Will America Longer Ignore Problem
Involving Her Future National Life?
Public Is Warned to Awake Perls and Opportunities
lmmigration-Leaders Urge Necessity Of Impair
s tial Study of Facts
By HENRY WILLARD BREv1s

Is America IN danger of losing
its national identity and of becom-
ing a sort Of miniature League of
Nations?
Will America continue longer 20
ignore problem-the imn1igra-
ton problem-which involves her
very life and her future as a ma
ton?
With nearly one-third of her pop
ulation made up of foreign born
and of people OF foreign parentage
and with millions of others now
migrating to her shores, is America
content with haphazard and tent
porary expedients, or will Amer
lean craftsmanship, American bust
ness, American labor, American ag-
riculture and the American people
as whole unite in the formulation
and adoption of fundamental, for
ward-looking policy on the vital
twin subjects of immigration and
assimilation?
These and many other startling
questions relating to the results of
past and the effects of future i'm
migration, are sharply raised by
Frances A. Kellor OF New York, one
OF the country's best known i1nni-
grafton authorities, in a remarkable
new Book entitled Immigration
and the Future"
National Policy Needed.
Indeed, so important to the coun-
try'S welfare is an orderly and in

Grave international problems, the
future of American foreign trade,
the friendly or unfriendly relation
of the United States to many of
the nations of the world. as well
as host of internal problems are
shown by Miss Kelior to be in
volved in the determination of our
national immigration policy. e
Europe Holding It's Nationals
While America is failing to give
adequate consideration to the ques-
tons involved in the movement of
aliens to her shores, European
countries are not ignoring their own
interests as affected by movement
abroad of their nationals. Accord
ing to Miss Kelfor's book, these
nations are even now planning to
tie their emigrants permanently to
the home land by granting them a
voice IN home affairs whether they
become uaturalized here or not.
What is America going to do
about :hat2 inquiries the writer.
Other pertinent questions raised
by the book are: Will American
employers of labor continue to re-
gard our immigrant population only
as so much cheap man-powcr, or
will they take the trouble to dis
cover its other and more valuable
economic elements, such as love of
industry, special mechanical skill.
habits of thrift. and ambition for
greater productive power and fam
lily advancement?
Will American business try to
build UP great trade with foreign
countries while considering beneath
its notice a market of 1500n000
foreign-born people in her midst
and growing at the rate of million
year?
Will American bankers seek a
worldwide financial supremacy.
while they ignore the savings and
investing powers of the immigrant
millions now here and yet to Gomez
Will American farmers continue
to CRY for capable farm labor. while

prohibition of moving pictures or

No resort to legal censorship of the
