Now the quite natural thing is that the

1910 Italy may send to US this year $4,000
immigrants. During the five years that pre-
ceded the war she sent each year an average
of 100000. Russia may send "a 900 this
year and she used to send 210, 900 each
twelvemonth. This year 5000 Poles may
come over where we used to get $50, 900.
We may accept but 1886 Greeks where we
used to get 26,OO0 a year. We will this
year let in but 653 Turks where we used
to let in 10000 a year.
0DUT in West Europe the results will be
- quite different. Those countries have
many sons and daughters in the United
States, but the numbers were built UP be-
fore the competition of the Latins and Slavs
began. When these latter immigrants be-
gan swarming into the industries Of America
they came to be no longer attractive to
Scandinayians, Welshmen, Irishmen and
Germans. The aumbers Of those immigrants
became small compared with the earlier
foods
80 it is shown by the figures that where
the United Kingdom used to send 50 900
people a year she may still send 1900.
Where France used to send 5000 she may,
under the new law, send SOOO Norway may
send 1900 where she used to send IL 900;
Sweden may send 19, 900 instead of II 900 !;
Denmark, 5000 instead of 5000. These
Scandinavian countries are entitled to send
more people than they have been sending.
Germany has the best emigrant situation Of
them all from the standpoint of being ad-
mitted into America, for she is entitled to
quota of $4,000 as against half that num-
Der that have been coming.
1T Is held that with the South and East
Europeans removed as competitors for i'm
migrant jobs, the numbers from West Europe
will increase. So will we draw on the old
stock which laid the foundation for the
American race and 50 will we check the
drift away from it.
'"The fundamental stock of the people in
the United States is Western and Northern
Europe. The new law will not Interfere
with additions to that stock. 1t will, how
ever, cut very deeply into the Introduction
Of the blood of Southern and Eastern
Europe, which blood is of quite different
strains from those that flowed to the United
States during its formative growth. That
principle Of permitting additions of the old
stock and restricting additions of other
strains is the big new principle which under
lies the developing theory of immigration
control" .-
What have been the principles"
asked, that have in the past affected the
admission of foreign peoples?'
'Immfgration,' said the commissioner,
has been as given to fads as is woman's
dress. Since we began to study the peoples
who were coming to our shores, first one
and then another comparatively unimportant
idea has dominated the situation. Seventy
hve years ago we were much agitated over
the religion Of, the people who were coming.

that the great flow of immigration into the
United States during the last twenty years il
due almost entirely to one thing-the steam
ship agent. 1t has been beyond the power Of
the United States to control the operation OF
steamship agents in foreign countries. /
studied this question in great detail through
out Europe. 1 found, for example, that in
Russia the steamship agent was everywhere
present. At a village fair in Russia, for
example, 1t always happened that some one
had received a letter from a relative who
had gone to America and that individual
was much given to reading this letter aloud
to one group after another of his srnnaint-
ances. Always in that group there would
be found a representative Of the steamship
company. After the glories of America had
been expounded he. would show how Utopia
might be reached. Late in the afternoon
you would always find him at his Office sur
rounded by an ardent group of young Rus
SLAMS, for some of whom he was arranging
transportation.
''This sort of solicitation was against
the law in Russia, but it nevertheless went
on. Italy did not object to it because Italy
required that many of her people go abroad,
she being unable to support her increasing
population at home. Bulraria, on the con-
trary, was anxious to prevent emigration and
took quite effective steps to that end. Her
citizens were not prohibited from coming
to the United States, but steamship tickets,
she ruled, could be bought from but one
individual in all Bulgaria, an official with
headquarters at Sofia.
1.-THE flood of immigration to the United
States has been artiicially induced. Under
the new law it will be impossible for the
steamship agents to operate in this way ad-
vantageously and there will be a constant
tendency for immigration to return to the
normal flow Of those individuals who, for
themselves, determine to enter upon the
great adventure"

Later, we were disturbed over the effect OF
these newcomers upon the supply of labor.
There was the claim on one side that their
admission lowered the standard of living Of
the American worker, and on the other
hand that the vital thing for the Nation
was an abundance Of labor that it might de-
velop-into industrial greatness.
"At a still later time the country was
much disturbed over the members of Grim
inal classes that were coming from abroad,
and the Black Hand became one of the
alleged national menaces. Since the war,
the coming of Europeans who were thought
to plan the disintegration of established So
ciety has been the phase of the question
which has lent itself most readily to SEN
sational consideration.
Now at last we have come to consider
and have written into law the fundamental
theory that the important thing from the
standpoint of the immigrant is not the tenn
porary situation that may arise because Of
his coming, but the permanent contribution
that he will make to the flesh and blood of
the Nation. His effect upon the labor sit
uation, even his effect upon the dwelers in
our jails, is a temporary thing, but the blood
Of the individual immigrant may multiply
and remultiply itself in his descendants
until it is represented by hundreds of thou
sands of individuals who contribute to the
body polite of the future, which Is the
American people.
"MHEN the United States takes the Do
w sition that it prefers that the people
of one stock, rather than the people of an
other stock, shall be added to its citizens,
it in no respect reflects upon the races which
1t excludes. One farmer might maintain a
pure strain of Jersey cattle and another
farmer might maintain pure strain Of
Hereford cattle. Both strains are very ex-
cellent, but it would be greatly to the dis
advantage of the man who breeds Jersey
cattle to have an occasional Hereford put
into his herd
''The fundamental stock of the people Of
the United States came from those races
which inhabit Western and Northern
Europe. They have decided that this is
the strain which they prefer to perpetuate.
They have, therefore, drafted an immigra-
tion law which win tend to strengthen that
race and thus eliminate the introduction OF
the elements Of other stocks that are not
of that race"
us it admitted" asked, ''that a nation
has perfect right to exclude individuals
from other nations if 1t sees it?' Prob
ably the best established principle OF the
right of nations" said Mr.. Husband, .'is
the right to exclude from their borders
whomever they see fit. We wrote this prin-
ciple into law when We passed the Chinese
Exclusion Act. We further established II

that race to our shores. We have gone

leaves Europe. 1t must be borne in mind
that we could not set up an organization
for doing just that thing in a foreign coun-
try without the consent of that country,
which consent certainly could not be gen
orally secured. 1t must be recognized also
that an organization to do this work would
needs be complicated and far flung to be
effective. On the other hand, the process
Of selection exercised at the ports Of the
United States concentrates S5 per cent
Of the work at one point-EIlis Island.
