Our New York Letter The White House Speaks on Immigration as Secretary Davis Feels—Ambassador Geddes' Disgust Draws Commis-sioner Curran's Ire—Louis Marshall Denounces Labor Secretary's Selection Fad. &Om 4LiVi usinea ltimp By GERSHON AGRONSKY (Copyright, 1923, Jewish Correspondence Bureau.) selective immigration scheme is an en- tirely new fad which Mr. Marshall re- gards as "unjust and un-American." He finds that the whole agitation in favor of restriction in its latest vicious phase of selection is based on a prejudice cultivated in certain parts of the country. Not wishing to mince words, Mr. Marshall says what has been on the tip of all tongues, that the restriction agitation, and particularly the selective restriction, is aimed pri- marily against the East European Jews. It in Mr. Marshall's conten- tion, a contention based on sad facts and experiences, that behind this "anti-American movement" there is "the labor aristocracy" which, he de- clares, commands for itself, because Erect if you are riot of the labor shortage in the country, immediately inter- the highest wages possible, while hun- dreds of thousands of able-bodied men ested in the purchase in Europe, who are not admitted to of an Oriental Rug, America, are unemployed and doomed lee urge you to visit ItecauseNtr.

SIXTEEN ARE VICTIMS OF BESSARABIAN MOBS What disgusted Sir Auckland is naturally the treatment, the equal treatment, mind you, accorded the Britisher when he gets over un th e Island. The Britisher is a "white man," the Ambassador feels, and should he singled out for favorite treatment. Ile ought not to be herd- ed with Jews and Latins and what- nuts, who are notoriously not white men. However, Sir Auckland is a gentleman. Rather than say that the British should be kept apart and I saved from contamination, he recom- mends the establishment of a kosher department for the Jews, which on first, second and last analysis means the same thnig• This is the weak point in Sir Auckland's armor, and Mr. Curran, an athletic looking man with a knowledge of fencing, natural- ly strikes at that point. And, inti- mates Mr. Curran, what the Ambas- sador wants is not really that the Jews should be able to strictly observe the dietary laws on much as that the Eng- lish should not be made to mix with them. The Island, which never dis- criminated between race or nation- ality, will not do so in the future, tri- umphantly asserts Mr. Curran. And that's that. Report Disturbance.. VIENNA.--1.1. T.

The message conveying the news the disturbances came by radio owl's, to the refusal of the government post offices to accept telegrams reportin g the disturbances. The Ambassador's armor being pierced , all his other recommenda- tions discredited by this hit of Eng- lish zeal, may come to nought. Ellis Island will get a new coat of paint, and for the rest what has been will continue to be. It is tragic, of course, that the mis- ery of the Island will be mitigated not at all. But what worries a lot of peo- ple is that the following hit of choice irony may also he lost on the Ellis Island otlicials: "The custom of de- livering lectures on Americanization to criminal and other deportees should be abandoned," the Ambassador sug- gests• "Strangely!" says the report, "this well-meaning activity seems to be more annoying to the victims than any other single detail in the life of Ellis Island." The results of all this discussion? Such as they are are of dubious qual- ity. Jews now know that Mr. Mar- shall ()poises the selective immigra- tion scheme. It is well that they should know it, even if it does no more than fortify their affection for their veteran representative. President Coolidge may soon learn that Mr. Marshall, in common with a large body of the public, oppose "selective immigration.' But President Cool- idge knows also that the country knows that he has expressed himself in favor of selective immigration. Mr. Davis, who favors it now after his return from Europe, because he fa- yore(' it before, will probably continue to favor it. Inmates and visitors of Ellis Island will continue to report conditions are bad, while the authori- ties at the Island will admit that they are bad and will give assurances of constant improvement.

The person who says I do not need a Business Training, I am going to be a doctor—for a lawyer, or a farmer, or anything else for that matter) is in the same boat with the fellow who said, I don't need no English, I speak good enough. Business Training to- day is an absolute necessity. Under the present complex social system, the farmer, the doctor, the lawyer, in fact everybody must be a business man to get along well. He ought to be trained to hold his own with the best. It has been said that the only young person who does not need a business training is one who never expects to have any dealings with his fellow men. A practical education of this kind is easy to carry around. It is something that no one 'can take away from its possessor, something that one can fall back upon at ant time to earn a good living, something that pays dividends for life on the time and effort spent in acquiring it. A course of this kind in a good school has been the stepping-stone to sae. cess for thousands of the leading citi• tens of our country today.
