ing charges must be threshed out to
the bottom.

FLOOD OF UNSKILLED MEXICAN LABORERS MENACE, SAYS DAVIS (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 15. Measures to control what Is said to be a vast body of alien Mexican unskilled labor in the United States are recommended to Secretary Davis In a report by special agents of the department of labor made public today. The report sets forth that the alien Mexican laborers illegally in the United States are a menace to American labor and American communities.
Recommendations for meeting the
situation are a system of registration,
together with more rigid mental and
physical examination and selective immigration through examination before entry. It is suggested that the enforcement of such provisions be placed under federal control in the hands of a central body, such as a "border patrol," co-operation with state and municipal authorities is also suggested, not only in the enforcement of American regulations but also in the judicial distribution of Mexican labor already in the United States and legally admitted under the immigration laws. ' Tide Sweeps Country The report indicates that there are about 416,493 foreign born Mexicans in
Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Cali
fornia and 48,392 in 12 adjacent states.
The tide of Mexican immigration, it
i3 declared, is creeping in every direction throughout this country, and Mexican colonies are. springing up in
communities throughout the entire middle west. The principal outlets

The report says there appears to
be no reason why Mexican labor
should be admitted into the border states 'a.s the legal flow of Mexican
immigration will take care of all sea
sonal activities if the labor is judicious
ly distributed.
It i3 declared that most of the legally admitted Mexicans come in as a result of the activities of railroad labor agencies and later drift from the
railroads into other occupations often supplanting American residential labor.
European Diplomats See New Vigor Added
to League by Turkey
(By Associated Press) LAUSANNE, Dec. 15 European diplomats gathered" here believe that the admission of Turkey to the League of Nations will impart new vigor and a new meaning to that organization. From the beginning of the Near East conference the Turkish leaders have stressed their desire to westernize
their country: and European states
men who have faith in the league as
a substantial machine contributing ef
fectively to world peace are convinced
that whole-hearted co-operation by Turkey in the league's affairs would
prove an important step in the maintenance of a general peace.
The thoroughly Occidental aspect ot
the majority of the Turkish delegates has impressed every one attending the
conference. Some members of the
delegation remain loyal to the fez but
generally speaking the men from An
gora and Constantinople present an appearance as smartly western as that of
any of the European diplomats;. . .
c Wives Attend Session.
Several of the Turkish' delegates are
here with their wives, who are fash
ionably gowned in the latest Parisian
modes and are the cenetr of interest at the afternoon teas In the Lausanne ho
tels. 1
A foreigner who engages a Turk In
conversation will learn sooner or later
during their chat that Turkey first of
all wants complete sovereignty over
the Ottoman territory and that secondly she seeks western culture. In short Turkey desires to become a real mem-
berof the comity of nations. If she joins the league which Ismet Tasha
said yesterday she would seek to do if
peace was signed here, Turkey can
walk into Europe by the front door
and make herself at home.

(By United Presa) WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.
Va., Dec. 15 The governors' confer
ence here will refuse to take a stand either on prohibition enforcement or the Ku Klux Klan, it was definitely decided today by leaders of the 17 state executives) in attendance.
Gov. SprouL Pennsylvania, chairman ot the conference, and! other members of the executive committee, flatly rejected the demand ot Gov. Parker, Louisiana, that the conference adopt resolutions on both subjects.
The Klan question caused the gov
ernors to hold & session until well after last midnight. At this session somewhat heated discussion broke
out because Gov. John M. Parker, of
Louisiana, earlier in the evening had delivered a challenge to his colleagues
to meet squarely what he called the
twin mnace ot prohibition law violations and the Ku Klux Klan. Governors Morrison, North Carolina, and Kilby, Alabama, said' they agreed

congressional legislation should be
enacted to curb the klan. Parker has recommended laws to force filing with the department of justice, sworn lists of members of all secret orders, and another to prohibit masking.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. J 5. Defeat of special tax levies at the November
election has left many Ohio cities fac
ing what is described by some as a "disastrous financial condition," a survey today by the Associated Press
showed.
Of the larger municipalities, Cincinnati, Toledo, Lima and Youngstown,
are due for the greatest curtailment
in activities. Lima streets have been going unllghted and uncleaned, and the police and fire departments have been cut to skeleton organizations, the result of a defeat of a fwo-mill levy. Cincinnati cut its budget for next years $900,000, and still faces a deficit of $79,000.' Appropriations for the police and fire department each were slashed $100,000. Sinking fund requirements for Toledo next year will total $2,000,000, nearly half the city's revenues, and the mayor's budget estimates operating expense at $650,000, above what will be left after the sinking fund has been taken care of.
Turn Down Levy. A levy of 1.5 mills was turned down
by Youngstown voters and tiiat city is figuring on. a deficit of $744,111.66 for 1923
A special three-mile tax levy, voted
in 1920 in Columbus, to run for three years, has enabled city officials there
to pull through this year without any
appreciable deficit, they said.
Many cities will try to replenish
their revenues by levying special
taxes. loieao is contemplating in
creased licensing taxes and privilege
tees, in loungstown, garbage collection and street lighting may be charged for.
Of the big cities, Cleveland reports the best financial condition. It will start the year with an actual surplus in the treasury of $300,000.
