DO WE NEED MORE
IMMIGRATION?

The shortage OF labor i'll some
industries is producing a demand
for changing our immigration
laws in order to bring in a large
influx of foreign laborerS. The
question is one which will be
eagerly discussed pro and con in
the next session OF Congress.
The Manufacturers Record does
not believe that there should be
any change for the present in our
immigration laws, unless to make
them more restrictive by requiring
that all emigrantS from Europe or
other countries seeking to enter
America should be thoroughly in
veStigated, physically and morally,
and as to whether they are anar-
chiStS or BolShevistS or not, by
responsible agents OF the United
States Government before the emf
grants are allowed to take ship for
America.
Our nation has been flooded for
many years with millions OF I'M
desirable aliens, who are aliens i'll
thought, in morals, in language
and in their concept Of govern
ment. Millions OF these people
have not been aSSimilated and arc
today a serious menace to the wei
fare OF this country, and will 81
continue until they have been as
simulated and Americanized
These people are responsible to 4
large extent for the breaking OF
our laws and for crime of all kinds
On the other hand, there are I
great many of these immigrants
who are good citizens, whose cOm-
ing has been of benefit to them and
OF benefit TO the country. But
we cannot afford to swamp the
country, even for the sake OF in
creasing the supply OF labor, with
the hordeS of people now eager
to leave Russia and Southeastern
Europe Tor America,
Moreover, there is auothe phase
OF this situation worthy OF the
most careful study. Thirty years
ago Gen. Francis \. Walker,
twice Superintendent OF the Cen
SuS, and one OF the able>t StatiS-
ticianS and political economists
which this country has ever pro-
duced, in an elaborate discussion
OF the immigration question, took
the ground that from the time
when the great rush OF foreigners
commenced to invade this country.
after 1880 and 1910. there was a
decrease in the birth rate OF native
Americans in just about the pro-
portion OF the increase in the ar
rival OF foreigners, due to the in
tluence which they were having
upon American life.
In other words, General Walk
er argued strongly that if there
had been no important immigra-
ton after 1880 or 1910 the birth
rate among the native white stock
which had continued from early
days would have given us Just as
large a population as we had with
the leSSening OF the birth rate OF
americans and the increase OF I'M

Occasionally q man is found who thinks that he
can build up big commercial success WITHOUT ADJ

nothing more certain in the business world than that
iudicious publicity is essential to success.
This has been so clearly demonstrated time and

assertion that advertising was the big factor IN sell

success of the war than any other one thing.
