Don't Punish Them
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 One of the little noticed but important bills which may be passed by this session of Congress is that providing for the qualification of all nationality immigration and naturalization laws, qualification which has been sought by the administration since 1933
 The bl already passed by the House and re- ported out by the Senate Immigration Committee. tlas little in it of controversial nature The only dispute is likely to be over provision included in the House bill which if it remained, would take away the citizenship of all Americans who serve in for eign armed forces including those of England and Canada The Senate committee changed this clause only if the citizen swore allegiance to the foreign power.
 If the House provision were to prevail, hundreds of loyal Americans who have realized that Britain s battle is also Americas and have acted on this realization by joining the Canadians the British would be punished for act that should, instead bring them high commendation and honor.
 A good many Americans thus lost their citizen ship by fighting with the Allies before the United States entered the first World War, but reganed it later when Congress corrected the mistake after our entrance
 Canada has lately deferred to this country by making it longer necessary for American recruits to swear allegiance to the king, Now they need only pledge themselves to obey their commanding officers So if Congress passes the naturalization bill in the form approved by it's immigration con- mttee Americans will have the right to join the battle for democracy without fear of the conse- ouences at home. Common sense dictates such action by Congress

 They lost no time swinging into action. First they called in Harry Bates, president of the AFL brick layers, and other building trades officials and got their promise not to discontinue work during the ne- gotiations. Next, Hillman got the Navy Department to summon the contractor, w. s. Bellows, to Wash ington. The result of this trip was that he agreed to meet the workers demands.
 Meanwhile, Daniel J. Sullivan, delft mediator on Hillman's staff was exercising his persuasive tal- ents on the Chamber of Commerce and cotton growers and soon an agreement was signed And so, what had looked like very serious con- troversy ended with everybody again on friendly terms.

 A shipload of such supplies has sailed from New York for Ran goon, Burma, where they will be transshipped over the famous road to Chungking, capital of the en- battled Chinese Republic Included in the shipment are 70 tons of Boric acid, 10000 tins of ether and 10000 pounds of antiseptic cotton.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compe"
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13

WEDNESDAY,, NOVEMBER 13
 Although the thirteenth this is lucky day, for there is an aspect most promising to human achieve ment The morning hours are likely to be slightly disappointing.
 Heart and Home: This is a fortunate sway for the head of the household. While father has a lucky day, the women of the family should take no thought of outside interests, because the stars smile upon home-making. Labor saving methods now will be studied care fully as public service in many forms is taken over by patriotic mothers and daughters. Diet IS to be of great interest, also nurs- ing. The stars presage much ill., ness. Influenza in new form is foreseen. Nervous maladies' and di- seases of malnutrition among refu- gees will command the help of nurses
 Business Affairs Labor troubles will cause anxiety regarding pre- paredness programs in many in dustrial centers. The Pacific Coast may continue to suffer from strikes affecting shipping. Danger from subversive agencies is forecast be- fore the new year. The stars are interpreted as indicating patriotic cooperation in most factories where the true American spirit is n t changed by enemies of the nation. There is a threatening portent to- day.
 National Issues: If the stars are wisely interpreted, conscriptioni of wealth will not be imperatiVe@ be- cause men who possess mohey will be intent upon sacrificing their possessions for the common good. Class consciousness aroused by fifth column emissaries will be erased !n coming months as persons of all degrees of attainment unite for the protection of the nation |, The good deeds of the more fortunate are hidden as splendid generosity is extended to those in need.
 International Affairs; France is to reorganize speedily under the sign of the swastika, but the stars presage for it a period of dilll ex- istence devoid of it's former brilliant characteristics. Paris is to make a brave attempt to recover some thing of it's lost glory, but govern ment control of wealth and Na3i domination will prevent the French spirit from reawakening. Industry vii tend to accomplish great things.
 Persons whose birthdate It. is have the augury of a year of ac- tivity, but there may be perplexi- ties and even losses. Nerve strain should be avoided. as
 Children born on this day prob ably will be happy and easy-going Lovers of pleasure, they will enjoy life, for success is forecast for them. M
