May Revive Discussion-
The Census Bureau announcement
Is expected to bring a reopening Of
the entire question of immigration
restriction legislation which has
been agitating Congress for months.
Although 1t was well known
that the war greatly restricted the
infusion of alien blood into the
United States. there was no indi-
cation Of such extreme .curtailment
Of the foreign-born population.
The increase from 1910 to 1870 was
but rs per cent. as compared with
3o.7 per cent between 1900 and
1910.
The announcement should set at
rest the fears of labor leaders that
the United States would soon be
swsmped with cheap labor. During
the latter part OF 1890 and thus
far in 1891 immigrants have been
swarmipg to the United States at
the rate of nearly 1000, 900 q year.
Far Below Old Level.
Despite this fact, however. the
swarm would have to continue un-
restricted for fye- years to boost
the foreign born population to a
considerable percentage Of the total
of prewsr days.
The immigration restriction bill
as passed last week by the House
of Representatives provides that for
one year beginning with May the
from each country
must be limited to Q per cent OF the
number OF that nationality in the
United States as shown by the 1910
census. The ratio probabl ywilI be
changed to use the 1920 census
announcement as a basis when the
Senate acts, 1t is expected.
The House bill would limit the
total immigration to the United
states to approximately $4,000 per-
sons a year. In prewar days, the
total number OF new arrivals was
about 100000.
