.EM|GRANTS HELD BACK
BY SCARCITY OF MONEY
Great Numbers Would Come
From France and England
but for Cash Barrier.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening.

BY Associated Press 70 Every Evening
Washington. March 2S.-Great num-
bers of the iaboring classes OF both En-
gland and France want to emigrate to
the United States but are finding il i'm
possible to do SO through inability to
save enough money and also because
of the adverse monetary exchange.
This condition was reported 10 the
Secretary of Labor today by Rowland
II. Mahany, who was sent TO Europe
by the Wilson administration to attend
the session of the international COM
mission on immigration and emigration.
Low wages are preventing many En-
giishmen from coming to the country.
the report said, while in France the
present rate of exchange on the franc
is an almost insurmountable barrier to
immigration. There was said to be a
noticeable note of expectancy in En-
gland for better times. but rather a
lack of optimism among the poor
classes OF France.
