Mexican immigration Ban
Sidefracked

This Is a merry cid world. Box. M. C., Texas, real
ICES it. After two weeks Of debate and a score OF
roll calls, the United States returned to committee
the Harris proposal to place quota restriction on i'm
migration from Central and South America. This, BY
a vote OF "a TO 80. killed the legislation for this ses-
sion Of the congress, in the opinion Of leaders. and
leaves the present immigration policy Of the United
States unchanged.
European countries will be limited hereafter 70
10000 immigrants annually on the basis or the newly
established national origin provision. and no r~estric-
tons viii apply TO nations or North and South Aneri-
ca.
Sen. Harris Is a Georgian. He proposed TO restrict
immigration from Europe to the $4,000 figure. His
proposal was voted down without a roll call. and then
Sen. S~hipstead Of Minnesota moved to send the meas
ure back to committee. His motion prevailed.
Now Box, NJ c., OF Texas. II reelected. viii bob up
serenely and demand the application Of the European
quota to all the Latin American republics. When
the showdown comes IL IS safe to predict that Mexican
immigration will be limited to less than 1000 a year.

Federal Aid for Texas Ports

After a fierce session. described by Washington
correspondents Is "a wild. dramatic season. that
bristled with charges Of deception and bribery and
pork barrel legislation" the Sill 900 river and har-
Dor improvement program was approved by the
house. This program carries 154 projects and 346
surveys. including that authorizing the federal gov
eminent to take over the ~Erie-Osvego barge canal
from New York state.
Passage OF the rivers and harbors bill In the house
viii mean TO Texas more than s7.45slOoo. according 70
Congressman Joseph J. Mansfield, Texas member OF
the rivers and harbors committee. It contains the fiat
sum Of s7.oo0.zs5 for coastal harbor projects. as fol-
lows: Houston ship channel. se54.000; Texas City
harbor, S70500o; Port Arkansas channel. 100000;
Corpus Christi channel. s515.o0o; Point Isabel
Brownsville channel and turning basin. 4TS3oo0
It provides for many Texas rivers and streams with
view to controlling flood waters and carrying out pro-
posed dredging projects. As for the total cost Of the
Point Isabel project. the government will paw s215s--
600: the Brownsville navigation district s~2,l75,o0o
and Point Isabel navigation district. s450.oo0.
Texas appears to be coming into its own. Texas
harbors are dotting the Gulf coast from the Mexican
border line to Louisiana. Texas rivers should be sur

for the needs 0. man. Irrigation projects are many
in Texas. Power projects are bobbing up every day

Advice from Overseas

It seems to be the chief function Of visiting Euro
peans to give advice to the United States. Since we
are gradually learning how to ignore such advice, and
since the giving Of it seems to give pleasure to the
donors, the whole system is al very nice. However. it
might be well for our advisors, now and Their, TO get
their facts straight.
A few days ago two distinguished European journ-
alists were in Washington. Entertained at a dinner
party, they arose afterward to speak their minds.
One Of them, Andre Geraud Of Paris, had this TO
say:
Your present position is unexampIed In the history
Of the world. Recently you only had to take so
trouble to file a request to get from proud England
a so per cent share in the imperium Of the seas"
The other. Wickham SteeR Of London, said this:
you have asked and obtained only parity OF
strength. You have not sought parity Of response
bility."
Those two remarks-worth noticing because they
represent so well the understanding attitude OF most
Europeans-seem 70 us TO be somewhat wrong-end-
TO-.
Someone should tell these visitors that America did
not ASK" for naval parity. America granted it.
IN 1921 the United States had, in warships built,
building and appropriated for. the most powerful navy
on earth. No other nation was able to build up 10 US.
II this country had desired It could have kept itself
in first place without the slightest difficulty.
But America did not choose to do so. Voluntarily,
at the Washington conference, it threw away millions
Of dollars worth Of new warships and gave up the
chance OF having unchallenged naval dominion.
That needs 10 be remembered. We are being told,
too often, that we are intensity nationalistic, too sell
fish. Let the visiting Europeans bear In mind that
we gave parity: we did not ask for it, or "fle a re-
quest" This proud Britain that NJ. Geraud speaks
Of was very glad to get parity.
And what is this talk about seeking parity Of re-
sponsibTity"? It does not. really, mean anything; but
what the gentleman evidently had In mind was that It
is somehow our duty to enlbroil ourselves 50 thorough
~ in Europes various ~intrigues that we would in
evitably become involved in the next war that breaks
out over there. Perhaps he can demonstrate that
that is really our solemn duty, but 1t will take some
tall talking.
knack for letting this advice pass in at one ear and
out al the other. Regardless Of that. however, our
self-appointed advisors really should get their facts
straight.

And Jesus going UP to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the
way and said unto them.
Behold, we 80 up to Jerusalem; and the Son Of man shall be betrayed
unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him
to death
And shall deliver him to the Gentles to mock, and to scourge, and to
cruelty him: and the third day he shall rise again.
Then came TO him the mother OF Zebedees children with her sons
worshiping him, and desiring a certain thing OF him; -.
And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto hnl' Grant
that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and III otAeT
on the left, In thy kingdom
But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what We ask. Are We able
to drink OF the cup that / shall drink OF, and TO be baptized with the
baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.
And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed OF my cup. and be bap-
TIED with the baptizm that I am baptized with; but 10 sit on my right
hand and or my left is not mine to give, but It shall be given 70 them
for whom II is prepared Of my Father. -
And when the ten heard IT, they we're moved WIN MolSnalon asallA-
the two brethren.
Brt Jesus called them unto him. and said. Ye know that the princes OF
the Gentles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great e%eT-
else authority upon them
But it shall not be 50 among you: but whoeoever viii be great among
you, let him be your minister:
And whosoever Will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
Even as the son or man came not to be ninistered unto, but to minister.
and 10 give hts life a ransom for many.

Thus IL was that instead Of re-

Christianity was so different from
anythin that even they or their

IL was l-yen n them to share the
cuD or the Master. Concerning one
we have no clear or definite knowl-
edge. It was supposed that he SUI

lowInen that he could express the
supreme experience Of a new relig-
ion in its power to ave in no larger
and more effective way than 10y
saying, we know that we have
passed from death unto life because
we love the brethren"
The two standards become one
standard under the dominance OF
Christ. That is what ought TO hap
pen in all our lives and with al our
standards OF success. What we need
above all else i to learn about Christ
that ON ideals OF success viii be
transformed into ideals that make
our lives worthy not only in sight
OF men but worthy in the sight OF
God.
Il is not enough to be good and
to be strong. but we must be good
for something. and we must be
strong for the highest things Of
life.

Tonics of Spring

Now is the time Of year when the thoughts Of men
turn to spring tonics.
In theory. the spring tonic puts new life into @
man. It snaps him out Of the state Of ssni-hiberna-
ton in which the winter has left him, and sends the
blood coursing through his veins again SO that he
can run and jump and. in general, deport himself
with the energy and vim thu the new season re-
ouires.
rs a matter Of sober fact, Of course. spring torics
generally flivver. They attempt to relieve. in a pure
" physical way. a condition that is chiefly psychic.
