Examiner Waahlncton Buraaa. WASHINGTON, Sept. 1. Bills to bar a tidal wave of immigrants from pouring over the United States during the reconversion period will be pressed by the American Legion as soon as Con gress reconvenes. Legion officials will call for an outright ban on all immigration while unemployment rolls continue above the one million mark, MANY JOBLESS.

Two million persons are unem ployed now, according to War Manpower Commission data, and Government officials estimate that from five to eight million will be out of work before tho change over to peace time economy is completed. "This is no time for immigration to the United States," Col. John Thomas Taylor, national Legion legislative director, declared. "Hundreds of thousands of persons In Europe are waiting eagerly to come to the United States at the earliest opportunity, but their entry would only augment our burdens of unemployment and relief. DISPLACED PERSONS.

"The bars must be put up and kept up while unemployment continues." Taylor said that thousands of the so-called "displaced persons' in Europe who are refusing to return to their former homes on that continent; are seeking to come to the United States instead. "At least 50 per cent of those who are protesting against being sent back to their home countries have in mind immigrating to the United States," he commented. "They believe It will be easier to go from their present locality to this country than It would be from their own home- I land." ASK DEPORTING. i In addition to banning immigration during the unemployment period, the Legion will also advocate a strong deportation policy when Congress reconvenes. Strong mandates of the national veterans organization back the Legion legislative director.

Legion resolutions advocate that all immigration be barred until: Unemployment in 1 country drops to less than 1,000,000. 2 All veterans have been afforded the opportunity for gainful employment. ONE EXCEPTION. All so-called members of foreign labor battalions, refugees, war prisoners and those given temporary haven during the war have been returned to the lands of their origin. The one exception to the non-Immigration rule advocated by the Legion applies to foreign-born wives, husbands and children of American members of the armed forces.

Chungking conferences of co operation between Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and the Communist chief, Mao Tse-tung, are regarded here as a continuation of moves toward an American loan which began last April at San Francisco. Whatever degree of collabora tion Mao consents to, according to opinion of those familiar with recent Chinese financial gestures, will be merely to present an appearance of Chinese unity which not only might influence the American Treasury in a loan up to three billion dollars, but might encourage investment of American private capital in China. MAO SHREWD. Mao is credited with being one of the shrewdest men in the Far East, managing to make the Com munist group seem important whereas it includes but a fractional part of 1 per cent of the total population. It is taken for granted he Is thoroughly aware that neither the United States Government nor Wall Street will advance funds to China if a Communist revolution threatens.

The new Chinese-Russian friendship pact has deprived Mao of any hope he may have had for violent seizure of the Chungking central government, making CoW munist encroachment a matter of political scheming, as in the United States. Therefore, according to Washington opinion on the right-wing side, it is to Mao's advantage under the new conditions to obtain all he can for the China he still hopes to govern in behalf of Russia some day. FOR MONEY. Willingness of Chinese Com munists to co-operate wijh Chung king for the sake of American money was first disclosed in the activities of Tung Pi-wu, Com munist member of the People's Council at Chungking, member of the Chinese delegation to the United Nations Conference at San Francisco. Tung lost no opportunity on his way to the United States to in form the press that he intended to co-operate entirely with the non-Communist members of the delegation at the conference.

Amazed Chinese Communists in San Francisco spent an entire night in argument with him in a hotel room shortly after his arri val, trying to persuade him to follow the usual Communist line of disruption. PERSUADES MAO. At the end he informed them blandly that for the sake of greater China and the American money it needs, he would return home to persuade Mao Tse-tung to consent to a sufficient show of co-operation with Chiang Kai-shek to convince Americans that the civil breach had been healed. There is little advance criticism in Washington of any loan the United States may make to Chiang Kai.shek's Government under world finance methods now being devised by President Truman. It is felt that China truly de serves American aid for currency stabilization purposes, and that American capital Would find a rich field for adventure in China if political security is assured.

Chiang, it is argued, is aware that Mao is conciliatory at pres ent largely because the Communists also want American money China. But Chiang, ac cording to his supporters here, is in increasingly strong position to make sure American funds are used according to his program.

More than 1,000,000 acres of land in northern Arizona controlled by the National Park and Monument Services an estimated 700,000 acres of it in the Grand Canyon National Park should be returned to grazing, livestock men asserted at a Senate Public Lands Committee nearing recently. By ALEXANDER B.

GEORGE WASHINGTON, Sept. 1. (AP) A back to the farm move ment, reversing the wartime rush to the cities, is under way. But it looks as though there won't be enough room for all the farm Thousands of discharged war workers and former servicemen are coins back to farm work. Many are returning because farm' ing is their preferred occupation.

Others are heading for the corn and the cotton, the cows and the chickens because they find it difficult to get jobs in the cities. The migration of some 000 people from farms In the five years 1940 to 1945 was the great est, in history. Some 4,650,000 civilians of both sexes and various lured mainly by high wages In war plants, left farms to go to cities and towns. More than 650,000 farm people went into the armed services. MANY WANT FARMS.

A considerable number of the 8,000,000 persons who Reconver sion Director John W. Snyder es timates may be unemployed next spring may be farm minded. Lrov ernment economists say "signift cant numbers" of war workers have been buyjng land, especially in areas near war industrial centers. That indicates many plan to farm in rasp nther tabs are not available. But Department of Agriculture officials, who have made a special study of postwar prospects, say "the eventual demand for farms verv likely will be materially greater than the supply of good available farms.

There are siens also that oppor tunities for work as farmhands may be more limited than before the war. The high price of land will keep manv people of small means from buying farms. State agricultural authorities, many bankers and farmers themselves are warning war veterans and other prospec tive buyers can lose their shirts In this period or in flated land values." In a poll taken by the Depart ment of Agriculture, a majority of corn belt farmers said they believed It would be risky to buy land now. They think any one who does buy should make a very Kiihstantifli down ravment. A majority of farmers recommended a down payment of at least' one half.

LEBT DANGEROUS. A typical farmer comment: "In my honest opinion, If they can't pay half they shouldn't buy any. Otherwise, they get In debt too deep the Is so deep, they can't get out." The Bureau of Agricultural Economics estimated that for most farmers to "come out" on the land, bought at wartime prices, a price level for farm products approaching the 1925-1929 level must be maintained. This is definitely lower than the recent wartime level but considerably higher than that of 1935-1939. Of the six million farms reported in the 1940 census, not more than half were sending substantial quantities of produce to the market.

The top two million farms marketed 84 per cent of all farm products sold. These figures were changed somewhat by the end of the war, but farm" experts say that even then nearly half of the farmers did not have much opportunity to apply their labor productively and live well. During the war the number of workers on farms compared with the number at work off farms was the smallest in history. Yet more food was produced than in any preceding period.

THREE POINTS.

Three points were made by the War Department in explanation of its policy. They are: 1 The men in this country making the greatest protest against being sent to Japan are' all under 37 years of age and have less than seventy five discharge points. They are being sent to the Pacific to relieve men who have been in the Pacific theater since 1942, many of them with more than 700 days of combat service. They were given priority to return to this country ahead of eighty-five point men in the European theater as of May 12, with the understanding that, after thirty, day furloughs at home they would be redeployed to the Pacific so that the men who have never been home slrce 1942 might 4iave a chance. HIGH SCORES.

As of August 14, the War Department said, there were men in the Pacific who had eighty-five points as of last May 12. In addition to this group of men with eighty-five points May 12 their scores as of August 12 would be ninety-one there are 200,000 Pacific veterans with a minimum of eighty points as of August 12. The War Department made public the sailing dates of the divisions now in the Pacific-pointing out that overseas service is counted from the sailing dates as indicative of the terms of service of the men waiting for release.

FARM SURVEr. A survey made by the Army shows that 900,000 to 1,000,000 servicemen may seek farms and farm employment. Some 300,000 of those who definitely plan to farm do not have specific loca tions of farms in mind and will be looking for farm jobs or farms to operate. Many others who plan to return to the family farm or say they know of a farm to rent or buy may find they will have to look for farms or farm employment after alL The Army survey Indicates that relatively few veterans perhaps 100,000 want jobs as farm hired men. However, many veterans who now hope to become farm operators may have to accept jobs as hired workers because of the competition for land.

'Some may wish to work for a time as hired men before they take on the costs and responsi bilities of runnine farms for themselves.

The MacArthur request was based on his need for trained troops, with less service than his three year Pacific veterans, but still capable or meeting any contingency that may arise dur ing the initial occupation period in Japan.

Since V-J Day a new discharge point computation is being made. based on V-J Day as a terminal date. NEW SYSTEM. All men in the Pacific with 80 V-J Day points or over are listed for return to this country, while men being sent to the Pacific are all under 75 points, as of V-J Day. "As soon as General Mac-Arthur feels that the Japanese situation is sufficiently safe to permit a large reduction in forces there," it was said, "the discharge point score probably will be scaled downward to 60, with priorities according to accrued points.

"But, in fairness to those men who have been in the Pacific for three years or more, and those men still in Europe who had their 85 points as of May 12, the question of a soldier from Europe, who has had a thirty day furlough, who came home first with the understanding that he was to be redeployed to the Pacific, must be considered in relation to the whole picture. FEW VOLUNTEER. "The people at home must remember that a majority of the men now In divisions listed for Pacific shipment did not have combat, but have been transferred into the redeployment divisions from the forces in this country who did not get to the fighting fronts. "A proportion of those with enough combat points to get out have requested Japanese service. "But no man with more than 75 points, or over 37 years of age, is going to the Pacific unless he has asked for such service." Principal complaints have come from the 86th, 95th, 97th and 104th Divisions, all of which fought in Europe.

None of them sailed for Europe prior to 1944. other farm-worker jobs will be available in the first five years after the war." SOME OPENINGS. These openings will come through retirement, death or physical incapacity of about 600, 000 elderly farmers, changes to other jobs by 200,000 farmers, the sale of surplus military land, some new farm developments and replacements of 500,000 to 750,000 women, children and others now working on farms. Census studies indicate that only three out of five young men who reached maturity on farms in 1940 were needed to replace older men in the farm popula' tion. Despite heavy loss of young men from farms because of the war, in 1944 there were still enough young men and boys 15 to 24 to replace all of the older men who will die or retire during the next ten years.

Many persons who have had no more farming experience than growing a small victory garden would like to acquire "dream farms." These "dream farms," say seasoned tillers of the soil, could easily turn out to be nightmares. Real farming, they emphasize, is a hard way to make a living, cash returns are usually small and the price of farms now is dangerously high. Colleges Form 'Gl Association' BROOKLYN, Sept. 1.
