The Balance of Immigration

Senator Colt, of Rhode Island, as
chairman of the Senate Committee
on Immigration, is entitled to speak
with authority about the effects of
the new immigration law upon the
composition Of the foreign popula-
ton of this country.
He points out that the figures of
incoming and outgoing aliens dur
ing the first year of the application
of the per cent quota law show
two interesting tendencies. The
first is the apparently permanent
character of the northern and west
ern European immigration, and the
second is the large proportion Of
emigration among those who have
come from southern and eastern
Europe.
That the Northern races more
readily adapt themselves 10 Ameri
can conditions has long been recoc-
nized. But it is interesting to learn
that the quotas for the Northern
races. more specifically the British,
Scotch and Welsh, the Scandina
vians and the Germans, were large
" untitled. Less than 33 per cent
of the allotted number from the
United kingdom came, and ONLY 70
per cent of the Germans and about
25 per cent of the Scandinavians. In
spite Of these small numbers of ar
rivals the number of returning inml-
grants was very small, leaving

Watchfully Waiting

While there is nothing alarming

not to forget that until these trea-
ties are duly ratified by all the sig

decided upon at Washington will be
put into effect.
1t seems to be the general impress

delay has been Japan. The diff

so much direct opposition to any of
the pacts as conditions of local poll

Toxic indicates, however, that rati

week or two.
The European situation is, in real
lty, fully as complicated. In the
case of Britain ratification is
mere fornlaiity. But this fact has
not induced the British to set an OK
simple to France and Italy by TAX
ing the necessary steps. There is
evidently certain spirit of after

Britain. France, where the treaty
has never been popular. has her eye
on Russia, and England and Italy. in

There is no indication that all

More Truth Than Poetry
By James J. Montague
Belated Education

The Turks are little bit late
In starting monarchist school,
In the hope of improving the
state
By teaching their princes to
rule.
The way things are going in
Europe just now,
When a prince has been given
his training,
With knowledge Of statecraft
that bulges his brow,
There may not be very much
reigning.
Time was in the Sultan's domain
When youth who was born to
a throne
Was destined thereon to remain
Till his sovereign spirit had
flown.
No Bolshevik plotting or anar-
chist bomb
A prince from his monarchy
sundered.
They lived undisturbed, and with
never Qualm,
Till eighty or even a hundred.
But a princeling who takes his
degree
In college of Ringing to-day
Can never be sure when he'll be
Constrained to be up and away.
He may rule a month, or as much
as a year,
He may, in few feeting hours,
Discover his dreams of a sultan's
career
Dissolved by a row Of the
powers.
Far better instruct young man
Who fancies his job is to rule
In chauffing furniture van,
Or selling pilaff in Stamboul.
And then if his throne should 60
suddenly smash
He'll have reason for lively
thanksgiving,
For the means to go out and accu-
mulate cash
To meet the increased cost of
living.

you had to take her to place where

lated about institutions, public or pri-
vate, which take care of the un-
fortunates that happen to be mentally
defective. The current idea is that
these inmates are ill-fed. live in bad
abode and are matreated. Most of the
criticism comes from people who have
never been inside of an institution.
The writer has been self-invited
guest at the institution for defective
dclinquents at Napanoch, n. Y. The
State of New York could not have
made better investment. Through the
courtesy Of the superintendent, DR..
Walter n. Thayer, l had the privilege
OF seeing how the unfortunates we're
treated. Each has cozy small room
(not prison CELL. The food is excel
lent and always fresh. American games
are played in the open. The place is
kept clean and the site is beautiful.
AS we walked around the inmates
were glad to see DR.. Thayer and to shake
his hand. They were glad to see his
smiling face and to hear a friendly
word
If every institution were kept as we'll
as that of Napanoch there would be
very little criticism. This is not an
apology for Napanoch. only an invita-
ton to those who are not acquainted
with such institutions to visit before

Russia's Other Voice

The only vital institution in Rus
STA is the Red army. Fighting is
the only Russian industry which
has not gone TO rack and ruin. OBJ
servers of the Moscow reviews re-
port that the soldiers are we'll fed,
well clothed. march with the goose
step and are excellently disciplined.
There is a good reason for this.
The Red army is the sole prop of
the Bolshevist dictatorship. 1t holds
the nation in terror and enforces on
the people the miseries Of COMMIT
nism from which it is itself largely
exempt. Favorable living conditions
make the army a desirable place of
refuge for the officers and the men.
AS the all important instrument of
Soviet tyranny the army cannot be
excluded from the special privileges
which the Communist inner circle
Of officials arrogate to themselves
Trotzky, the Soviet Secretary Of
Wa, believes in the militant future
Of Communism. He would alter the
relations Of Russia TO the rest of
Europe not by conferences but by
conquest He knows that Russian
armed force would be respected
whore Communist logic and diplo-
matte pressure would fail. He is
reported as saying to the Commu-
MIST cadet corps: Don't believe in the
Genoa speeches; trust only in your
bayonets and your batteries. Con-
ferences will not give US what we
need. This can be obtained only by
having the Red army cross the
frontiers Of capitalistic states and
the Red flag wave over the whole
of Europe
Trotzky is a realist. He means
the same thing as Tchitcherin, but
talks a different language. A vast
loan for Russia, such as the Soviet
delegates asked for at Genoa-even
private credits to Russia in return
for would help 10
strengthen the only dominant in
dustry which Communism recog-
nizes-the industry of war. Com
munism is fired with the crusad ding
spirit. 1t must fight or perish. It
cannot live on diplomatic compro-
misses
Economic aid to Russia has,
therefore. 4 political side. 1t will
strengthen 3 system bent on pros
elyting and subjugahon. 1t will
stimulate the lslamic fervor of So
vietlsm. Economic aid on large
scale threatens, in fact, to undo
what the projectors of such relief
have IN mlnd-namely, the pacifca-
ton and economic restoration of
Europe.
Tchitcherin is leaving Genoa, trail
ING fatterlng promises and soothing
phrases behind him. But sovietism
has another voice-the voice Of
Trotzky. 1t is voice to which
Europe must also listen.

The Easiest WAY

'Mlther, SAID young Scot, II
think / have call for the meenis-
try To which the mother replied
Are We no sure it wasna some ither
noise ye heard?"
The possibility that 1t was some
other noise he heard instead of a
call from the people Of New York
State seems to be troubling Mr..
Hearst. On the eve of his de-
parture to visit his beloved England,
Mr.. Hearst has given Mr.. Hylan
reason to hope that he (Mr Hylan)
is the man Mr.. Hearst really wants
the Democrats to nominate.
Mr.. Hearst has tasted defeat and
found it bitter. The voice of the
people, which he fancied he heard in
California, was Of lower audibility
when he got to New York. Alone
among multitude of Democrats
Mr.. William J. Corners was calling
for him, and Mr. Corners does not
always control his own election dis
trict in Buffalo.
So Mr.. Hearst has allowed Mr..
Hylan to hope. And unless Mr..
Conners's murmur should swell to
Democratic outcry by the time Mr..
Hearst returns from abroad Mr..
Hylan may get the nomination
after all.
Nothing will be lost to Mr.. Hearst
by the substitution save the honor
of holding public Office. He can
still indulge his taste for foreign
travel and his JOY in the society of
the white-faced Herefords on his
California ranch. He can still give
attention to his newspapers, know
ing that Mr.. Hylan will be as faith
full to him as Governor as he has
been as Mayor.
Mr.. Hearst's campaign speeches,
should he enter the race, would be
highly reminiscent of the editorials
IN the Hearst newspapers. So would
Mr Hylan's We're he the candidate
Mr.. Hearst's policies, in the re-
mote event Of his election, would
be attacks on every one who disap-
proves of him. Such have been Mr.,
Hyan's policies as Mayor. and
such, we may presume, would be his
policies as Governor.
In all Mr.. Hearsts political ca
reer Mr.. Hylan has been his only
officeholding friend who has contin.
ued to admire and obey him. If Mr..
Hearst could get Mr. Hylan elected
ne would enjoy all the powers of
the governorship, with none Of
the labor. 1t is a tempting prospect.
Of course his lifelong ambition
to be elected to something or other
would be temporarily postponed
But lnasmuch as it is generally be-
lleVed that Mr.. Hearst aspires to
the governorship only because this
doesn't happen to be a Presidential
year perhaps this could be borne.
Anyway, if any Democratic can
dldate Is going to be defeated this
year Mr.. Hearst would prefer that
1t should be Mr.. Hylan rather than
himself. 1t is bad luck to get de-
feated for office three times hand
running.
