The Immigration Problem
Fiom four to ten thousand
European immigrants chiefly
from Italy are being landed
weekly in New York While it
is piedicted that there will bo
some decrease during the sum-
mer present indications favor
tho establishment of a new
record for tho influx of fmrni
grants during the fall month >
2L
Some immigrants from Southern
Europe undoubtedly do become
farmers and build homes in the
agricultural districts but the
records of years have shown that
even though they may not stop
on landing at the port of entry
most of them sooner or later
drift into tho cities whore they
help to swell tho number of
dwellers in tho crowded tene-
ment districts many of them
become pabjio charges in tho
endThis
This is a thriving aud vigor
ous country but there isw WfSCS
strong possibility tha with our
present wideopen immigration
policy it may acquire more
foreign population than it can
well assimilate Wo havo tho
black race problem in theSoutlH
and the yellow race problem on
the Pacific coast Ultimately wo
may have another equally mena
acing through the immigration
from Southern Europe and Asia
