speaking, the proposed new immigra-
ton law would prevent any aliens /
from entering the United States for !

Is Europe Sending
Undesirable Emigrants? /
why is this Uncle Harry? A little !
while ago / remember reading that |
people We're complaining because the |
War had stopped all immigration into |
our country: now IL seems. Congress
is planning 10 pass law to prevent
immigration FOR a year or some such
period. Can you explain this puzzle
10 us?' asked Joe.
1T does seem like a very contrary
situation replied Uncle Harry, "and
] guess good many people are puz-
zltd. But the explanation is not hard
TO find According TO the reports from
Washington an altogether new con
ditiOn has developed in the immigra-
ton problem. From 1914 up to the
end OF last year, as / explained. there
was practically no immigration into
our country from Europe. Since Jan
uary T. and especially since July 4, The
number OF immigrants reaching our
shores has been increasing steadily,
and according TO the statements Of
the Congressman who have been urg-
ing the passage OF the new immigra-
ton law, the class Of aliens seeking
admission TO our country has been Of
very undesirable character In fact
a number OF Congressman claim that
they have learned that several Of the
governments OF Europe are doing
everything in their power TO encOur-
age their most undesirable citizens
io emigrate TO the United States. In
other words, 10 has been alleged that
these European countries are trying
10 dump their least desirable citizens
on our country.
AnOtehr After-the-War Condition.
AS have told you I'm several Of our
talks. most OF the European govern
ments have been having very DIM
cult time standing on their own feet,
so 90 speak, ever since the War ended.
Many OF their people are dissatisfied
with the results Of The Peace Confer
ence, and as YOU know from readins
the paper, there has been no end Of
strikes, revolutions. and various other
disorders In Europe We know ton
that there is a great scarcity OF food
in most European countries. Now n
the European countries are really try
ing 10 drive those OF their citizens
whom they regard as undesirables
across the Atlantic ocean and into the
United states, that is a serious situa
ton and such immigration should be
I stopped.
so far as I have been able 10 find
out there is no desire 20 stop immi-
grafton for any long period. The plan
is merely 90 suspend immigration
/ tempOrarily-say for one or two years,
until The situation in Europe clears
up. The whole question is being i'm
Vostigated by Congress and doubtless
we will get considerably more ilfor-
nation on the subject during the next
/ few weeks"

Uncle Harry Talks About The
Proposed NelO Immigration LalO

Didn't you tell us a shor' time ago
that since the Great War started there
had been almost no immigration OF
people into this country from Eu-

Yes, ! believe we did talk about
this subject" replied Uncle Harry.
But I think / explained That during
The War there was practically no i'm
migration and that for a year or 80
after the Armistice was signed the
number OF people leaving the United
states just about balanced the num-
her Of immigrants. Since The begin

immigrants has been steadily incras-

But since Congress convened a bill
