thus enforcing a perpetual snort
age. The damage grows worse with
the days.
AS for the argument regarding
the number of workers that are
still unemployed in this country.
there is no chance of making day
labor out OF them. They are skilled
workers. Either they will work in
their own skilled or special trade or
they will hunt for work in other
skilled or special trades. And It is
a fact that much OF such employ
ment as exists today is in part due
to the shortage OF fundamental
labor, which, by preventing general
industry from doing all It could DO
IL there were an adequate supply of
fundamental labor to take care of its
needs, would have more situations
to offer skilled and special labor.
And this does not mean, impera~
tive as is the need OF the country for
the labor to do its fundamental work,
that Inc gates must be thrown wide
open to everybody. On the contrary
there is no reason why anybody that
is not needed should be let in, why
anybody that is not fit 10 live and
work here should be let in. We don't
want tho parasites; we don't want
the useless. But the country must
have the labor, of the right physical
and moral fber, to do ITS work.

The controversy between John

ity for the unfortunate reparation
provisions of the Versailles Treaty

point. Mr.. Dulles was one Of the

thought that the peace ought TO do
something more than satisfy the po-
litical exigencies Of the moment. He
wanted a moro concrete and real
istic settlement. So he vigorously OPP
posed the inclusion of pensions and

tai, holding. besides. that no such

The immigration problem was
laid before Congress by President
Harding several days ago. It is his
aim to get early action. but II Con-
gress does not respond promptly the
issue will still demand action. 1t will
be urged upon the attention of Con-
gress by the country.
The question will not down, be-
cause the country cannot get along
without the unskilled labor OF which
there is an acute shortage. For
the matter OF that, American skilled
labor cannot get along without the
unskilled labor which is required to
supply the materials with which
skilled labor works. cannot get
along without the fundamental labor
which is the basis OF all productive
work and service.
The country had none too much
OF this fundamental labor. before the
war when immigrants were coming
here by the hundreds of thousands
a year to do the digging and other
manual tasks on the farms, on the
railroads and in the building trades.
And the country has less OF that
fundamental labor now than It had
then. 1t has less now because not
only did the war check out immi-
grafton inflow abruptly and enor-
mously. but It drew back 10 Europe
for war service great numbers OF
our foreign population that had
been filing our day labor occupa-
tions for years. Then when the in
dustrial depression came after the
war. hundreds OF thousands more
of these foreign workers. left Amer
lea in search of living conditions
that were easier than our own for
men out of employment.
It was at such time, when the
country had been very generally
stripped OF its fundamental labor,
that Congress put up the rigid ex-
clusion bars. They shut out new
labor that was needed TO do the
work OF the country. They shut out
from returning even the labor that
had been used here and had gone
abroad again.
That IS where the damage OF the
present immigration act began-in
its shutting the doors on the only
available plain labor supply not
when there was an abundance of it
here but when there WIS none at all

duction or cancellation and leaving
ample time for national frictions to
break down the war entente.
As events were TO show, Mr.. Will
son erred in compromising on these
two points. A treaty carrying a fixed
total of 5.000,00O.O00 would have
been far better for everybody con-
cerned than the existing treaty. But
Mr.. Wilson sinned passvely. He and
Klotz and Clemenceau were really
victimized by Lloyd George. The
latter went TO Paris after winning
the khaki" election on a demand
for the Kaiser's head and payment
by Germany OF all Allied war ex-
penses. He was the chief obstacle to
a sensible reparation settlement.
Yet It has been disclosed since that
even while the treaty was being
drawn to cover his political commit
ments at home he was already man
euvering TO make the reparation
provisions a dead letter-a course
which he continued to pursue sys-
tematically from the day the treaty
was signed until he fell from power.

was especially anxious to obtain rati-
fcation of the four-power treaty. He
limited that this might not be par

would improve the relations be-

Japan, however, is going forward in
good faith in the sexecution of all
the washington treaties. and there
does not seem ito be any basis for NJ.
Poincare's assumption that Japan
would prefer to see the four-power
pact fail on the contrary, the fall
ure OF that pact would make it pos
sible to reopen questions which run
deeply into national susceptibilities.
Japanese statesmen prefer to keep
the Pacific questions a closed book,
now that they are closed. The
United States. for the sake of peace,
acquiesced in the distribution OF
former German possessions in the
Pacific according to the arrange

powers. This distribution was made
without the knowledge of the Unit
