ALIENS TO LEAVE
That May Happen at End of
Great War.
ALL AVAILABLE LAND GONE.
Commissioner of immigration Howe
Predicts That United States Will Be-
come an Emisrant Rather Than an
Immigrant Nation at the End of Hos
tilities In Europe.

tiities In Europe.
New York. prediction that the
United States would become an "emi-
grant" rather than an Immigrant" ma
tion at the close of the war was made
by Commissioner Of immigration Fred
eric G. Howe at the Sunday evening
forum Of the Free synagogue.
Mr.. Howe took the stand that immi-
grafton was purely an economic ques-
tion and declared that it had been
such from the beginning. He said that
those who opposed immigration did so
because they desired to limit the COM
petition Of unskilled foreign labor ;
those who favored the wide open door
did so because it made labor cheap.
He said the immigrant no longer
went to the farm because all the avail
able land of the country had been tax
en- up, hundreds of millions Of acres
being held for purely speculative pur-
poses.
'The immigration problem never ex-
listed so long as the land was free for
the asking" said Mr.. Howe, "and it Is
this scarceness Of land which makes
immigration an economic question.
at is a matter Of freeing labor on
one hand from the competition of the
incoming labor groups from Europe
and of insuring to the immigrant an
opportunity to work for himself rather
than for an employer interested in Sc
curing his services at the lowest pos
sible cost.
Il keep more or less In touch with
the centers to which go most of the
men who pass through Ellis island. i
am told that everywhere the men now
employed in our shops and factories
who at home worked as farmers are
saving their money to return to the
old country. They have always wished
to own their own farms-they came
here for that purpose-and they figure
that after the war land will be- cheap
in the countries overseas. This senti-
ment, spreading among our workers,
will result In a serious crisis in our
industrial life"
Mr.. Howe also discussed the servant
question. He said that since the war
there had been practically no servant
girls coming to this country and that
many of those who were in service had
left it to enter munition factories and
offices. while others had married or
died.
To regulate the tide Of oriental i'm
migration and, in fact, to check in some
measure immigration from any land
DR.. Sydney L. Gulick, an authority on
Japan, suggested that, for example, if
a thousand Syrians came to this coun-
try I'm 1900 and ten years later all had
taken out American citizenship then
another thousand might be admitted.
If, however, only 800 had applied for
naturalization papers the decision of
the remaining 700 to still be Syrians
automatically would keep an equal
number of their fellow countrymen in
Syria.

The production of Ignite in North
Dakota in 1915, according to the Unit
ed States Geological Survey, amount
ed to 528,078 tons, an increase of 81,
393 tons, or four per cent, as COM
pared with 1914. The output of 1915
was valued at S767,O72. Practically
all the Ignite mined in North Dakota
is used within the state, and nearly
half of it is consumed at the place of
production, not even being loaded on
railroad cars. The increase in popula-
ton is followed by greater use of coal,
and although Ignite, except in the re-
moter districts, is not largely used for
domestic fuel, the industries, such as
brick making, that do use Ignite are
growing, and with their growth the
production of Ignite has increased
steadily. There were $50 men employ
ia in the mining of Ignite in North
Dakota in 1915 for an average of PIG
days, as compared with 558 men for
ZIG days in 1914. The average output
per man per day was four tons and for
the year 1916 tons, as against AZ tons
per day and 908 tons for the year in
1914.
