Canada. Guaranteed employment by
the Canadian government"
The Acting Minister Of lmmigra-
ZION said he did net know there was
.,n arrangement to assist British I'M
migration to the United States. The
canadian government had agreed to
NUT up f3 and the British govern
nent 81 to defray the transportation
expenses of immigrants, while the
transportation companies had agreed
20 reduce the fares by 81.
The Canadian government and the
TWO Canadian railways had undertaken
TO guarantee immigrants brought out
under this scheme employment for
five wears, or 10 provide for their care
if out of employment. 1t was intend
ed that the scheme should only apply
TO IaIm NoihtiS anu Ho"'SS'N -
ants.
A member asked If the government
would Indicate where the guaranteed
employment could be found, so that
Canadians out of work might have an
equal chance to connect with jobs. 10
this the minister replied:
The strong point in this connection
is that through the employment Of
fees, the federal and provisional GOV
ernments are keeping a close check to
see that if theer is the labor available
in Canada, that labor will get the first
chance
This governmental solicitude has
not prevented unemployed demonstra-
tions in many Canadian cities this
winter.
The really strong point of the
scheme is that the transportation COM
panies are getting public subsidies OF
nearly $50 for each British immigrant
hey bring to Canada. The guarantee
of employment is nothing more tnan
a device to make the government a
party to the general plan of depres-
sing wages. The agreement provides
a generous loophole by which the
transportation companies can evade
their contributory responsibility; and
the government guarantee is dis
charged if it can find farmers Wiling
to employ immigrants all winter fof
nothing more than their keep.

Relations between the United States
and Latin-American relations are I'M
portant to American labor and to the
American people.
We have right and duty TO per-
form in considering matters that may
lead TO misunderstanding between the
Western Hemisphere.
For many years American labor has
been trying to promote better relations
and better understanding between Pan
American peoples.
Every once in while something
comes along to kick up needless fuss
and stir up suspicion of the motives of
the United States.
The Pan-American Federation of
Labor now has twelve affiliated nation
al labor movements. SoGn 1t viii have
more. Through its persistent efforts
there is better understanding among
the peoples on the American continents.
There are several outstanding instan-
ces of service to the cause of social pro-
gress, peace and good will, to the credit
of the Pan-American Federation OF
Labor.
In these achievements every affiliate
ed national labor movement may feel a
justified pride.
Now comes another demand for serv-
ice. Now comes another incident re-
quiring something besides the terse,
unfeeling, blundering notes of prime
ministers and diplomats.
Mexico has enacted some laws affect
ing land tenure and the ownership OF
oil and mineral bearing properties.
The United States bluntly charges
that the new laws are retroactive and
confiscatory, which means that they
deprive American citizens of rights and
interests already acquired under as
sumption of permanency.
Mexico retOrts that this is not so. If
this were the first time there had ever
been a conflict over oil and mineral
rights in Mexico there would be more
ground to believe that the assertion of
the United States would hold water.
But there have been many such con-
ficts-the story of American exploita-
ton of Mexico is old and full of black
spots. 1t goes back into the early days,
and also the latter days, of POrtirio
Diaz, when that willy old boss devised
the plan of getting plenty for himself
by letting others get more for them
selves.
Mexico makes two very pointed
statements in relation to the claim OF
the United States Government.
Mexico says:
First-The laws are neither retro
active nor confiscatory. They do not
take away acquired property. They
do limit the requirement of more prop
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1926-02-19

erty, but principally they provide that
in relation TO property rights IN Mexico
foreigners must resort To Mexican
courts for settlement Of disputes IN
stead of calling upon their own govern
ments as in the past.
Second-If the United States Gov
ernment does believe the laws will work
injusticeS, the time to protest is when
the injuStices occur and not now.
Both of these points have much
weight.
In the United States foreigners must
seek redress for wrongs in American
courts. We do not permit MeXicans to
call on their government 10 take stern
measures" when Mexican is ag-
grieved Neither do we permit Brit
isher. nor Frenchman, nor Japan
ese to do SO.
Englishmen have millions Of dollars
invested in American oil fields, but If
Britishers get into trouble in relation
to those oil fields we offer them the
refuge of our courts, They can not
call in the British navy.
The second point made by Mexico
is equally good. If the United States
is bowling just because it assumes that
damage will be done, il is bowling be-
fore it has a case.
The old gang that used to chime in
whenever the oil chorus gave the signal
is hoping with all its might that this
dispute will go so far as to bring about
withdrawal of the American ambassa-
dor from Mexico City.
They hope this would be followed by
revocation of the embargo on arms
Then revolutions would break out and
every mercenary general" would be
set loose the path of destruction.
Somehow the interests" very foolish
victory TO "the right man. and in the
ly, of course, think they might bring
end gain much rich loot in the shape
of free oil fields.
Mexico is painfully, but very rapidly,
building herself up, after years of
struggle for freedom. She is now un-
der the leadership of able and honest
men-real patriots and real statesmen
of ability and high purpose.
To open the doors to destruction
would be a monumental crime against
a great people, against civilization,
against social progress-against every
thing that we hold up as part of the
peoples onward and upward.

Mexico is democratic, both in faith
and in practice. The United States Is
democratic. 1t has been said that demo
cracies know how to get along togeth-
er, because democracies are not jealous
Of each others rights, or of each 9th
er's property and prosperity.
This is a good time to prove the
soundness of that doctrine.

GIVING OF WORTHLESS CHECKS
IS CONSIDERED GRAVE OFFENSE
STATE CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE CITES LAW
IN CONNECTION WITH
PRACTICE

JACKSONVILLE, June 2.-The
giving of worthless checks, or
of checks in excess of funds on
deposit would almost die out in
Florida if the public generally
knew how grave an offense it is
under Florida law, says the Flor
ida Chamber of Commerce. Until
the last session Of the Legislature
the law on the subject was so de-
fective as to be virtually worth
less. The act was amended last
year, however, and the law as it
now stands is one of the most
stringent of its kind in the coun-
try.
For the benefit Of business men,
and the public generally, the
State Chamber quotes this prin-
cipal provision of the act:
Whoever makes or issues to
another any draft, order or check,
either in his own behalf or as
agent for any person or persons,
firm or corporation in payment for
goods and chattels, lands or tene-
ments, or other things of value the
title or possession of which shall
have been transferred upon faith
of payment of such draft, order or
check and shall not at the time
of giving, making, issuing or pres
entation of such draft, order or
check, have sufficient money on
deposit with such bank or banking
house, person, firm or corporation
TO pay said draft, order or check
by the bank drawn upon shall be
fined up to $500 or six months in
prison, or both. If restitution is
made before trial, fine shall be
800 or 30 days in prison or both.
The introduction of such unpaid
draft, check or order with the
reasons for its non-payment
stamped or marked plainly by the
payer shall be deemed prima facic
evidence of fraud and sufficient
for conviction. If the one who
gives the check states at the time
il is given that he has not the
funds at present to meet it but
will have by the time it is present
ed this notice from the drawer will
remove the cause from this status
of fraud"
