There can be no question, of course, that Lloyd (Seorge would be personal grata to i 'he Harding administration or that he would ii' warmly welcomed here bv the great body ; ei the American people.

In the first place, they hitesi the disappearance of unemployment and the soundness oi basic industrial conditions. In the second place, they raise tho question of immigration law revision. Secretary Davis, of the Federal Department of Labor, is of the opinion that it would bo unwiso to change tho 3 per cent quota foaturo of the present immigration law and admit for a time more able-bodied and desirable immigrant.-* from certain countries than tho law now permits. Secretary Mellon and some other members ,of President Hard ing's Cabinet are said to have reached tho opposite conclusion?namely, that the im migration law ought to be so liberalized as to supply American industry with tho common and unskilled labor it needs and will need even more urgently as business further improves." The question of adequate labor supply Is a virtually important one, and its solution is not as simple as it might seem. An in creasing shortage would naturally result to the temporary advantage of the wage earning classes, because the competition for their labor would result in a rising scale of wages. Hut sooner or later there would ' be a reaction in the slowing down of in- | dustrial activity, due to inability to meet i the rising costs of production in world i competition, in which we have restricted J our trade opportunities by tarift laws tend- | ing to shut us out of foreign markets for our ow;? wares. in this reaction with its I consequent industrial depression, American I skilled labor would soon tind itself facing { conditions which would make for its own unemployment, for without a basic super structure of common, or unskilled, labor as a foundation for enlarging its own oppor tunities for active productive effort, a gen eval slowing down of industrial enterprise would occur. . -? ? ? ? ?
