The best class of immigrants has
come to America in this year OF IT'S
history. The British quota is going
to be filed, the Swiss and Belgian
quotas are already used up, the Swed-
ish will be in June. the French VIII
perhaps be about Is per cent used, and
the Dutch quota will be filled with a
new emigration OF farmers. In this
connection attention is called to Z54
Norwegians and Swedes who came ov-
er in our ships last week. They showed
customs inspectors cash. notes and let
tiers Of credit totaling about Sl,OOO.OOO.
Some rode first class, some second,
and others steerage.
These Scandinavians went thru the
tests without difficulty,
showing a high level of intelligence.
The proposed changes in the law, 1t
IS said. will increase the number OF
this type of immigrant.

GAMBLING IN SUGAR

Trading in futures in the necessities
of life is the sport and vocation OF
gentlemen" Nevertheless. the Gov
erment believe it to be a harmful
amusement. and the New York Coffee
and Sugar Exchange has been hauled
into court to explain how they in
creased the price OF raw and refined
sugars two or three cents pound
to consumers. In view OF the fact that
the tradngs on the Exchange cover
larger volume OF sugar than the stocks
in existence, it would be unseless to
deny that the Exchange was not en-
gagged in gambling in these articles OF
food AS a matter of fact that allcga-
ton is admitted. and defended. Out
sugars bought and sold on the ex-
change during February only 800 tons
had actually been delivered. The rest
evidently was not sugar at all-it re-
presented bets And these bets were
more effectual in establishing sugar
prices. for which the public had TO pay
than the actual transfers in the COM
modtics themselves. The Govern
ment's objection does not apply part
iculariy to the swapping of few mil
lion dollars worth OF paper sugar" back
and forth by the sugar gamblers. and
if they were only winning and losing
to one another no noe would care a
great deal. Blu, their processes have
extracted millions OF dollars from the
American public. Therefore the public
is crying to the Government for help.
The hoplessness OF it all is shown in
the negatives results that the Govern
ment obtains, at the time OF crisis in
peak prices. The women of the country
have been Illustrating the power of
the boycott. and since the highest Of
iicials in the land recognize the mpor-
tence OF their own methods they have
given unofficial endorsements to the
women who instituted the boycott.
