The bill was " loaded." poltically. and they would cheerfully avalil themselves of any pretext for postponing its further consideration. But Senator SMITu declares that tiley must meet the issue. and that they must meet it before adjournment of this session of Congress. He disagrees entirely with the interpretation of the immigration situation which has been adopted by these students of conditions that are to result from the war in Europe "As soon as peace has been restored." lie argues. " Europe will dump untold thousands of hel people oil the United States. Nor will the best elements of European society be attracted here. Much of the riffraff will seek admission to this country. We must be on the qilt viva now. as we never were before. There will not be much immigration to this country while the war is in progress. but once it is terminated the riush will be bigger than ever. and we must be prepared to exercise restrictive measures. And Congressman BUIRNETT fully agrees with him.
