The New immigration

Almost before we are aware Of it
perhaps, we may have our attention
as definitely called to our immigra-
ton problem as it was before the war
shut of the stream Of incoming Eu-
ropeans in 1914. Those who have
been wondering how the labor Of the
country was to be done if there were
nobody who would do it may soon see
the thing they have been talking
about come to pass, namely, an influx
Of laborers sufficient to the task. One
well-known New York banker has re-
Gently predicted that within five
years there will be five men to every
job in this country.
The pickup of immigration is of
very recent date, however. During
the fiscal year ending June 80 more
aliens left the United States than en-
tered 1t, according to the figures of
the immigration bureau. AS against
314,46s' who arrived at Ellis island
during that period, 334,254 departed.
The net loss to the country for the
year was thus not Tar from 10000.
For the last four months of the ifs
cal year the story is different. The
figures for this period show that ar
rivals have surpassed departures by
thousands and tens Of thousands. The
tide has definitely turned and all
steamship companies report enor-
nous steerage lists.
1t is already possible to note some
characteristics of this new immigra-
ton. One interesting fact is that
comparatively few of the new-com-
ers remain or wish to remain in the
metropolis. Most of them turn their
faces toward the industrial centers
like Pittsburgh, Detroit and Akron,
or to the mining districts of Pennsyl-
vania and the Lakes. Another noticea-
BILE feature is the preponderance of
women and children. This is ex-
planned by the fact that so many men
were lost in the war that European
countries are making it harder for
those who survived to leave.
Some extra precautions are taken
on this side as we'll to prevent the
entry of undesirable persons. Not
only must aliens pass examinations
as to their physical and moral fitness,
but they must also measure up to a
literacy test and show passports
vised by the American consular al gent
nearest their homes and endorsed by
the American authorities at the port
OF embarkation. These new regula-
ton are designed to keep down the
whole number Of foreign entrants and
to sift out those who have no inten-
ton Of being Of service or benefit to
the United States.
With economic conditions as they
are, and must be for some time in
Europe, 1t is probable that the new
flood Of immigrants will reach a high
mark and from now on, it is also
probable that the amount of emigra-
ton will be negligible in comparison.

Now the Lord of this stately castle
was not a very good man. He not only

them for ransom. SO as soon as he
heard that the son of the famous Puss

himself and said under his breath, "Ha,

But he never said anything like that
to Puss, who entered at that moment.
