Fear of Foreigners

At the present time Americans, officials and private citizens alike are eurously fear ful of foreigners, therein resembling the Chinese. The insistenee on putting the bars up against new immigration and sending aliens back to their native lands is eharac- teristic of the general attitude. They must not be allowed to take jobs away from na- tive workers. They must not be allowed to become public charges on any community They must not dilute our Amercanism.
 It is possible that we have gone too far in the matter. We had gone too far in the other direction before ,and had admitted aliens too freely with too little interest in their adaptability to the new world There must be a middle way. fair to America as we'll as to the foreigners who seek to be- come Americans.
 Much of our industrial development and real estate value depended on the steady stream of human beings coming to our shores. They provided needed labor. They consumed industrial products and sought homes in which to live. With the national birth rate dropping little and the imml- grant stream practically shut off many im- portant activities have to slow down.
 Quite apart from these selfish, or rather practical reasons for thinking twice, and seriously, about the immigration problem. is the matter of enrichment of American culture Many of. the aliens coming to our land have brought gifts of music. folk dances, handcrafts and literature which were worth treasurng and cultivating. America must learn how to handle this problem with justice and mutual benefit.

Chicago Warns Washington

The Federation of American Business, with headquarters in Chicago, sends this billet doux to Congress-: Tt is our belief that the financial policies which the federal government has been pursuing in recent years and is still pursuing will, if continued, reduce the United States Treasury to in- solvcncy. and if present demands for appro- priations are granted, the debacle will come soon
 You have balanced your books by bor- rowing. Deliberate over-appropriation in expectation of recourse to borrowing for payment of ordinary and recurring expenses is to invite financial disaster.
 The Federation can see. out of its own office windows how such a method ends, Washington might learn from Chicago. Some of the dangerous things have been done lightly in times of proseprty, others under seeming compulsion when diversity came. It is plainly time to adopt drastic policy of economy in the most wasteful corporation in America--the United States government

Any More Progress?

It is said often nowadays that what in- dustry needs is new inventions or new ideas to pull itself out of this lethargy. After every previous depression, it is argued, there was some new factor, some original idea or improvement, which started industry for ward again. Many people seems to feel now that there isn't any such miracle worker in sight, and that perhaps our age has exhausted its oaptcity for innovation and progress
 Henry l.. Ellsworth, commissioner of patents felt that way in l844. Observing what astounding advances had been made in mechanical arts during his lifetime, he deeld- ed that there wasn't much more to do, and economic progress must soon slow down and come to a standsill. His actual words were: The advancement of the arts from year 10 year taxes our creduity and seems to presagc the arrival of that period when human improvement must end.
 Was there any human improvement, any progress, after l844? We ask you. And will there be any progress hereafter? Well, Patrick Henry was more of spellbinder than an economist, but he certainly laid down a sound principle when he said. We have no way of judging the future but by the past

Gold From India

On February 1 Great Britain was able, without drawing on a 5000 900, GOO gold reserve in the Bank of England, 10 ship Sl5O,OOO,0O0 of gold abroad, half to France and half to America to meet credit obligations The gold comes from India. That ancient land has been secret store house of god for thousands of years. Ma tive princes, merchants and capitalists have always had their secret boards It has been estimated that ,he idle gold in India amount ed 10 S2.OOO, 900. GOO or 5000 900, GOO a5t year there was d noticeable eXporatIon of the metal especially after Great Britain went off the gold standard as much as one third of the world new production. Lately this movement has increased until the yellow stream from India is said week by week. to be larger than the output of all the world mines.
 Part of IL comes from pressure eXerted by the British government, which still wants gold Most of it IS due apparently to natural economic forces. I he princes and capital i,ti are willing 10 spend gold abroad espe- cially in England because at present prices, with gold at premium they can buy 90 10 40 per cent more for their money than tbey could in silver or paper money. The effect is bound 10 be felt in America It is one of the forces which. supplementlng our own efforts al credit expansion, tends to overcome our excessive defation with wholesome amount of re-inflaton.

Pocket Diplomas

Here is daring and original idea, which radical as it is, may only need mentioning to find acceptance. A high school principal flies in the face of academic precedent cen- tures old by giving graduates a diploma small enough to go into pocket or be car- ried in d pocketbook. like dollar bill.
 It might often be advantageous, the prin- cipal figures, if a graduate applying for a job could prove himself edcated by flashing his diploma. That is a difficult matter with an ordinary sheepskin So the diploma hangs in frame on the wall, or lies for gotten in a bureau drawer with it's ribbon around it. How much better in every way if such cultural credentials could be presented anywhere as easily as letters of introduction! Girls could carry them in their purses along side their vanity cases. It is just too bad though, for the parchment makers

If there is to be any federal economlzng Congress will see to it that it is done right and not the President, according to the ac

If you really want to ac- compish something toward reducing Gov ernment expenditures. why don't you give the President the power he asked for and put the responsibility on his doorstep" The retort came from Representative Bank head. democrat, of Alabama, and was as follows: This has been lying on the Presidents doorstep for ten years.

Airplane Regularity

A homesteader, living in lonely region west of Fl Paso, Texas, has only one con- tact with the outside world He is on the route of the mail planes flying to Los Angeles. They do not stop. but they drop newspaper for him as they fly over. Re- gently the pilots of one of those planes were handed letter from the homsteader. He asked them to drop message giving him the correct tirne. His clock had stopped. That is new service for the mail planes, but it has possibilities.
 It is little strange, however. that he
 needed to have note dropped. People living on some of the mail routes find the planes so regular in their schedules that they use them for checking their own timepieces A resident in country town remarked to friend that the planes were on time more thaa the local railroad trains. The latter

Senator Dill democrat. of Washington proposes that checking privileges be exten- ded to all postal savings accounts. He has presented bill which would permit check ing accounts up to S5,000 in addition to the present $2,500 limit on savings ac- counts. Says the senator, This legislation will do more to stop boarding and get money into actual circulation than all the presidential appeals and urgent insistenee of bankers and citizens can do .. .' Maybe SO, but we aren't so certain about it. Perhaps it might injure commercial accounts in many of our banks If there were heavy withdraw als from banks to take advantage of pos tai accounts what good would this be. It would simply injure the banks standing which in turn would affect all those deposi- tors who still maintain faith in our bank ing system. There are too many sides to this question for it 10 be decided in just one statement.

Sounds Logical

Representative William L. Tierney of Greenwich has introduced a novel amend ment to the appropriations bill now under such scrutiny from representatives. It IS the Connecticut eongressman's opinion that fed eral aid for the enforcement of prohibition be withheld from those states which do not match the appropriation with similar amount. The idea behind this proposal IS, of course. simply to defeat the intention of prohibtionists of keeping their appropria- ton at the same high figure it has been now for some years. The federal bureau of pro- hibition enforcement in the Department of Justice is not being deprived of one cent less than it had in this past year according to the present budget.
 It is one of the few bureaus that have withstood the wave of slashing in which the President and every other federal offl- cal has concurred. But, mo- prohibition must continue as it has in the past. There must be millions spent in vain effort to persuade an unwilling nation to follow un- natural paths. We sincerely hope that our legislators at Washington will display sui fieient backbone 10 defeat this cndeavor. If all federal bureaus are to aid in keeping down expenses there must be no partiality shown. And only by such tactics as Rep resentative Tierney IS now using can this be accomplished
 The congressman maintains that May state that as far as my own state of Con- nccticut IS concerned there IS little likcli- hood of our legislature voting for such funds. We have never approved the elgh- tcenth amendment and by large majority we look forward to the day when we can vote to wipe if off the statute books The arlendment to the appropriations bill as proposed by Representative Tierney is as fol- lows: Provided that no moneys appro- priatcd in this act for the enforcement of prohibition shall be expended in any state the Legislature of which declines to directly appropriate sum equal to the amount ap- p.opriated of the federal appropriation es- timated to be expended in sald state for the enforcement of the prohibition amendment and the laws applicable thereto. ."
 There are few states in which the Legls- latures would appropriate amounts equal to that which the federal government spends Tn enforcing prohibition within it's boundaries In the first place there would be few state Solons who would agree that the state was obligated to spend any more than it actually does today in the ordinary enforcement of tbe law. whether it be prohibition or any thing else And even if there were many states where sums would be appropriated for such purposes it would not be possible for many 10 find the money available Thus it can be seen that if Congress ever approved of Representative 1Icrneys pro- viso, it would be death blow at the prohibition cause in the entire nation. We wish other legislators would drive nails like this into prohibition coffin

Washington.-One of the things tkat has made Speaker Jack Gar ner so popular in the house has been his willingness to let other members take such glory as they find in sponsoring bills.
 He thinks too many bills are in- troduced and that there are too many laws. In 30 years here, he estimates, he hes introduced about 60 measures, which is certainly law record for such q long period.
 Prominent members are often asked by outside groups to spon- sor bills in which they are inter- ested: some congressman and sena- tors arc very keen about doing that. But, although Garner has often been willing to prepare bills he has turned them over to others. In that way he has built up much good will among democrats less in- fuential than himself.
 Represents 800. .OOO Persons
 Representing a district of about 50O,000 persons, the speaker. like all other members, sometimes has to introduce pensions and private relief bills. The only bill of greater import which he has put in this session is one which would cede the abandoned military reservation of Camp Eagle Pass to the city of Eagle Pass, which Is in the Garner district.
 "I think we could repeal, about a third of our laws and the coun- try would get along just as we'll lot rf f,t. solete laws and there are many activities that could be cut out.
 Every law we pass means cer- tain additional expense, directly or indirectly. About 16,0O0 bills are presented here in the average con gress."
 The great volume of bills consists of private measures--for the bene- fit, that is, of an individual. usual ly a veteran or his heirs. These are carefully scrutiniZed, but of course there is d liberal standing policy as regards all veterans.
 More than 5000 bills have been introduced in the house already during this session and about 3.700 in the sepate. Many of the senate bills duplicate House bills. .IncTe are more puDiaC oiIlo eh'' year than ordinarily because 50 many problems are in the public mind which evoke schemes to solve them by legisla ton.
 
 Thc Busy MT Grail
 MT Joe Grail, congressman from Los Angeles, has introduced up- wards of 400 bills, more than any other member of congress. The i vast majority are pensions and re- lief measures. It was one of Crails minor bills which the House was about to pass the other day when 1t was suddenly discovered that the ! bill had been passed at the last session and the money paid to the | beneficiary.

The lowly Naugatuck river isn't so lowly ofter all Down at Ansona it is so much of real river that Mayor Cook has enlisted the services of a real diver to search the river bottom for the body of an Ansona resident believed to have drowned. Dragging of the river failed to reveal the body, so a professional diver from Bridge port was brought to the valley city to search for it. The man in question was being chased by railroad police. They fired four shots at him and it is feared that they may have sent him to his death in the murky waters of the Naugatuck. We don't believe a diver has ever descended into its depths before on such a purpose.

 one might expect to find at least faint historical piety toward France in Missouri, q part of La Salles immense gift of territory to Louis XIV and itself called Louisi- ana for the first few years after the purchase. Marquette, Joliet, La Sale are names of general honor Liguest and Chouteau, founders of st Louis, deserve local worship. But St Louis, in the long war be- tween town and country, must be taboo to the rural politician. At present the unfeeling conduct of France in daring to take her own view of her own interests seems to enlarge the hatred of St Louis in the Missouri bucolic bosom into a hatred of all persons and things French.
 | In the house of representatives Friday bill for the relief of Harry Cinq- Mars came up. To Mir Lozier of the second Missouri district the name recalled that young favorite. of Louis XIII whom Richelieu | caught in conspiracy and sent to the block. Harry" and Henry" are "interchangeable names" said MT LoZier gravely, though he prob ably knew that the seventeenth century lad was Marquis De Cinq- Mars and no more Henri Cinq- Mars than the present Marquess of Salisbury Is James Salisbury. | Whatever his name, the fellow was | French. Mir Lozier's motto IS 1 "Gaul must be destroyed:
 A lunacy commission will be in
 order when I vote to pay the
 money of the American taxpayers
 to French -Frenchman. If this
 particular Cinq-Mars is an Amer
 ican- n-Frenchman-tha is. an
 American citizen-then am 100
 per cent for him and his bill,
 even If French blood courses
 through his veins, In view of the
 gross ingratitude of the French
 people and their evident inten-
 ton to repudiate their indebted
 ness to Uncle Sam, I want to be
 assured that the passage. of this
 bill will not put any more Amer
 ican money in the pockets of any
 citizen of France.
 l MT LOzier was appeased. Harry Cinq- Mars, a former United States cavalryman, shall henceforth be considered as having been "honor- ably discharged from the military service of the United States" A voter is q voter, even if he be of French origin. But at the French of France the horn of defiance blows:
 I do not want any more Amer
 ican money to find its way to
 France to add to their store of
 wealth, their stock of arrogance or their war-chest for the restor-
 ation of the Napoleonic age. Let
 our slogan be Millions for Amer
 ican Cinq- Mars; not Q cent for
 French Cinq- Mars"
