Were this fact to be admitted by the gentlemen who make such laws, the great majority of our immigration difficulties could be averted. You cannot handle immigration as you do the tariff. The only fair way to settle the perplexity is to allow the officials at each port of entry more personal discretion in the judgment of the various cases--to make the Quota Law itself more flexible, more capable of expansion as necessity arises.

Founded on one of the great comedy situations which have delighted mankind since the beginning of the world--mistaken identities--Goldsmith's old story of the heiress who wins, as a barmaid, the love of a youth too bashful to court her in her proper surroundings possesses a curious perennial freshness. Granted that some of the stage...
