angles by H. A, Hull and Mr.. Ciw

piled with jobs before any extra helI
should be brought in. The unsuta

ricultural pursuits was also empha
sized, because they have no ~agreul
tural training, being for the most
part from the cities of southern and
southeastern Europe.
The affirmative approached the sub
ject from an humanitarian point OF
view, arguing that on account OF the
low standard of living prevailing
among the working class in southern
Europe, the bars should be let down
so they could come To this country ia

brotherly love should be extended 10
workers in all parts of the globe. The
