One cannot accuse James j. Davis, re-
firing head of the labor department. OF
prejudice in his argument that the couu-
try needs to adopt more rigid laws IN
connection with the restriction OF lmml-
grafton. The former secretary, and new
senator from Pennsylvania, IS himself
of alien birth.
But he represents that type OF alien
which has contributed so much to the
development Of the United States OF
America. the type that became American
through and through. casting oil all al
filiation with their homeland. except
natural love for il, and even tins love
was exceeded by their love and loyalty
to their new land.
The nation is full Of such men and
women. and their descendants. lhey
have rot only formed a great portion OF
the nations population, they have pro-
duced many of its commercial indus
trial and political leaders, Of which MI
Davis himself is an example.
1t is against the new type OF alien VINO
has been flooding the country in recent
wears. that the restriction urged by Davis
has become necessary. This type IN
cludes those who are not assimilable with
what are termed the Nordic races, those
that live here but never become citizens
and those who may become citizens but
never become Americans in the true
sense of the word.
David would debar those whom the
secretary of labor certifies are not need
ed by the industries and professions of
this country; provide for the expulsion
of alien lawbreakers and radicals who
advocate overthrow of the American sys-
tenn of government; adjustment of rhe
law governing quotas so that it will prove
an acceptable substitute for the laws and
parts OF laws that relate only to Chinese
and other oriental immigration.
There is no disputing the necessity OF
tightening up on immigration, particular
" in the present unemployment crisis.
