Equal Right to Citizenship
The United States, in keeping with its much reiterated demo
cratic principles, has yet to eliminate racism from its immigra
tion and naturalization laws.
In colonial days only "free white persons" were allowed
to become citizens. Eighteenth century prejudices were gradually
relaxed, and the privilege of becoming an American has been
extended to Africans, inhabitants of Hawaii and Puerto Rico,
'American Indians, Virgin Islanders, races indigenous to North
and South America, Chinese, Filipinos and natives of India.
Still barred because of racial origin are most Asiatics
Japanese, Koreans, Polynesians and others. There are almost
90.000 American residents of Oriental background who cannot
boast the rights and privileges that hinge on citizenship, although
most have lived in this country an average of SO years and
yieir homes have produced more than 33,000 American soldiers
whose war record was outstanding. Twelve western states pro
hibit "aliens ineligible to citizenship" from buying and selling
land. In Oregon 16 professions and occupations are restricted
to citizens. No state allows aliens to practice law; most states
restrict public accounting, the medical professions, architecture
and other jobs.
This week H. R. 5004 tht bill to equalize immigration and
naturalization introduced by Representative Walter Judd of Min
nesota who once was missionary to China Is being considered
in subcommittee.
Passage of the Judd bill is an opportunity for the American
people most of whom have foreign origins to recognize the
contribution immigrants and their descendants have made to
the economic and cultural heritage of this nation. The thousands
of persons of Oriental ancestry who are Americans In every
sense but before the law, are essentially no different from the
Swedes and Irish and Germans and Italians and Chinese who
are citizens. Most have worked hard, paid taxes, educated their
children as Americans . . . and some have fought and died for
the democracy that is denied them.
Equalization of naturalization laws does not invalidate the
quota system for immigration; it merely makes the restrictions
more fair by lifting the color bar. And amendment of those laws
should have considerable effect on U.S. -Far East relations. Dis
crimination against Asiatics by our laws has been a source of
humiliation and made any stable foundation for East-West friend
ship and cooperation Impossible.
As a nation to which the world looks for leadership in the
fuht against undemocratic ideas and practices, the United States
can no longer ignore this issue nor tolerate the margin between
American precepts and practices. Passage of the Judd bill will
remove the last vestige of racism from these laws and erase the
taint of hypocrisy' from our record.
Amendment to Reciprocal Trade Bill
Farm commodity groups which have been concerned over
tha bill to extend th law authorizing reciprocal trade treaties
won a battle in the houe ways and means committee. They had
ured an amendment to the bill which would give congress
veto power over tariff changes negotiated by the state depart
ment if the change went beyond the limits recommended by
tha tariff commission. The committee approved the amendment
with a vote of 15 to 9.
Gerard Swope. chairman of the world trade committee,
immediately pounced on the amendment claiming It would ob
struct world trade and impair American leadership. His com
mittee is working to reduce tariffs for ths purpose of rebuilding
world trade.
Much depend? on the exact language of the formula which
the. tariff commission is to follow and on the way the commis
sion applies the law. If the amendment is properly written and
administered it should not defeat the purpose of the reciprocal
trad act, and still should save important industries from being
made the goats in the world trade revival.

Open House at West Linn
An adventure in corporate publia relations was tried out
last week by Crown Willamette Paper Co. at their big mill in
West Linn. Tours were arranged through several days for parties
of stockholders residing in the Portland area, for employes and
families, for residents of the community and for newspaper
folk of Clackamas county and Salem.
The company has just completed an $8,000,000 expansion
and improvement program. Its most prominent feature was the
installation of two great paper making machines which .turn
out magazine print stock for such publications as Life, Time and
the Curtis Publishing Co. periodicals. The West Linn mill also
produces newsprint (Salem dallies are among its customers)
and some paper specialties.
The interest shown by the visitors was proof of the success
of the open house Idea.
David Wright
David Wright, whose death occurred unexpectedly on Satur
day, was a man who combined competence in his profession as
an electrical engineer with splendid personal qualities. He was
long in the employ of the Portland General Electric Co. here
with primary charge of plant operations. The fine service its
patrons have enjoyed L dua in no small degree to his Industry
and fidelity. His other major interest naturally was in his home.
Ha had a wide circle of friends who share with his immediate
family sorrow over his sudden passing.
The Stassen-Dewey circus continues its 30-minute stands
across the state. The Cascade Locks episode where the Dewey
caravan declined to pitch a tent when they saw that the Stassen
carryall had not moved on, gives one a good laugh. Between
the Q it A period and ''Meet the Press'' interviews Messrs.
Stassen and Dewey hav disclosed everything about themselves
except their blood count and before the week is out probably
that information will be given to the public.
The state got a pleasant shock when the low bid on the
new office building was 20 per cent below the authorized appro
priation. This may not mean that unit costs are any lower but
that performanca is better and competition among contractors
a little sharper.
The North Salem Business association is on the right track
in seeking a branch postoffice. That will relieve congestion at
the central PO and give them complete postoffice service.
Here is the title of a new office in the department of national
defense: "The Munitions Board Industry Advisory Security Plan
ning Task Committee on Determination of a Listing of Rated
Resources." More gobbledegook officialese.
This from the Albany Democrat-Herald: "Of course Albany
is not yet as large as Salem . . . . " What's this? Is Albany getting
Ideas like Eugene?

This Is Just
About Tessie
By Wendell Webb
Russia, the atom, Palestina,
politics they've stolen tha play
this spring. But not for tha young
er fry south of Salem. Their
topic was Tessie. Tessie was go
ing to have a colt. And a fine
colt it would be, too.
Day after day, Tessie grew. Tha
half dozen young girls in tha
neighborhood fretted over her,
babied her, talked to her. They
led her carefully over the creek
to tha field. They brushed her
to a glass finish. But Tessie. was
not one to be hurried. .
Tessie's owner was the envy of
the neighborhood so much so
that she hardly minded not being
able to ride during the latter days
of Tessie's plight 'Phones became
busier and busier. "Has Tessie
had her colt yet?"
Then it happened. Two bare
foot girls, up at tha dawn, plunk
ed themselves joyously on their
sleeping parents "Tessie's had
her colt; she's down In the field."
The 'phone had a busy few min
utes "Tessie's had her colt;
Tessie'a had her colt."
And so ho had. Neighbors hur
ried breakfast to see Tessie's colt
with the children before school
time. "Look, its got four white
stockings." "It isn't an 'It, it's a
her." "Isn't she beautiful." "Look,
let's get her up." "O, the poor
little thing is hungry." "Mama,
can I stay home today?"
Tessie will be romping the hills
south of 'Salem again soon. The
wobbly colt will be pampered half
to death. And life will get back In
the groove. But not far enough
back, this columnist hopes, but
that Tessia and all Tessies itill
will bo tha great topic of con
versation for tha youngsters in
the spring.
