The Tide Of immigration Turns.

Tho Tide OF immigration Turns.
Not the least Of the problems Of
the immediate future is that of
emigration. From all over the coun-
try aliens are returning to Europe as
fast a. they can secure transporta-
ton. There are now on file at the
New York office Of the Customs In
telligence Bureau $1,000 applications
for passage from foreign born who
are seeking to leave our shores.
Figures compiled by the Department
Of Labor show that over 60 per cent
Of the Rumanians and more than
one-third Of all the Serbs, Russians
and Slovalks in America have declared
their intention Of going home.
Frederic c. Howe, commissioner Of
immigration Of the port Of New York
says:
MY opinion 10 that the exodus will
run into millions, and may In the
next fvo years riso as high a. from
100000 TO 100000 depending on
economic conditions in this country
and economic conditions abroad"
Tho reasons for the turn in the
,dde are many and varied. Mr.. Howe
believes that one Of tho most potent
urges IL the natural desire to see
friends and relatives with whom 1t
has not been possible to communi-
cate for I'VE years. Probably there
10 not an alien in this country who
has not suffered anxiety over the
fate Of relatives in the war-ridden
countries. We often forget that
Europeans ore human as We are and
are actuatcd by the same hopes and
feays and get lonely and even home

SICK ao We would II we were un.
avoidably kept away from home ave
years.
Many are going in the hope Of
raising their social status. They
have worked here and saved some
money. they have learned more or
less Of the ways Of the country, bu:
stu they are looked upon here as
foreigners. variously designated as
"wops." "guineas." "dagoes.' "shean-
les, and "square-heads." They don't
like It and they see scant hope Of
rising above their nativity. In the
new states just being born abroad
they see chances to make use of
their western education and at the
same time render patriotic service.
Others who left home because Of
political oppression wish to return as
they think they can now live in
peace and be happy. High cost of
living is the reason given in some
cases. but the returning alien will
find 1t following him wherever he
goes. Prohibition sends some who
think they cannot live without beer
and wines.
Emigration at present Is confined
to southern Europe as transporta-
ton facilities are not yet available to
northern Europe. The Italians.
Greeks, Serbs, Croats, Slovenes, Ru-
manians. Austro- o-Hungarians and
Russians who are going are among
the least desirable of our foreign
population, and as citizens we do not
take their loss to heart. but they are
taking comparatively large sums of
money out Of the country with them.
Commissioner Howe states that in
dividual savings run from $1,000 to
$4,000, or an average of $4,000.
Multiply this by the estimated exodus
Of three or five million persons and
the result is the appalling figure,
$4,000, 100000 or $4,000, 100000 which
is too big to conceive, but which
America would lose if the estimates
are true.
. Fully as great as the money ques-
ton is the dearth of unskilled labor
which must be met somehow. Stu
dents Of labor agree that all the
present unemployed labor will be alb
sorbed by reconstruction work and
the emigration of numbers of un-
skilled workers will leave a vacuum
to be filled. The cost Of unskilled
labor has already risen to 81 per day
and will very likely go higher, thus
increasing still further the cost Of
living. Americans have risen above
much Of the heavy. rough work that
somebody has to do. and il they
won't do 1t and the aliens are not on
nand to do it. who will? The times
are out Of joint when a day laborer
VINO has not had a grammer school
education can command a higher
rate Of pay than hundreds Of COLLAGE
graduates. II this thing is allowed
to take its natural course it will be
but a very short time before higher
education will be regarded as either
a useless and extragavant luxury or
as an inefficient nuisance. There is
more than one side to the labor
problem.
