¥ D.- €, SEPTEMBER 20, Party — — 1931, a fallen buccaneer. “Here!” shouted.the Prince. “Be careful of that. You might hurt somebody.” She couldn’t hear him, but she knew what he meant, and indicated in pantomine her reply: “I was only-going to give it to father.” The Prince considered swiftly. There was no likelihood that Senator Borrow knew how to use & cutlass. Therefore Prince Heider put the wooden leg in Senator Borrow's extended hand, and grabbed the cutlass himself. Senator Borrow lifted the wooden leg over his head with the apparent intention of striking at something. What he really hit was the mirror in back of him. expected, dauvghter to a position in back stood, menacingly, at the mouth police at the door, the Prince would ready for the embalmer inside of ! seconds. ~ As it was, the crowd was slightly be- wildered. A gunman without his gun is as use- Jess as an egg-beater without a handle. UT the spectacle of the prince, facing them sword in hand, inspired them o arm them- selves similarly. Cutlasses, rapiers and broad- swords leaped from their scabbards. As the freebooters advanced, the unfamiliar weapons held rather foolishly in their right hands, the Prince slashed his cutlass across thzmthcnylsm.nnboydngsuhthllong a picket fence. The first impact of the Prince’s weapon knocked about half the swords from their unfamiliar resting-places. After that, he began dealing with his opponents individually, and by a combination of broadsword fighting and fencing, either broke their blades or twisted them from their hands. That was only a temporary advantage, how= ever. He knew, as did his opponents, that he could not last forever. “Can you hear me?” inquired a voice in back of him. Strangely enough, he could. Perhaps he could have heard that voice amid the grinding American Immigration N enace Continucd from Third Page tions of beecoming citizens; may have papers filed, but within that first five years they can- not complete their citizenship, hence may be deported—and are, as fast as we can prove the cases.against them. Next comes the alien who has been here for more than five years, but has not completed citizenship, and commits two crimes. Do not misunderstand me—if he had completed eiti- mhlp,veeouldnotdeponmmwnhmty crimes marked- up against him during that time. We could at best obtain his conviction and sentence to imprisonment or the electric -ehdr,lecofdln(tomenflmdhlsol- fenses. But, as long as he is not 2 full-fliedged citizen, this type of alien is deportable. If a man comes into this country legally— that is, fegally as far as visas, etc, are con- cerned—and it s discovered at any time later that during his past life (before he left his native Jand) he had been convicted and served sentence for any offense involving moral turpi- tude, he may be deported as an unlawfully ad- mitted salien. This constitutes the fourth class of deportables. The fifth group, in my ‘estimation, composes the type of alien least deserving of sympathy, yet which, for some inexplicable reason, is looked upon most cften as a much-abused and wronged character. Clac:ifled in this group we have those who have come to this country to enjoy its benefits, take all they can get and spend their time advocating the overthrow of ~:~ this Government by force and violence. As 1 remarked recently and repeat with em-- phasis, it has been a puzzle to me always to learn upon what ground these organiza- tions base their reasoning and yet call them- selves “Americans.” There is nothing Ameri- can in it, nothing democratic. They aid these of violence in their appeals to the courts and, if the courts uphold the order for deportation, they descend in much agita- tion upon the Department of Labor, crying loudly for “justice” and presenting this or that plea for a change of the deportation order. ‘When ‘these pleas prove of no avail, they quickly resort to the humanitarian touch; they weep copiously over the plight of the would-be citizen who is being thus cruelly ejected from the land he “wishes to adopt” and use specious and lachrymose arguments in his behalf. The slogan, “America first,” be- comes on their tongues, “America last.” As for the future, I see the necessity for continuing our present policy of immigration restriction and for increasing our powers of assimilation of the foreign-born element of our population. This is largely a matter of edu- cation. I intend in my next réport to Con- gress upon the activities of the Department of Labor to make a request for immediate legis- Jation raising the educational requirements for admission to citizenship. I think no more con- structive action could be taken by Congress than the passage of a citizenship law so strengthened, under the influence of which the sdult:nentnmheountry'o\fl‘:.bew BY FRANK R.

Leave this place at once!” That wasn't such mad advice. Fame and Prince Heider acted on it immediately.

People were thronging in. “Where are we, Charles?” Fame asked the chauffeur. “I dunno. This is the address your father gave me,” he returned. & “’At's right,” sald Senator Borrow, ening up. “This is the place.
