 into the United Sta~es in the fiscal 1 year ended last June 30, according
 to the annual report today of Secre-

 43e'oo1 in the previous fiscal year ana is more than twice the estima te

 More than one-fourth of the aliens
 admitted last year were Italians, the
 number being 222,26O as compared

 The number of marines in general considerable increase. with a total of 4,517 as against 2,762 for 1920. It cost nearly $4,000,0O0 to pass fa upon tha ana .st admlt fisod the immigrant E tide says. To enforce the laws against alien anarchists cost an additional $590,000. while the depor ation of un- destrables added s127.o0O to the to- tai.
 ''The Bureau of Immigration" says the report, raises complaint as to smuggling and surreptttious entry of aliens. The 'seamen route is a fla vorite device. That is they arrive as sailors and manage to disappear in the depths of the country. Many others arrive a. Mexican ports and hundred of these were arrested and deported during the year as rigorous deportation to the country of origin has been though> the only effective means of breaking this practice"
 Aliens filing petitions for citizen ship during the year number 198,53O, while :he number of declaration of in tention was 2O4,4S1, an increase of 4.375 over the number in the pre-
 Citizeiship training activities of the department, have been extended 10 MT Davis says, but industrial unrest resulted in a reduction in Ihe number who avai1ed themselves of these ben- efits. the total this year being Ill.,
 Despite the cost of handling Ihe aliens, MT. Davis says his department was more than self-sustainfng during the year. The total expenses. cover amounted to s6,66o,s88, while bal. anced against this were receipts as follows: Immigration head tax, $5,- 712,763 naturalization fees, 912, ,3O5: fines for attempted evasion of the inn migration laws, $352,411 and forfeit ure of bonds $4,000.

These disputes, it is stated, af- fected 420,745 workers directly and 172,261 workers indirectly and in only 48 cases were the conciliators unable to reach a settlement.
 Secretary Davis asks Congress for means and authority to add addi- tional conciliators. He also urges shat additional funds be appropriated for the United S<tes Employment service. declaring that "the govern ment has. already organized within itself, a means of meeting inc prob lem of unemployment which could be made available at once with an ap- propriation of s1.OOO 0OO."
 In the interest of economy, it is stated, MT. Davis wro1e the shortest Labor Department report of record, the document covering only 43 print ed pages. Copies of it were not is- sued for general distribution to the newspapers of the country as here tofore, the department giving out only an abStract
