'A STOUT OPPOSITION TO , SHUTTING PUT ALIENS Witnesses Accurately Informed . , Are to Be Called Before the Committee WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. Government .officials possessing the most accurate -knowledge of European conditions will be called to testify by the senate cora smittee oh immigration before it suh i mits any recommendations for prohibit ing r restricting: ijnmigraton to the Jnited States. Senator Colt, of Rhode ' Island, chairman of the committee, an , nounced tonigrnt that Commissioner I Wallls, of the Ellis Island station, 1 would be heard tomorrow, and other government officials would be heard later. V A dozen opponents of the Johnson Trill, prohibiting immigration for one year, were heard today. All united in a vigorous attack upon it and the other bills covering the subject now pending , . before the committee and denied recent statements by proponents of the John son bill, that a flood of undesirable aliens is about to sweep into the United - States from Europe and that emer gency legislation is vital to the protec tion of the country. ' , Chairman: Colt said the committee would press for information to deter mine whether an emergency actually existed sufficient to warrant the enact-, '.ment Of liws closing American ports to immigration. ' 'Louis Marshall, of New Tork. rep resenting the American Jewish com mittee, vigorously opposed any legisla tion restricting immigration, fn sup . port of his views he named a number of prominent Americans "who sprang from alien ancestry"' and said "many of the boys who carried the flaj through the Argonne were emigrants." "President Wilson's mother was an immigrant." he added. "Charles Evans , Hughes' father and mother were both mmijrrants." Mr. Marshall paid high tribute to the - foreign language newspapers published - in the United States for teaching aliens "the true, blue-blooded principles of Americanism." Declaring Europe was at its lowest : ebb, Mr. Marshall said that as soon -as ' the nations ther recoverfd, they would restrict emigration of their own ac ' cord. He denied that European govern : .ments were seeking to rid themselves if the "dangerous elements of their citizenships" by encouraging them to come to the United States. ASHEVILLE BUILDING j IS BLOCKED BY HIGH COST I Over Million . and Quarter of Construction Being Held Up ( Special to The Star ASHEVILLE, Jan. 4. -Representing proposed construction estimated to be $1,322,000, a group of prominent Ashe ville business and professional men to night at a meeting announced a paralysis of development wWich 'will, not. be cured ujntil1 material and labor have readjusted prices.

Dun's Report Shows More Failures arid Greater Liabili ties Than in 1919 J ;J 3IICH IXTEftEST IS SHOW.V IX STAMP SALE IX BERLIN ITAM V" (JOVERNMKXT PATIXf. ENORMOUS SUMS FOR BREAD ROME. Dec. 15.; (Correspondence of Associated Pres).' The Italian govern ment is facing an almost unsolvable problem in the question of the cost of the nation's bread. During: and since the war the price of bread was kept -down artificially, the government pay ing $1,000,000,000 and even lately -$1.-250,000.000 yearly as the difference be tween the actual cost of the flour. and "he price paid by the consumer. The price of a kilo (2.20 pounds) of ordinary bread used to be equivalent to nine cents, or of a finer quality 11 or 12 cents; now the price for t,he same quality of inferior bread is 21 cents a kljo. and the Italian working classes Utterly refuse to pdy the balance which would increase the cost to them tto 40 cents or even half a dollar i kilo. Italian workingmen are now. paid.! wages which compare favorably with the salaries doled out to officers In the army or heads of government depart ments and do not hesitate to pay enor mous sums for wine, tobacco and luxu ries for their table. A mason, black smith or i-abinot-maker used to consid er himself well paid with less than a dollar a day. Now-they earn $6.50,i $7 and $8 a day, and look forward to hiv ing more In the future. BERLIN, Dec. 16. (Correspondence Associated Prss). Philatelic experts from all parts of the world came to Berlin to attend the great stamp, sale just held here, which it is claimed has a wider - range than any ever before held in Europe. The total number of lots was 5,387 and the value at upset prices exceeded $250,000 nominally; but the rarer speci mens were not priced, and or many there were no standards. During the first day's sale there was a rush for rare Argentine, Brazilian and Bolivian issues. United States issues included the only known cancelled copy of, the "Franklin Carriers," brown orange errorvof 1851, the Livingstone (Alabama) 56 blue.' of 1861, and three blocks of the new U. S. A. 90c a-nd S0c issues, of 1869, wjth flaps inserted. The rem of the American collection was a postal envelope of the Confeder ate States of America bearing on the tiiht hand a 5c stamp in black, on the lt'rt a Confederate seamarji nailing the "Stars and Bars" to the 'mast, and in the center the official postofflco poet's lyrical efforts, as- follows: "On, on to the rescue, the vandals are coming. Go beat them with bayonet and sabre and spear. Drive them back to the desolate land they are leaving. Go, trust in God, you have nothing to fear." NEW YORK, Jan. 4. Commercial failures - throughout the United Stntes during 1920, as made public today by R. G. Dun's accountants, numbered 8. 8S1 with indebtedness of $295,121,805. In 1Q10. the company's records showetli j.45t failures involving liabilities of $113,291,237, making an increas? of fail ures over last year of 2,430.- The com parative increase of commercial insolv encies, the report said, is. relatively much ' smaller than life " expansion of $181,800,000 in liabilities, showihgr the rise in the' tiumber of failures tonave been 37.7 per ceoit. and of indebted ness 160.5 per cent. . The sharp-increase - of business re verses of 1920 was said to be "not un natural" in a period marked by general economic readjustment. "Separated according to occupation, the 1920 insolvency .statement. reveals increases, both nQmerleally and other wise, in manufacturings trading, and other commercial branches as compared with the returns of 1919," the report said. -WThe class designated as 'other com mercial, which embraces defaults that cannot be properly included in either manufacturing or trading, shows 714 reverses for $78,570,987, or a numerical increase of 24.6 per cent, and an ex pansion of 227.3 per cent, in tha in debtedness , over the 573 such, failures for $24,006,5781 in 1919. It thus appears that relatively the most unsatisfactory numerical exhibit is made by the man ufacturing division. ' - ' "Geographical analysis of the past year's statistics, of , failures shows a country-vide trend toward increase in the business mortality. The year's in solvencies are 62.5 per cent, heavier in the middle Atlantic states: 45.4 per cent, greater in the south Atlantic sec tion and 44.8 per cent, jnore numerous in the south central states.
