HUSBAND REVIEWS
IMMIGRATION LAWS
Commissioner Tells Forum
Progress of Restriction
of 43 Years.

Reviewing the progress Of immi-
grafton legislation. particularly with
reference to restrictive immigration,
w. w. Husband, commissioner gen.
eral of immigration, told the City
Club Forum this afternoon that the
United States by the 1924 immigra-
tion law is apparently committed to
a policy whereby it safeguards it's
ewn needs without great regard to
the needs of other nationals
Mr.. Husband said he was not pre-
pared to declare that this was right
or wrong, pointing out that begin
ning with 1927 immigration into the
United States will be limited to $780,
600 persons year, but added that
this was apparently the policy the
Government had embarked upon. Pos
sibly, he said, there will come a time
when this figure will be too high and
there may also come a time when as
many as 100000 or even more i'm
migrants may be deemed desirable.
Present Law Humane.
The commissioner general said that
the immigration law of 1924, under
which the Immigration Bureau now
operates, Is much more humane than
the old law, even though it permits
smaller proportion of immigrants
to come into this country. He said
immigrants must obtain visas from
American consuls at the port of en-
barkation before they can ship on

Domestic reindeer herds in Alas
ka are now worth $1,550,000 more
than the United States paid to Rus
sia in 1867 for the entire territory,
announced tlse bureau of education
of the department of the interior in
its annual report for the past fiscal
year made public today.
OF the whole number or reindeer.
approximately 100000, about $4,000
are owned by natives. The deer sup
ply to their owners not only food
and clothing, but a livelihood. The
entire industry has developed since
1882, when the bureau of education
began to import the animals from
Siberia. The herds extend from the
Arctic to the Pacific ocean, and in
the interior from the Alaska rail
road to the Aleutian Islands.
The bureau of education is charg-
ed by law with the education and
welfare of the natives of Alaska,
and the introduction of reindeer is
but part of its work in their be-
half. Schools, hospitals, and CO.
operative commercial enterprises are
also included. The commissioner in
his report lays stress upon the re-
organization of this work which has
recently been undertaken, and espe-
cially upon the introduction of mod
ern methods of industrial training.
The principal activities of the bu-
reau Of education are i'll behalf of
the schools of the nation as whole.
Tie commissioner states that i'll this
respect the situation is more prom
ising than at any other time in its
existence.
Its publications have always been
and will probably continue to be
the principal means by which the
influence of the bureau is exerted,
but with increased appropriations
and better organization, the COM

Bureau of Education Achieves
Splendid Results i'm Alaska

missioner says that the personal elc'
ment is entering more and more into
its achievements.
Directs Surveys
Educatioanl surveys, which de-
pend upon personal examination of
local conditions and recommenda.
tions for changes, have become q
popular instrument of improvement.
In this the bureau of education was
the leader in point of time, and now
directs more surveys of this char
acter than any other ageney-per-
hans more than all other combined
During the fiscal year 1924 il
conducted IS. OF these the survey
of higher education in Massachusetts
is easily the most important, i'll the
commissioner opinion, for it will
probably lead to complete change
in the policy of the state toward
higher education.
Conferences of specialists in GER
tain lines of education are frequent
ly called by the commissioner of ed
ucation, who considers this is an
effective method of diffusing in
formation of value to the country.
The national conference on Hitter
aey, held in the auditorium of the
department of the interior in Janu-
ary was conspicuous example of
such conferences, both because of
the high character of the partici-
pants and Of the results that may be
expected to come from it.

Mrs. Yamanaka
Dies Following
Long Sickness

Christmas day brought bitter trag
edy to the home of George T. Yama-
naka of this city, when his wife,
known and loved throughout the
japanese colony died at the FL Cen.
tro hospital, following u long illness.
For several years Mrs. Yamanaka
resided in Imperial Valley, first lir-
ing in Brawley, and removed with
the family to this city several years
ago For the past eight years she
had been bed-ridden, but her won
derful spirit refused to be daunted
by this affhction, and she continued
to do missionary work among her
people, her influence with them be-
ing such that many followed her
footsteps III embracing the Chris
tian religion.
Bv counsel and material assist
ance, she sought constantly to bet
ter the condition. of the japanese
people and worked increasingly to
get them to adopt American Gus
toms and bring up their children as
American citizens as well as Chris
tians.
For years her prayers were offer
ed for church in which the Japan
ese Christmas could worship, and her
1ortitude enabled hei to see her
prayers answered in the new Union
church, which the Japanese people
are building ut the corner of Fifth
and Commercial streets i'll this city.
BY strange coincidence of fate,
the edifice will be used for the first
time tomorrow, when Mrs. Yama-
naka 5 funeral is held there, thus
fittingly dedicating the church and
at the same time the end
of her activities in connection with
it.
The deceased is survived by her
George T. 4amanaka, form
erly secretary of the japanese as
sociation, ana we'll known through
out the valley, her daughter, Sophie
a student at the FL Centro Junior
college, and one son George, who at
tends Central Union high school.

Heavy Corn Exports
From Russia Affect
A Agricultural Prices

MOSCOW, April 9-Due to a nota-
BILE rise of prices on agricultural
produce-which rise may itself be ex
planned in part by the growth of corn
exports from Russia, the buying ca
pacity of the rural population has
considerably increased during the last
few months. This, in it's turn, has
had favorable effect on the indus
trial turnover in towns. However,
the lack in the broad monetary cir
culation of small units of small
stable currency has up to now pre-
vented the stabilisation of prices, as
the buyers wished by a fictitious
raising of prices to be insured against
the depreciation Of currency.
Under such conditions, the State is
now, in the interest of the financial
reform which is actually being eff
fected, undertaking economic and adj
ministrative measures intended to
stabilize and bring goods prices to
a lower level in an orderly way. Ac-
cordingly, the system has been set up
of regulating prices in the chief in
dustrial centers, in Moscow-where
regulations have already been issued
fixing bread prices, Leningrad (Petro-
grad, the Donetz Basin, Baku
Caspian Sea-, etc. At the same
time, what may be called a goods
Intervention, operated on the market
by the Government on broad lines,
and the concentration in the several
districts Of large amounts of goods,
are undertaken with view to main
tanning the index of regulated prices.
This system Of price regulating is
being met sympathetically among
both official and private business
spheres, where it is expected it will
ensure the success of the financial
reform.
