Jersey. . Mr. President. while the Senate is wrestling with these problems of immigration I have this comforting news to proclaim to the men who are so opposed to immigration. In the Evening Star of today I find the following: Immigration drops. more aliens quit United StatesRejoice! Rejoice! New York shows 45 per cent fewer incoming foreigners in 1914. There is an array of figures here that I will not read. Then it goes on to say thatImmigration 6fficlals.and representatives of the immigrant aid societies explain the falling off in immigration. aside from the war. which is the chief factor. as being due to the curtailing of work in the United States and to an effort on the part of foreign countries to restrict emigration by providing work at home and bettering the condition of their working classes. So rest your souls in peace and glory in being free from the possibility of immigration. and glorify yourselves to your hearts taste that you shall have in the near by America for Americans.
