V. §. Check on Labor Flow Causes Similar Bars * Parla, Oct. 13 (UP)—Once villi- fied and classed as unfair to human- ity, the quota aystem of immigra- tion restriction created by the| United States to check the flow of | emigrants from overseas, is slowly being adopted under only slightly different form all over Europe where new immigration problems| have been created by the indus- trialization of the Continent. | When Secretary of Labor Davis| was in Europe recently, on a tour of study of labor conditions, he es-| timated that 5,000,000 Europeans snd Aslatics were waiting for their| turn to come into America and if | the bars were lifted tomorrow every | ecean liner would be filled on every |, roight in Cuba, not included in ! war ceased. westbound passage for 18 months with nothing but immigrants and still the tide would flow westward. | France today finds herselt in much the same positilon the United | States was in a few years ago. She has enough work for her own popu- lation but not enough for the un- employed of all Furope and Eng- Jand. Consequently she has erected | bars, without any fuss and as quiet- | 1y as possible. i | . TYtaly is doing the same thing. A nchman who wants to go to | more closely cipally since the World War—the time when the so-called *“Jass age” began. Americans live in a rush- and-run manner, and the advent of “jazs” only encouraged it. “RARY AUTOS” POPULAR Paris, Oct. 12. (UP)—The “baby auto” is now firmly established in the motoring world in Europo and is threatening to oust the higher powered car ‘from its supremacy. The average power of the small cars is 7 h, p. and their popularity is to be found in low- petrol con- sumption, smaller taxation, adap‘a- bility in crowded streets and—im- portant consideration In crowded cities — small space required for garaging. Many tirms throughout Europe are turning out these *baby autos” in thousands weekly and it is pre-] dicted that American car manufac- turers will have to study this branch of the motoring market it they are to main- tain sales on this side of the At. lantic.

England long ago barred Con- inental workers for her own wun-| ployed are providing a problem hich several successive govern- | ‘ments have been unable to solve. | | Labor Blames America \ Labor leaders all over ®openly blame America for the con- dition, but government officials ‘eannot blame the United States for| | the immigratiion stand she took. | When the bars of American ports| re levelled against mass move- mtents of labor from abroad into| ! United States, there was created “vast labor surplus which is today | mated at 10,000,000 on the Con- | nt, outside of Russia, and in the | tish Isles. One of the problems of the | League of Nations labor bureau is %o find something for those ten mil-| Mons to do. Had America continued o import labor during the past ten Dears at the rate she did from the Deginning of the century until the | ond of the war, this surpplus would ot exist today. .

They are being lorganized into colonizing expeditions and sent to South America, More than two milllen acres have alrcady been turned over in Brazil to thes: Polish immigratioin groups and they | settle into communitiecs where they carry on the life and traditilons of ©ld Poland. 8o vast is the movement of Pol- sh labor towards the new world | that ocean steamship companies in a race for the carrying of is mass. Even French lines have Mtretched their services up into the g:mc. where they compete with rmans and British in carrying the million Poles a year into Argen- | ‘tine, Brazil and the United States. | GPEX AR POWER WORKS | " PREDICTED AT GAS MEET htl.
