Whither?

Since the passage of the Johnson-Reed immigration
law Secretary of Labor Janice J. Davis has maintained
an almost unbroken silence on the question of registra-

much as Congress was not in session this piece of re-
actionary, undemocratic legislation could wait. The
election is over, the sponsors and protagonists of immi-
gration restriction were returned with safe and assur-

devise new ways and means to make this country less

Lord, th
Beam in vic'try's radiant light.
Fill'd their hearts with joyous glee,
Even in the darkest nig ht .

Roaring billo ws wild and fleet,
Onward pressed the enemy's band;
Israel's remnant, Jacob's seat,
How wilt thou their might withstand?

Rise ye heroes, rise to fight
For your standard, truth divine,
Not by numbers nor by might,
By his spirit ye shall shine.

And inspired by such appeal
Ev'ry man to hosts increased;
And they fought with holy zeal
Till the tyrant-hold released.

Lord, thy truth, thy holy lore,
Is our cherish'd banner still;
And in faith for evermore,
Thy command we follow will.
