PAGE 4 THAT WATER POWER CONFERENCE TWELVE MILLION PROBLEMS N ATTEMPT is being made by certain interests to have it appear that the water power con- gress, in session at Portland, will reflect the senti- ment of the Western states on the Ferris bill, now pending in congress, with reference to the proper development of water and power sites. But who selected the delegates to this con- ference? Have the people had anything to say about the delegates? Not at all. In some mysterious fashion, not clearly ex- plained, a host of delegates appear at this conven- tion. A certain Mr. Pierce appears as a delegate for Seattle. | Who chose him? How does he come to speak for Seattle? This Pierce is a representative, rather, of the General Electric Co., the parent corporation of electric companies thruout the United States. Look thru the rest of the list. Outside of the governors and senators and congressmen, the delegates, for the most part, have the stamp of the electric monopoly branded upon them. Even at that, those who are not tied up with the electric company are holding their own pretty well and are showing the country that the West is not as anxious to be fettered by a private monop- oly as some newspapers and mouthpieces of the electric corporations would have it appear. Outbursts of Everett True HERE are said to be in these United States 12,- 000,000 foreigners who are neither citizens nor would-be citizens, since they have not declared their intentions to take out naturalization papers. According to the Dumba disclosures, and the laws of who knows how many other foreign na- tions, these people are still under the laws of the countries from which they came. They can be tried and even put to death for things they may do in this country supposed to be against the interests of their home government, If this be so, they may be commanded to do things, as well as called upon to stop doing things. They might have laws over there under which they could be called to active service of almost any sort in this country. The German laws, and probably those of some other countries—Japan for instance—permit thei: nationals in this country to even go so far as to take the oath of allegiance to the United States, and still remain citizens of the foreign government to which they renounce all allegiance with uplifted hand. This is the strongest argument against our immigration policy which has yet come to the sur- face of things. We used to think that foreigners come here because they fled from things they dis- liked to things they loved. This is no longer so. The great employers of cheap labor have herded men to this country like slaves, and have inflicted upon us a new and great problem—to speak within bounds, 12,000,000 separate and distinct problems. OUNT VON REVENLOW, the noted German military writer whose remarks in the Berlin newspapers from time to time add to the enter- tainment of the world, and even to the moon and stars on occasions, now calls attention to another example of the brutal, not to say beastly, inhuman- ity of the British. He points out the utter disregard of the principles of humanity and civilization shown by the English government in not deport- ing the 5,000,000 civilian men, women and babies of London from their homes so that they shall not be blown to hash by the destroying German Zep- pelins.
