may dam the tide
Receipt overseas of the new* that there has boen considerable slacken
ing in business and industry In the United States, and aJso a considerable re
duction in wages will probably have a tendency to bring th<o volume of foreign
immigration below even the relative small numbers permitted under the new
immigration law The news that the land of their halcyon dreams s not up
to its former standard as the home of easy money ran hardly fail to have a
strong influence on the minds of those people who have been figuring on com
ing to this country and will undoubtedly cause many of them to keep away
all of which will be distinctly beneficial to our own people and interests.
The revelations of the late war have taught as many things and among
them is that the American melting pot is no! by any mteans the infallible cruci
ble we have flat! -red ourselves it was. We have learned tha! instead ..f draw
ing the pure gold from the dross of foreign inclint^ions and affiliations and
stamping it 100 per cent American, the melting pot has yielded s.itne highly
unsatisfactory elements with which we may dispense with more tir n nominal
benefit to ourselves and our institutions.
A large percentage of those who come here possess the int< ntion of
making their homes. These we are glad to have under normal conditions but
Just now conditions are far from normal. The country is in the lowest indus
trial slate it has been for many years and there is imperative need for con
servation of all industrial resources to support our own people. Kurthermo- j
there is a strong prospect that this state of affairs may continue f<»t another
year or so before normal conditions ;u.-e. restored and the nation > to pro
perly absorb additional foreign labor elements.
Facing such conditions and prospects, it is plain that even the best of
the-immigration elements which come to us from Europe are no nuc desirable
than those who come only to revamp their fortunes or escape the taxation
burdens eff their homeland.
We need no foreigners of any class just now. having all w«* can do to
provide jobs and a dx-ent living far those who are now here.
THE IRISH SITUATION
The failure’ of the Irish settlement negotiations, although ;>;»par. n*'.y
not of ;l decisive character, is a matter for deep regret. Who:her <>n* In
pro or anti with ires pert to the Irish situation, the fact remains that conditions
in Ireland prior *o the recent truce, have been of a character to arouse horror
and irepulsion in all who possess Christian and humanitarian instincts. I’.luod
has flowed in torrents over the stricken land and brutalities of the most
revolting character have been perpetrated on a scale scarcely exc- lied
during the most Itestial and unchristian period of the. late war. Sword ..-il
flatmte ha' » spread dettth and desolation far and wide and wholesale assassin
tion has added further horrors to the ghastly regime <>f open war. A ■ i.u
repulsive title of human strife is scan-cely to be found in the pages of modcr
history than has lieen unfolded in the tumult of rapine and death occurina
Ireland during the past eighteen months. That such conditions could exist in
this advanced age of enlightenment seems impossible No matter who is’ p
maxily to blame, both sides have indulged in the most outrageous acts of out
lawry conceivable while the world without bps shuddered at the horror of it all.
The sympathy of humanity at large is naturally Inclined to the people
of Ireland, regardless of how much one may deplore the excesses-for which
Irishmen have been responsible Tlyirs is a blind struggle against ove -
whelming odds and however regrettable may be the means they have employed
It is difficult to withhold compassion for their wrongs or to feel out of symputtn
with their aims and ideals. Freedom and independence are mighty goals :•;
the attainment of which men have died in myriads throughout the ages sin
kings and rulers first sought to dominate tin- lives and fortunes of their fellows
That even England recognizes to smiv - extent the justice of Ireland's c .nts
4s clearly evidenced by the effort instigated by Idoyd tieovge to obtain some
form of understanding through which the sanguinary struggle might be ended.
That the effort has been productive of so little concrete success Is sorrowful in
deed. However, the armistice entered into prior to the Eondon discussions
Sias resulted in a cessation of the appalling regime of murder, hence the
peace effort has not been wholly devoid of wholesome resiflts. There is also
a prospect that the breathing spell may have opened the eyes of both sides to
a clearer realization of the utten* horror of the struggle in which they have been
engaged. Should this occur there is every reason to hope that Ireland will
not be again subjected to a return of the regime of blood and misery.
ALASKA’S PROMISE TO HER PEOPLE
l)r. K. \V. Nelson of the United States Biological Survey estimates
that within a few years Alaska's reindeer industry will he furnishing for expor£
more than $40,000,000 a year. When that stage of the industry shall hate
keen reached the reindeer business will rank with the fishing and mining in
Importance in the North, says the. Juneau Empire.
Alaska shipped last year irito the imsirkets of the country and to the
Government mints and assay offices products to the value of $08,000,000 mostly
from our mines and fisheries which ace capable of almost unlimited further
development. It is estimated by the Forestry Bureau that Southeastern
Alaska alone Is capable of producing for export 1,500,000 tons of paper a year.
At present prices this would be worth about $200,000,000 at the mills. Now
Dr. Nelson estimates that the reindeer industry will add its $40,000,000 or
more. We have not yet begun shipping coal or oil, and there are possibili
ties in the agricultural line. Then millions should be coming dnto the Ter
ritory from the tourists each summer. It Is not outside the realms of the pos
sible that a half billion dollars a year will be coming to Alaska each year
within the next score of years or less without taking into account money seek
ing Investment.
No country' In the world offers greater promise to her people than
Alaska, offers to those who stay with her.
