of them to each passport Health, morals,
financial security-all are patiently and with
fierce determination established. What Is it
then? One explains our system Of quotas to
then but mathematical equation is utterly
useless to still these passionate inquiries
The fact of the matter is that, though the
Dillingham; bill provided beautiful formula,
it provided no machinery for putting the for
mula through. The snarl Of excess quota cases
at Ellis Island grows thicker every day. The
immigration officials blame the steamship
companies for bringing them in but the steam
ship company has smooth and perfectly un-
assailable alibi to get behind. No steamship
ticket can be sold until PASSPORT has been
obtained and vised at the American consulate
Of each country. The consular Offices of each
country apparently have no machinery for
combining to know the exact number of vises
they are still free to grant. The situation is
complicated by the fact that in the two months
preceding Tue passage OK the restrictive lr1rn1
grafton law there was stampede all through
Europe for passports, and these were vised
wholesale at all American consulates The
steamship companies are we'll within their
right if they sell passage tickets on these vises
Of course, the law may penalize them for
bringing over these supernumeraries, it may
fine them and charge them with the return of
the unwanted aliens. 1t may censure them
publicly, but their moral position remains
slightly the more advantageous one.
The old days of steamship exploitation are
over Here and there corrupt steamship Of
fetal, working with corrupt government Of
fetal, may combine to prey on a credulous
peasant, but these cases are notably rare.
Every immigrant has now some realistic COM
prehension of what America is-he has put
away his childike notion of an Ell Dorado. He
has realistic comprehension of the hardships
through which he must pass to get to America
and grimly provides for all that he can fore

quota cases is that they are perfectly regular
and official tragedies
If the immigrants elemental, individual
sense of justice does not comprehend at all the
perfect official justice of his case he may be
excused. He has been hustled along through
many official corridors, he has been inspect
ed and checked and fumigated so many times
that it is little wonder that he has nothing but
blank stare left for the most astonishing
event Of all. If one could penetrate the fright
and amazement and misery one might learn
much.
AS, for instance where in the first place he
finds the money to bring him over. Official
fees, vses, railroad fare-it costs each alien
$500 to $400 to come even by steerage. 1t has
cost deported family of father, mother and
three children about 81 900. 1t costs, reckoned
in the money of the land, an untold number of
lei or kronen rubles. 1t is money for which
every stick and stone of property, every dear
est possession has been sold. They do not risk
it lightly. They have every assurance that
government wax and tape can give them that
the way is open before them-until they stub
their toes against the final barrier.
To what do they go back?
"Their cases are too disastrous to talk
about" said welfare worker on the island
They have sold everything to come here.
great many come with money sent them by
their relatives. They have no homes to go
back to- and often no friends. They re-
turned to the port of embarkation, and many
of them, not having the money to go from the
port to their homes, never get any further
than that"
1t is perhaps not the part of the government
to worry what becomes of John Wiezler. seven

ty-one years old, who arrived on the Carmania
November % to live with a son and daughter
who waited for him anxously. Just what goes
on in the soul of the old peasant who has never
been out of his village, who sells the farm that
has been in the family for centuries to come
over half the world to see his children and is
turned back on the threshold, is no part Of
what an immigration official must know.
STILL the life of an immigration official these
days is not to be enved. The one who had
the little snub- Jugo-Slav boy in tow last
Saturday hated his job as much as any man
could The little Jugo-Slav wept quietly and
wiped his blue eyes with a ragged sleeve, and
the official shifted his quid and looked straight
ahead and swore steadily, as he led the way
to the tug that was to take the boy back.

The government tug was filled with weep
ing immigrants. Two girls, pale and pretty
and frightened, sat holding each others hands
tightly. Their aunt, woman Of some educa-
tion, gave fiery account of their plight. She,
too, was being sent back.

with their eight-months- old child, born in Con-
stantinople. The same boat brought Moische
Shipgue and his wife, Ida, whose ten-months-
old child also was born in Constantinople
while the family we're on their way here.
For short time the cases bafled the Off
Gals. The parents, born in Russia, were ELI

tlnople and arriving in excess Of the Turkish
quota, were not. BY triumphant Gilbertian
solution the answer was clear. The parents
could come in The babies would have to be
deported
Nor did people foresee the possible absurd
ity that people might believe themselves to be
OF one nationality and by political changes
too recent to be understood belong to another

question Of what quota they came under
might be deep mystery even to immigration

A long previous residence in this country is
no guaranty Of admission to returning immi-
grant. Louis Farkas, who worked as day
laborer in the steel mills of Pennsylvania for
nine years, went back to visit his aged father
and mother and found the doors shut in his
face when he returned-though a wife and
family here are waiting for him.
But-and this is quite the most painful part
of the snarl--the immigration bill has
trved as many surprises for the official as it
has for the alien. The clause which says that
nationality shall be determined by place of
birth has kept the immigration Bureau in Diff
fcultes from the beginning. One of the earli-
Walter Davis an officer in the British Royal
Flying Corps, served to place the immigration
Bureau in an exceedingly ridiculous situation.
Davis was born in Egypt, while his father,
soldier, was garrisoned there. The infant,
Walter, left Egypt with his parents when he
was five years old and never saw it again.
Still, he had to be figured as Egyptian and
the Egyptian quota was full He would have
been quietly deported if his loud protests had
not brought the manifest absurdity of the stu
alton to the attention of Washington. One Of
Mr. Daviss pithiest protests is preserved in
the archives "If had been born in stable,'
he asked would l be horse?"
And so complete is the confusion, so world
wide and deep is the decentralization Of all rea-
sonabe gauges for judgment, that it is pre-
cisely to that ridiculous standard that the de-
partment can cling for safety. 1t is precisely
because the immigration authorities did not
recognize the muddle that the newly cre-
sted national boundaries in Europe have ere
New-York tribune., 1922-01-15

and one in the south has become Jugo-Slav.
and that these newly created or newly inflated
states are not fairly represented by quotas
based on the existing number Of residents
Nor does it take into consideration the fast
that in innumerable instances the alien himself
does not know that he is now of different ma
tionality. He is of Hungarian stock, he speaks
only Hungarian, and when he wants pass
port he tramps stolidly on to Budapest
1t may be that he is Czecho-Slovak now
and should receive his passport from Prague
The Rumanian and Jugo-Slav quotas, for in
stance, were much later in filling than the
Hungarian quota, and the Czecho- Slovakian
quota is still unexhausted. 1t may be that IL
the alien knew his true national status he
would be spared much on entering. His igno-
rance, however, works disaster on no one more
completely than on himself.
But the peasant of Central Europe Is not
alone in his ignorance. These large, vague
newly created boundaries all over Europe have
left much in doubt. All along the new nation
al lines lie debatable lands, and where boun-
Diary line drives straight through town even
the town officials are hard put to it to Judge on
which side man belongs. The aged husband
and wife born in villages not five miles apart,
who speak one and the same language may not
care much that one is suddenly become an Ital-
ian and the other Austrian. They probably
go on speaking the same language and thinking
the same thoughts, regardless of the new map
Of Europe-until they arrive at Ellis Island
and find that the doors are open to one and
shHt to the other.
The quotas now exhausted are Africa, Aus
trala, Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Jugo-
Slavia, Other Asia, Other Europe. Palestine,
Poland, Portugal New Zealand, Spain, Syria
and Turkey. A defect in the communications
appears to make an immediate st8p in the com-
ing Of aliens of this nationality impossible.
They continue to come in diminishing numbers
for weeks and sometimes months after the
quotas have been filled.
Whether we have any responsibility to these
supplicants, whether the Dillingham; law can
be made elastic enough to include them, ia
problem that clamors loudly for solution.
