From the standpoint of those who

The New Orleans Times-Picayune is
certain ways can be found here at
home to relieve the shortage in con-
siderable degree, if only the ingenious
gentlemen who demand more 1mml-
grants, regardless, will turn their at
better ways. Unfortunately 1t seems
they will not take up that search SO
long as any hope or chance OF letting
down the bars survives" There also
is comfort in the labor shortage, the
Allentown Chronicle feels, and 'be-
tween the two situations We'll choose
the labor shortage rather than the La
Dor surplus" In addition "the public
prejudice against a larger volume or
cheap immigration is probably TOO
strong to be overcome by an appre-
henslon Of the consequences Of labor
shortage foreshadowed by the chair
man of the Steel Corporation" the
Syracuse Herald is convinced.
Unemployment is "a problem which
belongs TO the Garys." argues the To

immi migration restriction. Tho only
way to get n compromise with labor
on the question, if a compromise is
necessary to get Congress to loosen
up on immigration, will logically be
through an understanding with thu
Garys of industry to take care of the
menace of unemployment. Perhaps
they can do it, The problem is ons

No World Court Campaign.

The President, it is stated at the
White House. does not propose to con-
duct campaign of education" on the
subject of American cooperation with
the world court. Having put the mat
ter before the Senate in an official COM
munication. and having subsequently
set forth his reasons before the people
in the form Of a public address. he will
rest the case and make no further ef
forts at present to affect public opinion
on the subject.
Truth is the proposal has been most
effectively stated by both the Prcsi
dent and the Secretary of State in
their respective addresses. There is
no immediate reason for further argu-
ment. The two speeches of Mr.. Hard
ing and Mr.. Hughes, i'll New York and
in this city. leave little if anything
more to be said.
In his New York speech the President
distinctly declared that he does not
regard American participation in the
Permanent Court Of International JUS
| d
the proposal further and persistently
in series of public addresses or Off
cial statements would be to make it
appear as such an issue. In point Of
practical procedure there is nothing
now to be done. The matter is up to
Congress. The President has proposed
cooperation with the court on certain
conditions which require legislative
action. Congress is not now in session.
There is no occasion for further pur
suit of the subject. save upon the
theory Of evolling public pressure upon
Congress for action at the next session
which opens in December. Seven
months must elapse before the session
opens, and in that time much will hap
pen to demand public attention. 1t
would be impossible to maintain high
degree of interest in the world court
proposal for that period. Thus, as
matter of strategy, if strategy is to be
employed in this case, it would be poor
policy to urge the proposal persist
emily.
Doubtless when Congress convenes.
perhaps before that date. the question
will become again of debating value.
The opponents Of the Presidents pro-
posal may be relied upon to bring it to
the front with objections. 1t will then
be in order for the affirmative side of
the case to be restated. Meanwhile it
may be expected that national organi-
cations of citizens will express them
selves on the question. By December
public opinion may have begun to
crystalline, but after all the question
is for Congress to decide. 1t can only
be made political issue by the de-
liberate maneuvers of partisans who,
for personal purposes, wish to make
capital out of a matter that should be
kept wholly outside Of the realm Of
politics.

A Mild May Day.

May day has passed without dis
aster. In Paris there was some local
disturbance, with rioting between
groups Of communist demonstrators
and the police. In Milan a conflict oc-
CURED between radicals and fascist.
There was fighting also in Buenos
Aires. But in the main the occasion
was far less troublesome than had
been anticipated. The Paris riots, it
would seem, were not deliberately
planned, but were rather the result Of
perhaps indiscreet police interference
with openair demonstrations that II
uumolested would probably have
evaporated in speech and song.
The reassuring feature Of yester-
days record is that there was no sign
of concerted international move
ment, nn suggestion of an organized

May.

May.
It's time to move! It's time to leave
The old house or the fiat.
But parting does not bid us grieve.
The patriarchal rat,
Likewise the festive mouse so small
Who sought to be a pet
We say farewell to one and all
Without the least regret.
The paper that in streaks is torn;
The' plaster that is loose,
The locks and hinges all too worn
To be Of serious use,
We leave them joyously behind,
Nor feel the slightest care
For what the landlord grim may find
Charged up to wear and tear.
The place to which we're moving
seems
A glimpse of paradise.
Yet rats cen now disturb our dreams
And playful are the mice.
The Same old leaks and cracks appear
And soon well fiercely vow
That We again will move next year,
Just as we're moving now,

Sugar Boycott Approved.

An authoritative statement at the
White House that President Harding
approves the proposed housewives
plan to minimize consumption Of sugar
to the end Of lowering the prices of
that commodity may be expected to
give impetus to the nationwide move
ment now gathering headway. Care
was taken in the explanation of the
Presidents attitude to point out that
it would be out Of the question for the
government officially to participate in
such an effort: the government can
only recognize the situation growing
out of the inflated prices is so far as
1t may involve violation of the law,
and. it was added. the government is
doing this.
President Harding is known to feel
that lessening consumption is a justi-
fable method Of resisting speculative
prices in a food commodity. His word
to the housewives might be translated
as being, More power to you; the gov
ernment will not disapprove OF your
course and will help i'll another way
if the law is being transgressed.'

succeeds, as succeed it must as soon as

Problem of Letting Down the Bars
Is Most Serious.

Suggestions by Judge Gary of the
United States Steel Corporation that
the immigration laws be amended SO
that unskilled laborers can be
brought into America to meet an cx-
listing labor shortage generally are
opposed by editors. A few sec the
Gary suggestion as wise, but the
great majority hold that the present
plan seems working wisely.
1.-THE spirit that would shut out the
Drawn and muscle Of Europe is the
nies in the early nineteenth century"
argues the Brooklyn Eagle. 1T is
equally unintelligent. Unskil1ed labor
is needed everywhere. Europe has
it to spare. But timorous politicians
in Washington let Gompers swing
the whip over them and do his bid
ding. Ono party is as bad as the
other" Admitting there seems some
necessity for additional unskilled
labor, the Pittsburgh GazetteTimes
believes that "the task for states
manship that interests itself in the
immigration problem is to devise n.
nlan whereby Americanism can be
preserved without putting an unnec-
essary penalty on American industry"
And because this is an accepted fact
the Waterbury Republican holds ito
the extent that Mr.. Gary is advocat-
ing that corporations should regain
their privilege of virtually conscript-
ing unlimited quantities of cheap
labor from abroad, his position will
certainly be opposed by a solid wall
of popular opinion by no means con-
fined to the laboring class. 1t is a
plea for liberty to enlist new recruits
for the already great army Of discon-
tent in this country" Both sides to
the immigration problem are extreme,
the Boston Post insists. and certain
select classes would be welcome, but
we can hardly expect to always have
sufficient labor for boom times unless
we are willing to have too many idle
hands in times OF depression
"The real purpose of the present
law was to prevent this country from
being flooded by aliens faster than
they can be assimilated." says the
Newark n Nevis t. n9 It's rea
aim, which was to favor those north
Europeans who were among the first
settlers and put the brakes on those
Of distinct eastern ancestry. 1t has
two great weaknesses. The first of
these is that 1T provides no selective
principle, except first come, first
served. The second is that the de-
barring ought to be done on the
other side of the ocean. 1t is not
an economic act, although in all Pc
riods of expansion it is bound to
have economic effects. It Is intended
as an Americanization act, and. as
such. this purpose Was put ahead
