ASKS LIONS TO HELP

Michael Klsy Urges Club to h,
 courage Foreien Born

The suggestion that the Lions club sponsor a movement to en- courage foreign born residents to attend English classes. study Amer ican government and institutions, and become citizens was made at the noon luncheon of that organiza- ton at the Burritt hotel today by Michael kley. manager of the im- migrant service and citizenship bu- reau of the Metropolitan Life ln- surance Co. of New York. Mir. Kley's topic was 'The New Immi- grafton and the Old World"
 The speaker related interesting details about immigrants who have been coming from the days of the | Pilgrim fathers when the number was small, to the years before the immigration laws were passed, when the total was over a million a year. He gave facts and figures that showed the response to the cal of America by those across the seas.
 Tn 1917." MT. kley said. Amer ica began to check up on those seeking admission to our shores and passed over the head of President {, Wilson the literacy test law. The first restrictive immigration law fol- lowed in 1921. for equalization pur- poses and showing preference to the , people of northern and western Eu- rope. In 1924 immigration was re- stricted to two per cent of nationals of any country as of the census of 1890"
 As a result, according to tho speaker, within the last two years selected class of foreigners has been admitted to America. the large majority being between the ages of l6 and A. lightweight per cent of those who came over were examined on the other side, thus avoiding dis i ruption of families barred because the quota was filled. Ellis Island is no longer the Isle of Tears" he said. Only four out of every thou. sand arrivals at the port of New York were barred last year. The speaker gave a description of the character and complexion of the present immigration.
 MT. Kley pointed out that 307,255 immigrants came to these shores last year and that eight races. Mex ican, German. Irish. English. Scotch. Italian. Scandinavian and French made up S5.4 of the total immigra. tion for the year. Europe sent 15S,- 513 immigrants Of which over 9O,- GOO under the quota came from Germany. Great Britain and the Irish Free State. From the Ameri- can continent. which is not restrict ed by the quota law, 144.2S1 i'm migrants were admitted. Canada sent 73,154 and Mexico 59,0l6. Mr. kley brought out the fact that ST.. 50S of the years immigration were destined to relatives in the state ol
