One million foreigners are COM
ing to America every year. Com
missioner General Of immigration
Caminettf says in his annual report
on immigration statistics. While
many Of these Immigrants. are of a
high type many others are a drain
on the country and Camjnett in
directly recommends that restric-
tive measures ought to be taken to
prevent the smuggling in Of unde-
sirables.
In the last few years immense
hordes Qf Immigrants have come to
free America from Russia. Manysof
them ares ignorant but for the most
part they are seeking freedom from
oppression. When caught by the
right tide and taught how to be good
Americans these fdrefgners from
Russia deyelop into patriotic and IN
dustrious citizens. They appreciate
the advantages Of American liberty.
and are not slow to ring the praises
OF the land Of their adoption. 2.
On the other hand people from
the same centers. of Russia come
here and become anarchists. While
expecting freedom in America they
are turned down. They find hard
ships surrounding them they had
not heard Of in Russia. They
thought that by coming to the land
OF the free they would have liberty.
Much of theirs idea of liberty is
license and when they are restricted
here they become pronounced an
archists. They misc odstrue lack of
interference by the police as. lack of
ability. and they construe interfer-
ence as Something similar to the
Cars system Of oppression. They
are a dangerous sort of immigrants
and must be controlled.
Another one of our large sources
Of immigration is Italy. Many OF
the Italians come here and add
greatly to our art studios>and to- our
music halls. The Italians are won
derfully musical. In America there
4 are many Italians selling bananas
whose musical ability Is far superior
TO many of the highly trained Amer
lean singers. Italy produced Ruff
TO and Caruso. 1t also produced
the Camorra. We want the Ruffos
but do not want the black handlers.
There Is the trouble. Every
country in the world Is willing to
get rid of undesirables while every
country is anxious to keep the best
citizens. The United States has
many native born rascals and many
native born men Of merit.
1t is recognized fact, however.
that the type OF immigrants coming
to America in recent years is not Of.
az high q type as the founders Of
the country. The founders OF
America were men coming here for
the most part seeking religious free
dom and freedom from debt and po-
litical Oppression. They endured
great hardships coming here and
had to be resourceful to live at all.
The Pilgrim fathers landed ON the
bleak New England shore in De-
cember. Before winter was over
half the colony had died. : The ter
rors OF that New England shore did
not attract moral weddings and
parasites OF society. The Chinese
laun9rymen could hardly have made
q living there. The low intellec-
tual types we get from India could
not have survived there because
they do not have the Responsibilities
to make living from the frozen
ground.
It must be remembered there are
many high types OF Chinese and
Hindoos in their own countries and
many high types come to this coun-
try. but the greater number Of Ash
atics coming here are Of the dregs
OF their own nation. They have
benin ignorance so many centuries
they make a load on. this country
wnen they come here.
aUAASITY AND EXPEDIENCY
pIFEER AS 10 IMMIGRANTS.
Humanity says the immigrants
should be admitted from everywhere
when they knock for admission.
\ We can do these Immigrants GOOD.
But expediency says they SHOULD stay
cut because they are Of lower
