CANADA PICKS HER ALIENS While U. s. With Different Method,
 Gets The .'Runts And Culls" P ,

s In Antwerp talked with a repre- sentative of the United States public health service who, by a special arr engagement, examines European. emi- grants going to both the United States and Canada. The difference between them, he said, made him i'll, writes Ken peth l.. Roberts in the Saturday Eve hshF Post.
 E Canada chooses the immigrants that she wants the United States takes any body that comes. Consequently, Canada gets good. husky, upstanding people, while the United States gets the runts and the culls.
 Those who go to Anieficax said the doctor, "are all right from Stricts ssltl.rs antine viewpoints because a public ne AYfif officer has only the rgiht to stop emf grants that have yellow fever, leprosy or similar diseases. He hasn't even the legal right to stop an emigrant with trachoma. s
 But from the immigration stand point, most of the emigrants to. Ameri- Lea are Veeyshad because of tiIeiE count. less years of rotten living conditions. Not a man in Congress would buy the scrubbiest bull or shoat, if he wanted to breed farm stock: and yet, by their failure to select only the immigrants that America needs, they are letting in the scrubbiest man material from cen- tral Europe to assist in perpetuatinE the American people," !. a<S :.
 The first persons to-. recognize. the general excellence of Scotch -emigtants to America are the American consular officials in Scotland. and yet they are the first persons to insist that America ought to ikeleat only the sort of immi- grants thRtvsbe- needs. and only the best apoDg those who offer themselves for selection.
 America" they say. "is the refuge home for Europeans who can't make enough money in Europe. Since every one that goes is going for the purpose of taking something from America, America should impose the terms. 4
 "She should take what she needs. If she, needs 500 carpenters, let her take 500 carpenters. and let her be sure that she gets 500 good carpenters. It will mean that the coHsulates must have larger staffs, and there will be more work to do; but we're willing to do the work"
 It is only by means of such selection that America can guard herself against the slum dwellers of Europe; against the human scrubs and runts and culls that will otherwise have part in fu- ture generations of Americans; against the incompetent; unreliable, unintelligent masses, wholly ignorant of American ideals, of the American spirit.

wherever there is found one or more
whom we can (Rnd should) assist
there nelghborllness must begin.
A minister once approached one OF
his parishioners with the request for
a contribution for the purpose Of do
ing Christian work abroad. The par.
ticuar field he had In mind was China
The man replied TINT he was willing
to help his nelghbors but did not
think he was called upon TO help those
as far away as China.
"Whom do you consider your neigh.
bor3' asked the minister. THE man
whose farm adjoins me-" was the
prompt reply. How far down into
the earth does your land extendr
was the next question and the farmer
just as promptly answered: "ro the
center" Very well" said the min
lister quickly, "There is n man down
in China whose land joins yours at
the center Of the earth he Is therefore
your neighbor and needs your help"
This was new thought 10 the slow

Only as we do so viii we be able to
broaden our lives into the fuIlness OF
the life Of Jesus the Christ.
The application Of the teaching Of
Jesus to business and society would

A And feast thy poor neigh
| - eors, the great with the
81 small.
- - So wrote the poet Tusser
INK many years ago, but the
LAN%,M suggestion is just as peril
EaNWG nent today as It was then.
II anything, we need TO be
reminded of our duty to our fellow
man more today than our fathers did
more today, indeed, than ever be-
fore. This Is true because the need
for brotherhood Is even more patent
than at any other period of the history
OF the world.
We live in an age when we think
solely OF ourselves and our immediate
families and we should have brought
TO our attention. the fact that we owe
a deht to our neighbor end that that
debt must be paid. The story Is told
Of rich man who prayed
on, Loral bless me and my wife.
My son. John. and his wife.
Us four
And no morel
We blush for shame that there could
be found one who is so narrow, yet
am assured that such people exist to-
day. There are those who. when they
have satisfied the needs Of their own,
assume a self satisfied air and say
that they have done their whole duty.
Approach such person and remind
him of the need Of friend or a neigh
Dor and he will ask the time-worn
question: "Am my brothers keeper?
Haven't l enough 10 do TO look after
my own family7' The teachings of
Jesus Christ answer the first question
in the affirmative (and the latter In
the negatIve) with even more emphasis
than God answered Cain when he
originated the selfish inquiry. Jesus
taught that the Decalogue is summed
up In the greater commandment
Thou shalt love they neighbor as thy
self" and His definition of "neighbor"
is any one who needs our help. Ter
rltOrial or other limitations do not ap.
ply when the case Of one In need is
before us.
There Is no geographical limitation
when we are extending the hand Of
assistance to one who needs our help.
