Immigration IS Spirit in Art and Why Such
Odd Ideas of II Win Her Prizes

There are many pictures that bear strik-
ing family resemblance, due to the presence
of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the
New York city skyline. The pictures show
the promised land, the dumb gratitude and
inartlculate hope Of the immigrant. That, to
some artists, as to many thoughtless citizens,
is all. According to them. the drama Of It,
the fulhllmept are in the arrival. The view
IL as naive as that Of the immigrant himself.
Only let down the gangplank. Peace. liberty,
opportunity, prosperity viii begin with the
first football on shore and will continue with
out interruption, they think.
Others OF the artists have shown deeper
vision. They all have aspiration. The hope
OF fulhlment is always there, but the vision
Is chastened by struggle.
THE first prize was won by young Italian.
He has shown the soul Of the immigrant in a
sculptured group. He shows a number of ims
migrants at the threshold OF our country. A
