Many large corporations feel the need
of getting more unskilled labor, and
find it impossible to do so in the
present condition of labor markets.
Against this purely commercial
aspect of the question are many in
authority who question the wisdom of
cheapening manufacturing processes
at the expense of injecting more un-
assimilatable foreign elements into
the body politic. Secretary of Labor
Davis points out that the quota law
operates restrictively against coun-
tries which have, in the past, sent us
the lowest and least desirable types
of immigrants, but that those coun-
tries which have sent us men who
generally become good American citi-
zens, have not been affected by the
quota law, because their nationals
have not, since the war. sought to
come to this country in numbers suf-
ficient to equal their quota.
Many senators are muc interested
in a phase of the immigration ques
tion which they deem of vital impor-
tance to the nation; the fact that,
even in our present quota law. we
have no sure means of keeping out
the radical, the red, the Bolshevist,
and the enemy of government. A
list recently compiled of radical men
and women working for the over-
throw of the government near Chi-
cago, is suggestive: Weinstobe, Rag-
gozin. Kakari, Titlow, Amter, Katter-
field, Bederock. Huiswold, Kossow.
Papyanis, Stureau, Obermyer, Kron-
berg, Gunther, and so on, for a long
list of foreign names. It is not con-
tended that hiving a foreign name
means that its possessor is radical,
but that when, in any list of known
radicals, reds and Bolshevists, the
majority of the names are foreign. It
is conclusive proof that most of the
enemies of our gove?nment reach this
country via immgration.
i many friends of this beautiful and
। accomplished artist in Decatur will
ye glad to know she has consented to
appear on the stage in an art in
which she will take first rank.
