Where They Are Going.
Just how far the industrial situation in the
United States will be benefted by the new ar
rivals may be CLEANED from a table showing the
intended future residence of aliens up to July l.
1t may be safely assumed that they actually go to
the points indicated. The inducement Of high
factory wages has kept the majority of them near
the Atlantic seaboard Thus New York state has
received 10000, Massachusetts 41.594 Connect
cut 1922 and Pennsylvania 27,337 Some of the
middle western states such Ohio, Illinois and
Michigan, have gained large quotas, and in Cali

the Mississippi have been neglected. The trend is

in charge of P. A. Donohue, veteran investiga-

of this bureau tc see to it that the immigrants
know about the opportunities for employment

his kith and kin, and submerge himself in
colony but there is also drift of the native born
American from the rural to the urban commune
ties.
Wallis Anti Segregation Plans
Immigration" said Commissioner Wallis. "has
played a greater part than 1t should in this un-
desirable segregation. This has been largely due
to the fact that the immigrant when he arrives
here often has very little idea of the extent Of
the country, and, of the many opportunities which
are before him. if he will consider them For this
reason we are making clear to immigrants while
thew are on the island that they have the whole
United States before them. We are arranging for
nonular talks in various languages in which the
diversified nature of the country will be explained
There are to be moving picture shows devoted to
views of different states especially those which
have large agricultural regions which need deyel-
opment.
s.Now that this movement is under way and we
have at least skeleton organization to carry it
ont we have received offers of cooperation from
all over the country. We now in touch with
chambers of commerce. with boards of trade, with
en3nlovment committees of the state, SO that we
