INCOMING HOSTS.

Secretary Metcalfs report recalls attention to
the constantly increasing food Of immigration
90 this country, and TO its sources. II is an
Impressive and thought suggesting record that
more than 100000 immigrants entered this
country in the last fiscal wear, or more than
10000 more than in the preceding year. The
next fiscal year now nearly half elapsed, NAV
very likely show a similar increase over the
last and so An addition of 100000
aliens TO a population Of s0000O0O is note
worthy. 1t amounts 10 as much as The natu-
ral Increase of population 10y births IN a nor
mally prolific country. It probably means that
half Of the yearly increase Of American popu-
tation consists Of aliens. But the birth rate is
practically stationary while the immigration
rate is Increasing, so that in few years we
may see immigration responsible for the ma ior
part Of the increase of population
Now, If so considerable a flood of imniera-
hon were distributed. both in source and in
destination, in the most even aud uniform man
ner possible it would still have perceptible
effect upon this country The addition OF l-3
per cent or more Of foreigners 10 our popula-
ton every Year would be noticeable though
under an equitable system Of distribution il
might easily be aSsimilated 10y the social in.
oustrial and political body without distress.
Moreover. If the incoming food came in anv-
thing Ike equitable proportions from the VA
yious lands Of Europe there would nowhere
here be given TO an American community a
distinctively foreign air. We cannot doubt thar
such a distribution would be for the good
OF this country and also for the good of the
immigrants, who would become not merely
naturalized but Americanized and assimilated
much more rapidly and thoroughly than they
now are.
Unfortunately, such is not the case Nearly
20 per cent Of the immigrants come from
three countries, and most Of them settle in
This country in great masses IN and near a
few large cities where they form allen COM
munihes which remain alien much longer than

but The process will take much longer and be
more difficult than IL the Immigrant families
were more scattered apd were mingled among
native American families We can readily un-
ders"nnd why so many immigrants prefer thus
New-York tribune., 1906-12-10

TO settle among masses of their compatrots,
and the reasons are of such n kind that it is
particularly hard to overcome them. Neverthe-
less. It ought 10 be possible TO show them that
it would be to their own advantage TO seat
ter more widely. and certainly our own self
interest should move Americans to discourage
the formation Of such alien communities and
TO encourage and facilitate, so far as possible,
the uniform mingling of immigrants with the
whole mass Of the nation.
II would be more difficult to regulate the pro-
portion of departures from sources of emigra-
tion hut 70 certain extent even that might
he done. We cannot of course. compel people
TO come in greater numbers from lands which
are now sending only a few. But it would be
possible without offence 10 lessen the num-
bers from those countries which are now pour
ing in so great a food. The proposal has been
made that this country should refuse TO admit
more than a certain fixed number OF immi-
grants from any one foreign country in a year
Had such a law been in force last year, with
the limit placed at 100000 from any one coun-
try we should have received only about 650,000,
or 100000 fewer than we did, and the decrease
would have been entirely in the immigration
from the three countries already referred to,
the countries which send us the least desirable
of all and those who most of all are inclined
to settle and remain in undigested masses in
the American body polite. Indeed, If the limit
had been set as low as $4,000, there would have
been no restriction of immigration from any
land save those three. 1t may be that some
more judIcious plan can be devised But 1t GER
tainIy seems that in some way there should
be better regulation, restriction and refinement
of the great food of immigration which is now
pouring into America.
