Government will not survive ninety days

Erskine Childers and other Republicans.
Mr.. Halligan, who recently was re-
leased from a British Jail in Ireland,
took part in the Four Courts battle In
Dublin last summer. He characterized
himself as the only man now free who
was Intimately associated with O'Con-

Is now being acted upon. adding that
the Free State will not last ninety days

Washington. ID. c., Dec. II.
Commissioner of immigration Hus-
band believes the immigration quota law
should be modified to relieve the existing
labor shortage In this country. He is
opposed to lifting the bars entirely. but
thinks men necessary to fill industrial
needs should be let in if they have
qualities Of desirable citizens.
ut is assumed" said Mr.. Husband
in. a statement to-day to the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States, that
the present quota law has reduced to a
safe minimum the Incoming. of those
people who for one reason or another
are not sufficiently valuable to the
United States. A reduction of the per-
centage would further limit this class,
but II this is done means should be
taken to prevent these additional re-
strictions applying to the ones, whom
every one would welcome to the coun-
try"
Mr.. Husbands reference to further
reduction" referred to efforts Of Chair
man johnson Of the House Immigration
Committee, who 10 preparing a biIl to

States in 1910.
II am inclined to the opinion" said
Mr.. Husband. that it would be possible
to continue the basis number of irnmi-
grants and then provide for modi1ca-
tons which would meet the actual needs
Of the country. We might develop ad
ministrative machinery which would
serve to invite those actually needed.
whether for farming, industry or other
activity in the United States.
I'VE should determine not only the
extent of the need but also who are the
most desirable people to fill that need
and permit them to enter. One of the
changes / have in mind is the creation
OF some system under which available
supplies Of labor in foreign countries
would be constantly communicated 10
our Government, in order that when
there is in the United States an honest
demand for labor. Of certain kind we
know where TO turn to. fill the need.
This plan would not be confined to in
dustrial labor but ought to include ali
needs of States for settlers or farm
labor or whatever activity is under
manned or could be wisely extended" p
In support OF modification of the law
for industrial purposes Mr. Husband
pointed out that during the fiscal year
of 1922 309,556 immigrants were ad-
mitted, while 19S,712 departed from this
country, leaving an excess OF imnigra-
ton of only 110,SS4.
I'm the last fiscal year" said Mr. Hus-
band, 100000 aliens entered the United
States who in their own country had
been laberers, skilled and unskilled and
servants and $4,000 who had followed
like occupatiOns in the limited States
left the country, so that practically moth
ing was added TO the industrial man

the Veterans Bureau at Washington. be-
fore joint conference of national and
State executives of the Veterans of For

In the conference were the members
of the national council OF administra-
tion and the department commanders of
the veterans Organization.
Immediately following Col Forbess
address and discussion which resulted
in strong approval OF sales tax, the
executives unanimously adopted reso-
luton indorsing a sales tax with food
stuffs exempted, as means of raising
tho necessary revenue to finance the
bonus
G. Hamilton Cook, Buffalo. national

said his organization would take immed-
ate action to support the resolution.
The American. Legion, which IS the
largest of the veterans organizations,
was not represented at the meeting.
"This means that the bonus bill is
likely to be passed at the coming seq
sion of Congress-" Col T. L. Huston,
New York city,. national commander of
the Veterans Of Foreign Wars, said
after the meeting
Colonel Forbes called President Har-
ding by telephone before going into the
conference. and in the course of his
address referred to his conversation with
the President.
5 Il called him up because 1t was sug
gested to me that the bonus might be
touched upon," he said. II wish you
knew the pulse of Harding. / wish
YOU knew his innermost thoughts. /
wish you knew how he loves the ex-
service men.
Y Harding is not opposed to a bonus,
~ they will provide means for financ-
been sought. All sorts Of means have
been mentioned. And the most simple
means of all those that have been
brought to my attention is the sales tax
TO meet this obligation.
"If Congress had brought to the
President the solution of the financial
problem of this additional financial re-
sponsibility he would have signed the
bill. | believe the sales tax is the
means whereby this obligation may be
paid and the sales tax Is the answer
to the problem of paying the bill"

William r. Pugsley of New Brunswick,
speaking at q dinner to Sir Henry
Thornton, advised the new head of the
Canadian National Railways to get rid
Of portions Of the Grand Trunk which
had terminals in American cities.
Sir Henry will be confronted" Pugs-
ley said. "by the fact that he has been
called upon to take charge of system
which Is supposed to be a Canadian rail-
way system, but which has some 1900
miles In the United States. My view is
that the only way to solve his problem to
the satisfaction of the people of this
country is to get rid of that part Of our
railway which has Chicago as Its west
