Show I Uyj TO OPEN THE FLOOD GATES. Our forecast of a campaign to re open the gates to the immigrants from Europe is being confirmed from a number of sources. Immigration Commissioner Husband is quoted as favoring a modification of the immigration law "so as to admit ad-mit aliens who would fill the industrial indus-trial needs of the country." This attempt to bring another flood of foreigners upon us should be met with the firm opposition of those who desire to make America more of a home for Americans and less a refuge for the alien who has nothing in common com-mon with us. While the largest city in the United States remains a place where hundreds hun-dreds of thousands of people do not speak English or respect American customs, tho time has not arrived to reopen our doors to immigration New York, Chicago, Pittsburg and other large cities are so strongly for- eign. as to be dominated by the foreign for-eign elemenL ! If there are any industries that feel I the need of aliens, let them draw on the congested districts of any ono of our centers of population Those who are more concerned over . getting cheap labor than on building rv-country devoted to ideals of the forefathers, fore-fathers, should be invited to move to the other tide of the ocean and there enjoy the cheapness of things to their jjeart's content. |
