~ VENING TIMES, Glasgow:
| l. the slump in emigration from
Scotland to the United States
IL a matter for regret? We put
this question not from any SEN
! timental point Of view. We may con-
| graduate ourselves that there is a wider
desire on the part of the people to re-
main under the flag" But the entire
position is dictated from economic
standpoints.
The slump which is reflected in the
decreased ALLEGATION of United States
visas TO Scotland is pointer to two
! facts: Widespread unemployment at
home and in the United States. Here
many that might emigrate have not
the money to do so, while others who
have 1t won't go, meantime, at any
rate, until the prospects OF obtaining
employment in the United States are
much brighter than they are now.
The economic depression Is world
labor market in the States improves
SO will our own, but it is going to
take great deal to make our industries
prosperous. We need new and basic in
dustries which we have no signs of
getting. Where, then, is the solution
to come from? We do not want pallia-
| tives. We need employment in indus
Tries, not reIleI schemes.
Now the dominions cannot furnish
it. They want agricultural workers, not
industrial workers. They want the very
class we should try to keep at home.
Manpower on the land has also de-
creased in Scotland, and we need a
| bold reconstructive policy to remedy
that. The United States seems to hold
the solution to our problem whether
we like it or not, and if, by going to
America, the best of our skilled workers
are lost to the flag" they are at least
transferring to a country with which
we have close ties. And even If we
do lose these men. so far as Glasgow
goes there will still be surplus of labor
when the revival comes. The dominions
cannot absorb it, nor, at present, can
the United States.

American Sports
Bring Country Club to Chile.
FL Mercurio, Santiago.-With the in
vasion of our country and all other
South American countries by the ex-
otto sports of the United States and of
England, our facilities and equipment
for these diversions have had to be
radically increased. While there are
certain hygienic and athletic activities
that can we'll be followed within the
the more ariStocratic and exciting pas
times, such as polo. golf, shooting
and equestrian indulgences, need the
wider and wilder domains of the coun-
try estate. This necessity has led in
recent years to the establishment of
what are known in England and North
America as country clubs" and which
for lack of an accurate idiom we call
by the same appellation. These are
large tracts of rural land, extensive
enough to be laid out in polo fields
and 18-hole golf courses, and besides
requiring terrain that is rugged in
some places and level in others to pro-
vide the hazards for the different
sports, the area must also be supplied
with appropriate buildings in which
the frequenters of the games may rest
and refresh themselves.
This requirement has led us to the
foreign architecture of the Club house"
or country club" Fortunately the
type OF building used for these resorts
OF the sport enthusiasts in England and
North America are styles very suitable
for our own climatic conditions. Sew
eral structures on the English order
have already been erected near Chilean
cities, containing gymnasiums, dress
ing rooms, dining salons. libraries and
smoking apartments. They are large,
