President Wilson has again done
the proper thing in yetoing the immi-
grafton bill which included the liter
airy test and which would exclude all
aliens who cannot read and write.
While there are some aliens wao
ought to be excluded from this com
try there is no reason to believe that
the literary test would do any parti-
cular good The most dangerous i'm
migrants to this country are general
ly able to read and write. What we
need more is a proper distribution OF
the aliens after they come to prevent
their settling in segregated alien
communities in large cities where
they maintain foreign conditions and
fail to appreciate the changed condi
tions under which they live here
Aliens who scatter themselves IL
American communities rapidly take
IN Americans ideas and adopt Ameri
can standards of living.
