We have 4.000.000 natives of the British Empiremore subjects of Great Britain than live in Australia. We have hordes from every land crowding and crushing their way toward the rich mans table. This. immigration of a million- and a half a year has pro. seated to the American people a pitiful and tender problem. Not in wrath nor In prejudice. not without sympathy the American House of Representatives voted to restrict this Immigration in the interests of American labor. If the nations of Europe would write the truth about the first great American achievement of the twentieth century would they not have to say that we furnished a highway for their ships and a home for their children? Is It possible that their representatives have come to the gates of our Capital accusing us of dishonor and of shame?
