National Origins Quotas

A republican administration has ordained that ma
ticnal origins immigration quotas shall take the place
OF the present law in July. At present England and
Scotland and Wales are permitted to land 34.OO7 i'm
migrants on these shores. This number has been
doubled by the national origins quota which pro-
vides that 65,721 immigrants may land on these shores
annually.
Under the old law Germany has 51.277: under the
new law 1851. Und0r the old law Ireland has 2s567;
under the new law 1883. Denmark has been cut
from 2789 to 1881; Norway from 6453 to 2337; Sweden
from 1851 to 1914; France 1854 to sOS6; Italy from
$500 to 1854.
France sent Lafayette, De Rochambeau and thou
sands OF their gallant comrades to the United States
to fight for the freedom Of the colonies. If the ma
tionaI origins quota is a perfect law why not apply It
to Canada and Mexico and all the South American
countries?
There are thousands Of Canadians who are de-
scendants Of New England Tories and Torie from New
York and Pennsylvania and others Of the original IS
states who fought for King George and fled the land
Of their nativity after victory had come to Washing
ton and his heroes.
Lest we forget there are thousands Of so-called
Mexicans in Texas whose ancestors dwelt in Texas
long before Columbus discovered America.

Tourists Demand Beach Road

Tourists come to Brownsville to be near the Gull
Of Mexico, where they can enjoy bathing, fishing and
boating.
But they leave Brownsville when they find this
city is not connected with the coast at any point BY
m all-weather road.
This is proved BY the experiences OF Wallace Har-
wood, manager Of Palm Courts, local cottage tourist
ramp.
In commenting on a recent editorial N The Her
aid in which the necessity for completing a paved
highway to Boca Chica was urged. Mr.. HARDWOOD
writes:
by checking back on my records I could name
numerous families who cut short their visit IN
Brownsville because they could not get to Boca
Chica when they wanted to. Other Brownsville
people who come in contract with tourists no
doubt can say the same thing.
zone outstanding incident which I recall is the
case Of Mr.. Daubenspeck and family Of Indian
apolis. Last spring they stayed five weeks at
Palm Courts waiting for the roads to Boca Chica
to dry off SO they could enjoy fishing. It 50 hap
pened we were having showers every few days at
that time. none OF which would have affected a
paved road. However. he only got to Boca Chica
three times.
when he left I persuaded him to come back
this spring, as I thought at that time the road
would be paved soon. Upon returning this spring
his first question was. Can I get to Boca ChicaY
i had 10 aCfnL the ROAD n SUN uAAIOAhpAVNcN-
However, he took a cottage and started to enjoy
fishing trips to the beach. On the afternoon OF
the fifth day we had a hard shower and on the
morning Of the sixth day Mr.. Daubenspeck left
for Corpus Christi.
I'm my opinion, a paved road to Boca Chica
will do more 10 attract and hold tourists than any
one thing that Brownsville can do"
After witnessing the between 1000 and 5000 auto
mobiles which visited Boca Chica and Brazos Island
Saturday and Sunday. no one could doubt the very
real demand for a paved highway to Boca Chica.
And there is no valid argument for not completing
the highway TO the beach as soon as any money Is
available from the additional 100000 Of unsold
Cameron county highway bonds. That road was in
cluded az the head OF the list in Brownsville pre-
cinct designations before the road bond issue was
voted. The dump has been in place long enough
for paving IL II ever is 10 set sufficiently.
rs completion would mean dollars and cents tc
every resident Of the county, rural and urban alike
for it would greatly increase the summer and winter
tourist population OF all Cameron county towns and
would add to the purchasing power Of the county.
AS soon as any bond money is available the
Brownsville precinct should pay that portion Of the
expense necessary to close the gaps in the military
highway and then all available money should BIZ
spent on the Boca Chica road until 1t is completed
TO the beach.
