migration committee recently expressed a "firm belief that
the United States will never go back to the 'asylum idea
welcoming uncounted millions from the four corners of the
wcrld." The emergency law has ; been extended for two
years from July 1, and before it" again expires Congress
should enact legislation to make permanent the policy that
Mr. Johnson has suggested.' Public opinion throughout the
country is undoubtedly in accord with it.
AN ALARMING SITUATION
1 Never before in the history of this government has the
. amount of duties collected at the port of New York; been so
i great as during the year just closed. Over seventy per?
cent.. of imports) arrive at New York, so that it : may be
; taken as true that the customs collections of the entire
.country are greater than ever before.
'' The total amount of customs receipts at New York for the
- Tiscal year ending with June 30 1920 was, in round numbers,
5229,325,000, the highest amount collected up to that time.
This year the receipts are over $229,548,000. As 1920 was
a period of great inflation, with prices higher than normal
' and with the stated value of imports more than double what
they had been any year prior to the war, it is safe to assume
. that the volume of imports for the fiscal year just cloitd,
during which prices have been extremely low, has been very
much greater tnan ever, before.
Every imported competitive article displaces in our mar
4 kets a similar article of domestic production. That explains
the "reason why we had during the past year, the greatest!
number of idle workmen in our entire history. Foreign com
petitive imports displace domestic products and lessen Amer
ican production. V -The result is that we hire foreigners to
'do our work and condemn our own workmen to idleness and
want. The protective tariff places domestic articles on a
parity in our markets with aimilar foreign articles
. Thus giving them an equal chance of being sold
. Not a better chance, but an equal chance.
It is high time -the American people were aroused. In
view of the fact that goods are arriving at New York in
such volume that customs duties collected, even under the
present free trade tariff, have lately been mounting up to
one and. a quarter million dollars in a single day, it is high
time the great body oi the thinking people oi l the United
States gave voice to a demand for the immediate enactment
of the pending tariff bill, so that the overwhelming flooc1.
of imports. may be checked.
inis is no time ior ungres3 to listen tq the voices
v raised by the paid lobbyists with hypocritical pleas for the
sympathy of the consumers ?
An interest which the importers manifest by pyramiding
' their proms on imports to upwards of 5000 per cent.
Pass the pending tariff bill, and do it quickly! should be
the thundered demand of the whole people of the United

ANOTHER TEST FOR EIXSTEIX
In the history ot science it
would be hard to find a more
dramatic chapter than the vin
dication of Einstein by the
eclipse of 1919. But the results
then obtained need to be con
firmed, and the eclipse of Sep
tember I,- visible only in the
southern hemisphere, will give an
opportunity. Only a few stations
are suitable. In the late after
noon the eclipse will be total at
