Secretary of the Treasury Foster has
appointed a commission under an act of
the late Congress to proceed to Europe
and look into the immigration problem.
The following dispatch from Rome, print
ed the other day, shows that it is high
time not only for investigating the prob
lem, but for such action on the part of
our government as will keep out of the
United States most undesirable element
of the old worlds population:
Italian emigrauts to America are re-
turning home in such numbers as to
alarm the government. In view of the
fact that nearly every one of those who
arrive Is entirely destitute, Prime Minister
Rudini las instructed the Italian consus
to persuade their country people who
wish to return home that it would be
better to go elsewhere in America
than to come back in a destitute condi-
ton. as they will find their former places
filled and the labor market frightfully
overstocked.
