ALASKA TIN PRODUCTION
Tin is one of the few highly useful
metals that are practically not pro
duced in the United States proper.
The output of tin from domestic ore
in 1918 was only 68 tons, nearly all of
it obtained from placers in Alaska.
The tin imported in 1918, as metal
and in concentrates, amounted to 82,
854 short tons, the largest quantity yet
brought into the country in any one
year.
Deposits of tin ore are found in Cali
fornia, Virginia, North Caroline, South
Carolina, South Dakota, Washington,
Nevada and New Mexico, but the ore
at some of them contains so little tin
that it can not be mined with profit.
Tin concentrate from Bolivia was
handled at four tin-smelting plants in
this country, which produced from it
over 10,000 tons of metallic tin.
A report on tin in 1918 by Adolph
Knopf has just been published by the
United States Geological Survey, de
partment of the interior, as a chapter
-of Mineral Resources for 1918, and
can be obtained free of charge on ap
plication to the director of the Survey
at Washington.

A NEW IMMIGRATION BILL
Representative Johnson of Washing
ton state, chairman of the house com
mittee on immigration, has introduced
an immigration bill the most salient
detail of which is a prohibition for
two years of immigration, except that
of certain classes of aliens, mostly
educated men and women, who are
to be permitted to stay in the country
for six months. Mr. Johnson has the
opinions or prejudices of his region
in regard to Japanese immigration. His
plan of complete prohibition, with only
limited exceptions, is avowedly aimed
at the Japanese. He thinks he sees
Japanese coolies swarming over here
in great numbers. He thinks he knows
that the Root-Takahira agreement is
violated. If it is violated, it is for
the state department to call Japan’s
attention to the fact. It is not the
business of the house, of congress, and
an immigration bill admittedly found
ed on a preconception, a prejudice
or a hostility, and directed at the im
migration from a single country, while
ostensibly pointed at immigration
from all countries, rests on a false
basis and must be scanned very nar
row! v.
Incidentally an almost total prohibi
tion for two years would seriously in
terfere with labor supply. Immigra
tion practically ceased during the war.
Large numbers of aliens have re
turned, large nfimbers of them are
seeking to return, to their former coun
tries. The public is not likely to wel
come with enthusiasm any further
* means, no matter how disguised, of
squeezing itself.
There was a time when the sedi
tious language and acts of too many
aliens, and the divided loyalty of too
many citizens of foreign birth, might
have made the American people ready
to shut their doors absolutely, at least
for a time, against immigration.
But a soberer feeling now prevails.
We know that there are still many
aliens here who ought to be deported.
We know that a wise selection and di
rection of immigration is a necessity;
but we know also that immigration
properly regulated is not undesirable.
Mr. Johnson's bill continues the ex
ception of skilled labor contained in
the immigration act of 1917; but that
is rather tenuous. It provides that
otherwise admissible skilled labor
“may be imported if labor of like kind
unemployed can not be found in this
country,” but the secretary of labor is
to decide as to whether the additional
labor is necessary in any particular
case.
So far as it insists that aliens who
intend to become permanent residents
shall declare their intention to become
0
citizens and shall become citizens, Mr.
Johnson’s bill is commendable. We
want immigrants who are to remain
here grounded in our language and in
our form of government, made capa
ble of becoming a worthy addition to
*
our citizenship. The trouble with his
project is that he- is not dealing witn
immigration impartially. An honest
general immigration bill must proceed
from broader and more general views,
•
and it must not make unnecessary
restrictions that might keep away
many desirable visitors and immi
grants for the sake of gratifying a
state of mind that is geographical, not
national.—New York Times.
