The great immigration to America
Is q symptom Of the economic dis
advantages existing in the European
countries from which they come. 1t
would be foolish to think that these
people come 70 this country solely
because they wish to become Ameri-
cans; they are leaving their native
lands in search Of work and opportu-

offer 10 them. The immigrant knows
that what he receives is given to
him in payment for what he pro-
duces, and not unjustifiably, he be
Eeves that he gives more with his
work than others give him in pay
ment. The immigrant who comes to
this country does not know anything
about the spirit and sentiments OF
the American people, neither is he
acquainted with their education and
their ideals. His main aim is te
employ his energy and physical force
so that he may obtain from them
enough remuneration TO take care OF
his immediate needs and TO lay aside
something for comforts to which
everyone is entitled.
