WILL BE LARGE GERMAN IMMIGRATION
"If the United States and Great Britain, not to mention
France, are not to be somewhat alienated from' each other in
the next generation through the mere shifting of popula
tions from one country to another, they cannot reach a per
manent understanding based on an unshakable foundation
of good will a momenttoo soon."
The above, quoted words are from an editorial in the
Springfield Republican
And the conclusion is based on the large German immi
gration, to say nothing of the large Irish immigration, that
will soon set in, to the ports of the United States.
Under the new immigration act, 68,000 Germans may
come to the United States each year; the number being based
upon the number of Germans already here the same rule
applying, as most readers know, to other nationals, like the
Italians, Spaniards, etc.
Immigration, authorities believe . that there will be a
large movementffom "Germany to this country because the
proclamation of peace and establishing of American consular
offices in Germany will make the movement possible

piis would powerfully reinforce the Germanic element
in our population, and in our foreign relations it would nat
urallV promote anti-British and anti-French views, for no
immigration front France to counteract it can be looked for,
while from the United Kingdom the- Irish immigrants will
probably retain their numerical preponderance.
Hence the quoted paragraph opening this article.
However, world conditions have changed and are chang
ing, and the .people who go away from Germany in the fu
ture will not be fed by the propaganda of imperialism, and
they and their children and children s children will soon for
get the animosities that were kept alive under the rule of
the kaisers. ......
The railroad chiefs found they wer falling a strike
against the government of the United States, and they saw
that! It was foredoomed to failure; o,they'wisely called it
off. Theyfound also that the people or the United. States
as a whole were not sympathetic with their, threatened' strike
that would have tied up many industries and put the whole
business life of the country out of joiiStM&t least tempor

possibilities of it slowed up business in a million ways. The
whole, country, will feel easier this morning; the railroad men

On Sunday morning the Times
printed a translation; of the fare
well4 address delivered by Presi
dent Obregon of Mexico to the
official representatives sent by
their respective governments to
sttend the recent centenary ex
position In the Mexican capital
The exposition was a great sue
cess. It was- Informing as wel

t
tended. Nearly 400,000 visitors
came from outside Mexico; and
a sterling testimonial to the com
plete Restoration of (order and
repression of banditry under the
Obregon regime is found in the
fact that no murder was commit
ted in the capital during the ex
position and 210 visitor was rob
bed of either his purse or bag
gage. That Is a record for the
protection of life and property
which no American exposition has
equaled.
Those who continue to protest
against the recognition of the
present Mexican government must
henceforth base their objection
on some other contention than
that a condition of lawlessness
still exists south of the Rio
Grande. There are fewer
crimes of violence in the City of
Mexico at the present time than
n any city of its approximate
population in our own country.
Police records show that more
murders and thefts are commit
ted in Los Angeles, with its 700,-
000 population, than in Mexico
City, with its population of 900,-
000.
But the chief interest in Pres
ident Obregon's message centers
about his expression of the pres
ent beliefs and aspirations of the
Mexican people. Viewed in the
light of its turbulent history dur
ing the ten-year period immedi
ately preceding the Obregon ad
ministration one is moved to ex
claim, "Can this be Mexico?"
We believe," said President
Obregon, "that morality, con
structive and generous intelli
gence and culture are the forces
destined to govern , the world, in
ouf modern life; that the coun
tries which build cannon ef the
greatest range are not the ones
who will make the greatest con
quests, but those who present to
humanity thinkers whose genius
will allow them to look into the
future and point out the catas
trophes that may arise from lack
of forethought and selfishness."
Upon what j more secure foun
dation can any government build?
The words are those of a states
man, not of a demagogue or of
a hardy bandit whom a trick of
fortune has elevated to tempor
ary power.! If this is indeed the
spirit in which the Mexican peo
ple are facing the future the era
of violence and pillage is defi
nitely ended.
We believe," continued Pre
Ident Obregon, "that the .whole
of j bumany -i will, r se , to a news
life I chastened by the bitterest of
experiences,, by the experience of
the ' late' European hecatomb.

advance which has seemingly been
made during the 18 months that
have elapsed since the overthrow
of Carranxa.
Mexico has apparently found
herself without our knowing.
Such a redemption may appear
to a few to be too sudden to be
sincere or . permanent; but we
muBt remember that the Mexican
people were learning during the
whole of those ten years in the
bitter school of experience. The
swift and almost bloodless vic
tory of Obregon pver Carranxa
is here explained. The Mexican
people were already almost a
unit in their desire for better
things and 1 only waited an able
and .courageous leader.

No portion of our own country
of equal extent is richer in na

of opportunity; but it remains
with her own people to decide
what use they shall make of their
natural advantages. As Presi

The children of today must be

when they attain their majority.
During the interim progress will
be slow; but, if the leaders of
the Mexican people continjie to
possess the high Ideals and the
vision of President Obregon, it
will be certain.
If the practices of the Mexi
can government are in accordance
with the precepts of her president
it is evident that recognition can
not be long delayed. An agree
ment can be and should be ar
rived at which will give to Mex
ico the official recognition by
our government which President
Obregon desires and which is es
sential to early reconstruction.
But it must be an agreement which
will safeguard, as far as possible,
without interfering with the sov
ereign right of the Mexican peo
ple to regulate their own domes

If we are true to our traditions
we will lend Mexico an early

Secretary Weeks risks nothing
kin saying that the American
troops will probably remain on
the Rhine for "some time." Sen
ator Johnson has trapped him
self if he assumes that General
Allen's forces will be brought
home after the peace proclama
tion has been issued. The Ber
lin treaty wbich Senator Johnson
voted for provides thet the rights
stipulated under part 14 of the
Versailles treaty shall be enjoyed
by the United States. Part 1
opens by saying that "as a guar

Versailles treaty the Rhin terri

So President Harding will now

in the military enforcement of
another treaty for which no pow

ate's approval.
No more curious mix-up can be
found in the entire history of
America's treaty relations with
the rest of the world.

worth discussing is whether the
