inclination to betake themselves hack to the land of their nativity, according
to the statements of New York customs office oificials. The customs officers
say the aliens enriched by war work are leaving America at the rate of about
one thousand a day and express the view that if the departures continue at
the present rate there is a decided prospect that America may find herself lac

here reveal that since December 30, over three thousand Greeks, Italians,
Spaniards and Portugese have sailed to Europe, each carry ing between one and
seven thousand dollars with which they expect to live at ease in their native land

the summer, the country will not only face a serious shortage of common labor
but will also be a large financial loser if the amount of money carried away by
the aliens averages as high as present.
