Square Pegs and Round Holes.

Long ago SOMEBODY 0lSCOVeIeO tudI
it is not desirable to try to 1T square
pegs into round holes. It Is much
more efficient and painless to try to
1T squage pegs into square holes and
to select round ones for the round
holes. All Of which has direct
bearing on our immigration problem.
Frightened by the revelations Of
the war. some Of our would-be
guardians have been advocating pro-
hibition Of all immigration for a
period Of years. This course would
be as silly as the permission Of I'M
restricted immigration, and might
prove nearly as dangerous. Let
Europeans come II they wish to be-
come Americans and II they are will
ing to agree to certain conditions
that we are entitled to impose. We
can afford to give them a chance
among US but we must not let them
overrun US.
Ole Hanson's solution which would
make immigration a supervised. reg
ulated. international matter. appears
to have the merit Of simplicity and
be easy to apply. II man who
wishes to come here Is not willing to
agree to become a citizen and to
abide by our laws and customs. it is
better to know it before he comes
than after. Il he intends to stay for
a few years until he has made money
enough to retire on when he gets
back to Europe, he should have
different treatment than the man
who plans to do his best for his
adopted country.
One great failure Of our immigra-
ton has been the lack Of assimila.
ton. This has been due in turn to
improper distribution. Those who
have come have tended more and
more to stay in the cities and CLOG
them with aimless and discontended
wanderers In a strange land. They
are insists, square pegs trying to
knock of their corners to dt the
round holes. and getting hurt both in
mind and body in the process. Mr..
Hanson would have all who wish to
come looked UP and classified before
they leave home: he would have a
selective immigration like the selec-
tive draft Of wartime. The mans
record. would be attested by the
United States authorities in his
country and would be fled with the
immigration bureau here. On his
arrival he would be made to at as
nearly as might be into the same
kind Of industrial environment that
he had left. II he were a farmer he
would by preference be sent to a
farming district: II he were a coal
miner he would so to the mining
field: cotton spinners and weavers
would 60 to the textile cities: shoe
factory workers would seek their
level industrially and so on. There
need be no feeling Of interference
with ones personal choice. it being
assumed that man is best fitted to
do what he knows how to do. in one
country as in another.
Such a system would guide the
stranger who cannot be expected to
know just what he wants the min
ute he steps OF the gang plank at
the dock. His record would serve as
his letter Of introduction and we
native Americans would get &C.
quainted with our new neighbors and
prospective citizens II we were
charged with the ONCE OF locating
them when they come to US. I'm
