lower edges. The top is two inches wider than
the bottom, and instead of hinges you can use
two 10-peny nails, one driven through each

be necessary to round the lower back edge of

top. The hinges can, of course, be used If you
prefer. Before you assemble the boards, make
sure that each cut is square and that the rough
saw cuts have been smoothed with sandpaper

asked Harold
u. what do you think should do with it?"
asked his father.
"Oh. if had 1t. I would spend it." said
Harold.
what would you spend it for?" asked his
Father. There isn't anything that you need
very badly"
ooh. can think of million things would
like to have" said Harold. But, of course,
you won't let me spend your $4,000 What are
you going to do with it. Daddy?'
"I really don't want to spend it," replied Mr..
Corwin, land so think shall put 1t in the
bank"

said Harold. will the banker pay you interest
on that much money!"

savings account, because I know that am not
going to need it for some time. probably not be-
fore four or five years. win ask the banker

what is certificate Of deposit, Daddy?
Does the banker pay you interest on that and
does he pay you more than on the regular

fair the present quotas are than the
national origins quotas would be.
have said that there has been resort
to the groSsest kind of misrepresent-
atoms about what national origins would
accomplish. I want to recite and cor
rect some of those representations.
1t is claimed that national origin Is
n plan to further restrict immigration
to America. am myself believer in
restricted immigration, but the national
origins plan was never intended to re-
strict immigration any further than it
was already restricted w the 1890
quota basis. There is difference OF
5000 or 10000 who can come to this
country under the two plans, and for
one. as q foe of the national origins
theory. would gladly consent to a pro-
Dortionste shaving Of the present basis
of quotas to a point which would give
us the same number under the present
basis as would be admitted under the
national origins plan. But, the national
origins plan was not intended to con-
stitute a further restriction of immi-
grafton.
There is another representation to
the effect that the national origins, if
1t discriminates against any people, dis
eliminates against the people Of South
eastern Europe. The facts are that the
national origins plan will increase i'm
migration from Southeastern Europe by
more than 1000, and while increasing
immigration from Great Britain, will
decrease immigration from Norway,
Sweden. Denmark, Germany and Ire
land by nearly $4,000. while reducing
the total immigration by less than
10000
NO enc who has studied the history
Of immigration and the contribution of
immigrants can call such basis of i'm
migration quotas fair. Under national
origins the quotas from Italy Greece,
Russia and other Southeastern coun-
tries would be increased. Italy, for ex-
ample, would be increased from $500
to $500: Great Britain would be in
creased from $4,000 to 5000, and while
this is taking place rational origins is
cutting the quota of Denmark from
2.7OO to 100. Of Germany from $1,000
to 25.O0U, Ireland from $4,000 to $4,000;
Norway from $500 to $500, Sweden
from $500 TO $500.
General Dissatisfaction.
The contributions of the people who
came to us through all our history from
northern Europe have been written so
indelihly upon the pages Of our history
that I do not wonder in the least that
there is general dissatisfaction with the
national origins basis of quotas. We
know Of the records and the parts which
these people have played in all Of those
engagements which have meant the life
of our country. and we know OF the
great pioneer strides which these peo-
T,Ie have made in behalf of the building
of America.

made upon this subject with relation
to the attitude of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. which has been declared
to be in approval of the national orr

Conclusion to be Drawn.
What conclusion can citizenship
which believes in restriction draw when
it sees all opponents of restriction ar
rsyed against the national origins pro-
Visions and all organizations which
work for restriction actively supporting
tnem?
The active opponents and supporters
of the national origins provisions have
given the question: special attention.
Are both ignorant ct what is involved?
To believe that requires peculiar
mental make up, or a situation making
it POLITICALLY or otherwise convenient to
entertain such q view
I do not deny the existence of a
small minority of men who have voted
for restriction, who now, because of
peculiar personal eaningS or local con-
nections, or the necessities of politics,
will vote to change the act of 1924,
by abandoning the permanent quota
basis therein provided and using in
its stead the 1880 basis named as a
temporary one in that act. But that
small minority would amount to moth
ing in numbers or political influence
bub5 for their alliance with the opponents
of restriction.
A well financed widespread propa-
ganGa has been put ont to mislead the
courxry into believing that the national
origins quota basis is an after-thought
added, at some later time for some rea-
son foaeign to the spirit and intent of
the act: Of 1924. These provisions were
written into the 1924 act and have been
the per nlanent keystone of the arch of
the quota system since, 10 was con-
strueted by Congress and approved by
the President. The 1880 census basis
was to be temporary, with the express
provision that such temporary basis
should be- replaced with the national
origins as the permanent basis.
weakness Of Queta Basis.
Few. If any, students Of the problems
and supporters of restriction failed to-
recognize in 1924 the weakness of a.
quota basis computed entirely on the
foreign-born population at time "a
wears then past. and necessarily destined.
to become more and more remote. When,
the drafting Of the 1924 quota law began,
many were willing to use the 1890 Gen.
sus basis in preference to any other
then suggested; but it was accepted for

| had been taken from two or three ma
tions to form new states. In many
! instances regions had been taken from
one country listed in the census Of
1890, and given to another during that
period of "a years. Indeed the map Of
Europe had been re-made. The best
equipped diplomats had to have maps
and expert geographers at hand to
advise them of the inclusion or exclusion
, of some regions and the location of
boundaries. existing, and proposed.
Those who figured the quotas on the
basis of the 1890 census had to estimate
whether the Austria, or Poland, or
Czechoslovakia, or Jugoslavia, or Turkey,
or France, or italy, or Russia. or Ger

frankly advised the Senate committee
that this general condition prevailed.
when they somewhat hurriedly COM
puted the quotas based on the census
Of the foreign-born in 1890.
The time between the approval of
the 1924 act and the date on which 1t
took full effect was so short that even
the temporary quotas provided for in
that act had to be promptly approx
general and rough approximation. nee
cesarily made in a hurry, from in
sufficient data, or immediate, though
temporary use. The country had
right to have such an approximation
made in the emergency then existing.
It has the right, and Is in duty bound
to make the more logical, fair and
permanent approximation provided In
the national origins clauses, in the
provided by the law, time permitting
it.
German Basis Unfair.
The 1890 census basis gives to
Germany 81 per cent of the total
quotas. Though Germany has con-
tributed at most about IT per cent of
the racial stock Of the United States.
The same failure of the 1890 census
to furnish fair basis developed in
varying but substantial degrees in ap-
portioning quotas to other countries.
A word of the testimony of the ex-
perts who compared these bases and
computed the national origins quotas,
will be worth hearing. DR.. Hill, as
sistant director of the Census whose
character, ability and expert knowledge.
all admit. was chairman of the quota
board. From his testimony quote:
DR.. Hill: Il will say, however. that no
proposition has been brought to my
attention that seems to be fairer than
this one Of national origin"
Again DR.. Hill was asked the question
Does the distribution of quotas based
on the 1890 census reflect with any
accuracy the proportion of nationalities
that now exists in the United States?"
DIR. Hill: "No. indeed, it does not"
The claim that the national origins
basis is not workable is answered by the
fact that the quota board has worked
out, the secretaries have certified and
the President has proclaimed the ma
tional origins quotas.
The three secretaries in their final |
report said: We. in the discharge |
of duty laid upon us by the statute,
have made the determination provided

in subdivision CT Of Section No. II of
the act and jointly submit herewith
the quotas of each nationality deter
mined as provided in subdivision (b) of
the act"
No Discrimination in Act.
The claim that the national origins
quota basis discriminates against any
nation, or people, Is based on the as
sumption that it is unfair to give quotas
to Immigrant furnishing countries in
proportion to their respective contribu-
lions to the whole white stock of the
nation. No European countries or
people acquired vested rights in the
temporary quotas provided in the 1924
act. even If those quotas had been
presented as prospectively permanent.
The absurdity of an assumption of such
vested rights Is heightened when it IS
remembered that those temporary
quotas were presented as temporary,
accompanied by provisions for their
early abandonment for the permanent
origins basis.
The census of 1890 is now nearly 20
years old. and is becoming more remote.
The national origin basis moves forward
with each decade and continues with
each census. ever approximately proper
tionate to the white American popula-
ton.
Whatever the Government does to re-
strict immigration always has been and
will be viciously asSailed by those who
would have the people of Europe and
other countries treated as possessing
vested rights to places and opportunity
in America. No sooner had the national
origins basis been adopted than certain
race-conScious blocs with strong foreign
af1nities, who have almost invariably
opposed every restrictive act. began to
move among other groups to organize
an attack upon that quota basis. If the
1890 census had been the permanent
quota basis provided in the Act of 1924,
it would have been as violently attacked
as has the national origins basis and
would have been weaker under attack.
Indeed that census had been asSailed
from the first while it was under con-
sideratton as a permanent basis. The
country already has ample notice that
it will be attacked if it should be made
the permanent quota basis. If the
groups who give body and strength to
the attack now being made had not as
sailed national origins. they would have
fundamental part of the law.
The minority of friends of the 1924
immigration act, who are joining the
opponents Of all restriction in an effort
to suspend or repeal the national orr
gins provisions of the law, are commit
ting great folly. II the attack on the
heart of the 1924 act should succeed,
the MISUNDERSTANDING viii attack some
other key position, and the patriotic
people, who are determined to main
tain the numerical restriction included
In the quota system will probably launch
a we'll organized, nationwide drive to
reduce all quotas as low as one-half of
what they are now, and to restrict i'm
migration still further in other direc-
tons.
If our friends want more of this war,
It is waiting for them.
