THE MELTING POT AGAIN.

The Hammond Chamber of Com
merce lately was asked to send
memorial to congress in which it
goes on record as being opposed to
the further restriction of immigra-
ton to the United States.
The purpose of this action was to
create a larger labor market in the
Calumet region. The movement was
fathered by a number of Hammond
manufacturers who are finding it
very difficult to get enough laborers
to do their work
The opinion was expressed that
the imposition of educational re-
Quirements for admission to the
United States would keep out of this
county the class of immigrants who
are best suited for the kind of work
that requires an excess of Drawn
rather than brain.
The Hammond Chamber of Com
merce, recognizing the importance 81
the question both locally and ma
tionally, refused to go on record in
favor of opening the food gates al

historians will refer to this period o
the development of the United State
as the ERA OF ASSIMILATION.
They will show how this country
through series of colonization pro
jects was finally occupied principal
by the various branches of the Angl
Saxon race; how it grew and pros
pered, built up its republican insti
buttons and finally took on the char
acter and dignity of nation.
Then they will recount the inva

show that the United States, in til

This is a different world today from

This morning? Why, this morning
the world has turned completely over.

Jobs of those who died.
Which gives you a chance

And, then. lot of people have done
what you felt like doing yesterday
thrown up their hands. surrendered.
They are cutters.
There always are cutters. Every
time one of them steps out there Is a
good chance for you to step in.
Yesterday Is ancient history
This is a new day today.
Yesterday you felt discouraged.

with your back to the wall. And
your heart misgave you. You thought

Well, you hadn't!
You were Just merely being slowed

They will show that later the
migrations of foreigners came from
southern Italy, Turkey and Hungary,
bringing millions of small statured
men and women who were not the
intellectual and physical equals OF
those who had proceeded them. They
will point to the invasion of the
United States by the Hungarians,
Poles, Slavs and Russians, people of
better physique but lighter grade of
intelligence.
And in the hundreds of years that
follow this notable invasion, made
possible by cheap travel, will follow
the great amalgamation process by
come fused into a new racial and ma
|tional type; the real American as has
$50 often been declared by THE
TIMES which confesses that racial
melting-pot fusion is one of its
hobbies
Today we are, by our emigration
laws, determining what the future
type of the American shall be. This
can be determined with scientific ac-
curacy now.
Take, for illustration, fifty million
Anglo Saxons of the highest average
TYPE. mix in twenty million Italians
of the lower type, add to this five
million Turks, ten million Hungar-
ians, ten million Poles, twenty mil
lion Russians, a few million people
of mixed races and the composite OF
can.
Take from each of these nations
their principal characteristics and
they will be sure to crop out in tn
composite American Just as the
English, Irish, Norwegian ant
Danish invasions made the American

When the United States was beins
!, invaded by the superior races from
central Europe they were easily as
