4 FINE STATEMENT on THE M
MIGRATION QUESTION.

Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer
placed himself on record us being op-
posed to restrictions on emigration
such as were proposed in the senate
by Senator Poindexter. This is very
good news indeed. 1t appears that the
influential and intellectual men in this
country begin to realize that the alien
element is purity responsible for the
progress this country has made dur
ing the lust decade. We have been
marching toward prosperity very rap
idly in spite of emigration or, perhaps.
because of emigration. and the idea
Of restricting emigration to this coun-
try is one of the unpleasant products
of the war. Attorney General Palmer
very plainly tho eloqucntly maintains
that:
We are n hospitablc people. In the
beginning the strip of land along the
Georgia was peopled by courageous,
freedom-lOving men and women who
:. and herd all the real essentials of
life which were denied them across
tile seas. In later times by reason of
the open generosity OF the govern
rient. the almost boundless stretches
of the West We're covered by the
homes of men who became owners of
the soil, cause and effect never
dreamed of in the Old World. where
the land was only for those classes
who had held it THU centuries,
The new land owners thus found
themselves important factors in the
life of the great republic under Il
plan which WIS conscientiously de-
s;gped to make one great homogeneous
people out of pot-ulation gathered
from every corner of the globe and no
regret is anywhere expressed for this
broad and far-sighted policy. But Just
to that degree we have been generously
and unconsciously hospitabie we nat
urally resent the abuse of the hos
pitality.
These are unusual words in unusual

and therefore is an outspokcn foe or

believe. even i'm restless times as these
that the labor troubles. strikes and
other outbreaks of disorder were ar
ranged by the foreign element that
cmigrated to this country. The emil
grant is highly desirous of supporting
himself and his family honestly and
legally without melting to outbrcniiS
of lawlessness and disorder. The latest
strikes in those trades in which the
foreign element is highly represented
were absolutely orderly and showed

ism or r.anythins that is contrary to
