NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST 22, 1916.
The republican efforts to force con
sideration of the immigration bill be
fore the closi uf the present congres
sional session may be little more than
a bit of political viap trap, designed to
catch the votes of those who are panic
stricken over the idea that a great in
flux of cheap labor from Europe will
commence when the war is over, but
they are none the less commendable
and should receive endorsement by all
who take cognizance of the present
economic state of the country or pos
sess a proper regard for the future of
the American people.
It is not for a moment believed that
ft cessation of European hostilities
will witness a rush of emigrants to
the United States. Indeed, every
reasonable prospect points to an op
posite condition. Conditions in Eur
ope will be in every way against such
an eventuality, even though the var
ious governments do not themselves
take active steps to prevent the im
migration of their citizens—which
they are almost certain to do if there
should be a more than normal tend
ency in that direction.
it is a mathematical certainty that
with thousands of suuare miies of ter
ritory devastated by war’s obliterating
ravages, with hundreds of towns and
cities in runs and with agriculture
and commerce at an almost complete
standstill, there will be a demand foi
labor in repairing the ruin war has
wrought that will at once place that
commodity at a premium and result
in the highest wages that Europe has
ever known. With more than average
good wages to be obtained and with
the assurance of a long period of pros
perity based upon an extraordinary
demand for hands to sow and reap and
build there will be little incentive for
the European laborer to emigrate.
The primary reason why nine tenths
of the European emigrees come to the
United Suites is not that they like the
country better or admire the principles
for which it stands. Some of them do
but the most do not. As a general
thing they have but little or no under
standing ol either the country or what
it represents. They do know, however,
that it is a place where they can im
prove their condition, draw bettot
wagi ?, ..nd find a better demand fot
teem labor. Not one in ten thous tn I
foisaae their homes for any othet
reason tl an that they believe they will
l e able to make more money in th.1
United States.
Even after years of residence the
majority continue to look upon their
own .red and its institutions as pre
feraiib to ours. Eight out of ten feel
that their own country is infinitely
better than this save in the one mat
ter of making money. Mighty few of
them who do not, in the bottom of
their hearts, hold this country and its
people in contempt. But, it is a land
of plenty, a place of prosperity, a land
where one may. by exercising Europ
ean economy, grow independent in a
few years and enjoy blessings and
comforts impossible of attainment in
the land of their birth. It is purely a
* matter of money, of getting good
wages, that draws them here and if it
were not that they can earn more
and enjoy more of the good things ol
* ■ •
life they would not come.
There is not a doubt in the world
thut wages will go up In Europe after
the close of the war and in direct ratio
to the height of their rise the desire
of the Europ. xii laborer to coinc to
America will go down. There will be
less Incentive and, consequently, less
desire to leave their own country in
preference to anothei. but, because
there is a most decided prospect that
the class who emigrated in former
years will find it to their interest to
stay at home after the war, we should
not overlook the necessity fot limit
ing emigration.
Regardless of what the close of the
war may bring, the emigration ques
tion is one that should be no longer
left to resolve itself. Conditions in
the United States are becoming such
that practically unrestricted immigra
tion, offers a serious menace to the
present and future welfare of the Am
erican people. Although there are cer
tain restriction imposed under the
present laws, they virtually debar
only those who are considered phy
sical!) unfit or those who possess a
criminal record. To all others entry
into the United States is practically
easy.
Tim* was when the emigrant was
needed —when he was essential to the
speed) settlement and development of
the mighty reaches of unoccupied
land within the national domain.
Millions of acres la) idle and unpro
ductive and to secure industrious peo
ple to populate them and make them
yield was a tieiiefU to the nation. Bui,
the day has long since [tossed when
such need obtains.
We no longer need the emigrant in
1 the sense that he was needed twenty -
five or fifty years ..go The tune is
at hand when the presence of the emi
grant from foreign lands offers a men
ace to the prosperity of our own peo
ple. Kor a long period there has been
apparent a wide spread tendency or.
.In part of employers of labor to em
ploy foreign labor to the almost com
plete exclusion of native lorn Ameri
cans. for the one and only reason that
the foreigner will work for lower
wages.
This is the one great and foremen'
i .ison why foreign immigration should
be restricted. In addition there art i
dozen others of vital importance to th
en sent and future of the native born
American, each one of which mav be 1
considered a legitimate reason for i
cutting down the number of enngrees
ihat are allowed to enter the nation.
The question of what may happen
after the war need not enter into the
discussion at all. Even though there i
will he no greater volume of cmlgra
ion after the great struggle is over
than before there is still good and suf
ficient reason to limit it by confining
entry to those whose presence will not
jeopardize the interests and well being
of our own people.
