One Hundred Year* ol Immigratnm.
Students of national problems lately
have proposed au elaborate ethnical
survey of the country’s population,
their essential idea being that we Am
ericans must Like stock of our hawan
resources and assets and give some at
tention to the prevention of degener
ation. By carelessly admitting iv»o
many aliens or by admitting alien ele
ments that are either not assimilable
.it all or only assimilable after groat
efforts and long periods of tim*\ we
are, it §< assented, exposing the na
tion to the danger of physical ann
moral decay.
As a matter of fact, even igithom,
in exact, scientific ethnic survey, we
Know pretty well ’^hat the sources of
immigration have be^n, and what they
are today. The federal department of
commone has just furnished a con
venient review of immigration since
1*20. There is nothing startling or yn

expected in this review, but it oppor
tunely refreshes the national memory
We learn from it, for example, that
the British isles rank first as a source
of immigration during the century' un
der inquiry and that the Irish have
constituted the predominant element
’ in this human stream. The Ormans
admitted during the same period num -
ber nearly 5,500,000. Italian immigia
tion is comparatively recent, the
total number of arrivals for the ptfri.xi
| ts 4,100,735.
We have figures on Slav, Scaadi
naVian, Tifktsh, and other soi res of
immigration. We know roughly the
number of Chinese and Japanese in
the country, even though there is con
siderable controversy concerning the
importation of Japanese womep am*
girls in alleged violation ot the tex*st
ing agreement with the Japanese gov
! emment
That the time has come to contr •!
immigration more intelligently >ituj
more effecually than it has been cou
trolled in the past is generally accept-:
i ^d conclusion. There is, however, no
I cause for alarm or for restrictive
measures so drastic and summary :i3
those favored by certain trade union
i traders. Tho melting pot must nor I o
j overtaxed. We must take care t >
| rimilate what raw material for citizen
ship we allow to get into the copntiy.
We must not assume that American!
i ration is an easy, automatic prove'
But our material resources and our im*-1
fdustrfeS need and will continue to need j
immigrants of the right sort, and Sfe-J
lective tests approve^ by common 1
sense and experience will meet our
! moral and biological requirement*.
