Hostility Toward Immigrants.
''The sentiment that is being sys.
tematically created against immi
grants as an affront to foreign coun-
tries that provide our immigration. II
| is nothing more or less than an effort
to create popular sentiment against
the people of other lands and to force
the enactment of restrictive measures
through a revival Of the old dread of
the alien and an open hostility re-
sembling that of the 'Ynow-Noth-
ings' Of little over hal a century
ago.
/ "A campaign of insult and hostility
DO the foreign born is, under way and
! is making Americanization effort
lmost futile. 1t is doing more to
stir up unrest among the foreign
born than any other factor. The for
eign born do not realize that it is only
small section Of the native-born
population that is raising this cry
against the foreigner and every
thing foreign. They hear themselves
in public meetings accused of all the
evils and they read that they are the
cause of all the troubles that beset
the country. 1t is, time that calmer
counsel prevailed. If we must dis
cuss immigration and the foreign
born, then let us discuss them dispas-
sionately and without. attacking a
large number of our own people who
were born abroad or whose parents
were immigrants
| "The Inter-racial Council is not op-
posed to limiting the volume of inn
migration to America, if, after con-
scientious and liberal minded investi-
cation, that step is found to be in
keeping with the best interest of the
nation.
"Such an investigation should be ill
stituted at once and carried out under
the direction OF rlon-partisan com.
mission who will look over the field
both in America and in Europe, study
ing the subject from all it's tangles
scientifically, with view to evolv.
ing constructive policies. Immigra-
tion is too important subject to per.
nit of our rushing pell-mell into a
program of restriction without proper
consideration Of the consequences o1
our legislation.
"The Council commends princi
Piles of Legislation which will consider
selective immigration as one impOr
tant aspect, and yet but a single as
pect, of immigration. 1t suggests leg

"Of course the immigration of
blood relatives is desirable since it
helps stabilize the foreign born in
America and helps their assimilation,
but in the bill now before the Senate
we are virtually telling intending i'm
migrants that il they are able and
willing to work, we don't want them;
that if they are helpless and have
relatives here able to support them,
they will be welcome.
'This bill fails to apply scientific
principles to immigration. The out
come of such law would be to shut
out the immigration of able-bodied
unskilled workers, in the face of the
fact that in 1920 we received proper
tionately fewer unskilled immigrant
male workers than in any recent year
of normal immigration.
"We must realize that what we are
now experiencing is a business slump
due to temporary conditions that need
no discussion here. These conditions
must necessarily disappear, else we
have come to sorry pass. And when
these conditions have been removed,
and provided the bill to restrict immi-
grafton has been made law in the
meantime, we may witness shortage
of unskilled labor that may cripple
the manufacture of goods for export
and tax our capacity to meet the de-
mands at home. Such a proposal is
economically unsound, and if public
opinion is enlightened on the subject,
it will not become law.
"The warning against dangerous
ultra-radicals has been sounded in all
parts OF the country, and the threat
of an influx of syndicalists and Boil
shevists is advanced as a potent ar
gument for drastic legislation on i'm
/ migration.
"As to dangerous ultra-radicals en-
tering the country, the blame rests
with our immigration system for the
non-enforcement of the laws that
would effectively bar out these people
Incidentally, it may be stated that
the allegation that revolutionists ship
as 'stowaways,' is answered by the
fact that the law excludes 'stowa-
ways 1t is condition to be met by

Reconstruction
What the President of the
Chamber of Commerce
Has to Say About 1t.

While everyone has known
that there would be read
justment of prices and that the
business would suffer after the
war, still now when it actually
has happened it has come
somewhat as a shock.
A great many things have
come down in price, some of
them, too far-This will have
the effect of lowering the cost
of living still further as soon as
the high priced material on
hand is used up. ~
AS many merchants and
manufacturers are stocked up
with high priced goods, this
will mean considerable loss.
Some manufacturing plants
will have to close down-some
permanently.
There will be considerable
un employment.
1t is remarkable, however,
how soon we can change our
system of business in this coun-
try when we have to-effic-
iency will be increased-small
economies which have been for
gotten will be reintroduced
and soon prices which seem
low to manufacturers today
). will afford a reasonable pro-
fit.
If everyone does his. share
from the president down, to
make things work smoothly
and efficiently-if our govern
, ment will repeal war time leg
islation and will reduce the cost
, of government and taxes, the
time when new level of prices
for goods and for labor, that
will be fair to everyone, can be
reached, will not be far away.
When this level is reached we
, should enjoy a period of rea-
sonable prosperity which will
be much more satisfactory to
! all than the hectic period
, through which we have just
passed.

President Chamber of
Commerce.

OH Americanization will not only |
gain for il party strength but
will give 100 per cent American
ism to the country.
Following the most disastrous
war in the worlds history, we
face new era. Why then follow
a policy Of Americanization that
is antiquated9 We hear much
these days of Bolshevism and An
archy, but we we will do much
to prevent the spread Of bolshe-
vistic propaganda if we inculcate
principles of sound citizenship in
the foreigners who come to our
shores and keep out at the gate
the undesirables which are a
menace also to other countries.
If we are to succeed in Amer
icanizing the foreigners who
come to America from Europe,
we must rub shoulders with
them; we must approach their
problems in sympathetic man
ner; we must get their viewpoint
and work from it as well as our
own. We should exercise more
discretion in distribution Of the
immigrants. We must have more
effective means Of aiding the
foreigner in a practical manner
when he arrives in this country
through governmental agencies
We must find out, if possible, his
vocation or his special fitness fol
a particular work or industry ant
thelp him secure employmen
where he is best equipped. W.
must protect him from the un
scrupulous and dishonest, wh'
would rob and betray him. HI
must be taught that as soon a
he becomes an American citizen
he has a right to function il
his government, the same as tn
native-born American.
We must protect the immigran
from baneful and harmful in
fluences. In former years tn
saloon-keeper was powerful in
strumentality in Americanizins
the foreigner. / need not say tina
this influence was a harmful on,
in many cases, for the average

cannot afford to permit him t

Americans who would rob him o

ism. Give the foreigner fai
chance, start him on the righ

accomplish the great purpose for "
Big issues are daily propagated
before the American people
claiming that there are big prob
lens before us, namely, that the
foreigner is becoming a menace to
our institutions, industries, and
general welfare. Let us see how
much of a menace they have been |
in the last fifty years. A great
many Of our people are in the
dark in fostering the idea that
the United States faces dismal
days and they have been harping
ON the. pessimistic theory ever
since the War ended. First, let
us consider the United States.
The United States has only go
of the population Of the world
and only 7% af the area. Yet the
United States is the richest coun-
try in the world. The bank de-
posits of our nation exceed by bill
lions the combined bank deposits
Of the whole world, exclusive of
this country. Let us see what
this country produces:-
249o Of the worlds wheat sup
ply.
60% Of the worlds cotton.
75% Of the worlds corn.
27To Of the worlds cattle.
40% Of the worlds hogs.
25% Of the worlds dairy pro-
duets.
40qo Of the worlds iron and
steel St.@ttN'o Acft III S fQ a.
4 4Oaa Of the world s silver a~S
| 500 of the worlds coal. =
60% Of the worlds copper.
60To of the worlds oil.
$50 of the worlds automobiles
and we have
| 1870 of the worlds gold.
That is to say, Of the total pro-
ducts of the globe we contribute
25% of the agricultural supplies,
40% Of the mineral products and
34% of manufactured goods.
Before the war we owed the
other nations five billion dollars.
We have not only paid this debt,
but foreign nations owe us ten
billion dollars and we hold the
largest gold reserve of any ma
ton in the world. Is, then, the
foreigner a menace to American
industries and institutions, in the
light Of these facts?
Relative to Americanizing the
immigrant, let us pursue the old
traditional policy. We cannot
Americanize the alien by force,
but we can Americanize him by
showing him the right from the
wrong. The reason that he has
emigrated to the new world is
to better his condition and become
part Of our government. The on
ly solution Of the American prob
lem pertaining to Americaniza-
ton is in the following logical
steps.
The Democratic and Repub-
hcan parties are the two chief
political organizations in America
and Americanization in the future
will depend ito large extent
upon their policies. BY this ] mean
that Americanization is a pelitieal
as well as social problem and if
it is to be satisfactorily solved
must have the attention Of the po.
litical parties. The party in
power will have to show the for.
eigner that he has right to
function in our government, OF
which he is an integral part. II
should reveal to him in q more
forceful manner the advantages
that will accrue to him by obtain.
ing citizenship and just what OBJ.

country, and the party in power
