RUSSIANS TO BE CURBED
Present Dow of Undesirable Ele
mont Prom Eastern Europe
to Be Stopped.
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. As executive
head of the international reform bu
reau he has put across 18 reformatory
measures, the crowning achievement
being war prohibition.
The reforms include the Gillett act

' 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

There also were large increases for

OREGON' MUST SUBMIT EVI
DENCE TO DEPARTMENT.
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

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

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.

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

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?"

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

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."

Telephone Mother on
Mothers' Day
. Sunday, May 8th ,
Think of the satisfaction that would be each mother's could
she but see her boy or girl on Mothers' day.
It is not possible for every mother to see each son or daugh
ter on that day, but it is possible for her to hear their voices.
No matter where she be, east or west, north or south,
Pacific Long Distance Service
will carry the .voice to her, giving that satisfaction which could
only be surpassed by a personal visit.
Evening rates, effective after 8:30 P. M., in connection with
station-to-station calls, are approximately one-half the day rates.
Ask for Pacific Long Distance.
