Flood Os Immigration From Italy Is Os Much Concern To Australia i By A. W. V. King (I*. I’. Staff Correspondent) Sydney.— (United Press.)—To in- ’ crease her population rapiuly, yet at , the same time preserve rigidly her 1 , White Australia policy, and. if poss- , ible, keep the present high proportion , of British stock, is a mixed ambition J ,of Australia fraught with many tangled racial problems. ( Australians boast of having 98 per . . cent of British stock, and despite the comparative slowness with which her empty spaces are filling, the parliaments and people of this country steadfastly refuse to encourage any inim'.gtants except those of British blood. In its way. the White Australia edict, banning colored races from these shores, is as great a social and political experiment as prohibition is iu America, but whereas prohibition ' splits the citizens of America, White Australia would find barely one opponent in Australia to 99 supporters. ' With the dole providing an easy 1 way of living to those classes in ' England upon whom Australia chiefly • relies for her immigrants, the authorities of this country have found suit- ■ able migrants increasingly scarce. But other races of Europe bend cove ' tous eyes upo nt he rich, fair land of • the south. Prominent among them are the Italians, hardest hit by Ameri lea’s immigration law. Since that '' came into force, there has been an • influx of Italians to Australia. Italt ian colonies have been formed on the I sugar cane fields of Northern Queensland. and one district is already known as Little Italy. The Italian influx threatens to become a national problem. The Queensland state government appointed a commission of investigation which reported adversely on the unrestricted entrance of Italians. Possessing no legal right to block white people entering the country, providing they 1 measure up to certain standards, the ' federal government did the next best ■ thing—it raised the mental, physical, f and financial standards of foreign I immigrants to such an extent that there was a perceptible diminution of ' the flow. | The labor unions are the greatest opponents of unrestricted foreign iin- ■ migration, since they fear wholesale i settling of men from the Mediterranean countries will undermine standards of living, and lower wages. Veterans of the World Wtlr, too, have ' entered protests. Civic officials re-

The outcry against the Italian inlux has excited interest in Italy, tvhere Mussolini I- credited with a jesire of seeing a large proportion of that counity'n 300,u00 annual pi,pula lion surplus go to Aintraliu.

The latest to arrive la Dr. Hoatagno, inspector general of Italian migration, who Ih here to make a survey of the situation, ns ho has 1 done in the United States, Paraguay, the Argentine, France and Belgium, lie says Italian emigrants are no longer birds of passage as before the war. No longer the unemployed but skilled workmen and agriculturists, want to emigrate. Meantime, dozens of Northern Queensland townships have Italian communities. Italian is heard in every street of these towns. Italian shops ami clubs have opened, and Italians are establishing themselves on the land as cane farmers. Australia is sure to fac»> very shortly the problem of asslmulatlng non-British settlers. Last Os The “Forty Niner<” Dies At His Home In Evanston, 111. Evanston, 111., Mar. 2. — (United Press) —The color and dash of the California gold rush of '49 now belongs l > the cold pages of history. The last of the “forty-niners" is dead. George W. Hotchkiss, who made his fortune with pick and pan in the first great days of the gold rush, died at his home in Evanston last night and at his funeral tomorrow there, will be none of his comrades present. Hotchkiss was wealthy at death, having invested his California gold dust in a profitable lumber business. He likewise had profited by lumber trade journals. o — Daily Democrat Want Ads Get Results wfeiRUBNOMORE WASHING POWDER rpn For Scrubbing Cellars Id U KILLS THE MOULD Through Truths |r Waity OHIO SPECIAL Lv.

SLEEPING SICKNESS Although medical science has made great headway in the practical, elimination of tuch epidemics as yellow fever and bubonic plague and has cut deep inroads In such diseases as typhoid fever and smallpox, yet certain maladies have sprung up In' America which were Scarcely known to exist on this continent before the world war. Among the most Startling of these recent diseases is sleeping sickness. The Bureau of Publicity of the Indiana State Medical Association issued a bulletin today giving a brief outline concerning the history and development of the disense in this country, ‘"R’very now and then we notice in the paper that some one in Indiana or a neighboring state is suffering from an attack of sleeping sickness and frequently we learn that the result Is fatal,” says the bulletin. "Why we haven't heard of this disease before is a wonder to almost nil. •‘The original sleeping sickness was a disease commonly developed among the natives of Africa due to the bite of the tsetse fly. After the influenza epidemic a disease developed in western Europe and America which for the want of a better name. American and continuental physicians called sleeping sickness, although this new sleeping sickness is not related in any way to the African disease. "The first cases of this new sleeping sickness developed shortly after the war in New York City and gradually spread to the central west and throughout the country on a wave
