PERMANENT RESTRICTION

Sioux City Journal-The imnigra-
ton restriction law, which having been
extended by the present congress, has
a little less than two years 10 run,
that a permanent fixing of the bars
is now expected. This will be attempt
ed at the next session OF congress,
when a bill, already introduced by
Representative Johnson OF Washing
ton, chairman of the house committee
on immigration, will press the passage
of his measure. He believes il abso-
lutely necessary for the protection Of
the United States against influx of
foreigners which the country could
neither assimilate nor employ.
The 3 per cent restriction now In
force will permit by the end Of the
year the admission Of not more than
$50, 900 immigrants. including approx
imately 5000 who have been allowed
to enter temporarily for certain "a
sons of humanity and because il was
difficult to get the new law into
smooth operation. Without the re-
striction, it is pointed out by Mr.. John
son, fully $500, 900 aliens would have
come into the United States at a time
OF great business depression. Unem.
ployment alone In this country a few
months ago was an argument against
allowing foreigners to come here as

would have become public charges.
The movement for immigration re-
striction got new strength from the
popular conviction that the world war
had created conditions in Europe
from which vast numbers Of persons
would flee IL they had the oppor-
tunity. 1t was natural to suspect that
hundreds Of thousands would turn to-
ward America to improve their W
condition in life. Investigation showed
many undesirables would join the pro-
cession from Europe. Thousands Of
ill~iterates blindly were trusting to
America as their hope Of salvation.

distressing. Those were the condi-
tions which at last forced through the
bill to restrict immigration.
The economic conditions in Amer
lea have been greatly improved In the
last year, but the same advancement
has not been made in Europe. Re-
construction there has been delayed
and there is little hope that complete
will have been made before
many years elapse. Therefore, the
necessity of an act permanently lin
ting immigration to the United States
becomes apparent at once. 1t is
merely a matter Of the government
protecting itself and the people from
an unwelcome condition that event
ually would prove most distressing.
An Improvement In the naturaliza-
lion laws is suggested by Representa-
tive johnson. who. as chairman OF the
;y~rmtrration committee. has observed
generally the conditions OF life In
which the alien resident Is found. He
