selves to our voters who actually
were born abroad.
There are some $780, 900 Of such
voters in America.
1t becomes interesting-and politi-
cally highly important-now to note
the countries of their origin.
On that point this writer haa
made the following calculations and
discovers the following facts:
The largest group of foreign born
voters in the United States is, of
course, the German grouc; but the
British group, If all the British
countries are put together, is in
fact a close second.
The reason that the Germans seem
so supremely important is that
people in their calculations fail
usually to put the British countries
together
They think of England. They
think or Scotland. They think OF
Wales. They think Of the non.
French part Of Canada. They think
of Australia. But they do not add
together our immigrants from all
of those places.
If one does so, it at once becomes
plain that while Senator La toilette
with his attacks upon the war may
be pleasing to the Germans, he ID
at the same time thereby lntagon.
ising among us a foreign group
almost equally as large.
1921 900 of German Descent.
The number of naturalized foroign
born Germans in this country is
/ 1927 900. n
The number Of naturalized immi.
grants in this country from Eaglard
and Scotland and Wales and Aus.
tralia and the British part Of Canada
is when all summed up, 1888. 900.
The difference between the two
numbers Is not great. Many of the
Germans feel deeply against the
war and are quite outspoken about
It. Our British immigrants are
much subtler and much quieter, but
they vote, when naturalized, and
they generally do not like the La
Toilette attitude toward the war,
and on election day they are going
to be one Of the great quiet pieces
OF racial padding against which the
German.La Toilette vote will get
cushioned and neutralized.
Such social and racial facts are
among the big facts underlying all
the surface flurries of every Amer.
lean Presidential campaign.
More Of them will be evolved by
digging down still bit deeper into
our immigration situation.

LONDON. Oct. 22.-victory for

1t is claimed, however, that the

Laborites charge that the present
price of wheat has caused a 20 per
cent increase in the price of
British bread. 1t is claimed that
the American rise in price is due
to spectators and not to actual
crop conditions.
1t is suggested that the wheat
could be brought from the British
