 These are the tangible losses. What losses re- suited through the failure of the letters reach the addresses in the way of business lost, unnecessary journeys taken connections missed offenses given failure to secure positions, dismissal from positions held, and many other things cannot be nelli- gently conjectured. Every mans personal experience will make it clear that in the miscarriage of even few letters there certain to be losses of conse- quenee involved. When instead of few letters there are millions and instead of single individual

Immigration Problem.
Chicago News. !

Serous-mnded students of the immigration prob lem who desire the adoption of regulations that will serve to exclude from this country all aliens except those of good physical, mental and moral qualities are invited by influential agencies to consider as well the importance of excluding aliens who are not eligible to citizenship. The American Federation of Labor in it's national convention Cincinnati last June and the American Legion in it's national convention at New Orleans last October passed resolutions urging that such aliens be excluded Pacific Coast represen tatives in Congress and other lawmakers are taking up the matter in earnest, believing it the effective way to eliminate the Japanese immigration peril
 It is argued in favor of the enforcement of this policy that no discrimination is involved other than already established by the Federal naturalization law And It stands to reason that permanent dweers in this country who barred from citizenship have points of undesiraby that make the entry of other persons similarly disqualified a source of embarrass meht and apprehension. Citizenship properly should De the goal of alien permanent residents in any country Denial of citizenship to actual permanent residents IS drastic form of discrimination than denial of permanent residence to present dwellers in remote lands.
 intelligent Japanese when consulted on the sub- Jeet nave declared the proposed exclusion measure m pe o nature likely to solve acceptaby the serious not 10 say dangerous, problem of Asiatic mmipra- tloh It IS certain, at least, that Congress and fbo federal executive department have excellent reasons
