Shall we have the courage to challenge the power which opposes its passage? It is said that so many people will have been slaughtered In the war that we need have no fear. I was enlightened a few weeks ago by reading an editorial In one of the great metropolitan dailies to the effect that there would be no occasion for immigration laws after the war shall have closed. that there would be such a sacrifice of life that we must necessarily conclude there would be no occasion for an undue amount of immigration in this country. There Is In those belligerent countries a population estimated at 450.000.000. If we make the estimate according to the ordinary rule. that would give us in those belligerent countries 90.000.000 working people. rather I should say 90.000.000 adult.people. and according to the ordinary estimate 80 per cent of the adults perform labor in some way. occupy themselves in the industrlill world so that they may be classed as laborers.
