COTTON GOODS

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S G.N.S).-The
coarse yarn cloths market was quiet
affair today. with trading confined to
modest quantities for quick shipments
and prices of spots generally soft.
There were a few houses which report
ed good interest in industrial special
ties, of which moderately good guam
titles were reported moved. but these
were exceptions to the general rule
OF dull trading. Many traders were
showing concern over the rate of pro-
duction. and the need for curtailment
was said to have grown rather strongly.
Untitled orders in most divisions are
lower than is consistent with a healthy
market condition. but SO far as print
cloths broadcloths and sheetings are
concerned there has been no substantial
reduction in output.

BY GERALD GRAY.

BY GERALD GhAT.
TINE quota system Of controlling
immigration is today like a
large abandoned building. A
n makeshift immigration-co control
system stands beside it, somewhat like
a shed hastily thrown together from
odd bits Of old laws and new execu-
tive rulings. This emergency struc-
ture Is doing a lively business on a
small scale. Bulk immigration has
been suspended, but the very appre-
ciable stream which still enters is
controlled by an improvised admins
trative system regarding which Con-
gress and the country know very little.
At present, In effect, there are three
primary tests of -admissibility for
would-be immigrants into the United
States. These tests are derived theo-
retically from various minor pro-
visions of former legislation and regu-
lations, but for practical purposes they
virtually constitute a new basic immi-
grafton system. They are as follows:
/. Does the applicant possess pecu-
mary TeSOuTCeSI
2. Does the applicant have an
American wife or American relatives?
. 3. Has the applicant managed to
get in somehow and to secure an
American job and American friends?
Two Tests Non-Selective.
The first test has genuine practical
value in connection with our imme-
diate economic difficulties, but it does
not select at all the types of immi-
grants broadly preferable for future
citizenship. The second test possesses
frequently (though hardly more than
humanitarian Justification, but It is,
of course, also non-selective. The
third test not only subverts long
Evening star., 1935-12-08

likely to seek public relief, although,
as a matter of fact, the immigrants
who are now actually being admitted
under this theory belong in large part
to those races which figure most
heavily on the relief rolls.
It might have been supposed that
after the emergency curtailment had
once been effected the new situation
would have received some measure OF
statesmanlike consideration and would
have been to some extent utilized as
an opportunity for experimenting with
selective tests other than the racial
origins tests embodied in the aban-
doned quota legislation. The condi-
tons were, and still are, ideal for try
ing out such new tests.
Defense Further Weakened.
The House Of Representatives, how
ever. was reorganized just at that time
the Autumn of 1890 and the Winter
of 1931-by leaders known to be favor
able to the admission of certain spe-
cia1 racial strains; and the Hoover
administration was unable to hazard
q recasting Of the immigration act.
The New Deal has continued to cling
to the public charge clause stop-gap
expedient, and at present is seeking
to weaken this already defective de-
fense' by providing that aliens who
have once secured admission, by fraud,
desertion or the visitors privilege,
shall be granted permanent status
through a bureaucratic board sitting
at Washington.
The logical criteria for slecting new
immigrants are well known. New
corners should be admitted because of
their intelligence, physique, character
and assimilability. The least impor-
tant and most fallacious of all pos
sible criteria is the property test-yet
it Is this test, except as waived for
the benefit of irregular entrants and
relatives, which now determines the
choice of our new immigrants.
It Is manifest that no immigrant
should be admitted If he is likely to
become a public charge. 1t should be
equally manifest. that his prospects in
this connection are in reality deter
mined by his capacities and char
acter, rather than by the possession
at a given moment either Of funds,
relatives or an American job. The
availability to each intending entrant
Of few hundred dollars Is certainly
desirable, and II he has connections
in the United States capable of carry
ing him for time, so much the bet
ter. From the standpoint Of the i'm
mediate problem, indeed, these con-
ditions are indispensable.
But in the long run the future Of
any immigrant in our country really
hinges upon his own success or failure,
and the matter Of his immediate sup
port is relatively Of subordinate i'm
portance. The real question is whether
Evening star., 1935-12-08

dispute became minor and that the
question of war or peace was one be-
tween Rome and London. When the
British dispatched their ships to Gil
braltar and Alexandria they presented
a pistol at Mussolinis head and de-
manded submission which, in effect.
would constitute humiliation at once
intolerable to Italian pride and fatal
to II Duce and the Fascist regime.
Yet none among the European dip
lomats in Washington has ever mis-
taken the reality Of the situation as
contrasted with the pretty fiction Of
League activity accepted by our State
Department. Again and again have
heard repeated the single question,
"Will the British consent to let Mus
soIini have that irreducible minimum
of a victory in his Ethiopian affair
without which he is ruined, or have
they resolved 20 destroy him now to
avoid trouble later?" AS to the
Leagues part, no one has taken 1t
seriously of itself or regarded it as
other than an instrument in British
hands.
British Incorporating.
AS long as our State Department
chung to the notion of League action,
as long as it thought Of the crisis as
moral and not political, so long was
it bound in the very nature of things
to play into British hands. And, OF
course, every. effort Of British propa-
ganda has been TO create and preserve
this illusion while, In fact, Great
Britain pursued toward Mussolini
exactly the same uncompromiSing
course that It once adopted toward
Napoleon. Again, in fact, there were
not lacking British voices which sug-
gested that the present British policy
was wiser than that of the earlier.
since it aimed at destroying MuSsolini
before he had reached imperial
stature.
What the American public and the
State Department have failed to grasp
fully in this crisis is that whenever
Great Britain gets into dispute with
any other country over political or
imperial questions, which are utterly
destitute of moral content, it will
strive again, as it did successfully
during the World War, to persuade the
American people that its action is
determined by concern for moral prin-
ciple, for the sanctity Of treaties or
the reign Of international law. The
design of all such enterprises is to
create the impression in the United
States that mere concern for morality
must make America the ally Of Britain.
Unless all signs fail, Congress when
1t reconvenes will come back fully
awake to the fashion In which its
own neutrality act has been nullif1ed
and as a consequence we have been
made the more or less unconscious ally
Of England against Italy, because the
Evening star., 1935-12-08

State Department has been dominated
by League sentiments and British
sympathies. Coming from recent con-
tact with the people the members OF
Congress will know, as the State De-
partment cannot, how the masses OF
the people feel at the spectacle Of the
steady drift of American policy to
the support of one of two European
rivals and to the championship OF
British imperialism against italian.
These legislators who have italian
constituents will, moreover, have
poignant feelings on this score.
The old battle Of 1919 between the
executive and legislative branches of
the Government, the one practising
involvement, the other demanding
neutrality, seems likely to be fought
again. Actually however, to be neu-
tral II Is necessary not merely to
refrain from open alliance but also
from falling into trap which makes
us q silent partner Of one OF two
nations at odds.
