people are too optimistic in regard
to the immigrants. Some of the
types of immigrants which Miss
Geyer told us about are: Poles
Slovaks, Bohemians, Italians and
Jews. Many people think that We
get the poorer class of immigrants
but this is not true. 900 of the
gambling houses and houses of pros
t1tution are conducted by the Ameri
cans and not by the immigrants
Certain types of immigrants, espec-
tally the Slovaks have ever showed
a tendency to rise to be the equal oi
their masters. 'tMr. Steiner" an
authority on the immigration ques-
tlon says that no nationality is
so degenerate or so hardened but
what 1t can be assimilated and
made into average good American
