Mr Bertha II. Demshak, Man 4 hattan, home: "Yes, I think so. I'm married and I know the feeling that exists between man and wife. If the two feel sure that each can trust the other the marriage is bound to be a happy and permanent one. To I tf ft LOTS OF PEOPLE WANT IN Our State Department, gearing up its immigration and visitor visa machinery for the postwar period, finds that there is a mass wish all over Europe to come to the United States and settle here.

Under the quota system long in effect, a total of slightly more than 150,000 persons can move into this country per year from other countries. Out of this total, Great Britain, Germany and Ireland are allotted 114,000, which leaves a pretty small pie not over 40,000 for the rest of the countries of the world to cut up among them. Agitation is already under way to raise the quotas, or drill some loopholes in the existing quota system, in order to let many more than 150,000 persons emigrate to the United States each year for some time to come. Not affected by the quota laws are Postwar about 100,000 foreign brides of American Immigrants soldiers. Britain has about 50,000 of these, Australia and New Zealand 20,000.

Such women can petition for non-quota status; and there are bills pending in Congress to drop the petition requirement and let them come on over as fast as shipping space can be found for them. Postwar immigration is slow up to now for two main reasons. Ships to carry immigrants to the United States are scarce, and many other countries are being stingy about letting any of their people emigrate, because the war cut down those countries' manpower. It is interesting to note that, while tens of millions of people would like to come here from other countries, very few Americans are anxious to go back to where they or their ancestors came from. The original Americans, and many later ones, came here to get away from kings, aristocrats, established churches, racial quarrels, and so on.

They found this to be a splendid country, and much too good for the Indians, so tell each other their past mistakes and misdeeds would be the best indication of honesty and intentions."

There is still some discontent over the treatment of Negroes in this country, but there is no evident movement of Negroes back to Africa. Only a few Irishmen ever go back from here to live in Ireland. Not many Englishmen, once settled hen', have any strong yearnings to return to England to live. Some Germans. Italians and southeast Europeans go home to live after'making sonic money here, but not many.

Even people from the Russian Communist paradise who have managed to escape to this capitalistic hell seem to be fairly content to stay here. As regards Asia, the situation is the same: few Nisei want to go back to Japan to live, and few Chinese to China. We hope that, instead of making immigration to this country, easier, we shall make it tougher, for some years to come. You can call it selfish for Americans thus to be unwilling to share this country with unlimited numbers of newcomers. But it is no more selfish than for foreigners to want to stream here in millions, share our comparative wealth, and pull down our standards of living.

Let the mistakes of one balance the mistakes of the other. The it would be an cars, houses, household goods, clothes, is satisfied, unemployment is likely to be with us again. We'll be worse out of luck than we need be if during the boom we have admitted immigrants in large numbers. There is another and longer-range aspect of the matter, too.

We have helped Europe finish its two latest big wars; but it does not follow that we must now save Europe from the consequences of war to the extent of letting it flood the United States with its victims of war. Poverty and misery are the inevitable penalties of the sport of kings and dictators war. We didn't start this war. Various Europeans let themselves be hypnotized by premiers and dictators into starting it. If they have to pay the price in full, this generation of Europeans, at least, should learn the folly and futility of war.

If such a thing happens often enough, wars may cease though that is a faint and idealistic hope, in the light of all human history to date. But at least it is no duty of ours to injure our own country in hope of saving Europe from the penalties of war, and we should not try it.
