In the present crisis. with changing conditions. let us go slow and be sure that we are not interfering with existing treaties while passing new immigration laws. We are striving now for peace with all nations and to make the world a better place to live in. and it seenis unfair to abuse and Injure those who are anxious to help us in this great work. Let us remember that over 4.000.000 men were taken from their usual occupations during the war. and as they aie now returning. let us not forget there is a noticeable shortage of labor at present in this coufitry. It is stated by reliable authority that emigration from New York already exceeds 1.000 daily and that nearly 1.500.000 immigrant aliens are now planning to leave the United States. and no one can tell how many more are to go.
