Our 11,OOO,O ,OOO Unnaturalized Aliens.
New York World


 The American people have too long deluded them selves with faterng phrases about the United States being the great meltingpot in which all nationali- ties as though by magic, underwent rapid process of fusion and became converted into citizens of standard type. To the general dismay it has been discovered that of its accord the metngpot does not melt.
 The statement of Raymond F. Crisp, Deputy Con- missioner of Naturalization that one-tenth of the population of the United States is composed unnaturazed aliens tells only part of the story Of the millions of aliens ho have gone through the legal forms of naturalization very large proportion have not in any sense been Amercanzed, and, though citizens, they still alien in habits of thought, in munity
 Up to the beginning of the an average of 1OOO- 900 immigrants year arrived in the United States In the natural order of things those of foreign speech who predominated, tended and more to group themselves in compact bodies which were virtually impervious to American ways of thinking. They changed their place of residence merely without be- ing brought into active contact with conditions would make them over into true Americans.

 To penetrate these barriers and open new ave- nues of communication with the people live with in them is no longer task to be performed by indi- vidual effort.

It cannot longer be neglected without serious harm to the life and welfare of the Nation

Peace is here pow and the Territory must heal the hurting. Develop ment and business and general improvement ios' 'e encouraged. More men must be put to Worh' anu people must be encouraged to put them to work This means that there is time now for the gratn- waste on those with grouches who may desire to pun ish somebody for fancied grievances. Time is too precious for that.
 There are those in Alaska, elsewhere, who are devoted to "the game of personal politics They would no doubt have this Legislature make failure of the session. devote its time to quarrelling ana wrangng to factional and sectional bickering who would like to have it put someone in hoe' to dscredt record of this person or that just TOT the political effect it would have These people have plenty of time devote to spinning yarns ana saying honied words They have advantage. as lobbyists because the who do things are too busy, doing to meet them their own ground
