I'VE know that in this state, un-

IMMIGRATION LAW is BEN.
EFIC1AL, PR ESIDENT
COOLIDGE STATES IN
MESSAGE TO CONGRESS

Washington, d. C. (J. T. Az
While not enough time has elapsed
to afford a conclusive demonstration" !"
President Coolidge stated in his an
nual message read before the Senate
and the House December 8, "such re-
suits as have been secured indicate
that our immigration law is on the
whole beneficial. 1t is undoubtedly a
protection to the wage-earners of this
country. The situation should, how
ever, be carefully surveyed, in order
to ascertain whether it is working a
needless hardship upon our own in
habitants. If it deprives them of the
comfort and society of those bound to
them by close family ties, such modi-
fications should be adopted as will af-
ford relief, always in accordance with
the principle that our Government
owes its first duty to our own people
and that no alien, inhabitant of an
other country, has any legal rights
whatever under our Constitution and
laws. Ii is only through treaty, or
through residence here, that such
rights accrue. But we should not,
however, be forgetful of the obliga-
tions of common humanity.
while our country numbers among
its best citizens many of those of for
eign birth, yet those who now enter in
violation of our laws by that very act
thereby place themselves in class of
undesirables. If investigation reveals
that any considerable number are
coming here in defiance of our immi-
grafton restrictions, it will undoubt-
edly create the necessity for the regis
tration of all aliens. We ought to
have no prejudice against an alien be-
cause he is an alien. The standard
which we apply to our inhabitants Is
that of manhood, not place of birth.
Restrictive immigration is to large
degree for economic purposes. 1t is
applied in order that we may not have
a larger annual increment of good
people within our borders than we
can weave into our economic fabric in
such way as to supply their needs
without undue injury to ourselves"
the Presidents message read.
