Keep immigration Controls Tight

posed to changing the immigration laws
realizing that the character and compost
ton of our country is changing too rapidly
already We also point out the dangers
which confront us when we attempt to as
simulate too many aliens too rapidly. The
subversive danger alone should induce pa
triotic citizens to go slow in opening our
gates to flood of undesirable immigrants.
The population of the United States is
growing by a couple of million persons a
year and the time is soon to arrive when
this country will not have enough land ma
tural resources and other advantages to
maintain our own per capita standard Of
living. In addition. we must always count
on the emotional aspects of every crisis,
such as that which occurred in Hungary,
which gives cause to admit thousands of
new immigrants under special program.
Many Americans look upon the title of
melting pot" as complimentary title, but
We would remind our readers that there are
elements which do not melt in pot. If we
capable of leading the democratic forces
in this world, we must always make GER
tain that we are able to assimilate and
make good American citizens out of the
thousands of very fine immigrants we bring
into our country each year.

A great hue and cry has gone up from
"a various groups in this country designed
to wreck the nations immigration laws.
We are one hundred per cent in favor OF
the immigration laws of this country and
hope that Congress will not change them.
Although some details may need to be
ironed out, the basic intention of the inrmi
grafton law is good one. It's purpose is to
admit immigrants of various nationalities
to this country in numbers which are d.
rectly proportionate to the nationality com
position of our total population.
In other words we are attempting to
maintain the same proportlonate popula-
ton, by races and countries of origin, that
we now have. Even So the immigration law
in recent years has permitted greater num-
bers of Latins and South Europeans to inn
migrate to this country than those from the
Northern European countries.
This has been true because the nations
with higher standards of living, such as the
Scandinavian countries, England and Ger
many, do not fill their quotas while the
poorer. over-populated nations to the South
annually fill their quotas, and would fill
them many more times if they were per-
mitted to do so.
The chant from some groups now is to
break down these origin-quotas and to al
low more and more Latins and others to

A ALTHOUGH experts do not agree on the
"A origin Of St. Valentines Day, it is gen
orally accepted that the day is the day for
lovers. Chaucor believed that February 14th
was the day the birds chose their mates.
Whether Chaucer was right or not, history
shows that various countries set great store
by February 18th as the day for human low
ers. a choice Of mates, and so on.
1t is possible that St. Valentines Day
originated in England from a combination
of two other observances. The Norman
word for lady's man was "Galentine.
Since the Normans pronounced a "g" as
"v'', the word "Valentine' could easily have
been combined with the Chaucer theory of
