duty is to safeguard the interests Of
our own people
Explaining further, Doak said that
in the early days of the Government
immigration was encouraged because
there was need for both agricultural
and industrial labor.
But of late years." he added, there
are comparatively few of the immi-
grants arriving who go to the farms,
and there Is generally sufficient other
labor here for practically all our needs.
There may be instances where a par
ticular kind of labor is required for
the best interests of developing a new
industry. but even these instances are
very much limited in the present emer-
gency.
Modern methods of production and
improved labor-saving machinery have
curtailed the opportunities, particularly
for common labor. The great bulk of
all immigrants who come here come to
work, and where we have enough labor
in this country we are proceeding upon
false premise when we accentuate our
employment problems by encouraging q
flow of immigration which cannot be
absorbed and will only increase the
number who must be provided with
employment"
Many Aliens Deported.
Detailing then the legislative enact
ments set up in the past decade to curb
immigration, and the consequent efforts
of those held out by law, to evade the
barriers, Mr.. Doak said that In the 10
years 92,157 aliens have been deported
under warrants and 95,147 subject to
deportation have been permitted to de-
part voluntarily, after apprehension.
But deportation, he said, Is not q
simple matter, and it is not safe TO
predict" that all deportable aliens could
be expelled "in any period of years"
Some of the problems he outlined In
this connection were first of all, locating
the alien; making case that would
stand court test; finding out the country
of origin, and then getting the consent
of the country to which deportation is
ordered.
Problem Is Perplexing.
'Let me impress you the growing
perplexities with which we are con-
fronted in the influence which immigra-
ton yields upon our economic situa-
ton and the future of our native born
and naturalized workers." he said in
conclusion.
while 1t may be to many q matter
of regret that the United States can
no longer be regarded as refuge for
the oppressed peoples of the world as q
matter of fact the restriction of i'm
migration was not adopted by the
United States until its absolute rccAs-
sity had been demonstrated, and In this
connection 1t Is well to remember that
our country did not lead in limiting
immigration but rather that it followed
the example of practically every civilized
nation on earth"

Doak'S speech will be found in the edi-
torial section of this issue of The Starr

a series OF developments which followed
the hearings on the electric rates for
this year. After these hearings the
commission announced that under the
present decree the Potomac Electric
Power Co. was earning too much money,
and declared it's intention of going to
court to secure a modification which
would allow more of the profits to go to
the consumers, by way of reduced rates
rather than to the company.
Find Parallel Case.
Shortly afterward Justice Jennings
Bailey of District Supreme Court wrote
an opinion In another case involving q
consent decree-the decree regulating
the conduct of certain meat packers
under the Sherman antitrust law. The
commission secured copy of this de-
cree, and on January asked Mr.. Bride
for an opinion, based on the decree, as
TO the best method of procedure TO fol-
low in getting the electric rate decree
amended
About noon Friday Mr.. Bride notified
the commission that his opinion would
be ready for 1t early yesterday. About
four hours later the commission sum-
moned him, gave him written instruc-
tions on how to proceed and told him
that his opinion would not be neces-
sary. In the meantime Vice Chairman
Harleigh H. Hartman of the commits
sion, who is also lawyer, had studied
the decision in the Packer case and
come to the conclusion that the way to
proceed was to file a petition in Equity
Court asking to have the decree modi-
fed Mr.. Bride informed the commits
sion that this was not the best way to
proceed, and said that he would insist
on filing his opinion, so as to have 1t
on record. Then If the commission still
insisted in proceeding along the lines
decided, he would yield and prepare the
petition.
Chairman Mason M Patrick OF the
commission told reporters that the
commissions summary action was not
meant as an afront to or criticism OF
Mr.. Bride, but Mr.. Bride left no doubt
In their minds that he considered him
self affronted. While he would not
make a statement on the plan he in
tends to suggest to the commission, 1t
was reported he will advise that the
commission proceed either to a re-
valuation of the company's property
or summary order a reduction in
rates, acting under the powers granted
1t in section Is of the Public Utilities
Commission act, and without reference
to the consent decree.
If the company decides to resist this
step it would have to take the case tC
court, placing on it the burden of es-
tablishing its case. The shoe is on the
| other foot, according to this doctrine
should the commission itself decide to
become moving party in bringing the
case into court

ANOTHER ENCOURAGING
 ANNOUNCEMENT.

The announcement of Hainer Hnshaw, Vice-Presi- dent of the American Airways, parent company Of the Alaska Airways that air service will be established between Juneau on the Coast and Fair banks and Anchorage in the Alaska Railroad dis trict is encouraging to the people of this City. It will bring the Interior and the railroad belt within a single day of Juneau and ought to increase bus- ness at both ends of the line Such line, co-operat- ing with the Alaska Washington Airways that has been giving such fine service in Southeast Alaska, ought to be given mail contracts without hesita- ton.
 Quick and economical transportation and mall service are the best developers in any pioneer coun try. The progress of civilization in the West has been spesded in proportion as transportation and mail facilities have been improved two days service between Seattle and Fairbanks and Anchor age with stops at Juneau, Ketchikan, Whtehorse and other points will be of incalculabe benefit to those engaged in business and the industries in the North and will be wonderful aid to tourist devel- opment It will immediately add millions to the wealth of the North.
 One of the very best services of one day trips between Southeast Alaska and the Interior will be to bring the people of the sections into closer touch with each other. That in itself will count for development of the right sort.
 An important factor in making this sort of a service practicable, and that by all means ought to be accomplished as a first step, would be the assurance of cooperation between the Alaska Airways and the Alaska Washington Air ways Both are authentic institutions The Alaska Washington has earned by efficient service the con- fidence and friendship of the people of Southeast Alaska
