 PHILADELPHIA May 7-Let the
 government ascertain what immigra-
 ton America will need to work the
 country's mills and shops and mines
 when the great industrial revival
 starts at the close Of the close of the European War, and having ascer-
 tained the countrys needs, restrict
 immigration to tit them-such was the
 plan outlined today before the Amer
 ican Academy of Political Social Sci
 ence by Dr. Frank Warns, expert on 1 foreign-born population for the last i United States census, author and au-
 thority on immigration.
 Dr. Warns plan provides for the
 creation. by federal legislation. of the
 governmental machinery necessary to
 make a measurement of American i'm
 migration needs for the revival of i'm
 dustriausm, which, he said "is just
 around the corner" The body board created by the federal government
 should cooperate with now existing
 State and private employment bu-
 reaus. And the needed immigrants
 should be employed at standard Amer
 ican wages
 The demand being thus ascer-
 tained," Dr. Warns said the supply
 can be regulated to this measurement
 through already existing administra-
 tice machinery In this way, the pres
 ent haphazard system which invari-
 ably operates to produce an over-sup-
 ply of this labor in all our industrial
 centers can be co-ordinated and made
 to work for our common good instead
 fas now. to our social injury.
 Already we have the nuclus around which this machinery can be built l This is the Division of Information of the Bureau of Immigration of the De partment of Labor In addition to its reorganization along the lines indicat- ed. it should be given supervision over . all private employment agencies and
 so-called labor exchanges engaged in , interstate commerce"
