Johnson tcNtnally--that for % years
 the melting pot has been a deiusion and d snare But doesn't this man
 see what immigration has done fin the last SO years? Half a century ago
 America had only about 3s millions inhabitants. Without immigration
 she would have today a population of
 so millions at most---ihat is, less than
 half her present population Without
 immigration would America have her
 present wealth. prestige. prosperity, gold bullion and powerG Would
 America be victor country Would
 she rule inc world, morally as well
 as economically? Tn 80 years, immi-
 grafton alone made Philadelphia
 grow to thrice her former size, New
 York become five times as big as she
 was before, Boston six times, Chicago
 10 times, Los Angeles a hundred
 times Seattle 300 times, and Denver. Dallas. spokane. Kansas City. Okla.
 homa City and Yonkcrs wouldn't even be in existence. These arc the 'ialusion' and the 'snares' Of so years Of immigration. Tn all this is Ameri. cas- greatness and superiority.
 Johnson sneers 8t the arguments Of industry and economies calling for workers for the normal development of the country. He dcspises these strictly material aspects as Inc calls thrm. He Is satisfied with his prom iscd restriction or immigration favor ing the peoples Of northern Europe Hnd practically barring the rsst Of inc world The principles Of liberty 1 which made America great he treats | as an indication of weakness. as American hobbies. alterations and i tendencies. Johnson would 1 go farther: lie would abolish the pifb- l lin Use of foreign languages But he l docsnt know that these arc not ] American liberties. They arc man | kinds achievements guaranteed by ! every civilized country.

Washington Feb. 22.--Resenimcnt against the charge that foreign b!ocs bad been organized in congress to light restrictive immigration was ut- tered on the floor of the house of rcp- resentatiNes by Representative La Guardia of New York today.
