Opposes "Mortgaging" of
immigration Quotas.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Recommendations have been made by
a few OF our politicians to mortgage the
German immigration quota for several
years in advance in order that we may
have an influx OF Germany's prosecuted
Jews. This question should not be de-
cided by few politicians who have never
had to earn living in their lives. It
should be decided on by a vote of the
American people who have a right to
protect their interests in life. We have
about 100000 Americans out of work,
so in mortgaging the German immigra-
ton quota, we also mortgage the very
existence Of our American born loyal
subjects.
We have Americans living in poverty
today, which parallels anything to be
found In Europe. They should be our
Evening star., 1938-12-17

first thought, so instead of mortgaging
their welfare and existence by mortgag-
ing the Jewish immigration quota, we
should make it law that no foreign
born person could work and receive wages
or commissions nor engage in any busi-
ness or profession until first becoming an
American citizen. Deport all foreigners
who have not applied for American citi-
zenship papers and so per cent of our
unemployment troubles will be cured.

only when it has suffered another
devastating shock like that of 1914
1918 will humanity blunder back to
normalcy. The universal disease of
tyranny, greed, violence and hate
may be incurable by any medicine
with which living men are familiar.
Yet miracles do happen. Perhaps
simply because the patient is so sick,
he may find ways and means to cure
himself

Shooting Stors
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Far From the Scene.
De man dat stahts de trouble
Is very seldom found
A facin' of de music
When de trouble comes around.
He's found a-takin' comfort
In a nest dat's feathered warm,
While some innocent bystander
Has to stand an face de storm.
I doesn' do no kickin'
An I hasn' much to say,
Cause it do seem like all nature
Was conducted dat-away.
We's got to face de climate
Wifi de snowclouds overhead,
While dat interferin' rascal
Is a-sleepin' safe in bed!

Happy Survival.

Happy Survival.
Father broke the ladder
Fixing up the tree;
Mother set herself on fire
She's scared as she can be-.
The cat has singed her whiskers,
And the dog is walkin' lame
Such things don't count on Christmas
Well be merry just the same.

@. Please give some information on the
origin Of the G. I. O.-D. H.
A. The organization Of the C.. I, o.
was based on feeling that q general
change from craft to industrial unionism
was necessary, because Of the change in
the basic industries during the past quar-
ter Of century. 1t was felt by those
who organized the c. I. o. that the
bargaining strength of employees under
present conditions does not rest In Or
ganizations of skilled craftsmen but
rather upon national union represent
ing both skilled and unskiiled employees
in each basic industry.
G. Please define the term millionaire
How many are there in this country
now?-A. G.
A. A millionaire is an individual hav-
Ing property or assets valued at $1,000
900, and should be distinguished from an
individual who has an income Of 81 ,00o-
900 year on which he pays taxes. Gem
orally speaking, an individual who has an
income Of 100000 year or more Is con-
sidered a millionaire, since this would
probably mean that his property would
be valued at 100000. 1t has been est,:
mated by one authority that there are
1887 millionaires in the United States
