FIFTEEN MILLIONS WOULD COME ONE of the pronounced features of the world readjustment period is the terrific immigration wave that has set in towards the United StAtes."'-Figures on' the number of people desiring to move to this country are simply staggering, i Fifteen million, men, women and children of all classes and races in Europe are anxious for a home in the United States, ac cording to figures presented to our immigration bureau by rep resentatives of 17 trans-Atlantic steamship lines.. Five million Germans and Austrians are listed as desiring to come as soon as peace is made between this country and Germany. There are also many applicants from Holland and the Scandinavian coun tries. But Poland leads all other nations in the number of pros pective candidates for a place in the American melting pot. In one day the Polish foreign office is said to have had 311,000 ap plications for passports. Generally speaking the would-be new comers are of a de sirable type. Immigrants from Europe may be assimilated and in this respect their coming raises no such problem as is involved in the question of oriental immigration. But naturally such a rush to this country will result in disas ter if it is not properly handled. .These people desire to migrate to America at a-time when unemployment looms as a problem of the near future. If there is to be a shortage of work for the people now here what will the newcomers do? May they not find their dream shattered when they arrive? Of course it may be argued that unemployment threatened by the period of de pression following price reductions is no criterion to go by. It will not be long until industry is moving again at full speed. But . even at that the spectacle of a constant stream of immigrants i$ not to be underestimated. For the sake of our own workers and for the sake of the immigrants themselves there must be ad equate safeguards or we will pay the price. Canada is endeavoring to meet the situation by a change in the amount of money ah immigrant must have. For a single man, who comes as a worker, skilled or unskilled, the minimum limit has been raised from $50 to $250. It is further provided that where an immigrant is accompanied by his family he must have at least $250 for each child over five years and under 18 and $125 for each child over 18 years of age. : ; There are those who will regard such financial requirements as harsh upon poor people. Yet the soundness of insisting that immigrants have money on which to subsist until they can find a place in the new land cannot be questioned. It may be fur ther said that the financial requirement alone is not sufficient. 'Xhere is much'merit in a literacy test and in tests that relate to character. Arcerica cannot afford a flood of anarchists or oth er? who are not mentally in tune with American principles. ' A penniless immigrant of good character would be more of an as set than a criminal or an agitator with $250 in his pocket . That there should be a rush of Europeans to this country fol lowing the war is natural. Europe is so oppressed with war debts that it is logical people wish to escape such burdens when they can do so. .j To such people the United States is the land of hope . Our people have not been bled white by the war and our country is large-enough to sustain a much heavier population than we have. This is particularly true of the west We may iook for steamship lines that will bring European immigrants di rectly to our western ports via the Panama canal. Such a thing . would be an innovation, indeed, for the northwest but we may reasonably expect just that experience if the present tendency of Europeans toward America is continued. The proper curbing of immigration is to be one of the big 4 tasks before the new administration. It will be a complicated task and one that should be studied carefully and then acted up on in a vigorous, comprehensive manner. Native Went Kliicy. A member of the British colony in a certain foreign' town quarreled with a native, and' a 'duel with revolvers wns arranged.

PENDLETON, OREGON MASSACHUSEnS GOLF i - 7!& 77 -7? 7Za T. -a Km Km -y, -n 7- S3, BOSTON. Dec. 3. (A. P.) The Massachusetts Golf Association yester day aligned itself with the United States Golf Association in the contro versy ' which threatens to develop a conflict over the government of golf in this country. The executive com mittee of the state association drew up formal resolutions regretting the ap pearance of dissension, expressing strong opposition at the suggestion of supplanting the U. S. O. A. with an other body and adding a hope that means might be found of harmonizing diverse interests. : ; i THE RATE DECISION BY THE decision of the interstate commerce commission Portland is given a small differential over Seattle and As toria as to shipments from the territory south of the Snake river.' The effect of this ruling upon the farmer is not yet clear and perhaps will not be known until it is shown whether the Portland grain interests propose to give the farmer the bene fit of the differential or will merely meet competition in buying, As to the movement of grain, Portland's advantake in rates may be offset by the fact there is a 100 mile river haul to Portland whereas Astoria is close to the sea and Seattle also has wonder ful harbor facilities. The fact that a premium was offered for the small local bond issue, authorized at the recent election, bears evidence of im provement in the. money situation. These bonds draw six per cent and it was not lonsr since when no such, bonds.could have been sold exxcept at a discount. . fcHk, IiAui ...... The apparent strong export demand for American wheat i.fter our usual surplus has already been sold seems to change the face of the market. We may yet see prices go up to a point where our farmers who have not sold may not be so downcast i'S during recent weeks. .
