BORDER CROSSING
IS WORRYING i. s.
Decision Asked on Aliens
Working or Seeking Work
in This Country.
BY the Associated Press.


New Importance was attached by the
Government yesterday to the case pend
ing in the Supreme Court concerning
the right of naturalized Canadians to
cross the boundary in search of work
without regard to quota restrictions.
A brief filed with the court by the
Government asserted it had become
necessary for the highest tribunal to de-
eide whether in the meaning of the i'm
migration laws an alien working in this
country or looking for work is here
temporarily for business.
When Mary Cook and Antonio Dane
lon.. residing in Niagara Falls. Ontario,
sought to cross the boundary in search
OF work. the Government excluded them
as quota aliens, neither being native
born Canadians, exempt from such re-
strictions
The lower Federal courts held that in
crossing the border in search of work
both were entitled to admission under
the section of the immigration laws ad-
uniting aliens visiting the United
States temporarily for business" and
further held that under the Jay treaty
with England they were entitled to en-
ter the country freely.
The part OF the decision which is
worrying the Government most is that
holding that work is business" within
the meaning of the immigration law.
Aliens are landing at Atlantic ports,
the Government asserted, and are being
admitted to this country by the courts
on the claim that they are entering
temporarily for business when their real
purpose, the brief stated, was to search
for employment.
1t was highly important, in view of
these developments. the Government de-
clared, that il the construction given
by the lower courts Is correct and quota
aliens can obtain admission without
complying with the quota restrictions
by declaring that they are entering the
country on business when they are
merely seeking work, Congress should
have an opportunity quickly to modify
present laws If it desires to give effect
to its quota restrictions

ONE FINDS WHAT ONE LOOKS FOR

Sensational charges that immor- ality. drunkenness and drug distrl- button comprise what might be termed an esta blished industry on Cape Cod have been made by Mrs Wenona Osborne Pinkham, secre- tary Of the Massachusetts Civic League. It appears that the league employed corps of investigators last summer who went out to dig up all the scandal that could be found. From the nature of the report one gets the impression that the investi- gators had an interesting time.
 The main trouble with such re- ports is that bad conditions can be found almost anywhere. What counts is not inc total of leases" enumer- ated. but the percentage as applied to the population as a whole.

THE PARK BENCHES

This is no time of the year 10 grow enthusiastic about the benches that were placed in Central park some months ago But it is not too late to indulge in a few remarks about how they functioned. The weather at present is too chilly to permit weary wayfarers to partake of the restful quiet the benches afford; but dur ing the latter part of the summer and the early autumn, when Old Sol still yielded sufficient heat to permit outdoor rest, the benches seemed to be well appreciated.
 It was an experiment, so the state ments ran. in order to prevent citi- zens from sitting at the base of the monument, which somewhat detract- ed from the appearance of the city's downtown breathing spot. The ex- pertinent was successful, as few cared to sit on stone when more comfortable benches were on hand. The artistic effect, too, was not spoil ed by the proximity of the benches; it being a little park, benches and people sitting upon them seemed natural.
 The benches also came in handy for patrons of the trolleys and buses who were forced to wait at the park while making transfers, especially women and children.

THE YOUNG GUARD FAILS TO FJ NOTION

The young guard" of the Senate, also commonly termed the young Turks" seem to have lost heart aft CT having received the benefits Of a good press. After Q resounding rlc- tory in prolonging the Senate session regardless Of the physical condition Of the "old guard" it seems to have lost heart for that leadership which was being offered upon the sena- torial silver platter. Instead Of oust- ing the decrepit leadership of Sena- tor Watson and substituting that or the more virile Senator McNary, the entire plan cavcd in and now the boys are profusc in their declara- tions of party loyalty and regularity. That means they are still like sheep
 Finally. the young guard was defeated when the Senate voted q racess. thus postponin3 the tariff tfavcsty until December. What began ss new revolt" has ended in a flasco.
 This young guard bad an op- portunity to make the land ring with spirited cndeavor. But what can one expect of senators who. politically speaking, suffer from the ego Of party greatness? This is the naive faith that party is greater than per sonality. and that no true partyitf has a right to create diScord. It be- came evident within few days that f q young guard" was 10 supplan' the "old guard" the latter would feel resentful and fail to support the new leadership. The movemeh' would have amounted 10 nothing more than another bloc in the upper house. There already is one toC many, so the "old guard" will agree

NOT SURPRISING

Ii is not surprising that nothing definite was done at last nights meeting of the Common Council re- garding the resolution of the Proper ty Owners Association for the mayor to appoint a committee of 12 for re- valuation and reassessment Of pro- perty in this city.
 The weakness in the petition as brought before the Council lay in the fact that it asked that a member from each ward of the association be appointed to the committee, along with a member from each ward in the Council.
 Everybody by this time is thor oughly convcrsant with the views of the association, and the appoint ment of six mem bers from the asso- ciation would make the committee Of 12 at least 50 per cent sold on the proposition before work begins. It is surprising that the association is in favor of such an arrangement. If such q committee is ever appointed it needs to be thoroughly impartial, consisting preferably Of men who have not been identified with the agitation for revaluation and re- assessment. No other plan is ever likely to be considered by reprcsen- tatives Of all the people.

HANDY FIREAfEN

The idea that city firemen exist only to fight fires appears to be erroneous. They are the handiest men in the city, always ready, will ing and anxious 10 do a good turn. No one ever heard of grumbling in q fire house when the call came in to send some fremcn here or there to do almost anything but fight a fire. They rush for any chance what ever to get out and see the world, be it to rescue some children who were inadvertently locked in a house, or to rush over to the hospital or a doctors office and proffer their blood in a transfusion to save the life of a perfect stranger.
 Somehow one rarely thinks Of the police when such duties are to be performed. Not even the super numeraries get chance at this species of civic brilliancy. Nine chances out of ten the police, in fact, if they discover a child is locked in the bathroom or something like like that hand the assignment over 10 the fire department. Those are the boys with the ladders and sundry equipment not possessed by the police. They are the boys who ef- feet the rcscues.
 The record now Is three rescues within week. There may be an- other by the time this sees print.

\ PUBLIC SERVICE

The warning that scarlet fever is obtaining too great foothold in the city, given by Dr. Louis Dumont, superintendent of the health depart ment, ought to result in tightening of all precautions against this in- sidious disease. Nothing is more provocative of the spread of com- municable disease than carelessness. and sometimes a lack of knowledge that danger exists, which practically amounts to the same thing. The warning and it's attendant publicity was excellent public service by the head Of the health department.
