A Word for France
Charge of Imperialism Is Denied
in Letter to The Star.

10 the Editor OF The Star:
1t seems to me that it Is time that
some one spoke a word for France,
not only on account of the present
situation, but because Of the criti-
cism of France which has been rife
for months. France is nilitaristic."
Well, IL we had as malignant and
treacherous an enemy on our frontier
as France has; If we had been in
vaded by that same enemy on an
average of every fifty years since
near the beginning OF the Christian
or milftarism ourselves--enough to
make us hesitate about reducing our
army too far. My opinion is that
were we In the position Of France.
bearing arms would be enrolled, sub
ject to call, and every boy would be
undergoing military training.
France is impe REALISTIC" How so?
She took back her own, in Alsace and
debts be paid If we had seen our
fairest states laid waste, our centers
Of industry destroyed, our women
ravished, it is just possible that we
might feel inclined to insist on rep
aratlon as far as reparation was pos
sible. For the worst losses it is i'm
possible. We might even try to COM
pei payment If there seemed no other
way to secure 1t. How long is it
since the statement that 1.-The only
argument which Germany under
accepted as automatic? Everybody
knows that Germany never will pay,
never intended to pay, unless COM
PEELED. And, meantime, French wild
oWs have their pitiful little pensions
cut down because Germany hasn't
paid.
And Germany can pay. Make no
mistake about that. Witness the &C
count In The Star last night of the
thriving Industries of the Ruhr VAL
ton; witness the expansion of her
shipbuilding Industries; witness the
$4,000 per day paid to Wilhelm Hohen-
zollern. Her land is undevastated by
war, her mines and factories are I'M
damaged. Why are we still hood
Winked by her propaganda?
Now we withdraw from France the
tiny shred of moral support repre-
scented by our handful OF men on
the Rhine. What do we want France
to do? She has submitted to reduc-
ton after reduction in the German
debt. Do we want her to permit
Germany to continue to default and
10 use the money and materials thus
saved in preparation for another war?
For most certainly that is what she
will do.
There Is another angle from which
to view the question. What would
Germany do were the situation re-
versed? To ask the question is TO
answer II. We read in the book of
books: He shall have judgment
without mercy that hath showed no
mercy" And when did Germany ever
show mercy? 1 am not advocating
any merciless visitation on Germany,
but ! am weary of talk of policies and
delays and fruitlesS n1agnanirnity
and I do plead for simple justice to
France, whose brave blue line was
the hope of civilization not so many
years ago. ISABELLA CAMPBELL.

Organized Manufacturers Clash
With Labor Over immigration.

What the Indianapolis News sees
as "a strong probability that the
postwar immigration law will be
changed during the year" grows out
of the program presented by the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
for a radical modification of the
present per cent law to meet what
manufacturers and farmers are con-
tending is a serious shortage of COM
mon labor. Against the organized
manufacturers are aligned the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, which in
sists upon a further trial Of the law
as it stands, and the American
Legion, which is advocating complete
exclusion for a period of five years.
Editorial opinion on the whole is
backing the position of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, while ex-
pressing sympathy for certain points
in the program of the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers.
The essential features Of that pro-
gram include a change in the pres
ent quota arrangement which will
take emigration into consideration.
a provision empowering the Secre-
tary of Labor to increase quotas to
meet shortages of labor in given in
dustries or localities, and to permit
common or trough" labor to enter,
irrespective of literacy tests or
citizen qualifications. 1t is the last
mentioned proposal which draws
most of the editorial fire.
Many writers agree with the New
York Times when 1t declares that
"the present immigration law has
not functioned satisfactorily, al
though Congress spared neither labor
nor pains upon the original bill" 1t
was clearly an emergency measure,
many feel, and it has now been in
operation long enough so that it's de-
fects are manifest. One Of them lies
in basing quotas on gross immigra-
ton from q given country, without
taking into consideration what por-
ton OF that gross amount has since
emigrated to the original country, a
defect which the National Manufac-
turers' Association Is now seeking to
correct. Instancing this difficulty,
the C16VCldnu DSdlcT TcleTS 10
a. nation whose quota under the pres
emit method of administration last
year was 10000, but $1,000 Of whose
citizens emigrated during the same
time" Since there was thus created
IAN actual deficit" the law operated
to contribute to the labor shortage.
Accordingly the Plain Dealer can
find mo reasonable objection to the
use of net immigration figures" on
which to base quotas. The New
York Post goes so far as to suggest
permitting immigrants to take the
places OF emigrants, over and above
the per cent quota. This strikes
the New York Tribune as ian In
genious device for multiplying the eff
fectiveness Of the immigration law"
since it means, in effect, 1.-The more
that go out the more that may come
in" and, moreover, places "a pre-
MUM on those races which are the
least inclined to settle permanently
in this country"
However, there must be a full
quota of workers" the Memphis
Conlmercial-Appeal insists. h the
country is to go forward and make
progress, and IL natives cannot sup
ply the proper amount 1t would seem

''Wets'' Sent Him to Congress
To Stall Activities at Home

In preparing for the picnic the vet
Grams had cut down some trees. and
they used one of the largest stumps
their speeches.
After the crowd had gone. my
brother frequently took me for
walk up to that old picnic ground
Representative Cramton recalls. "and
used to stand me on that stump and
have me make speeches I used to
try to initiate the grandiloquent
oratory and flourishing gestures Of
the old soldiers, and greatly enjoyed
the spectacle"
Representative Cramton never made
but one prepared speech in his life
and that he carefully memoriZed II
from high school. He was so scared
he'd forgot 1t when his turn came
on the program, his tongue and
throat were so parched by fright
that it was several minutes before
he could say a word.
He tells this story of how he came
to Congress:
while ] was serving in the Mich
igan state legislature in 1909 the wet
and dry fight which eliminated in
the constitutional amendment was
just starting. 1t was beginning to
be a state issue, several counties
having gone dry under local option.
I became actively connected with the
dry end That year we enacted
stringent regulations known as the
Warner-Cramton liquor law.
'After that l became a candidate
for Congress, and mine was a wet
district, and on account of my dry
activities ] was severely handicap
ped. There was one John Murdoch
who lived in Huron county, which
was particularly wet and threatened
to defeat my young ambition to help
make the nations laws. Murdoch
was a former member of the state
legislature and later postmaster of
the legislature. He was clear
headed Scotchman and we had be-
come great friends.
"As Murdoch went about the voters
would say to him, How about this
fellow Cramton? He's dry and dan
gerous.' To which my good friend
Murdoch would reply with his canny.,
dry Scotch humor: Sure. he's dry. sol
let's send him to Washington. where
he can't hurt us any more. We
don't want any more Warner-Cram-
ton laws passed at Lansing, do WEI
This tickled the fancy of the gdod
folk in Huron county, who couldn't
conceive of the possibility of prohi-
bition ever becoming a national is =,
sue-and they elected me-" concludes
Cramton.

membered for that service.
In this company Joseph G. Cannon
rtghtfully belongs. He has run a long
and distinguished course, and is re-
firing voluntarily from the stage at a
time when he is personally. taking
both parties into account, the most
popular man on it. He is well entitled
to the memorial his old neighbors are
preparing in his honor.
