The Dangers
of immigration.

Boston, Dec. 1.-The salient features of
the work OF the North American Civic
League for immigrants We're described
tonight by several members at the first
public dinner of the organization and
the National immigration Commission
were touched upon by Senator William
L. Dillingham; of Vermont. The MEM
bers were warned of impending danger to
the nation and President ID. Chauncey
Brewer OF the league said that to keep
the republic from being blotted out and
Europanized, to prevent the new men,
bers from being subjected to reonage,
they should have the sympathy of the
people of this country and should be
treated as human beings and with equal
ity.
LuciuS futile of the board of managers
presided and after reading a letter Of
regret from Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
OF Senator Dillingham; and the imlnisra-
ton commission, introduced Acting Gov
ernor Louis a. rockingham

Southern Italians to construction work,

II decided inclination to have their chill
dren educated as far as the public
schools can do so, and the foreign-born
children stay in those schools longer
than those born in this country.
Senator Dillingham; also spoke on the
amount of money which new citizens
send back to their native lands and
which in 1907 amounted to Sal 100000. or
that amount, he said $550OO,O0O went to
Austria. $52,0OO,O00 to Italy and Sl5,OO0,0O0
to Russia. He said that one of the prob
lens which the Civic League for 1mmi
grants should endeavor to solve is that
of keeping this money in this country.
He pointed out that nearly all the new
Corners are of a voting age and are rap
idly acquiring citizenship. AT the pres
ent rate of immigration there will be 30
100000 newcomers to the country in the
next so years. majority of whom will
be young men. Nearly all these immi-
grants are surrounded by a low type of
citizenship in this country and the gem
eral tendency is dangerous.
THE only method of meeting it is by
a national patriotic movement. by look
ing the situation in the face, by protect
ing the people upon their arrival and by
following them up that they are properly
