IMMIGRATION CONsPlRACTES


1t is known that considerable numbers of immi-
grants leaking into the United States across the
northern and southern borers avoiding the established
ports of entry and euding the immigration officers
Representative Aswell of Louisiana, who has been
studying the immigration question in Europe charges
that there leaks also in the operation OF our off
cia immigration machinery, with the active coopera-
ton of European governments and charitable organlz
ations.
They are conspirng, he says, to keep their desir
able citizens home and ship the undesrables here
for Uncle Sam to take Of The law is evaded, he
explains by brbing American citizens of foreign birth
certify that they relatives of the woudbe lnm
grants and will that the latter do not become pub
lie charges.
1t is sad but doubtless true, that naturalized citi-
zens frequently abuse their citizenship by certifying
falsely in this way Whether foreign governments are
really parties such conspiracy difficult to
believe, but the matter at least deserves looking into
If there is anything OF the sort going on it will be ne
cessary to make the immigrant barriers still higher
and tighter, and scrutnize prospective immigrants
more closely before they start for this country

LESS WHEAT SOWN

American farmers have sown about 5000 acres
less in winter wheat than usual That is expected to
result in production loss of about 100000000 bushels
The spring wheat acreage also will probably be cur
tailed
This is natural reaction to the slack demand for
the crops of the last two three years, with their
low price. Farmers collectively and Individually are
disnclined to continue raising any crop the
scale when recent experience has shown that it does
not pay, and prefer to substitute betterpayng crops
or even let the land lie idle.
Nevertheless it is unfortunate for the world, and
possibly unfortunate for the farmers themselves.
Perfectly obvious solutions to big problem often
short-sighed. Nowhere is long-range vision more ne
cessary than in agriculture. Such vision in this ease
would suggest not the concentration of effort crop
production but the stimulation of the foreign market
to absorb a normal crop.
Millions of people abroad starving for bread.
An organized effort stabilize the economic life of
Europe might revive a market which would take, at
good prices, all the wheat this country could produce
along with great quantities 6f manufactured products
American participation in the German reparation in
quiry is good beginning in that direction.
