The Quiet Observer IMMIGRATION PROBLEMS. When the United States, which has never bad more than a one and a halt per cent of immigration to assimi- late as compared with Canada's three and a half, finds the current more ehe can stem, and decides to shut down altogether practically for a year, there may be material for re- fiction In the Canadian situation as well. Various proposals for restric- tion have been made at Washington. One is to limit the members enter- ing in any one year to five per cent. of the number of any country's citi- zens already residing in the United States. If 5,000 nationals of any country lived in tha United States t-hen 250 only could follow them in the next year. A popular measure of limitation is ne of education and means, so that only tha b?st classes could enter. This frankly abon- dons the idea of the United Sta'es as tie refuge of the destitute and op- pressed. There are already more of destitute and oppressed in America then Uncle Sam can provide for. He has 1,000,000 now out of work, and te is 2,000,000 houses short cf the de- mand. To introduce a further haven of unrighteousness among these in the shape of a mass of the European proletariat infected with Bolshevism is more than Uncle Sam can contem- plate with satisfaction. The real difficulty, it is generally rjcognized is the great modern city to which ths pected to do, and the United States in holding its dollar at |1.20 < more simply raises the prices of it* gocds to prohibitive rates for the .9 whose money is discounted. As a conse- quence buyers take their money to the market where It cor-.ts for most, and all the European nat n:- and par- ticularly Geri^iny are deriving bene- fit from tV. auton auc adjustment. Canada stands halfway between the United States and Britain loslag as much in sending money to ihe United States as it gains in sending; to Brit- ain, and of course losing trade to Britain and gaining trade frcai the Uniied States on the same basis.

This V'f'ci'Hy is ona. how- ever, whleb <* ri . *r nations hive equal- ly to face. Germany's raw materials are fairly abundant and German la- bor appears to be more tractable than elsewhere. Apart from the military party and the Kaiser and Prussia the German people always had a good deal of common ssnse and once rid of the Prusslin incubers it would not be surprising if Germany as it survives in Saxony, Bavaria, \Vurtenib-ars.

If he could be conducted to the land and established there the problem would be solved, but huge numbers of him are a helpless on a farm as he is anywhere. The only hope for this cl-i-s is to be placed on a South Pa- cific isl where even cotton Is un- necessary, and perennial palms and bananas and crystal springs are "open day and night." Whatever the native may do, and the degener- ate native has no desire to do any- thing, the immigrant must work.

The Mexican Socialists will have nothing to do with the bourgeois socialists and the extremists are now lined up with the third international.
