UNWELCoME IMMIGRANTS

From "The immigration Problem by Roy L.
CARTS, in the September Scribner's.
But the fundamental and vital reason is that
the present stream of immigrants flows largely
from portions of Europe where the institutions
and people are so different from our own that
great social damage would result without care
full restriction.
It is this new immigration that we fear and
desire to restrict and, if possible even to elm
mate. 1t is this new immigration that has al
ready exhausted its quotas long before the
fiscal year is out. What is the solution accept
able to us and to the nations of Europe? The
logical answer seems to be to keep the per
cent of the number of foreign-born persons Of
each nationality resident in the United States
as determined by the United States census of
1890 instead Of 1910 or 1920. This is simple
yet practical solution based on historical
facts. The machinery is already in operation
and the nations of Europe have expressed their
willingness to cooperate with us when we
make known our policy. On January 8, 1921,
the Secretary of State notified the House COM
mitteel on immigration that s'ths Italian gov
eminent has suspended the issuance Of pass
ports to subjects emigrating to the United
States, and will refrain from issuing such pass
ports until informed as to the classes Of inn
migrants desired in this country"
Such plan would reduce the immigrants
from southern and eastern Europe to few
thousands each year, while 1t would admit vir-
tually all Of those from western Europe who
might desire to come, yet the total from Eu-
rope would be very small Provision could be
made to admit students, just as exceptions are
made in favor of such persons from China and
Japan. Such law would certainly meet with
public approval, and would be free from prac-
tically all the objections to our former and
present policies

GOD GIVE US MEN

BY J. G. Holland.
God give us men. The time demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and
willing hands;
Men whom the lust of office does not kill;
Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and will;
Men who have honor; men who will not lie;
Men who can stand before demagogue
And damn his treacherous batteries without
winking;
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the
fog
In public duty and In private thinking!

REFUeEhARboR
REQUESTHEARD


The tri-citfes are represented at
the hearing conducted by Major
Beverley c. Dunn. head Of the Rock
Island district U. s. engineers. at
Nauvoo today, by Captain Walter
A Blair OF Davenport. A request
was made for q harbor Of refuge
in Lake Cooper. near Keokuk.
So large is the lake that up
stream winds make navigation very
dangerous, river men say. Only
last April the Keokuk was swamp
ed while tied up at Nauvoo. The
/ sWells in the lake caused by winds
make the handling Of steamers q
matter Of hazard. At the lower enc
POI Lake Cooper the water is Al
feet 6eep.
!, Three possible sites have beer
suggested for a harbor and it i!
| said that a small amount Of govern
ment work could create a safe an
choring place for boats while
waiting to pass through the grea'
; locks of the Keokuk dam.
One of these is at the lower enc
of Nauvoo, the present steamboat
landing. The second is at the up
per end OF the town, and the thirt
is across the river opposite Nauvoo
Inasmuch as the government
built a harbor of refuge in LAX
Pepin, 60 miles south of Nauvoo
where there were natural places O
fair shelter, it is the opinion o
river men that the government will
probably accede to their request TO
a harbor in Lake Cooper.
Major Dunn conducted the Nau
VOC hearing this morning and thi
afternoon was engaged in conduct
ing a hearing at Dallas City. wher
river improvements are desired
