Keep Calm!

Discussing the immigration queS-
ton, Commissioner Camine.ti said:
"There is hysteria on the subject
Of emigration that so far has little
ground for support. When you con
slider the two classes of emigrants-
those who go for permanent residence
abroad and those who depart for short
periods-the figures for the past year
do not represent greater losses than
the United States has had during the
pre-war times.
"There is no cause for worry to
business or industrial interests by the
departure, for the constant stream of
arrivals makes up for all who depart.
MANY reasons can be given for
those departures.
First and foremost in the list
comes those who, had war not come
in 1914, would have gone in that or
subsequent years. We have always
large number of those people who
come only for few years stay and
then return to their native land. We
even have large number who have
been called birds of passage who
come only for season. Then We
have had a class who are practically
permanent residents, either as busi-
ness men or workers, who every few
years visit their native countries for
business or to see aged parents and
relatives.
These constitute the classes who,
previous to the war, were wont to
depart, and it is reasonable to sup
pose that in the figures given for the
last fiscal year a percentage of each
forms part of the number enumer-
ated.
"For these people the privilege to
go abroad was unattainable during the
European war.
"a considerable proportion of the
number who departed went for the
purpose of learning the conditions of
relatives or of their property inter

San Francisco, Cot.
H<HE birth records of the Bu-
reau of Vital Statistics Of
the California State Board
of Health indicate that the
Japanese population in the state is
increasing at rapid rate. From
1906, when the japanese births were
134, they have increased steadily to
4,2f9 in 1918. While there is no
separate record of the Japanese pop
ulation, the birth record is taken as
absolute evidence that the number of
Japanese families residing in the
state is steadily increasing.
This increase is most notable in
the fruit sections, where the Japan
ese have colonized and are now in
competition with the white fruit
grower. The greatest increase is in
Los Angeles County, where, in 1918,
there were 1929 Japanese births re-
corded. Alameda, Fresno, Sacra-
mento, San Joaquin and Santa
Clara, all extensive fruit counties,
show a large number of japanese
births for 1918, but only in San
Joaquin and Santa Clara is there
any increase over the record of 1917
and in these cases it is only very
slight. In San Francisco, where the
Japanese populatidh is admitted te

That was discontinued on the
7th Of last month, but in spite OF
this the crowds Of aliens anxious TO
avail themselves Of New York rs a
gateway TO their native lands stu
throng the corridors and stand outside
IN an uncertain queue waiting Tor the
doors to open. The reason Is that
though every passport IS no longer ex-
amined there each one leaving tho
country must pay his income tax before
he can have final permission 10 sal.
Failing an income tax receipt re must
call at the Custom House TO have mat
ters settled. Apparently most out
going aliens have forgotten this for
mality, as the revenue men have been
examining an average Of ,50o day
and the number shows no sisns Of
dwindling.
That IS the basis upon which an Of
iicial who has had experience with thc
whole outgoing wave makes the stafe-
ment that the emigrants are harry.ng
out Of the country IN iust as large
numbers as ever.
The July report OF money collected
/ from delinquent taxpayers gives an
interesting sidelight on the wealth pos
sessed by those who are leaving. Dur
ing the month the Revenue Bureau re-
celved from aliens l6.5o0 delinquent
returns, amounting TO S4o8.555. Among
the number Of delinquent taxpayers
were also 297 Americans, who paid
SlS5,S90 IN taxes. In other words.

to periodical visits to their fatherland.
although it is admitted that great num-
bers in this class eventually will re-
turn to the United States.
Those who have been attracted bv
the new forms of governments in their
former homes make up another class Of
considerable dimensions, while the
prospect of remunerative investments
has been another magnet to draw from
United States shores.
The curiosity class is confined to no
one race, but numbers Of various ma
tionalities have sought passage home
to get first hand knowledge of the raw
ages of war.
While data acquired by immigration
officials from departing aliens leave no
doubt that the passage of nationwide
prohibition has Influenced a large
movement home of foreigners, no in
formation has been obtained to JUS
tify any estimate of the numbers seek
ing more liberal personal rights.
The large exodus of Italians, how
ever, was pointed to as one evidence
of the result Of the stoppage of sale
of light wines and other beverages
The return home Of numerous
Greeks, officials maintained, may be at
tributed to the fortunes of war won
by that nation.
The smallest number of any race
which has departed rs two departures
under the nationalities listed as Dal-
matian, Bosnian and Herzegovinian.
That Germany has attracted only
few of her former citizens was said
by immigration officials to be not un-
expected, and the small movement OF
former natives of Scandinavian coun-
tries was characterized as natural, in
asmuch as practically all of the aliens
from those nations when once assimi-
lated here remain as permanent resi-
dents of the United States.
The arrival of aliens is listed by
the Bureau of immigration in two
classes-immigrant aliens, who are
classified as those who come to re-
main permanently in the United
States, and immigrant aliens, who
intend to stay only temporarily. Those
departing are likewise classified
emigrant aliens being those who in
tend to remain permanently abroad.

This increase in the Japanese pop
ulatlon III the state has so alarmed
certain sections that public meetings
have been held to discuss means of
providing against the further en-
croachment of the Orientals. Such
meeting was held recently at New
castle, in Placer County, where it
was found that the Japanese births
were nearly twice the number of
whites in 1918. In 1917 there were
81 Japanese born in Placer County
and l19 whites. In 1917 there were
90 Japanese and 70 whites and in
1918 123 Japanese and 81 whites.

More Come Than Go

During the period from July, 1918. to
June, 1919, the last fiscal year. l4l,l32
immigrant aliens have been admitted
10 the United States. These are char
aeterized by immigration officials as
permanent residents Of the United
States. Non-immigrant aliens-those
who are not classified as permanent
residents, blt who may return to their
home countries eventual ly-numb bering
95S99, were admitted during the last
year, making total of 237,021 foreign
els who have come TO the United
States. Against these arrivals are l23.-
o22 emigrant aliens who departed for
permanent residence abroad and 92,-
l09 who left for temporary absence in
foreign countries, making a total of
216,239. or 2o69O more arrivals than
departures.
While not admitting that the move
ment Of aliens to their former homes
IS much greater than in pre-war times,
immigration officials point out the fol-
lowing causes for these departures:
l. Anxiety of aliens to ascertain
the fate OF their relatives and their
property interests following the
great war.
2. Creation of new governments in
their former homes, with greater
rights TO their citizens.
3. New opportunities brought
about by the war for civilization in
the way Of land grants to settlers Of
property hitherto held by the govern
ment or the nobility.
4 The prospect Of investing to ad-
vantage the savings they accumu-
lated in the United States by rea-
son of their natural frugality and
the inflated wage scale brought
about by war.
5. Natural habit of foreigners to
return periodically to their old
homes.
g. Curiosity of aliens to view the
ravages of war and to note the
changes wrought by the holocaust.
7. Nationwide prohibition in the
United States.
immigration officials point out that
many of the foreign element of the
United States who came from war
stricken Europe have heard nothing
flom their relatives since the outbreak
OF the war, due either to fatalities OF
10 the operation of the censorship. Il
is natural, these officials maintain, thai
aliens are justified in Immediately re.
turning TO their former homes on such
mission, and they declare that s
large percentage of those who sought
passage outward since the restrictions
were lifted are IN this class.
