Irish and Scandinavian quotas.
There were $4,000 male immi-
grants and 141,O12 females, about
Is per cent being children.
There were $4,000 skilled work
ers and $4,000 professional persons.
Harry f. Hull, commissioner gem
eral of immigration, remarks that
the new arrivals are spreading more
evenly over the country than ever
before. Once they concentrated in
congested eastern cities; now there
is a marked drift into the middle
and far west. Subtracting departed
emigrants, net gains of immigrants
included: New York $500, Mas
Texas 1900, and California $1,000.
Mexican immigration jumped Sc
per cent, whereas European gained
but 8 per cent and Canadian
dropped 10.5.
About S5 per cent of Mexican
immigrants were unskilled laborers
or women and children. The high
water mark of Mexican immigra-
tion was $4,000 in 1924. 1t
dropped to $4,000 in 1925 when a
visa and $40 visa fee were de-
manded But in two years it had
doubled again. There are now sup
posed to be considerably more than
a million Mexican aliens in the
United States.
The $4,000 immigrants showed
$21,S21,000 on admission. Of these
$4,000 brought $50 or more. Two
hundred thousand paid their own
passage and 10000 had it paid by
relatives All but $1,000 said they
were going to join relatives or
friends. More than 245,000 said
relatives.

WASHINGTON.-The Box bill to
restrict Mexican immigration and
protest against the national origins
provision of the immigration act is
before congress and immigration af-
fects the employment problem, so
here's a little ammunition for such
occasion as conversation swings to
the general subject.
There were 335,000 new alien
immigrants admitted to the United
States last year. This was more
than the $4,000 admitted in 1925
and the 100000 who came in 1926,
1t was more than in any year in
the 19G5-19 period, although the
Quota restriction act was not passed
until 1924.
But nearly half the 335, 900 were
Canadians land Mexicans. who are
not subjected to quota restrictions
From the restrictionist's point OF
view the number compared very
favorably with 100000 new i'm
migrants admitted in 1913 and
1914. When the quota act was
passe about 100000 immi-
grants had arrived in the previous
IS years despite a great falling off
in five "war" years. More than
36,OOO,OOO immigrants have come
to us in the last 100 years.
Last year we received $1,000
canadian immigrants and $1,000
Mexican immigrants. Nearly 170,-
600 came from Europe, principal
contributors being Germany with
48.OO0. Ireland with $4,000, Great
Britain with $4,000. Italy with
1900 and Scandin avia with
1850 Most of the protest against
the national origins clause, which
was postponed by congress- for a
year instead Of becoming effective
in 1927, was that it would boost

LEAGUE TAKES
ANOTHER STEP
TO STOP W AIRS
Fiftv.Third Session Closed
New Appeal Sent to South
American Countries

Lugano, Switzerland, Dec. 10
(AP3-The council of the League OF
Nations today voted to send new
appeal to Bolivia and Paraguay to
settle their border dispute by pacific
methods and in the meantime to re-
frain from military measures.
The 53rd session of the congress
Of the league, so far as it's public
meetings are concerned, was ad-
iourned this afternoon. The coun-
ell then began secret meeting to
discuss the Paraguayan-Bolivian dis
pute. The new appeal was a result
Of the secret meeting.
Before closing the league today
had under discussion a proposal that
war be prevented by an information
al air police force. The plan was
submitted to the league by Colonel
Clifford 3. Hartman of New York,
president of the International
League of Aviators.
Foreign Minister BRAND of France
is understood to be enthusiastic over
the proposal. The project will prob
ably be discussed by the league COM
missions studying international Sc
curity and methods of strengthen
ing machinery for the consolidation
of peace. Many persons believe that
weakness Of the league is it's lack
Of a police force empowered to act
to settle conflicts when pacific
means fail.
Colonel Harmon explained that
the underlying idea of the plan was
that al countries would place at the
disposal of the league 10 per cent
Of their trained pilots. These pilots
would serve as units Of an air force
of peace which would always be
ready for mobilization where war
threatened
The present dispute between Para
quay and Bolivia was cited by Col.
Harmon as an instance where an
international air force operating un-
der the league or the Kellogg
BRAND pact renouncing war would
be powerful deterrent. He believes
that thousands aviators surround
ing hostile country could force it
to submit to the will Of the league.

BUTTER REVIEW

Chicago, Dec. 15.-(AP)-Unmis-
takably, butter production is now in
creasing. All indications point to
enlargement of the make"
Receivers in practically all quar-
ters agree that there is an increase
in the size of individual shipments
from factories. The increase is also
shown by the fact that the volume
of arrivals at the principal markets
exceed those Of the previous week
and year.
Meanwhile, supplies are ample to
satisfy purchasers needs, and are
being rather freely offered by re-
ceivers. On the other hand, buyers
appear to be holding their acquisi-
tions down to urgent requirements,
even when receivers are willing to
shade prices in an attempt to keep
arrivals moving.
