Dollar Aliens
No Aid To America

Chicago, Sept. 15.-In commenting
on government statistics which show
the large number of immigrants who
refused to become naturalized in
times Of peace and who return to
European countries in times of war,
the Tribune of this city says:
"The figures themselves represent
the net results of an Immigration
policy in which America poses as a
political haven for the down trodden
European. The huge emigration fig.
ures would go to show, however, that
the modern European comes to Amer.
lea for the money there is in it rather
than any deep hatred of his particular
government. In times of peace the
higher wages are attractive, but a war
reveals his heart interest. The Ameri.
can possibly has no right to quarrel
with such a state of affairs, but he
should protect himself accordingly
from the type that has no enthusiasm
for his political understanding. Other.
wise he will continue to expose his
democratic habit of living to system
that lessons individual interest and
intelligence. The results are reflected
most painfully in the labor field. The
gang labor is either totally unable
to become Americanized or if Ameri.
'caIized In the matter of wage ideas
expresses itself in blood letting. The
Rockefellers held wages and living
standards down by importing ignorant
foreigners and promptly deporting
them and importing others when i'm.
provements were demanded in the Col
orado fields. The trouble in Houghton,
Mich, and in West Virginia was much
the same.
'The sooner Americans recognize
that an immigrant that comes over to
America because there is money in it
is dangerous to American political
institutions, and foreigners accept the
fact that the America of 1915 is no
longer the land of boundless opportu
nifty, both will be better off. Possibly
the nteracy test, which has been We.
toed. is not the best means of closing
the doors to undesirable immigration,
but it does not lessen the need OF
restrictive legislation. The present
lull affords an excellent opportunity
for further study"

WAGE REDUCTIONS OPPOSED:

affairs of reducing workers wages.
This city has a commission form OF
