the world best worth living in" Re-
gardless of the details of the measure.
the Milwaukee Sentinel holds that
Its principles is an indication of the
temper of the American people. 1t
makes the American nationality and
the success of the melting pot the
paramount consideration to which all
others must yield. National unity in
fact and not merely in name just
now is nearest to the heart OF the
American people" This argument.
however. is disputed by the Chicago
Post. which characterizes the bill as
shell game" The trouble is there
are too many 1oopholes. The quota
| is cut down. but the cumulative effect
| will probably be far in excess of the
| number of immigrants admissible
under the present law. If the de-
mands of industry are so great as to
need the revival of our reputation as
polyglot boarding house, why not
be frank about it? Why not drop
| the subterfuge contained in the pro-
posed bill and fight 1t out along
clean cut and more open lines?
"On the surface" says the Gin
cinnati Times-Star, 'the proposed
| measure would seem more restrictive
than the old. In practice this prob
ably would not prove to be the case.
The proposal to admit the families
and close relatives of foreign born
citizens and the families of those who
intend to become citizens is danger
! Gus, in that nobody knows just how
it would work. Undoubtedly, it
would offer great opportunity for
perjury and fraud" Insisting that
| the bill cannot pass at this time the
Syracuse Herald holds that 'it would
apply the tape measure of regulation
with vengeance and it may easily
bring about net annual loss in
| the balancing of influx against out
CO." There is a large labor joker"
| in the measure. the Sioux City Jour-
! nal insists, in the provision "for the
admission without reference to quotas
! laborer, If labor of a like kind unem-
ployed cannot be found in this coun-
try. The persons interested would
| be. of course, those representing the
industrialists now already determined
, to import large numbers of work
ers. if permitted under the law to do
SO. This feature of the bill damns
itself, and Congress should not pass
the measure until the joker is ex-
cluded."
The Boston Transcript would have
such restrictions as are practiced
based upon occupational standards,
| rather than upon racial prohibitions.
and also upon q thorough examination
| of all intended emigrants in the coun-
try of their origin" If this were
done, the Waterman Standard holds,
"it would give a better class of i'm
| migrants and would be worth the
| cost. A saving would result. New
York state. for instance, in the last
three years has paid out $13,0O0,O0O
| for the care of alien insane" And,
! no matter what else is included,
some protection for the working
any such law, as the Little Rock
Democrat sees it.

Redistribution Blocked Again.

After some days of reinsurance to
the effect that the reclassification bill,
now in the last stage of congressional
consideration, would be shaped by
compromise for final passage before
adjournment, has come the distressing
word that the way has been blocked
by failure to agree upon the terms.
Conferences have been hurriedly call
ed at the White House and at the
Capitol to the end of smoothing out
the differences. Hope is revived that
these meetings may be effective and
that the bill will be passed.
1t would be u most lamentable mis-
fortune if insistence upon particular
formula for reclassfication should
block legislation. The government
would suffer pecuniarily and in eff
cheney. The departmental service
would suffer in morale. Several years
have passed since the reclassification
commission reported. years that have
been marked by maneuvers designed,
it is feared, to thwart progress. per-
haps to maintain things as they are.
possibly to insure an eventual turning
into another and quite different line
of procedure.
Justice to the government employees
who have been sustained in spirit by
the hope of action toward reclassifica-
tion demands enactment. Justice to
the government, whose interests are
prejudiced by delay. also demands ac-
tion. If this bill does not pass with
its accompanying appropriative pro-
visions, it will he necessary to con-
tinue the bonus for another year, else
the government will be put in the po.
sition Of actually reducing the COM
pensation of the already underpaid
employees without any corresponding
reduction in the cost of living.
Putting the matter on its lowest
terms, it is in the last degree uneco-
nomical to lose this chance OF enact
ment, after so many months of expen-
sive research and preparation. simply
because the provisions recommended
and already approved by the House of
Representatives do not conform to the
conception of reclassification enter
tanned in other quarters.

instructions. We need men who know

and commercial relations, who are, In
short, specialists in international ar
fairs.
Much gain has been effected over
the old conditions when the consular
aud diplomatic services We're peri
odicaUy' "purged of partisans" and re-
manned. There is a much greater de-
gree of permanence in the organiza.
tion. But still the service lacks in the
essentials of properly permanent
force maintained on a non-political
basis of the highest efficiency.
One of the essentials of such
force, representing the United States
in all of its interests, political and
commercial, is an assurance OF op-
portunity. That opportunity for de-
velopment and advancement within
the service will be given If the bill
now pending in the Senate becomes a
law. 1t offers a career for young
Americans to adopt with assurance
OF advancement and adequate compen-
sation, retention on the basis OF
faithful performance and finally re-
tirement upon sustaining annuity.
Despite the final congestion OF the
Senate calendar, there is surely some
way to secure consideration of this
hill. so meritorious. so highly recon-
mended, SO near to final passage ana
so certain to work greatly to the
benefit of the government.

Recognition of Russia.

Yesterdays debate in the Senate on
the question of the recognition OF the
soviet government of Russia was SIM
ply a thrashing over of old straw, so
there is no occasion for surprise that
little was WinnoWed in the way OF new
facts. Senator Borah, in making his
demand for forthwith recognition OF
the government at Moscow, advances
the familiar argument that the soviet,
being the only functioning govern
meut in Russia and having maintain
ed itself in power for number OF
Years, IS entitled to be admitted into
the council of world governments on
an equal footing. Because we do not
like the form of government. he con-
tends, is no reason why we should re-
fuse to do business with it. He argues
that the main concern should be as 10
the ability OF Russia TO meet her IN
ternational obligations, and he be-
l:eves that Russia, with her vast nat
ural resources, is in position to do
this.
The Idaho senator is not only on
sound but is on undisputed ground
in his argument, so far as his argu'
ment goes The trouble is that his
argument does not go far enough To
get at the heart of the matter. 1t is
true that America does not like the
form of the Moscow government, but
that is not the reason American recog-
milton of it is withheld. Nor is recog-
milton withheld because of doubt as to
the ability of that government to meet
it's international obligations. We are
maintaining relations of the utmost
friendliness with some governments
which we feel sure never will be able
to fulfill their international obliga-
tions. But these nations do not bra
zenly proclaim that they are not bound
by these obligations, that they are at
libertyNto repudiate them whenever 1t
is to their interest to do so.
Would Senator Borah have dealings
with a man who announced openly
that his plighted word meant nothing
that he would keep faith when it was
to his advantage and break it other
wise? That is the officially proclaimed
attitude of the soviet government to-
ward other nations. and that is the
reason why American recognition has
not been and cannot be extended. Sen
ator Borah complains that Russia has
I,,f hn f.,n OF iS that Rt1S.
sid, through it's government, has out
lawed itself. Let Russia formally re-
scind this announcement of interna-
tional policy, and let her works show
that her words are sincere, and it is
unlikely that American recognition of
the soviet government would be long

On Foreign Service.

One of the bills of high merit which
have been caught in the end-of- the.
session jam at the Capitol is that
known as the Rogers bill for the re.
organization and Improvement Of the
foreign service of the United States
This bill has passed the House and
is now pending in the Senate. 1t has
the unqualified support of the Presi
dent and the Secretary Of State and
is pronounced by all who have at
heart the interest and welfare Of the
diplomatic and consular services as a
most practicable and effective measure
for the betterment of that service ever
brought before Congress.
Should this bill become law il
will achieve a great advantage to the
government in providing a foreign
service adequate to its urgent and
recognized needs, and will at the same
time constitute a great relief and in
centive to the personnel Of the service

The George Washington Temple.

Progress is making on the George

that commanding height west of Alex
andria variously called Shooters Hill
and Shutters Hill. The foundation is
being laid and money for the impress
sive patriotic and architectural prof.
ect is coming in. The current Of gold,
silver, currency and checks is not rum
ming as strong as it might, but the
association reports that during the
year 100000 in cash has come to it's
treasury to be expended in this most
praiseworthy undertaking. All told,
a million dollars has been paid in and
pledges for 100000 have been &C..
cured, leaving a balance Of 1900, 900.
Americans will not allow the con-
struction of this memorial to lag for
