I think we have sufficient data at this time to reach some conclusions. and it should be one of the first subjects to receive consideration by the committee on reconstruction I have proposed. I am not sure that this committee should take under consideration ifimigration problems. but that is a question in which the people of this country are greatly interested. Are we to permit immigration from enemy countries under the same conditions which have obtained in the past and on the same terms applying to immigrants of neutral or allied nations? If my conclusion is correct as to the surplusage of labor in this country after the war. we may very well place unusual restrictions on those who have been largely responsible for bringing about the world catastrophe. and either the joint committee I have suggested or some other body should give careful consideration to this limportant phase of the international problems presenting themselves when we have peace. As I said In the beginning.
