Anv country will extend hos
uitalitv to foreigners without
TOO deep scrutiny into their poll
teal and religious tcnctS. so
long AZ their wide vacant spaces
and dire need of expanding the
POPULATION. For this reason we
have made welcome during the
past one hundred years thirty
million immigrants to our shores.
Put since we have become popu-
lation conscious and have been
made aware that our country s
resources are not too large Tor
orr own peOple. we have been
raising higher and higher t h e
bars of Immigration excluding
foreigners in the order of UNI
desireability. First of all we
rigidly excluded all non Cauca-
slams. In the second place we
put under the ban non-nordlcs,
and in the third place the ignor-
ant, the worthless and criminal
classes. SO t h now only a
quota of each nation is admiss-
able, without reference to re-
ligious belief or political creed.
Whatever may be the polite
al restrictions placed by Japan
upon the Chinese population
of Manchukuo, President Roose-
Welt and Secretly Hull cannot
invite the prosecuted and Op-
pressed Chinese to seek Ameri-
can asylum: for the simple reas
on that our immigration laws
forbid. Our boosted hospitality
is limited to the white race and
to certain type of political and
economic philosophy. In won
der if England will offer hospi-
tality to the Arabs Of Palestine
whose patriotic impulse and re-
ligiOus connection prompt them
to rebel against the Jewish state
which England has set up in the
Holy Land? All our hospitality
is limited to a circumscribed
circle of racial, religious and
political orthodoxy.
When humanitarian impulse of
America impelled her to rebuke
Hitler for his barbarity and in
humanity the Jews, Adolph
Hitler made one adroit. devast-
ing rejoinder, MY ruthlessness
against the Jews is not more
harsh and inhuman than yours
against the Negroes. Thou
hypocrite, first cast out the
mote from thine own eye, be

that it is unanswerable. In in

Controller Rowland
 Is Making Demands
(Continued from Page D

troller Rowland, January 6, 1888:
 I am going to report to the board of finance this afternoon that war rant books which are highly inn portant financial records of the city are still missing from the office of the controller.
 These books cover financial trans actions for 1886 and for 1887, with the exception of December 1887.
 In view of this and other devel- opments, I am going to ask the finance boards support in demand ing that I be allowed to have made full audit of the controllers books with funds properly appro- priated to me for that purpose ac- cording to the city charter. This audit has thus far been denied me.
 One of my first acts Monday morning after I had taken office was to call in the members of the staff. I asked them collectively if all books and records were in prop CT order and in the office. MT. Pur- cell reported that the 1886 warrant book was missing. I ordered an i'm mediate search and report.
 Shortly afterward, I was notified that the 1887 book was also missing, and was informed that my prede- cessor, MT. Leary had been told by MT. Purcell Friday that the 1886 book was gone.
 Notified MT. Leary
 I immediately notified MT. Leary of my discovery. cited to MT. Leary the provision in the city charter which calls for an outgoing office holder to turn over to his successor all books, papers and records per- taining to the business of the office
 MT. Leary informed me that a closer search would probably re- veal the books.
 These books were kept in vault in the controllers office, according to members of the office force. I have not been able to find where any one person was responsible for them, although they were used by virtually everyone in the office.
 Is Very Determined
 My next step will be decided after the finance board is notified that they are missing. These are highly important records, showing what amount of money has been paid by the city and to whom, and no stone will be left unturned to:
 1. Restore them to my office;
 2. Fix responsibility for their ab- sence, no matter where such re- sponSibility strikes.
 The finances of the city will and must be run on an accurate and efficient basis with every detail open and above board as long as the people want me to serve them in the controllers office.

 Geographical and political con- alterations suggest that MT. Roose- welt will name a western New Dealer to the court, but there is nc absolutely compelling reason why he must go west for a man merely because Sutherland was from Utah Senate gossip favors Solicitor Gen. eral Stanley Reed.
 Child Labor Doomed
 The new Roosevelt Court" prob ably would uphold legislation to for bid child labor, in the opinion of New Deal lawyers in Congress. Ap- pointment of a Roosevelt justice" to succeed Sutherland will put a great and needed prop under the forthcoming New Deal crop control bill which Congress may finally enact this month.
 The old agricultural adjustment act was invalidated in January, 1886, by 6-to-3 vote in which the majority supported Associate Justice Owen J. Roberts opinion that the act provided for compulsory regu- lation of agricultural products; that such regulation was not within the scope of federal power; and that the act, therefore, invaded the rights reserved to the states by the 10th amendment to the Constitution.
 6 to Lead Is Gone
 That adverse 6-to-3 majority Is gone now, or will be when Suther- land leaves the bench January IS. He and former Associate Justice Willis Van DeVanter were two of the six. Van DeVanter was succeeded by Black, who believes the AAA was constitutional. MT.

 2. An assertion that 8 "bind21g , agreement" is the result desired un- der the law and that such an agree ment is automatically imposed upon an employer as sign that he is bar gaining in good faith. This issue was sharply raised in the c. I. O. steel strike when Tom Girdler, Republic Steel Corporation chairman, said he did not consider any form of agree ment necessary under the law.
 Can Hire, Discharge
 3. A statement by the board that the law "is not intended to inter fere generally with the freedom of an employer to hire and discharge as he please. He may discharge (employes) in the interest of efflcien- cy or from personal animosity or sheer caprice. But in making these decisions he must not differentiate between one of his employees and an- other, or between his actual and his potential employees, on grounds of union affiliation or activity"
 Board Jurisdiction
 4. Declaration by the board that the supreme court Wagner Act deci- sions gives the board jurisdiction under the act over all producing and manufacturing enterprises which, in connection with their producing or manufacturing operations, re- ceive or ship in interstate commerce substantial part of their raw mate rials or manufactured products"
 Exclusive Bargaining
 5. A defense ot granting exclusive bargaining recognition to one union in large plants because "the func- tional coherence and interdepend- ence of the various departments in mass production industries has often impelled the board to treat all of the production and main tenance employees of a given con- pany as a single unit" This trend

 OF SUDDEN DROP

 lay of men and believed his action was better than putting all the men on very short hours.
 Knudsen said that the 1887 earn ings per share for General Motors were $4.48 compared to $5.35 for 1886. The surplus at the end of the first II months of 1887 was $452,- 547000, or $54,000,00 over 1886, he said.
 General Situation
 Knudsen explained the general situation in his concern as follows:
 "The present situation, necessitat- ing reduction in the wroking force is about as follows: Sales in 1887 were excellent both on new and used cars, and despite the handicap of the strikes were at a point where it looked as ig 1886 figures would be reached or bettered.
 Consequently, the factory sched- ules were set to equal the last quar- ter of 1886 and employment ar ranged accordingly on 40-hour week basis. October and November retail deliveries in the United States were 225,l09 new General Motors cars agans 199,63O in 1886 and 379.- 657 used cars against 357,124 in 1886.
 Another Severe Drop
 During the last 10-day period in November, however, severe drop in sales of both new and used cars took place. In fact, the total dropped to 70 per cent of 1886.
 We still hoped that this would be the low point and expected to keep the men working, on shortened hours, but when the second period in December showed a drop to AS per cent of 1886, 1t became neces- sary to adjust the working force, which was done by retaining all the men we could take care of on a twenty-rour hour week basis, and laying off the baalnce.
 Tn order to avoid misunderStand- ingS by the men and the public generally, statement was issued by the corporation under date off De- cember 28, setting forth the reason ] for the adjustment"

 The increase for the National Advisory Committee for aeronautics was designed to help research speed the day when flying boats will carry passengers from New York to Lon don.
 The committee said it had noted that nearly 5000 persons are em- ployed in regional offices of the Home Owners Loan Corporation It promised to explore the opera tions of the regional offices in their relation to the work of the state oNt:;c<s in the hope that duplication of effort can be eliminated whereby material reductions in personnel may be effected"
