ed new difficulties.
-Four aspects of the Governments
present immigration difficulties are
covered IN this report. The first is
tine TO be admitted, the Sec
ond is the principle and method OF
selection, the third is the distribut-
ton of immigrants after their ar
rival in this country, and the fourth
Is thelr assimilation into American
national and industrial life.
Law Based On False Fears
AS to the 3 per cent quota law,
the report asserts hat some of the
theories that led to its enactment
were based on false fears. This
country was not about to be overrun
by hordes of Europeans and there
was no occasion for a%nyone's get
ng excited over that alleged menace
BESIDES 1t is stated, the conditions
that prevailed in Europe when the
law was passed do not necessarily
exist today, or are but transitory.
OF all the countries of Europe.
Italy is shown to have the most SER
ious emigration problem, and the
government there is endeavoring to
work out a solution. With 3S,OOO,-
0O0 people living in an area smaller
than the State of California, the re-
port says the necessity for an outlet
is obvious and the Italian movement
TO TINS country has been reduced
lour-ffths by the percentage law.
In fact, says the report, at an
pears n a the percentage limit has
lntenslfled the problem in countries
where it was already most acute.
Inc question now arises, should the
united states continue a policy which
produces hardship where the need
Is greatest? How many of Europe's
~dlt1culties can be removed by in
creased emigration? Can there he
permanent prosperity in Europe if
the populations of certain countries
continue to keep ahead of economic
resources? If emigration offers n
solution to this problem would the
decision to admit more eligible Eu-
ropeans be an entirely selfish stem %
This last question is answered by
a counter-question to the effect that
II increased emigration to the United
states would help to stabilize con-
dltfons in some of the European
countries ave to a slight degree.
would it not also result in a larger
market for American goods. i~ncreas-
ed production here and increased
capacity to absorb new supplies of
labor.
Statistics and charts In the re-
port show the rapid rise during the
last half century in immigration
from southern and eastern Europe
which, however, has been reduced
by the new law. In this connection
the mental tests as published by
Princeton University are cited. which
tend to show that the average of
Intelligence is declining as a result
largely of the proportionately larg-
,er immigration in recent years from
those sections of Europe.
In final comment on the percen-
tage method of restricting immi-
grafton the report says that "lmmi-
grafton problem is fundamentally so
human a problem and the existing
knowledge regarding the inherent
value and possibility of assimilation
of foreign stocks is so seanty and
controversial that the effectiveness
of selection through the more or less
accidental method Of percentage linn
itation is seriously open to question A."

Memorial
Is Addressed
to Coolidge
"To President CoolIdge;

ITO President Coolidge:
observance of law is the fun
damental basis OF American citi-
zenship. Enforcement If the law
is the primary duty OF every Of
fetal.
National prohibition is now by
constitutional amendment the
law of the land.
''An overwhelming majority Of
the citizens Of the United States
are law-abiding and deslrous Of
the enforcement Of law.
THE national Government
alone has control of the man
ufacture of intoxicants and a
very special obligation to perform
in prohibiting the importation
into this country of wines and
spurious liquors contrary to the
individual States are powerless to
act in these respects. Therefore,
the national Government should
exercise its full power and au-
thority IN dealing with these
questions.
I'VE believe that the chief ex-
ecutive of every State should be
Jealous in the enforcement of the
prohibition law, and should
urge upon every State official a
strict observance and enforce
ment of the same; and
We believe the State and Fed
eral officers should cooperate
fully in preventing the violation
of our prohibition law in making
effective the will Of our people
in regard to this enforcement.
New conditions impose new re-
sponsibilities. People who violate
one law will the more readily be
guilty Of violating other laws.
Therefore, the individual States
should share with the Federal
Government the duty and respon-
sibility of enforcing the Eight
enth Amendment.
I'VE pledge you as Governors
our fullest cooperation in this
effort"

The Sinclair colt broke out with
blotches Thursday. A committee from
the Jockey Club inspected Zev after
a brisk workout this morning and de-
cided TO await arrival of Admiral
Carey T. Grayson's Ny Own, when It
may be decided to substitute the latter
in the big race My Own Is being
shipped from Laurel, Md.
Maj. August Belmont made the fol-
lowing statement:
''Zev did not work well on wednes-
day, running with his head somewhat
to one side. Upon examination yes
terday 1t was found the horse had de-
veloped hlotches. possibly hives.
"It was only natural we should
have My Own at land in case any
thing happens TO Zev.
''The selection committee this morn.
ing examined Sinclair,s horse and
felt Zev was not in shape to do his
best.
VIII Inspect My Own
''The question OF substituting My
Own. who is en- route and expected
about 8 p. m, the committee decided
to inspect this horse also before COM
Ing to a definite decision.
1.-The final decision will be an
nounced at p. M
The news of Zev's ailment, which
did not interfere with his reeling off
a brisk half-mile this morning in
forty-seven seconds, came as the most
sensational Of the developments lead
ing up to the big match.
D.
peared fit for the stiffest kind of a
race and his British handlers indicated
he would certainly go to the barrier
against My Own If the substitution is
made
Basil Jarvis, the derby winners
trainer, said he wanted a look at the
contract, but that he believed it pro-
vided for Papyrus meeting whatever
3.year-old the Jockey Club committee
should select.
Weather Rainy and Cold
The weather for the race bids fair
to be rainy and cold after the fashion
of Papyrus' homeland. In a state
ment which the harried Jarvis said he
hoped it might be his last before the
race. the trainer said the English
horse now was ready to give him his
best no matter what the weather.
The selection committee of the
Jockey Club, after looking over Zev,
left the Rancocas stable and returned
to New York. Later in the day they
will come again to Belmont Park to
see My Own.
The attitude and the announcement
that they intended inspecting My Own
before deciding upon which horse shall
represent America in Saturdays race
left no doubt of their misgivings as
| to Zev's condition.
S'If Ny Own is in good shape"
Chris j. Fitzgerald, personal represen-
tative Of August Belmont! said, sit is
probable that there will be an an
nouncement Of a change in the Amer
lean contender"
