...quota based on the 1890 census (the present quotas are 3% on the 1910 census) have aroused many foreign groups and nations to protest. But last week's fight centred principally on the provision for absolute exclusion of all aliens ineligible for citizenship, meaning especially Japanese. Secretary of State Hughes had previously opposed that provision on the ground that it would offend Japan. The total exclusion provision would break the commercial treaty of 1911 which allowed Japan to send immigrants, but was accompanied by a "gentleman's agreement" that the Japanese Government would not issue passports...
SOMEWHERE AT SEA-John Fleming Wihon-Dutton ($2.00). A salty, foam-flecked collection of short stories for those who love the sea-or Joseph Conrad-or both. Stories not alone of wrecks and lighthouses-though those are not absent-but a peculiarly graphic and moving analysis of a psychology alien to the landlubber; evolved, apparently, out of a sailor's long silent hours between wave and sky.

Nothing human was alien to him, and he had 'the divine gift of sympathy.' He wrought mightily for the prosperity of the Nation and for the peace of the world, but he clothed the exercise of power with the beautiful garment of gentleness. If American life with all its possibilities of conflict...
...McLean was the man who ex-Secretary Fall had said lent him $100,000. McLean, through his attorney, A. Mitchell Palmer (first Alien Property Custodian and later Attorney General under Mr. Wilson), had confirmed this statement. Later, Senator Walsh of Montana had taken testimony from Mr. McLean at Palm Beach, in which the latter admitted that, although he had given Mr. Fall checks for $100,000, they had been returned uncashed. So Mr. McLean was indubitably connected with the oil scandals...
