that prevailed during four years OF the
last decade it was a perio,l Of large i'm
migration, the number of immigrants
arriving ON onr. shores exceeding the
number Of persons carried off by the
war. The present decade is one Of
light immigration. and this movement
will not show as conspicuously in the

it is probable tie census OF lS3o. will
not show over 45,G00,O00."
