Editor and Publisher - Office Phone I—Home Phone R-1787 Thursday, April 10, 1930 Congressmen On Immigration There are still some Congressmen who are dwelling in the past when it comes to discussing our present immigration problem. The immediate .problem has chiefly to do with immigration from me western hemisphere. The point that interests the ordinary citizen, even if it doesn’t trouble his Representative in Congress, is .not the comparative virtues of certain races, as recently set forth by certain self appointed champions, and others. What interests the ordinary citizen the ope he has, and support his family. What is beginning to concern intelligent einplayers is. not whether they can have on hand large quantities of surplus workers whom they can hire and fire at will; they pre fer steady employees whom they know and like. . What concerns them now mostly is whether they. can continue to, carry on in communities that are burdened with such large quantities of 1 unheeded labor. They know that_ the support of,these working people,.and the education of their families must in the end, come back on them whether they hire them or not. They feel that enforced idleness is bad and expensive for the whole community Ihe position of Massachusetts is typical of that of other states. Since the passage of the Immigration Act of 1924, some 80,(HW foreigners hav< come in to take the jobs of Massa chussetts citizens at a lime when ey . eryhody knows there have not beer jobs enough, to go— around for out own people. Only a small portion o fthis is offset by people going out ' The same conditions exist in many other states. A little way off aerothe border each year, Canada is tak ing in some one hundred and twenty five thousand people from the sea and there are large Canadian de velopment interests which want cheap and abundant labor. They want this kind of a cheap labor mar ket s<» that their new territory, with rough conditions and cold winters may be developed. It is the cenu lion of this labor market, controlled by Canadian interests, that determine es the fact that many Canadians are compelled to leave home to,get jobs. Many of them prefer to go south to the United States. If we will, we can control our part of this matter so that it will be better for the people.• on both sides of the border. The American labor market need not and should not be controlled by Canadiai immigration laws and by Canadian business interests. On the whole, Canadian immigrawes ever had. The people of Canada has sent us need no vindication, but it. does not heip the ordinary man if his job is filled.even by a good man. What we do need is .that more of our Congressmen shall get out <>f the past with its f> race bickerings and look after the present interests of their own American constituents of all origins- Immigration from both Canada and Europe requires attention, as well as the all important Mexican problem. This is an American problem to be looked at from an American point of view. Hospitality is a noble thing, but taking the stranger in and sharing him With somebody else’s last crust is not true hospitality. The generosity of some of our Representatives in voting to give their conconstituents' jobs to foreigners has been wonderful; but is is costing the distress and suffering of many, and it is worth while for the constituents to look into it if the Representatives do not. The Congressman who is still dwelling in the past and extolling the virtues of sundry foreigners should be asked the plain question: “Is your district- burdened with too many jobs that can’t be filled; or has it too many workers who can’t get work’*’ A Rubbish Heap Or A Park? ' The prosperity of this town depends upon its attractiveness to visitors. People-cannot be attracted to a lake or town by rubbish heaps. Then why let such a rubbish heap as exists along Syracuse Lake, in a prominent position, stay where it can be seen by every one who travels the main highway? Would it not be better for the whole community to clean up this dumping ground and make it into a place of real attractiveness and use? Make it into a park and obtain the benefits that will accrue from its beauty and added attraction, and the satisfaction that results from something well done? The park can be accomplished with oat being burdensome to the town, if there is a spirit of cooperation developed, instead of knocking the only

project Tor a park that has materialized. Perhaps you would prefer to let the dump stand as it is, and let Syracuse try to collect the benefits from the mosquito breeding place, and rat infested trash heap’ Summer visitors mean prosperity, and attractiveness means summer visitors. Most Papers Insist on Facts! Syracuse residents were sorry to read the mis-statement of facts in a Ft. Wayne, paper last week. Some local correspondent here had neglected to ascertain the true cause of the death of one of Syracuse’s well known citizens. His family, attending physician ,and the coroner’s report all could have furnished the im formation that death was caused by | bronchial pneumonia. But the paper has now done damage to Syracuse, impossible to estimate, by saying a death had occurred here as a result of spinal meningitis. We are all more than thankful that such disease has not broken out here, and earnestly hope it never will. We also hope people will not avoid our town on account of' the imagined plague. Naughty, Naughty, Papa Spank! Right while we are on the subject of wishing correspondents for outside papers would furnish only facts about Syracuse, we’d like to mention this: In two instances within the last few days, we’ve asked people for information about two stories, and received it. Only to have those people later in the day say: ‘‘After I talk-, ed with you this morning, some ofie phoned this afternoon pretending to be. you, asking for just the information that I’d already given you. 1 knew something was wrong somewhere!” When asking for information for our readers, we always announce our own names’ r.nd j-hat of. our Syracuse Journal. We’ve no reason to hide our identity! We are flattered to have people try to fill our shoes. But hope they won’t try to cash checks m our name, say. That would be inconvenient. Mr. and Mrs. Owen.
