The policeman went around the cor

When he returned he saw Barnes

rested him. The other man had

The ultimate aim Of the new
policy. as defined in the existing
immigration act, win be to re-estab-
fish to same proportions OF foreign
stock az were found in the country
at the first census, In 1890.
The new policy, to be proclaimed
by President Coolidge april unless
Congress again authorizes post
ponement, will express the national
win not only to control immigration
by members and selectivity but to
determine permanently the portion
OF each foreign spice which shall

pot.
Admittedly an experiment of
profound biological and social po-
tentialities. the new national ORR

sisted by ineffective minorities in
both houses OF Congress since its
inception four years ago.
Immigration Cut
Opponents Of the plan in both
Houses are still pressing for repeal
but there appears little likelihood
of their succeeding.
The new quotas will limit immi
grafton to 153, 6S5 persons annually,
against the present maximum OF
1854, 900. The principal effect Of the
new formula, however, will be q
violent shifting Of the quotas OF
the various countries Of Europe
with a view to preserving the domi.

same ratio as existed in the Amer.
lean Colonies at the adoption Of the
Federal Constitution in 1883.

new quotas in indicated by the

At the opening of the year Presi-
dent DIaz of Nicaragua asked Amer
lean aid against the Liberal rebels led
by Doctor Sacasa, and naval forces
and marines were promptly sent, since
our rights to the Nicaragua canal
route were deemed imperiled. After
numerous skirmishes all Nicaraguans
were ordered to surrender their arms
to the American forces, and the back
bone of the rebellion was broken In a
battle at Ocotal In July. Encounters
with scattered guerrilla bands contin-
ued through the rest Of the year. Re-
lations between the United States and
Mexico improved steadily and Dwight

achievements of that admirable young
American aviator. His transatlantic
flight. the first from America to Eu.
rope; his triumphant progress abroad
and afterward in his home country,
his nonstop flight to Mexico City,
and his gallantry and modesty made
him the most famous man Of his time.
Both before and after he winged his

failed tragically.
internationally, interest centered
largely on efforts to bring about re-
duction Of ornaments. President Cool
idge's invitation to the nations sigma
tory to the Washington treaty to con-
fer on means to extend the provisions
of that pact was accepted only by
Great Britain and Japan, and ended
IN complete failure. The League Of
Nations preparatory disarmament
commission was more or less busy
throughout the year, but seemed to
make little progress. It's December
meeting was attended by Russian
representatives who blandly proposed
Immediate and total disarmament.
This plan was squelched and the mat
ter Of international security taken
up. The league council, converting to-
ward the close Of the year. had to
deal with the old quarrel between Pc
land and Lithuania and with strained
relations between France and Italy.
United States marines were busy help
Ing suppress a revolutionary love
ment In Nicaragua and protecting our
nationals In China.
At home the year was notable for
the steady growth of our national
economic prosperity, which, however.
was halted In some sections by agri-
cultural depression and by the devas-
tating floods In the Mississippi valley.

IN November Premier lionel Bratiano,
unrelenting enemy of Carol. died and
was succeeded temporarily by his
brother. Bloody revolts by Com
munists in Vienna and by Royalists In
Portugal were suppressed in the sum-
mer. In Soviet Russia Stain and his
associates undertook to squelch utter
ly the opposition facticn and Leon
Trotzky snd his followers were ex-
PEELED from the Communist party.
President Gales of Mexico continued
his suppression of the Catholic OPP
ponents to his rule. Many prelates
were arrested on charges of sedition,
and In April Archbishop Mora y del
Rio and others were expelled from
the country.
Mexico's most serious revolutionary
movement came In October and
was led by Generals Gomez and
Serrano, both rivals of General Obre-
gon for the Presidency. Within a
few weeks the movement had been eff
~fectually put down and Gomez, Ser
rano and many others had been exc
cuted by firing squads. President Fig
ueroa of Chile was forced out of office
by Premier Ibanez, who was later
elected to succeed him.

Premier Pilsudski had designs on their
independence. Seizure of wilma by Po-
