Prize Money on Farm

PARIS, Dec. 14.-Foreign Minister
BRAND will have $1,000 left of his
half of the Nobel peace prize after
paying the income tax on the gift. It
IS reported that this will be spent in
building new wing on his country
house at Cocherel and in the purchase
of sheep and pigs.
Before entering the ministry he was
earning from $4,000 to $4,000 a year
as a corporation lawyer, and is said
to be very comfortably fixed finan-
cially, so that he can carry out his
plan of spending his declining years
on his estate and indulge his favorite
sport of fishing. This should interest
the poverty-stricken cripples of the
last war, in which BRAND was safe
far behind the firing line.

SCANDINAvANS
PROTEST QUOTA
ON IMMIGRANTS
Claim the Grace Origin"
Clause Is Unfair

Especial to The Daily Worker)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Repeal OF
the Reed amendment to the immigra.
ton quota law, which provides that
after next June the quota shall be
based on the "racial origin" OF the ex-
listing American population, is de.
manded by various Scandinavian or
CARNATIONS, in petitions filed in the
senate by Senator Shipstead Of Min
nesota. The Danish Brotherhood Of
America, the Sons Of Norway and the
Augustana Synod, Evangelical Luth-
eran church. presented arguments
against this clause in the statute.
Quota Cut.
"When the first immigration law
went into effect after the close Of the
war" says the Augustana Synod, the
Swedish quota was 2Oe42 immi-
grants per year, the Norwegian 2,20z.
and the Danish 1913. Under the pres
ent operating quota Sweden is allowed
1851, Norway 654S, and Denmark
3,7S9. But on the national origin
basis, under Sec. IL Of the act OF
1924, if put into operation July !.
1927, Swedens quota will be reduced
to 3,O72, Norway's to 2,O53, and Den
marks to .945 per year"
Charge Discrimination.
The petition goes on to say that
these three Scandinavian countries
will thus lose annually two-thirds OF
their quotas in favor Of England, Hun
gary, Austria, Russia and Italy, whose
quotas will be- almost doubled and in
some cases almost trebled."
