petuated under the Burlingame treaty.

ground Of real protection to American

Whether the Government know it or
not, the question of alien immigration
Is rapidly approaching crisis. There
are three causes why the consideration
OF The question can no Longer be post
poned. First y the colonization of South
Africa on large scale by men and
women of Anglo Saxon blood is about
to take place at the cost of British tax
payers. To induce healthy Anglo Saxons
to leave England and settle in South
Africa while their places are filed with
impoverished middemen, money lend
ers, pedlars, and tailors from wilma,
Kieh, Cracow, Homsl, Burdichef, and
other odoTiierous Russian and Polish
towns is an unthinkable proposition.
| The people of England will stand great
| deal, but they will not stand that
The second reason why the destitute
alien question must come up Tor consid.
Grafton without further delay is that the
question OF housing in London is insolu
BILE until the immigration Of undesirable
foreigners is stopped. Few people IN
the West End or in the country have |
any idea OF the point which this immi- |
grafton has reached, Canon Barnett |
and bis friends have organized an annual /
exhibition OF pictures in Whitechapel. |
On Saturdays this exhibition is visited

and that more than three fourths Of
them are unable TO speak English.
Whole streets formerly occupied by
struggling and industrious Englishmen,
are now inhabited by a tee ming popula
tion from the Ghettos Of Western Russia.
The third reason why the question Of
destitute alien immigration must be
dealt with is because the feeling in the
East end Of London on the subject is J {
now revolutionary. Let there be no {
mistake OF this point For the last I6
ears have made this question a special

no chance. 1t would be perfectly true
