aries they receive as Justices. Such slight matters mean nothing
to the all-wise Mr. Ford. Another quotation from Mr. Benson's
article:

"I feel sure only that those who view Ford's candidacy as a 'joke'
are themselves the joke. Ford is not the ridiculous person that his
enemies would have the public beieve. On the other hand, he has had
little if any of the training that our other ,'residents had. Yet his
training has been better than Grant's. Of course, Grant was not
great President. Yet the country did not collapse."



The country has survived earthquakes, floods, tornados, the
great war, influenza epidemic and countless other catastrophies
and calamities and did not collapse. We are almost collapse-
proof. Yet we doubt whether we could survive the catastrophy
of Ford as president with a cabinet of Bensons, Russets, et al.,
who no doubt would be rewarded with portfolios in the cabinet
as a reward for excellent service rendered their candidate.
Don't think for one moment that "comrade" Benson might
have misquoted "comrade" Ford. It is a known fact that Ford
insists on having all propaganda read to him before it goes to
press. lie knows just what every nationally circulated maga-
zine is going to print about him before publication. Money is
surely a powerful weapon. 11 recalls a line from the Talmud:
"Money legitimatizes even the illegitimate."

The question of immigration prom-
ises to be the livest issue of the com-
ing months. It has already been re-
vived, and the powers that tie are
scheming and discussing ways and
means of curtailing the small num-
bers that are presently permitted to
enter the country. The new proposals
for limiting the stream of incoming
aliens are embodied in the recom-
mendations of Secretary of Labor
James .1. Davis fur a new selective
immigration law, and in one of the
12 recommendations of Sir Auckland
Geddes the British Ambassador to the
