The statement that the United States have at long last agreed to adopt the common-sense plan of inspreting British wald-be migrants at the ports from which they sail is welcomed by nigra tion authorities in London. It has always been a mystery "why a great bus nas-like nation like America allowed emi- grants to shipped to their shores only to be turned back because of some medical test, or because the quota permitted to land from their country had been ex: hausted.
The perfectly obvious course was to have the examination by the doc tors before the emigrants sailed across the Atlantic, only to be turned back on sotor medical or legal ground that could have been decided equally well before they left bune.
Taz MARKING OF BRITSH GOODS.
I have received a statement issued by the National Union of British Manu- facturers which revives the question of the marking of goods with their place of origin. The union suggests that an Act of Parliament ought to be passed to make
iveral marking compulsory, and that British firms should stamp their names and add the name of the town in which the goods were made. In some respects this is an old story. The proposal has been made before now. It will be recalled that years ago as a result of an agitation of the same kind the legend Made in Ger- many " was introduced, but it proved to be an advertisement rather than a deter-| rent.
