MANY FOREIGN AGENCIES OPPOSED
TO RESTRICTIVE IMMIGRATION BILL

to this country. Italy objects be-
cause she feels that she needs a ref
uge for her surplus population. ia
pan objects because she feels that
her feelings are in danger of being
hurt. Poland, it is reported, objects
not only to immigration but to the
characterization of such Poles as
are here and is said to have asked the
Vatican to intervene.
Indiana and North Dakota, Texas
and Michigan do not object. They
are tired of paying the bills for i'm
migrant insanity, pauperism, crime
and lawlessness. In former days they
were rather proud that America was
an Asylum for the oppressed" Now
they know that unless immigration
is stopped or radically changed, Amer
lea can justly be called an asylum
for idiots, and we will be the idiots
Europe seems to consider US an asy-
lum for her incompetents, detectives
deliquents and criminals.
The senate of the United States
should restore the 1890 census tc
the immigration bill as the basis for
quotas. 1t should do so because it is
the sensible thing to do and because
it is in the interest of America. The
interest Of America should precede in
the estimation of the senate the in
terest of the other countries of the
world. Alien blocs in our great cit
les, faithfully representing the coun,
tries to which their hearts give allie
glance, have brought pressure to bear
upon the senate to eliminate the 1896
census as quota basis. The senate
can choose between the alternative
of pleasing foreign groups or pleas
ing the Americans.

The senate of the United States
will soon have to decide whether it
will pass an immigration law for the
benefit of America and Americans,
or for the benefit of Roumania, Italy,
Poland, Japan, and points east and
south.
Roumania objects to the legislation
desired by Americans because it will
