the purpose of working temporarily
In the United States. AS matter
Of fact during the years when our i'm
migration was heaviest the number re-
turning to the home lands was always
more than one-third as great as the
number admitted to the country, and
in some periods of industrial depres-
sion the exodus of foreign-born workers
actually equaled the number OF new
arrivals. 4
Number Increased After War.
immigration from Europe was large
~ suspended during the World War,
but this condition was Shortiived and
the number admitted increased from
141 900 in 1919 to 100000 In 1920 and
more than 100000 in 1921. It will be
remembered that in the latter year
there was much unemployment in the
United States, IL being estimated that
some 100000 Of our people were out
of work. Ordinarily, hard times here
had resulted in a sharp decline. in i'm
migration, but in this instance there
was O steady increase, and this Is
what led Congress to enact the Dill
bingham quota limit law Of 1921. This
law was supplanted In 1924 by still
more drastic legislation which con-
tinued In force until July l. 1929.

origin system became operative.
The quota limit provisions OF the
acts of 1921 and 1924 limited imnigra-
ton from the various countries to q
fixed percentage of the number Of
natives of such countries who were
already resident in the United States.
The national origin system, however, is
based on different principle, for while
under the previous laws the quotas
weres reckoned on the basis Of foreign
born; population alone, the national
origin plan takes into account the ma
tive born as well as the immigrant
population.
I shall attempt 10 explain the rather
complicated national origin system in
the fewest possible words. It simply
provides that the number Of immi-
grants chargeable TO quotas who may
be admitted In any fiscal year shall
be limited TO 1874, which number
is distributed among the various ma
tionalities in proportion 10 the con-
tributions such nationalities and their
descendants had made TO the popula-
ton Of the United States from the
beginning down to the time The census
Of 1870 was taken. For example, IL
was found that in 1920 somewhat more.

annual allotment equal 10 q little more
than 43 per cent Sof the total avail
able quota, or 65,72I. Reckcned by
the same method the quota Of Ger
many Is 25,957, the Irish Free State,
1883; Poland. 6,124: Italy, $500. and
France, 3,086. No other country has
a quota Of as many as 5000, and 40
each. The drastic effect Of the present
Lave can be appreciated when 1t Is con-
sidered that In 1914 more than 1,000,-
600 immigrants were admitted from
Europe, compared to only 14T, 900 Inn
migrants admitted from the same
source during the last fiscal year.
Quotas Passed Every Year.
We are often asked why immigrants
considerably in excess of the estab-
lished quotas are admitted every year.
The answer is that natives Of countries
of the Western Hemisphere and the
wives and minor children VI United
States citizens, as well Is ministers, COLI
lege professors and certain other minor
classes, are all exempt from quota re-
quirements. Last year, for example,
more than $1,000 immigrants were adj
mitted from New World countries, S.
500 of whom came from Canada and
2,700 from Mexico. These immigrants
were largely natives Of the Western
Hemisphere and therefore were not sub
ject to quota limitations. The results
of the exemption accorded to the wives
and minor children Of citizens are less
important numerically, although italy,
which has an annual quota of only
800, contributed ~ 800 immigrants I'm
the last fiscal year, the excess being al-
most entirely made UP Of tina wives and
minor children of natives Of that coun-
try who had become American citizens
through naturalization. Another ex-
ample Of the same kind In found In the
case Of Greece, which country, with o
quota Of only 307, sent us 2,291 inmi-
grants In the last fiscal year.
On the whole, however, the quota sys-
tenn has very materially reduced inmf-
grafton, for the total number admitted
last year from all sources was little
beyond 260, 900, compared TO an average
Of nearly o million annually when the
doors were wide open. OF course. no
one can state with accuracy just what

RYE IN SPOTLIGHT
ON GRAIN MARKET
Oats and Corn Are Also Ac.

Quiet.
BY JOHN p. BOUGHAN,
Associated Press Market Editor.

CHICAGO, December 6.-Speculative
trade which just at present has been
largely diverted from wheat is making
the other grain pits fairly sparkle at
times. Rye, oats and corn have shared
in the borrowed activity. ana through
force OF circumstances some of the
brightest fireworks for the moment arc
being witnessed in the rye crowd. Ex-
IRENE scantiness of deliveries of rye on
Chicago December contracts have drawn
sharp attention to bargain-counter
aspects OF the rye market. and has sent
rye soaring TO point where rye imports
from Canada appear imminent.
Extent of Rise.
Compared with week ago, Chicago
values of rye this morning ranged all
the way from lSsc 10 8Lc bushel
higher. simultaneously, oats were sc
Sac up, and corn at i2c-2l2c advance,

and provisions varying from loo decline
to 35c gain
Unusual demand for all feed stuffs
to meet live stock needs owing to short
age OF the 1880 corn crop is largely back
OF upturns in the rye market and other
grain as we'll. Furthermore, there is
| evidence of concentrated holding in
Chicago December rye contracts, a hold
ing that traders who are short of rye
TO meet delivery requirments before the

reason to be afraid of.
Prices OF December rye have been
gaining fast on May Of late, and al
though recently cents under Nav
have now jumped to practically the
same level; Meanwhile, notwithstand-
Ing that the oats crop was of liberal
size this season. the movement Of oats
to market has been relatively small, and
promises to continue so as result OF
heavy rural use.
Further Gain Predicted.

more than half a billion bushels in
