lmml9ratiOn.

New Orleans Times-Pic0yane, May 29th.1
European immigrants to the number
of nearly ten thousand arrived at Ellis
Island last week. The New York Times
announces that the stream OF immigra-
ton has set In so strongly that the Ellis
Island staff will have to be enlarged.
Ever since 1915. when the wars effect
upon immigration began to invite dis
cussiOn. expert opinions have differed
very widely and sharply regarding that
effect. There were learned folk who
predicted an avalanche of newcomers
at the wars close. and folk equally
learned who declared with equal con-
fidence that the shift of population
with the return Of peace would be to
and not from Europe. The latter had
their day OF pride when the rush OF
our foreign-born residents for passports
to their native lands set in. Now, 1t
appears, the prophets of increased I'M
migration may go to their inning.
The Times quotes an immigration
official at Ellis Island as declaring that
the immigrant flood has been held back
thus far only by lack of steerage ac-
commOdat ions-plus the passport res
trictiOns. Of course. He names sixteen
great ships, with combined steerage
capacity Of 10000. which have not
resumed service Some Of them We're
! DESTROYED during the war, others were
converted to war Uses and have not
| been sent back to the passenger-carry-
| ing trade. Considering this very great
loss Of ships, seldom considered by our
| immigration doctrinaires, and consider
ing the further curtailment by the pass
port requirement. the average Of ten
| thousand incoming aliens week must
be taken to mean,' he thinks, " that II
4 the old vessels were here again we
would be swamped with immigrants
/ seeking to put war stricken Europe
behind Them"
4 This suggestion of not very wei
come possibility serves as reminder
that Congress has neglected the re
vision Of our immigration laws, along
| with most OF its other urgent and
important business. Politics and the
pressure of. alien-bOrsn voters may he
at the bottom of the congressional
failure to tackle this job. Whatever
it's cause, the neglect is likely to make
trouble for us IL the predicted inmigra
ton flood materializes. For while We
have plenty Of room for decent immi
grants who seek opportunity to carr
livings and homes for themselves by
honest labor. we are grievously over
stocked with the red-trimmed variety
Of immigrants, who come not to labOl
but to loaf, who wish to raise hade.
instead of foodstuffs. and whose idea
; of liberty Is license to loot. Perhaps
J 1t is waste of time to remind Congress
that 1t has duty to perfOrn-a vita
national interest to protect--in thi
matter Of better immigration laws
But the reminder nevertheless shOult
be duly and emphatically fled, boil
by the American press and BY tn
, American people.
