Some regard South America as promising. others look to the Near East. some will probably go to Czechoslovakia or to. Jugoslavia. but the great bulk of this dissatisfied population looks toward the United States with hopefulness. The report says: - It is saddening to feel compelled in duty hound to call attention to this possible exodus. and to suggest that Congress should consider whether America is to be a place of refuge for thousands of war sufferers. technically still our enemies. or whether our own interests require us to prohibit such immigration. Much of the human material availablefor. immigration is of the most promising kind. but some of it is permeated with Bolshevism. with radical revolutionary Ideas that will not graft on American civilization. and some are otherwise unsuited to become settlers. Reports from Germany coming out by way of Stockholm indicate that a great number of German citizens intend to emigrate as soon as permitted to do so. The best estimates place the number at 10.000.000. Reliable information Indicates that the Swedish Legation in Berlin and the Swedish consulates in Hamburg and Lubeck together recently refused to file 60.000 applications to vis6 passports in one month.
