Case Sirs: In your article on IMMIGRATION, TIME, Nov. 8, you did Secretary Davis and the Department of Labor a serious injustice in relation to the case of Anna Komarmicka. I felt there must be some explanation which you did not have that would take the sting out of the article. I wrote to Secretary Davis, and herewith hand you his statement concerning the matter, which is most satisfactory and very creditable to the Department and to Secretary Davis.

He felt an immense, searching pity for himself, homeless, a wanderer...
...Dowager Baroness Michelham put up the art collection at public auction. International buyers came to the house, with cohorts, many of them, of mysterious agent-bidders, "Mr. X," "Mr. Y," "Mr. Z." Sir Joseph Duveen was in the U. S. But Sir Joseph's in fluence was felt. As often before, he secured most of the cream. He expressed his intention of transferring it to the U. S. Very possibly Maecenas Huntington, who ever seems to know what he wants, will presently receive of the cream the topmost layer, which again very possibly was already contracted...
