FAVRQI i ITALY'S E i1UIGRATiON PJAN j Italy has conduced a new plan to rid herself of her surplus population! and accordingly, is directing her em- migration efforts towards Canada, Mexico, and countries in South Amer-1 ica. A special agreement is being concluded between an Italo-Canadian syndicate in Rome and Fascisti labor corporation, and steamship companies, granting low rates for Italian emi- grants, to faciliate the sending of I Italian labor to these countries. This plan which Italy aims to adopt has its good faults and its bad. Italy' a nd many other European countries must send their surplus population to some other country, or expand in territorial domains. Since it would be quite impossible for Italy or' the other countries to carry out the later plan, they must necessarily rid them- selves of their surplus amount ofI people by sending them to another land. The United States, in adopting first the three per cent immigration measure and then the two per cent immigration measure, has practically closed the doors to Italy's former out- let. Since (it would be almost impos- sible for her to dispose this extra population in any of the countries in the Eastern hemisphere, she must turn to the American continent, and finding even here one place closed to her, she accepts her fate as a matter of course and looks to the other American countries. In doing so, Italy has discovered .a worth while expedient of still ridding herself of her extra people without causing any malice towards the other countries, and has at the same time set an example to the many other over- crowded European countries. There is also the good that this extra population can do such coun- tries as Canada and Mexico and those in South America. Canada, for in- stance, with an expanse of land, im- than that of the United States, has a population of only approximately 5,- 000,000. With the vast amount of re- sources that she possesses together with this vast expanse of land, im- migrant labor to her land cannot but be welcomed. Though the same situa- tion does not quite prevail in Mexico or in the countries of South America, because of their still thinly settled territory, immigrant labor cannot but be welcomed there. The bad fault in the Italian policy consists in that these laborers will be directed to the oil fields of these countries where they will be employed, in oil activities. The natural rough- ness of oil fields together with the Scharacter of the Italians that will probably be sent, will hardly com- bine in making a good community. Aside from this fact, the plan which Italy aims to adopt is highly com- Imendable.. 'We have headed the col Epithalam- ium, because we feel that we, as colyumist-laureate to the University,:1 should say something about the Bur- ton-Stewart nuptials. Still, as we are rather new at the laureate game, and have encountered no births, deaths, or marriages prior to this one-a marriage-we are in doubt as to how to go about it. Perhaps we should only wish the happy couple all felicity.' E S S A Y The fascinating thing about the au- tomobile, we have decided, is the amount of ground covered in pro- portion to the effort put into driving 'by the driver. An automobile is a bore unless you are driving. Walking is a bore any- how, because you have to move your- self along by sheer muscle. Riding in a train, on the other hand, does not offer enough opportunity to the passenger to exert himself, and make himself feel that he is helping him- Self along. When one drives a car, one can shift gears, one can turn corners, one can watch people go by and holler at them-and yet one is covering a great deal of ground with relatively small exertion.1 I vertiainR ...........E.

H NRY GEORGE XENNAN Fate often' plays havoc with the es of men, sometimes for better i sometimes for worse.

' But on the failure of that ble, faith was lost in the project. its stead a land line .was to be n to Europe by way of British lumbia, Alaska, and Siberia. rhis gave Kennan an opportunity spend two years in Siberia. Here had such an opportunity as no aerican before him had enjoyed to serve the workings of the Russian ivict system. At this time the sys- a had by no means developed its, rst horrors, and he was impressedl h its practibility rather than its quity. Kennan then came back to America, t the call of the East and North s strong and in twenty years he nt back. But in those twenty years ne things had happened. The Si- rian system had developed to its lI extent of human rigors. Alex- ier III who had followed Alexan- r II as czar of Russia, had entered on a system of wholesale proscrip- n and oppression unparalled in his- y. On seeing this condition Mr. nnan was disappointed and as- nd'ed. Nevertheless he made pains- :ing investigations before returning America. Then came what was probably one his greatest works. I'e publishedj ides denouncing, and exposing the[ rors of Siberia and Russian exile. ssia protested; other countries lent attentive ear. Kennan was sure his facts and had proofs. A world- le sentiment was aroused, by the isation this caused. The system s abolished, probably not entirely e to Kennan, but at least he was no means an inconsiderate factor. kt this point Kennan did not stop, t began his crusade against czarism. is came to its ultimate end due he war Rnlhevinm took its ninen.

Failure to buy the canal would be ! to neglect what might prove, in the 1 event of war, a link of inestimable! value in the coast defences. It would be to deny New England the kind of; assistance in promoting transporta- tion that is generously accorded to other regions. And it would be to turn from opportunity to lessen the dangers of navigation, and so to save life. The logic of the situation and the weightsof the argument point to the purchase of the canal, if not at this time, at no very distant date.

In its policy of non- cooperation with the East regarding measures that would benefit the en- tire nation, but primarily the East, the West has shown itself to be selfish. The central portion of the country has long desired the national govern- ment to enter into a partnership with Canada--a foreign nation-in order that the St. Lawrence outlet of the Great Lakes may be improved. Why does the West want the St. Lawrence improved? So that ocean liners mayl dock at Chicago and Duluth, and thus1 bring about an increase in business. The West is very desirous that legis- lation to this effect should be passed1 by Congress, yet practically all of# their representation has been for some time, and still is violently op- posed to the purchasing and improv- ing of the Cape Cod Canal by the Government-a similar project, only -one that will primarily benefit the East. During the debate in the National House of Representatives yesterday concerning the Cape Cod Canal bill, a 'map was exhibited showing the location of hundreds of wrecks of ves- sels that had met disaster whji:k rounding the Cape. These tragedies of the sea involved the loss of 'any lives-they were the price paid by humble mariners for the failure toi provide that safe interior waterway whose practicability was recognized by the colonists over threo hundredr years ago. But the euponents of the bill ignored this pitiful tale. Instead they, or some oi them, became greatly ex'ited over the question of price, forgefttug that the sum mentioned in the bill is about five million dollars under the (lures set by a jury in a Federal court when the Government. undor- took to gain possession of the canal by condemnation proceedings. Those of the onnonents who are ru nroenta-; According to statistics furnished by the Ann Arbor Health Department (which is what you call when you want your garbage collected), 7 hu- man and 27 cat lives have been saved by the adoption of stop streets. The conservation of 10 individuals in this manner is truly a great accomplish- ment. But why should the university, the Athens of the West, bow to the City of A. A. in the matter of -pro- gress? Should we letmtheBoard of Commerce and other 100 per cent or- ganizations outstrip us? Nay, verily.r In short let ius have stop walks. What could be more efficacious for the life of the impetuous student? The Diagonal of course would be the first one. This would prevent studes who come bursting with knowledge out of N. S. Aud. after Heredity, from brut- ally jostling the quiet pedestrian in the spirit of natural selection (that the i ,rdest boiled survive). , 'It would also obviate the shock of 10 pound law book against full stomach when Crimes is' over Those who run the gauntlet as they issue from the Ec building would have to come to a full 1 stop before deploying on to the main thoroughfare, while the beastly en- gineers and dainty architects would i have to pause on the threshold of their respective departments to watch the elite, pass by. Other walks which might be in- cluded in this plan are the corridor through U hall, tihe Arcade and, in fine, any thoroughgoing footway which is subject to frequent, uncouth, and unperceivable encroachments from the side. Wherever there are flattened toes and ruffled tempers, there let us have stop walks. And what a de- lightful excuse for tardiness! I'm terribly sorry, professor, I got stalled at a stop walk and couldn't get the old Neolins to take hold again. Webster The professors at the University club must be in a terrible fluster when they meet Colleague Brumm after the performance at the Whitney theatre Friday night. They must be worried about what to say to him.r Possibly "Say Brumm, I enjoyed your play immensely the other night." Or "Congratulations, Brumm! Darn fine show!" But we predict that this will be a 1 favorite: "Say Jack, awfully _sorry I couldn't get to your play the other night. Had the most terrible cold..''

Here you carry round at the left or youcan shoot the water- falls. Then a calm hour to Dexter, where you will either shoot the falls or carry round at. the left. In tl"ee- quarters hour you will strike Sio, and shoot this waterfall easily. But the wa'ves look terrifying, and you may ship some water over the side. In another three-quarter hour you will come to Delhi Mills. Here you better carry round at left by a por- tage a hundred yards long putthig in below the bridge. You can run the flume on the left, though, if you are willing to jump ashore and pull the craft along a few feet when she grounds. In a half hour comes Os-I borne, and you will easily shoot both of these dams. After that your troubles are over, only that you will have to haul your canoes over two railroad tracks and around Barton Dam. At the end of the twenty mile excursion, which will take not more than seven hurs padd- I ling, you will vote that this adventure could not be surpassed for wildness, novelty or variety in Canada or in Maine. And best of all;doing it this way it does not cost very muh money either. Nor will heavy winds inter- fere as they sometimes do when voyageurs put in their canoes further up at Lakeland. H-lerbert A.

It is easy to understand the popular success of "The Old Soak," anI its theme of the reprobate-hero capital- ized from Rip and Falstaff t Light- nin' Bill Jones. There is always an appeal in the shiftless booze-drenched idler who sponges his way into the affections of his friends, and for the present generation in the general con- ception of yeasty liquor. But re- cently this theme has been tirelessly overworked until its situations, even in the cause of .the carefully con- structed plot built around the pre- sent play, somehow grows too familiar and for all its pat cleverness a trifle dull. "The Old .Soak" ran a packed sea- son in New York and it goes on its tour with the approval of an enthus- iastic Broadway criticism, but over its official success one cannot fail to admit the apparent artificiality of the situations: it is another one of those ,ingled-sided star plays that the oc- casional Belascos and the originator himself fatten their reputations and bank balances. The 6bjection, however, to this comedy and all of its class Is largely overruled by the efficient, often in- spired, acting of the leading player- .in "The Old Soak," of course, by Mr. Hitchcock. He has beei born with the subtle instinct of semi-obvious burlesque brought to a stop barely this side of repression; thoroughtlyI confident of his methods, he bringsl the ridiculous pathos that is the es- sence of farce to its most skilful ex- pression with every pantominic trick of the inbred clown The settings were good, the sup- norting cast was good, and Raymond Hitchcock was very good. 25 26 27 28 Is. 11.
