Of uuskilled labor immigration
The present immigration movement.
says the report, "is In large measure due
10 economic causes. but emigration from
Europe IS not now an absolute economic
necessity, and as q rule those who irnmi-
crate TO the United States are impelIed by

bic ones This fact should largely modify
the natural incentive TO treat that Innligra-
ton movement from the standpoint of SEN
timent and permit fits consideration pri-
marily as an economic problem
The commission presents several pro-
Dosals by which restriction of immigration
might be effected, including a reading and
writing test, the exclusion of unmarried
unslzilled laborers. Limitation of the number
