Americas Open Door
New York TimeS)

New York Tines
The international crisis has not created any new
obligations between the great mass OF American
citizens and the aliens who legally resident here.
1t has, however, emphasized the old obligations. The
citizen is more than ever obliged to be friendly
toward the neighbor in our midst, to set him good
example of citizenship, to be willing to learn from
him as well to share experiences with him, to
bear in mind that the good American is who be-
eves in certain principles of democracy tolerance
and respect for the rights of Others.
The alien has his obligations too. If he plans
permanent residence here, of his obligations is
to renounce his allegiance to the foreign Govern
ment of which he has been citizen or a subject
and to become citizen of his adopted land. He
can do this by filing declaration OF intention to
become an American ctizen-his first papers" At
the end of another two years he can petition for
citizenship, and after total residence of five years
in this country he take examination which
will admit him to citizenship To pass this examina
ton he must be able to speak English and must
possess enough knowledge of form of govern
ment to convince a Federal State judge that he
can vote intelligently Then he to be an
alien
To suggest that the resident foreigner apply for
citizenship is to offer him this countrys hospitality
and protection He should not stay outside on the
doorstep The door is open. He should come in
and help the rest of the family with the chores.

Manton Asks Supreme \
Court To Reuiew Case

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is Up -
Asserting that the lower courts had
afforded him mo reasonable chance"
to clear himself former Federal Cir
cult Judge Martin T. Manton of New
York, asked the supreme court today
to review his conviction or a charge
of conspiracy to sell judicial favors.
In a petition to the court, Man.
toms attorneys argued that public
policy demanded that Manton be
given every opportunity to clear
himself, if he could, because such a
conviction "tends to destroy h
confidence of the people in tho
courts"
1t added, however, that II Manton
lis unable to clear himself before
this court he deserves any denuncia-
ton this court might give"
1--WE ask this court, for the honor
of the American judiciary, to give
him his chance here" the petition
concluded.

more than two cents.
Some buying was inspired by
threatening European news but
many dealers regarded the market
as being due for an upturn after the
steady decline Of the past two weeks
which had erased 10 cents or more
from quotations. Mills were under.

which were attracted only higher

reports from the southwest were

ideas regarding the benefits the crop
may derive from recent moisture.

vention of the organization by tell
ing the delegates:
Using the 1923-1925 average as a
normal base of 100, our sales during
the latter part of 1899 yer around
"a per cent against 81 per cent a
year ago. Inventories are in good
shape and a creditable JOB has been
done in turnover.
1--WE enter 1910 with a business
volume at the highest level since
May, 1880. We have a reasonable
assurance that there is a satisfac.
tory road ahead, barring unpredic-
