National Origins Quotas

a republican administration has ordained that ma
tional origins immigration quotas shall take the place
OF the present law in July. At present England and
Scotland and Wales are permitted to land 34OO7 i'm
migrants on these shores. This number has been
doubled by the national origins quota which pro
vides that 65.72l immigrants may land on these shores
annually.
Under the old law Germany has 51277: under the
new law 2595z. Und0- the old law Ireland has 28567:
under the new law 1883. Denmark has been cut
from 2789 to 1881; Norway from 6453 to 1887: Sweden
from 1851 TO 1914; France 1854 to 3Os6; Italy from
$500 to 1851.

Tourists Demand Beach Road

Tourists come to Brownsville to be near the Gull
Of Mexico, where they can enjoy bathing, fishing anc
boating.
But they leave Brownsville when they find thl
ritv Il not connected with the coast at any point bl
IN all-weather road.
This IS proved BY the experiences OF Wallace Har'
Vood. manager Of Palm Courts, local cottage tours
ramp.
In commenting on a recent editorial in The Her
nd in which the necessity for completing a paveo
highway to Boca Chica was urged, Mr.. Harwooc
writes:
3 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 50 they could enjoy fishing. It 50 hap
pened we were having showers every few days ct
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 ! get to Boca Chica?
] had 70 admit the road was SUN uhcOHpIeIeu'
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 Nj. Daubenspeck left
for Corpus Christi.
IN nv opinion. a paved road TO Boca Chica
will ia 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 Chca 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 4
available from the additional 100000 OK wsolc
Cameron county highway bonds. That road was in

OF course these two plants are very

Washington Letter
By HERBERT c. PLUaTNIER

WASHINGTON. June 25.-It certainly means
something when the president Of the United States
asks where there Is a good fishing hole.
When lie expresses a desire to try one out II be-
comes q matter az vital concern and the signal for
much activity on the part Of a large nunbcr Of people.
Think Of what happened when President Hoover
declared he would like to try his luck in certain
streams in the Blue Ridge mountains Of Virginia and
Maryland.
First. a road survey had to be made 70 determine
whether the presidential party could reach the two
camps in comfort.
II was found that the Maryland location could BE-
reached without much difficulty, but the Virginia
camp was a different story. Nothing but a horse or a
log wagon ever had been able to reach the site So
lected. No White House car would attempt 50 rough
and rocky a road.
It required the combined efforts Of a large force
OF the Virginia state road commission and the first
regiment ar the United States marines ~ make it
