RESTRICTING IMMIGRATION

Two years ago the proposition to limit immigration 10
this country met with much opposition. Farmers and
manufacturers who could not get help felt that this coun
try needed more people who were willing to work
Aftedward came period when there has been much
unemployment 1t is evident that the conditions at the
hight of the boom of 1920 artificial No such scarf
city of labor as existed years ago likely to appear
at present Our people should be set to work before CIV
ing employment foreigners. So there will be little op
position to renewal of the present law which sharply
restricts the incoming of aliens.
TheUnited States has admitted great multitude who
were poorly qualified to become American citizens, who
have herded in the great cities and constituted ceners OF
disturbance The lines should be closer drawn i'll future
or the character of the country will undergo radical
change.
The test of the period showed up too many hyphen-
ated Americans The danger of dsoyay has pessed for
the present But aliens who do not grasp American ideas
who can not read newspapers printed in English who can
not understand addresses given in own language are
always source of peril They frequently follow poltl
teal demogogs and visionary radicals and create lack
of unity and cooperation among the people.
The United States needs to assimate the alien groups
it now has, before taking in many more OF these people
restricted amount of immigration could be permitted
by accepting those who willing go the farms, and
keep out of the congested alien colonies of the cities But
what is wanted not much more population, as
more Amercanized people cooperating in hearty unity
for social advance
