PLEADS FOR COURT

St. Louis, June 21.-President
Harding in his first prepared speech
of the western trip placed before the
country tonight Il renewed plea for
American adherence to the Pcrma-
ncnt Court Of international Justice
"as the one and only existing agency
of peace to which we can safely sub
scribe without violating the basic
principles of our national being"
The Presidents impressions con-
corning international relationships are
necessarily founded upon official cx-
p'rienCe which can come, because Of
the duties of office, to none other ex-
CCnt the Secretary of State.
The endless problems Of foreign
relations are relatively little revealed
to the world. Most frequently they
arc more readily adjusted because
they are not revealed, though it is
fair to assure you that nothing of vi
tai importance is unduly hidden from
the people for whom the Government
speaks. Week by week, day by day,
often hour by hour there are prob
lens in our international relations
which are no more TO be avoided than
the vital questions of our own rela-
tiOnshipS at home. The citizen who
believes in aloofnoss is blind to in
esCapable obligations and insensible
to the twentieth century world order
and unmindful of our commercial in
Independence about which the mod
crn business fabric has come to be
woven"
The President said that to bring
about the end he desired he would

SEEK OPINION ON
maintenance ALIENS
AT ELLIS ISLAND

Washington, June 21-Spurred by
the attack in the British House of
Commons yesterday on methods at
Ellis Island in handling British born
immigrants, Commissioner General
Illus band OF the Immigration Service
today sought legal opinion as to
whether steamship companies could
be required under existing law to
bear the entire expense of OBTAINING
aliens at immigration stations.
Mr.. husband outlined the situa-
ton to Robert Carl White, acting
Secretary of Labor. in the following
memorandum, which was at once
forwarded to the Departments soli-
citor:
1t is estimated that the United
States Government has expended q
total of approximately $o.COOOOO in
building and equipping Ellis Island.
and except for the fact that the
station is used in part for admins
tration purposes and that a limited
| number of aliens taken on depart
mental warrants are detained there,
the entire plant is operated solely
for the benefit of transportation
companies which bring aliens to the
United States purely as CONNER
cial venture, the only financial re-
! turn to this government being the
| actual cost of meals. and since Feb
| ruary, 1922, an additional charge OF
- cents per day.
| 1T is very clear that such returns
| do not nearly cover the cost OF de-
! tanning the aliens in question and 1t
| has been estimated that the loss TO
| the government at Ellis Island alone
! is approximately $GOo0oo annually.
and the total loss at all stations APP
proXimately 81 100000 annually. In
computing this total we have taken
| into account the cost and upkeep OF
| plants. the cost of guarding aliens.
! and of all service which would be
! necessary provided transportation
| companies were required to be en-
, tirely responsible for aliens pending
| their admission or return.
| I'm view of the fore going, the
! bureau feels that it is in effect be-
| ing criticized for the character OF
| the service which is furnished in
| large part as a gratuitN to the trans
| portation companies and it is quite
/ inclined to feel that the excess de-
tention costs referred to are an UNI
| warranted expense to this govern
! ment.
/. In view of this I would be glad
| if the whole question could be sub
! mitted to the solicitor as to the
| rights and possibilities of the
! government in requiring the trans
| portation companies involved to bear
/ the entire expense of retaining
aliens at all immigration ports: the
| cost to this government being limit
i ed to the actual expense of admin
| istration and examination of aliens.

Last night IS degrees was the lowest
point the mercury reached. In 1872
that point was reached on n June

Damage from
Mt. Etna ERUPTION

Rome. June o1-The fury of Mount
Etna seems to be diminishing to-
night. and messages of hope are
pouring in from Sicily. The flow of
lava, which became slower during the
day, is now almost stopped. although
the volcano is still bclching forth
smoke, cinders and dust.
The people, however. are inclined
10 be skeptical. for last night al
most everyone believed that Etna' S
force was spent, but this morning it
was still erupting powerfully.
DR.. Nicolosi. mayor of Linguag-
lossa, informed King Victor Eman-
uel that the damage amounts APP
proximately to 70,00o.o00 lire. Most
of the residents of that town and
Castiglione have returned to their
homes. the panic having abated. and
conditions in general are becoming
normal
