An IRISH IMMIGRANT QUOTA

The Irish Free State misses no opportunity to
show that it is independent selfgoverning unit like
tic other British domnions. Il is intmated now that
the Free State IS preparing to ask the United States
government to give II independent Immigrant quota
Al present there IS an Irish h-8rtish quota which
which t0-als 7l0C9 year. Lum0el together as they
arc the actual number OF Irish or British entering
this country varies in proportion from time to time,
more OF one the Other group happens to arrive before
the quota is exhausted.
with the two groups separated, the quota Let for
England Scotland and Wales would drop to about
3200o, under the new bill pending in Congress. 1t
would mean also that if Irish wished to leave
their Emerald Isle theTest Of the British quota would
still be held down to the new, separate figure.
1t is quite understandable however that the Irish
wish freedom in immigration we'll in other things.
Under the present system they can be crowded if
the quota is filled early with English emigrants
SO far as the United States is concerned, imTni-
grants from England Ireland Scotland and Wales
equally welcome AS rule they all make good citizens
in this country Our quota system deliberately favors
them group while it shuts out some Of the
tonas from Southeastern Europe.
The steamship companies which have already sold
reservations to large number Of British" mm-
grants for the coming fiscal year, find that they
going to be in sad state of confusion if the Irish
given separate quota Immediately.

MORE LIGHT FOR WATERWAY

Attention is called again TO the Great LakeS-ot.
Lawrence deep waterway plan by the action of the
American Engineering Council which calls for com
pete governmental Investigation OF the great project
There has been considerable investigation Of the mat
ter by engineers representing both the United States
and Canada but there danger OF getting TOO much
information the subject. The Engineering Council
wants to determine with finality, the facts regarding
navigation power, alternative routes and other ques
tions involved Congress will be asked to act on the
proposal.
An interesting discovery made by the leaders of
+hs movement in their recent inquiries, is that al
though Buffalo is SILL opposed to the new waterway
for fear of losing Of its business, New York and
other eastern seaboard cities less hostile, because
fhe are coming believe that they will benefit in the
end from the great development that such waterway
would bring to inland cities hey are encouraged IN
ths view by finding that the immense traffic Of the
Panama Canal has not hurt their prosperity at all
This is fortunate. 1t is usually narrow and mis-
taken state of mind which fears to see other communi-
ties an new business advantages, American communl
ties especially ought to profit by each others prosper

TAXES AND TRAVEL

There is an astonishing demand this winter for
around-the-world trips The establishment of regu-
lar word-beltng line by the Dollar Steamship Com
pany is only phase of the situation. Five trans
Atlantic liners have been withdrawn from service be-
tween New York and European ports and placed at the
service of American tourists for world voyages Every
ship is booked full Immediately, and the demand con-
tinues
Why this sudden craze for enulating Magellan?
Americans have long been known great travellers,
but they before showed such desire as this for
long, expensive trips Of all kinds.
1t is clear that all at there is an unusual
binaton Of money and leisure. There is probably NOR
money than there has been in previous years but
there is more leisure. That may be explained by the
retirement from business, lately, of unprecedented
number of American business men.
Their retirement is said TO be due mainly to taxa
ton. With such heavy taxes imposed business
represented in the federal surax rates, they
say there is incentive to work for money any
So they drop business cares and start out to have
good time.
That is fine in ways; but it doesn't look very
good for the business future of the country to have
many able business men turn from creating wealth
home to scattering it abroad

"Another thing that adds to the
confidence Of business is the change in
the two houses of congress. Republi-
cans are likely to have a working ma
jority in both the senate and house.
That means that even if the Demo
Gratis and La Toilette followers vote
together against Republican bills they
can still be beaten. You remember
last spring the president had great
trouble in getting even a few of his
recommendations enacted into law.
The tax bill prepared by Secretary
Mellon was beaten, SO far as it applied
to income taxes, and new one, writ
ten by North Carolina Democrat,
was substituted in its place. That oc-
Cured in congress where the Repub
hcans were supposed to control legis
lation.
"There will be nothing like that
next year when the new congress
meets. Our government will be Repub-
lican in both the executive and legis-
lative branches, and the people can
look forward to seeing their wishes
written into law by congress and car
ried into effect by the president and
his heads of departments. 1t will be
a Coolidge government all the way
through.
"Those are the reasons why business
is picking up in the way it is. The
next four years will see greater de-

letter from the bureau stating a
case of goods packed In straw and ex-
celsior had been consigned tc her and
adding that, because of the danger of
Importing germs of the hoof-and-

straw must be destroyed. However.
the bureau heads did not trust to the

arrival, whereupon an inspector would
call to see personally to the destruc-
ton of the straw.-Detroit Free Press.
