FEARS ASIATIC WAGE BASIS
immigration Restriction League
Replies to DR.. Eliot.

The Immigration Restriction League
from its headquarters in Boston, has Is
sued q statement In answer TO the recent
charge OF Or. Eliot, of Harvard that the
Burnett bill would produce a scarcity oil
labor. 1t reads in part:
"If II were our country's mission TO see
that the vacant lands of the continent are
taken I'D. its soil exhausted and its min
eral resources consumed in the shortest
possible time it might be that the lower
our rate of wages and the more rapid the
immigration from whatever source the
sooner would that mission be fulfilled.
"If on the other hand, our country
best service to the world IS through the
esta blishment Of successful democracy,
then the development OF our human re-
sources is our most important object To
that end higher wages are indispensable
and the restriction OF immigration is not
only good but necessary.
For so long as our labor market IS
connected by sea level canal with the
incxhaustible reservoirs Of population In
Europe and Asia wages here can never
greatly rise above their level in the Old
World. and any approach to true indus
trial democracy must be indefinitely post
poned.
president Eliot has helped TO make the
issue clear. It is immigration restriction
and an American rate of wages versus
free immigration and wages near the
European or Asiatc level
