BY MARK SULLIVAN. (Copyright by the New Tork Evening Post. Inc. Published by Arrangement.) WASHINGTON'. D. C. May 4. No one doubts that President Harding will sign the immigration restriction bill. Last summer, in the address in which- he accepted the republican nomination for the presidency, one of tha points made by Senator Harding was that in the past we had been too prone to think of immigration merely as the raw material of industry, and that in the future we must think of Jt as material to be assimilated into our social institutions. Those who have followed this bill closely have no doubt of the motives which have made its advocates feel sure of its success. These motives ha.ve not always been expressed openly. For one reason some sen ators and congressmen have among their constituents racial elements which cause them to hesitate tj speak frankly against receiving any more of the, same element. Offennlve Words ATOlded. For another reason, a sense of delicacy of amenity in human rela tions causes them to hesitate to say openly that they object to more im migrants from certain racial stocks. They do not wish to offend the feel ings of the members of those same stocks who are already here. But if as much frankness can be used as is possible, consistent with decent re gard for the feelings of other human beings, it must be said that the com peliing motive behind the over- litftlming majority by which this im lui&iation restriction mil was aaopi ed by both houses of congress is hesitancy about the recent immigra tion, which comes largely from east ern and southern Europe. If this bill were a matter of ex cluding immigration from England, Ireland, Scotland, France. Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Spain. Portugal, Germany or northern Italy it would never have made any head way. Kaxsinn Immigrant Dixliked. "We have become used to the immi grants from these countries and there . is hardly a man in congress but would like to have as many more immi grants from these countries as we can get. But the immigrants who have come to us in large numbers recently from countries in, eastern and south ern Europe have filled us with the ap prehension that all people have toward persons of unfamiliar ways and points of view deeply antagonis tic to our own. Especially have events in Russia during the last two or three years caused us to fear receiving from that country a number of immigrants such as might perceptibly-change the make-up of our own nation. For the devising of a bill which should accomplish the two diverse re sults which we wanted, credit is to be given to two senators of quiet ways who do very little talking on the floor of the senate but are of the greatest value to the United States in their unostentations and steady devotion to the daily work of the senate. Three Per Cent Rule Adopted.' The problem was to devise a bill which should admit as many as are likely to come of the old faces, whom we do not fear, but shoula restrict to a smaller minimum than is now com ing the newer immigrants from east ern Europe. This end was achieved after much debate and discussion and after strong pressure for a complete cutting off of ail immigration by de termining that we should permit to enter the United States in each and every year as much as 3 per cent of the number of immigrants from any one country or race as ar already here. The two senators who worked out this device with care and nieh In telligence are Colt of Rhode Island and Dillingham of Vermont This 3 per cent rule will admit as many im migrants from the British Islands and from other countries of western Europe as are likely to waut to come, because the number from tsese stocks already here is very large - On the other hand, the number of immigrants from eastern Europe will be kept down to a figure much small er than has recently beer, coming. Opinion Nearly Vnjtnimona. The writer can think t no bill that has been adopted by. congress in re cent years which has dad so much unanimity of opinion behind it or which has given such a. sense of relief over a remedy found, for a difficult ana emDarrassing situation. The rec No woman should dance with a man she doesn't know all about, and the ideal dancing party 'is where all the people participating are acquainted. Wherever admission is to be gained en payment of a price, whether it is two-bits or $3, "the dirt creeps in," asserted the reformer. As to getting -the. Bible into the schools. Dr. Crafts says be is meeting with conslderaol3 success. Catholics and Hebrews do not all take kindly to having the Bible in the schools, but fhey' offer little or no objections to using the ten commandments, a part of the scriptures cd which most all creeds agree. FJighteea Reforma AeeomplIae. Fcr many year3 Dr. Crafts has been crusading for reforms.

GERMANS PROTEST CPRISIXG1 Ambassador Disclaims All Respon sibility for Consequences. Measure Favorably Reported Raises House Total, Providing lor Additional Outlays. ' WASHINGTON. D. C. May Ad ministration forces won n flrst mish today in the impending tenate fight over naval disarmament. - Guided by the wishes of President Harding, the sena'.e naval committee refused to incorporate into the annual naval appropriation measure the pro posal of Senator Borah, republican of Idaho, authorizing the chief executive to invite Great Britain and Japan to send representat'ves to a disarma ment conference. , Before the committee acted Senator Borah had reintroduced his proposal in the senate and moved to suspend the rules to make it In order. Senator Pomerene, democrat or i Ohio, gave notice that he also in tended to present a disarmament .menriment to authorize the president to delay the building programme six months while an effort was beng n ade to arrange a conference between, the United States. Great Britain and Japan. Should an agreement to lira.c construction be reached the presi-. dent might suspend the building pro gramme 'n whole or in part. It is understood that administra tion leadois plan to delay action on proposals for international disarma ment because of the desire of the president not to have this question initiated in congress in the present state of international relations. As favorably reported toaay oy me nnval committee, the annual navaj bill, which failed at the last session, provides not only funds for continu ing construction on the uncompleted 11'16 programme, Dut also for a per sor.nel 20.000 in excess of the 100,000 nrr.nosed bv the house.

There also were large increases for pay and support of personnel. Senator Poindexter, repuDiican oi Washington, plans to report the amended measure to the senate to morrow with a view to calling it up next week. possible In drafting the .proposition, tms rinally was adopted by unani mous vote and again the terminal matter was put on its way with every prospect eventually of going to the people for decision as to itreet va cations June 7. Commissioner Pier declared him self satisfied with the attitude of the railroads, saying their representa tives had "met the city at least half way," and he made a motion that the city engineer and attorney be in structed to prepare the plans for a vote of the people.

LONDON. May 4. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Dr. St Hamer. the German ambassador here, tonight presented a note to the foreign office protesting against the Polish coup in Upper Silesia, as an apparently con certed effort to take the province by force and refusing all responsibility for the situation and its conse quences. The' note has also been communi cated to the other allied governments. It declares that by the action of irresponsible Polisn agents and provo cateurs a strike has been arranged in Upper Silesia through the whole mining and industrial areas, terroriz ing the willing workers and prevent ing them from carrying out their tasks, while armed bands cover the country as tar as Ratibor. The organized destruction of rail nays and bridges, it is asserted, shows a pre-arranged plan for Polish insur rections. The inter-allied commission which has recognized the. German ords of the senate wjuld h.i"e to be ' population, has given no provocation. oeuicnea lor a ionj, time before a case could be founts In which a bill has been adopted b.; 78 ayes to one nay. The negative -vote was cast by Keed of Missouri, a .enator whose in dividuality is marked almost to a point of eccentricity. The three-hour speech which he made defending his solitary position commanded respect, but the senate was in one of thn moods where men will not be moved by argument, where they act not so much on logic as on some deep primal instinct of racial preservation. The bill is, of course, a landmark in American history. It is the first time we have taken a position con trary to free and liberal welcome to immigrants. - It may have a signifi cance more deep and mysterious than we ourselves now understand. It may be associated with an in stinct to hold fast to what is our own at a time when all mankind seems to -have struck its tents and started on the move, not merely physically, but socially and spiritually. CENSOR ALL FUN, IS IDEA (Conthiqert From First Page.) explains Dr. Crafts. They are the re ligious life, the political life, busi ness life and recreational life. More time is devoted to recreation by peo ple than to any of the other three pursuits Therefore the recreation of ttio people should be supervised by til CAurcQes d th state. Larger Regulation SunjSealed. The doctor- does not like the word "censor." He says he will suggest that the proposed censor board of five, now being discussed for Port land, be called the recreational com mission, its powers enlarged and the commission given general charge of the recreations of the people. This programme would embrace supervis ion of the movies, of the theaters of the dances and other recreational matters. Dances need supervision even more than the movies, contends the doctor.. Later Dr. St. Hamer presented a sec ond note saying thai the situation had become exceedingly acute and recit ing details according to which the insurgents had seized the industrial legion. ' In fight'n? at Rybnik, twj Italian, officers . and 13 men were killed. Two mine directors and oth ers have been murdered. The note says that all German offi cials. employes and doctors have been compelled to abandon the industrial BIUU11SU111CUL3 aiiu mat. an unties Kim b'scite police have been disarmed and some carried off. The insurgents are well armed, many wearing Polish uniforms; railways, telephone and telegraph wires have been cut anj many railway bridges blown up. The inter-allied commission, th3 note declares, admitted that the Ger man population was blameless and promised to intervene, but unfortu nately, with the exception of the dec laration of martial law, no tangible, success in the suppression of the re volt could be observed. TOV- HALL IS CAPTURED Italians Declared to Have Expelled Poles in Some Places. BERLIN, May 4. (By the Associat ed Press.) Semi-official advices re ceived here are that all the large towns in the industrial region of Upper Silesia are surrounded by Po lish insurgents, while Richtersdorf, a suburb of Gleiwitz, and Keiferstadtl have been occupied by rebels. Various places in the district of Orsenberg are reported to have been similarly occu pied. The Polish flag is said to be flying from the town hall of Rybnik. but the Italians have expelled the Insurgents from Pless and arrested several lead ers. The whole of the right bank of the Oder in the Ratisbor area is In the hands of the rebels. Read The Oregonian classified ads. Stanficld Telegraphs Governor of Acceptance of State Legisla ture's Memorial. THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, D. C, May 4. Senator Stanfield Tuesday telegraphed to Governor Olcott of Oregon and Louis Bean, ex-speaker of the Oregon house, that the ' epartment of the in terior had agreed to grant the re quest of the Oregon delegation for a hearing before going ahead with the land exchanges in the Oregon & California land grant. The department agreed to accept the memorial of the Oregon legisla ture on this subject as a pleading but asked that the evidence sustain ing, the charges made in the memo rial be submitted. Senator Stanfield. who was in con ference with other members of the state delegation Tuesday, urged Gov ernor Olcott and Speaker Bean to supply the delegation at once with all of the evidence. Unless the evi dence is forthcoming at once the de partment, is inclined to take action on the record before it. CITY COUNCIL TO ACT (Continued From First Page.) age and necessary- machine shops, and tn eventual outlay of $2,000,000 to complete the yards. The freight end of the plan is contingent upon the vacation of small portions of 130 streets, now used by the roads under revocable permits. nd which are the basis of the necessity of going to the people for a decision. The charter prohibits any street vacation within 1000 feet of the harbor lines and these are all in that category. The freight terminal project Is de signed to relieve congestion at the present passenger yards in the Union station, so that all passenger trains on all steam roads entering the city may use that depot. After various conferences in coun cil and through committees of civic club presidents and the rail execu tives, all features of the plan save the block T phase had been pretty well ironed out, the railroads yielding points on some things and the city on others.

After that, there was a general laugh, and everyone felt easier. It was then that the mayor made his suggestion as to further procedure.

Governor of Federal Reserve Board Says Financial Crisis Is Passed and Credits' Mast Expand. CLEVELAND, O., May 4 The pre dominating note sounded at the open ing sessions today of the eighth annual convention of the national foreign trade council was the adop-r tion of an active policy of co-opera tion between bankers, manufacturers and merchants to maintain world supremacy of the. United States in foreign trade. Organization of financial resources to supply long-time credits to for eign countries, doing away with burdensome taxation of American in vestments abroad, and adoption of an elastic tariff policy were cited as im portant steps in accomplishing this object. The foreign trade financing cor poration, formed under trie Edge law, to provide extension of foreign cred its, was approved by speakers as a help to America's foreigntrade. War Given America Lead. Opening the convention. James A. Farrell of New Tork, chairman of the council and president of the United States Steel corporation, said: "The war placed the United States where it belongs in the foreign trade list-7-in the lead. And now it is only a matter of a definite policy, backed not only by the merchants, bankers and manufacturers, but by the gov ernment, to maintain our rightful po sition. "It is not too much to say that me welfare of every man, woman and child in America is linked up with a correct solution of these problems of international commerce." W. P. G. Hurding, governor of the federal reserve board, urged that, methods be adopted to provide for eign countries with sufficient credit to enable them to regain their pre war standing in production and dis tribution. Financial Crisis Passed. "There is now no danger of any general financial trouble in this country," he said. "The present is a time to do things in the business world. We are on much safer basis than a year ago. Frozen credits can be best thawed out by a movement, a stimulation of business. "Federal reserve bank reserves are now higher than since the fall of 1918. With the present average re serve, 55 per cent as compared with 42 per cent a year ago, the banks are able now safely to take part in a movement to stimulate business with a-view to-liquidating frozen credits." The afternoon topic was "The Need for Long-Time Credits in Our Foreign Trade." Julius H. Barnes of New Tork, who expressed disappointment at the total amount subscribed from bankers, manufacturers and export ers to the stock of the Foreign Trade Financing corporation, organized to promoie extension of long-time for eign credits. i Stable Exchange Important. : World neace. settlement of the German reparations, funding of Eu rope's debt to us and tariff and tax revisions must come, before- a per manent revival of business can be had. J. J. Donovan of Bellingham Wmh.. told the council members. He advocated the stabilization of ex change and the supplying of capital so that foreign buyers, instead oi aa vancing money months before a cargo is shipped, can issue acceptances pay able in three and six months after delivery of the cargo. "We are faced with adverse tar iffs, with preferential duties between the members of a great empire, with exchange so dislocated that the value of our dollar, so Important to sound business at home, is an actual aetri ment to our customer abroad, sa.d Mr. Donovan. How shall this condi tion be overcome so that a foreign lumber merchant may buy to advan tage in the United States?" The great reserve iorests of this country are in. the stateB of wash. inelon and Oregon. They are the most remote from the consuming centers. The freight rate advances nf August 26. 1920, were Ill-advised destroyed the differential that had gradually aeveiopea oeiween me west and the south, and caused the closing of hundreds of Pacific coast mills .The error has now been par tially corrected, but the necessity for mnm water-borne business was brought home to the western lumber men Some are seeking to regain tneir An ; Unusual Display LZl lifts I i Lifl .J C7T IF YOU are a Wr of the beautiful-see the special exhibit of small Oriental Rugs in our windows this week.

Others seek to expand foreign trade, although conditions are chaotic and discouraging. If exchange can be stabilized and if banking machinery supplies capital so that foreign custo mers, instead of advancing money months before a cargo is shipped can issue acceptances payable in three and six months after delivery of cargo, ousiness should revive at once. Such revival to be permanent is predi cated on world peace, ' settlement of German reparations, funding of Eu rope's debt to us and tariff and tax revisions based on after-war condi tions. Credit Will Solve Problem. "It Is a question of credit for for eign firms of established reputation through American banks who will cash their. acceptances at a reasonable discount when indorsed by the Amer ican seller. We have the lumbar to sell; the world desires to buy; the buyer is solvent, but has neither cash nor goods immediately available for payment. His record for honesty is good. He has paid in the past; he will pay in the future. How can we tide over the present? "Instead of hampering our foreign trade in lumber,-it should be encour aged. Lumber is a crop for sale, even though it takes 100 years to grow. The older European countries understand this. They conserve, plant and sell. There is no occasion for hystera. Lumber for all proper uses will be produced indefinitely within our own borders for a reasonable price." .m ay muiea a,in u y engineer ana attorney be in aci?;''e"?.re. t' 3t"l8-lh.
