It is very commonly stated that we have not sufficiently guarded the rights of those of foreign nations who seek an asylum in this country. and it is intimated. if not asserted. that a very large proportion of the classes that have been coming have been impelled to do so by political or religious persecution. but the commission did not find that to be the fact. They found that in every instance where they came in contact with the different classes of the new immigration such classes had emigrated to improve their general living conditions. They were induced to come by reason of information received from this country indicating that wages were high. that eonditions were favorable! that their advantages would be greater. and in a general way that it would be to their advantage to make the change. They have come to take advantage of these conditions. and for no other purpose.
