Opening the Floodgates
THE CONGRESS may get tied
into knots after the convention
recess over several important
legislative hassles, including the
question of making radical
changes in our immigration laws.
THE PRESENT law on im
migration, the McCarran-Walter
Act, was the product of 5 years
of intensive study and work by
the Congress. It was approved
in 1952 by a % vote in overrid
ing President Truman’s veto. The
purpose of the law is to permit
reasonable immigration into this
country while providing safe
guards against radical distortion
of the nature of the American
population and political institu
tions.
NO NATION has been more
generous in its immigration poli
cies than has the United States.
We have admitted 43 million im
migrants into this country since
we began keeping tabs on im
migration in 1820. Under the
present law, we admit approxi
mately 300,000 persons into our
country each year. This accounts
for 10% of our annual popula
tion increase. Even more immi
grants are admitted under spe
cial acts of the Congress and by
Executive orders.
NOW FOR THE sake of ra
cial tolerance, “fairness” to over-
populated and poor foreign na
tions, “enlightened” foreign poli
cy, and to offset the expected
white backlash vote among im
migrant groups, the Congress is
being asked to junk our tradi
tional national origins quota
system. This system protects
American interests against be
ing flooded with peoples who are
not akin to the majority of our
population in racial, cultural, and
political heritage.
UNDER THE present system
we allocate quotas to all na
tions, but the quota percentages
are given in direct proportion to
the number of inhabitants in the
United States who in 1920 traced
their origin to a particular
country. Since most of our peo
ple have a European background,
the larger quotas go to Euro
pean peoples who can be more
easily assimilated into our popu
lation.
THE TWO principal immigra
tion bills pending in Congress
are the Hart and the Kennedy-
Johnson bills. They would treble
immigration to approximately 1
million per year. The Kennedy-
Johnson bill would admit immi
grants on a first-come, first-
basis of each country’s popula
tion ratio to world population.
Both bills seek to establish im
migration as an alien right in
stead of a privilege, putting
foreign interests above our own.
Senator Javits of New York has
even referred to the bills as be
ing “civil rights legislation for
the world.”
SOME OF OUR best citizens
in this country are immigrants
who are great advocates of our
free enterprise system. They
want to reunite their families in
America as soon as possible, and
the present law seeks to make
this possible in a reasonable
manner. The new legislation is
expected to appeal to this im
migrant desire to reunite fami
lies, but this political tactic will
prove largely unsuccessful. Most
immigrants here realize that
just as the “civil rights” law
will take away their jobs for
others, the same is true of in
creased boatloads of immigrants.
These Americans of European
stock know that the real pur
pose of these bills is to open
wide the immigration floodgates
for peoples in Africa and Asia,
where poverty and population
expansions are problems.
IF ALL WE hear about un
employment and poverty in the
U.S.A. is correct, then we have
enough problems of our own
without swallowing those of
other nations. Whose jobs are
the additional Asian and Afri
cans going to get—or will they
just be added to the poverty or
welfare rolls, as have thousands
of Puerto Ricans in New York
City?
THE UNITED STATES is the
principal bulwark in the world
standing between the forces of
enslavement bent on their aim
of communizing the world. To
open the immigration floodgates
in America now would not only
weaken us by drastically alter
ing our national racial and cul
tural composition, but, it would
alao threaten on.' economy and
provide an easy approach for
infiltrating and subverting our
national political structure.
AS IN ALL other policy con
siderations, our immigration pol
icies must continue to put the
national interest first. To make
an exception in this case would
be to invite eventual disaster
for all peoples everywhere who°
dream of the American reality
of freedom with prosperity.
Sincerely,
Rev. ROBEFT H. HARPER
LIVING A CENTURY
HE good Book says that “the
days of our years are three
score years and ten, and if they
be four-score years yet is their
strength, labor and sorrow.” But
those were words written about
3000 years ago. The days of our
lives may be more now. Within
my recollection the average of
human life has been greatly

lengthened, and it is not unheard
of when a man or woman lives a
century.
A fellow pastor of mine in the
city of New Orleans, a noble Pres
byterian minister, served nearly
the average of human life in his
adopted city, and when he was in
sight of a century I saw him the
last time and told him I wanted
him to preach for me when he
was a hundred years old. But I
never had the privilege. Yet he
lived to be a hundred.
A few years since I came to
know an old gentleman who was
nearing a century. A year or so
ago, when the black funnel cloud
of a cyclone was approaching his
town a relative caught him up to
go for safety. He said he wanted
his hat, and the relative replied
there was no time to get his hat.
The old man is thin and light and
the relative ran with him in his
arms and jumped with him into a
canal. They escaped the cyclone.

BATTLE OF SEXES DOESN’T
END AT 65, HUSBAND FINDS
A CASE in point came to the
fore this week when a suc
cessful real estate salesman gave
a candid account of how he lost,
and then regained, his domestic
paradise when he retired.
“I coasted in to 65,” he said. “I
had a pretty good job, and when
I turned 60 I began a gradual
program of pulling out of my
career. First the civic things and
luncheon clubs, then the business
associations and journals. Finally
I reached a status-quo point on
the job where I could sit things
out until the pension.
*T was looking forward to go
ing home and taking it easy . . .”
But about five years before he
let his job slide, his relationships
at home had begun to slide. This,
he wasn’t aware of.
The initial stage of it, he thinks,
was when sex had gone to sleep.
It didn’t bother him at the time
because all his energy was going
into the job. Nor did he realize
then that a husband must find
a substitute for it—some new
force to hold the marriage close.
“As my energies went into
business,” he said, “my wife’s
energies went into the ‘topping
out’ of our four children. College,
parties, clothes, examinations,
love affairs, and finally weddings
swirled through our family. Al
ways I was busy; always Mama
was running the show. In that
period I became a kindly fellow
named Pop who loafed around
the house on holidays and Sun
days . . .”
This, he said, was when he
should have been making his
greatest effort to cultivate his
family in preparation for retire
ment.
“But by the time I reached 60
my wife had completely taken
over our children, and was as
jealous of her affairs with them
as a setting hen. She knew we
were expecting our first grand
child six months before she told
me.”
With the children married and
gone, his wife began branching
out into club affairs and politics—
and stayed branched.
“I knew in time that things
had gotten pretty far away from
me,” he explained. “I was cook
ing more of my own breakfasts.”
So the husband enrolled in a
real estate school — an evening
school, on purpose. He told his
wife only the barest details of
what he was doing. He began
visiting real estate offices in the
mornings—she had her meetings
in the afternoons—and again told
her little.
“By the time I got my real
estate license and began to sell,”
he said, “my wife’s star on the
club and political circuit was fad
ing. We were both 67 by now.
A d as her interests waned, and
mine increased, a new warmth
moved into the living room.
Slowly, you understand. But
surely . . .”
He began bringing fresh money
into the house—enough of it to
surrender his Social Security. He
asserted his authority over how
it was to be spent. He spoke just
enough about his new career to
maintain the mystery of it. He
demanded, and got, a full share
in all dealings with the children.
“I don’t cook my breakfasts
anymore,” he smiled. “And at
long last I matter again in my
own home.
“A lot of these busy boys of
55 had better take a leaf from
my book.”

They parted my raiment among them.
And for my vesture they did cast lots.
—Psalms 22:18
In fulfillment of prophecy, the
soldiers cast lots for Jesus’ gar

Yet, the greater prophecy was
yet to be fulfilled. It was to come
about when a few faithful came
to the tomb and were told that
Jesus was nc longer there, but
had risen.
Herein lies the basic hope for
all mankind, the chance for
eternal salvation. God sent forth
a great blessing. Through the
life and death of Jesus Christ,
we can find the greatest example
