 The immigration Question.
 United States Commissioner Williams in his talk on immigration says it is always most appropriate to the eastern section of the country, since from 5000 to 25,0G0 immigrants arrive every week at New York, and from 800, eco to 1.oo0,OG0 during each wear. at New York alone, three-ff of them re- n,aining in the Nffve states of New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Pennsylv ania. The bulk of these immigrants come from South and Southeastern Europe whereas the early immigration came from the northern countries only. A large DOT ton of this new immigration persists in remaining in the cities and cannot be induced to go to the western and southern states Where agTiculturlstS may be needed. Indeed. a large DOT ton of the immigrants who in in the east are not fitted for life in the west and south and would not be successful if they could be put there. We all want good immigration and none Of us wants bad immigration. What is good and what is bad is not always easy to tell. A great deal of today's immigration is undoubtedly good. This is true even as to that has contributed so much toward the development oof our industries, but there is no sense closing your eyes to the fact that certain proportion of it is not responsive to the legitimate demands here for additional Ia bor, and that in New York state at least q am not familiar with the conditions in ConnecticuD much of it goes where it Is not really wanted.
 1 have not come to ta llS to you on the social or industrial effects of i'm migration, but to tell you something about your immigration laws You must know what these accomplish when properly enforced before you can determine whether or not the country needs further legislation. When properly enforced these laws result in keeping out what may be terIhed the scum and rifraff of Europe. which oth- erWise would come here. That they ac- complish even this much is a matter of great importance. It goes without saying that they could not be less se- were without exposing the country tc positive danger.
