immigration Restriction; a study of

United States, and of the measures de-
vised to restrict it will be found in this
book. e. N.
The Melting-Pot Mistake, by H. P.
Fairchild. 1926. JS83 F16m.
IF you want statistics, don't read
this book. If you want anti-alien
bigotry or pro-alien sob stun don't
read it, but II you want q reasoned,
readable and informed study of immi-
grafton, up to the minute and into the
future, then do read 1t. Some of its
minor conclusions may not find you In
agreement. For my part, I differ with
several But the broad main stream is
sound. and also entertaining. 1t is the
best book on immigration that I have
read. H. H. CURRAN.
Selective immigration, by j. J. Davis.
1925. JS33 .D292s.

OF prohibiting the influx of undesirable
aliens and admitting only desirable

the former Secretary of Labor urges
this policy on the United States and
suggests how it may be carried out"

America, Nation or Confusion, by E. r.
Lewis. 1928. JSS3L554.
Mr. Lewis is a lawyer. This may,
or may not, have something to do with
his gift Of clear thinking. At any rate,
he thinks clearly, reads widely and

immigration and Race Attitudes, by
E. S. Bogardus. 1928. JS83 B63i.
Making use of the case method the
"text considers in detail the funda-
mental basis Of all race relationships;
namely, racial attitude. It is one
of the few treatises which recognizes
the necessity for giving at least as
much attention to the attitude of the
native - white American as to the
various minority groups within our
population. JEROME DAVIS.
Racial Factors in American Indus
try, by Herman Feldman. 1881
HFO.F33
"One wishes this book, not a preach
ment but sound exposition of exist
ing conditions and their meaning in
American life. could be read by every
individual inside of industry and out of
1t who has ever made broad generali-
Zation about the faults of any racial
group. The spirit of tolerance It
breathes ought to act as an excellent
purge for misinformation, bias or pref
udice of any sort. n. C. FIELD.

dren, by E. de s. Drummer. 1929.
JS83 .B63.
This intensive study of one small
portion of the whole vast immigration
problem is as valuable for the contribu-
nomic questions that press for solution
as it is interesting for the human
needs, problems and development it re-
Yeals."
