connection with the bill, stress is LAID

The Problem of Emigration.
A controversy is again going on at
the present moment in the columns of
NAvanti," regarding the problem of
Italian emigration. The Italian COM
rades have not yet taken up a deci-
sive attitude in regard to this ques-
ton which is of vital character as
far as the Italian proletariat is con,
cerned. ITO stay or not to stay?"
that is the great question which is
being asked again and again and
which at present forms the heading
iof lengthy articles on the problem.
There are two distinct points of view.
The one is expressed in the following
sentences by A. Torment: I'VE ought
ito say to our countrymen: Go, go
there where you are required, where
the unavoidable revolution, transform
ing the industrial world, makes itself
felt. Go there ye emigrants and be
men. Do not run all over the world
in order to collect savings penny by
penny at the cost Of your human dig
nifty. savings which spent in your ma
tive country will rejoice the heart Of
the middle class. Try and live
as co-citizens where ever you happen
to settle. Behave as patriots in the
country of your adoption i. e. aim for
the highest in all countries and try to
achieve it. Be brothers, especially to
the proletarians who like you have
been driven out of their country by
capitalism" In a similar manner he
continues to praise the International
Ising Of the proletariat in the large
emigration towns and countries.
There are other voices, however. be-
sides the one of Torment and well
