOR each other and sell TO each
other. II 100, 900 mean pros
perity, would not 500,000.00

The mark may fall, indenpni-
ties hang heavy over Germany's

with German business men. They

The use Of Oriental labor to
produce goods to undersell West
yern markets will be one Of the
next important and dangerous
steps in world competition.
Hiram johnson Of California
made speech on the Horsepower
treaty yesterday that ought to
convert some Senators. 1t is
curious that the Senate cannot
get definite information as to
who wrote the treaty. And, as
Borah and johnson pointed out,
Il is particularly amazing to find
that before our representatives
signed the treaty they insisted on
a modification or reservation and
signed that first.
The part of the treaty that
ought to interer Hiram Johnson
and everybody else on the West
coast is that forbidding us to
protect ourselves from Asiatic
attack by fortifying the Philip
pines and Guam.
Why does japan object to our
fortifying Guam? She would not
object If she had no idea Of ag-
gression on this side Of the
Pacific.
= Mary Roberts Rinehart, intelli-
gent young woman, says: "No
woman over thirty should wear
the knee-length skirt, for the
mature leg is not beautiful"
The Venus of Milo was fully
thirty. Many of the young ladies
that you see turning back somer-
saults in the circus or marching
jauntily in the chorus are past
thirty.
Mary Roberts Rinehart is mis-
taken. Nothing in Nature is per-
feet until 1t is mature.
