Buckle. agree will double their numbers at the emst every thirty years. Our censusreports are suggestive of thought in this connection. Making all due allowance for war. pestilence. and other extraordinary causes of destruction to human life. the population of the United States should be in 1915 not less than one hundred millions. and in 1950. two hundred millions. without the aid of immigration. and so on in the same ratio until the increase of human life in this country should be limited only by the means of subsistence. Within one hundred years. which ought not to be regarded as a very long period in the life of a nation. the question of subsistence will be the "burning question" of the time. even though not another immigrant should ever land upon our shores. Why not. then. make selection aung the millions who are coming to us and receive the best. those who are most easily assimilated. and who become homogeneous with our people? Whynotdiscriminate?
