We can not bring them here to save them. neither can we bring the people of central Europe. Here we have the United States. with 105.000.000 of people. according to this census. and according to the census of 10 years ago 13.000.000 of us were unnaturalized. Steamships are bringing a new immigration. flooding Ellis Island. jamming in as it has never been jammed before. Only last night all available space on Ellis Island was crowded with people. many sleeping on cement floors. while on vessels out in the stream awaiting a chance to get in to that island were several thousand immigrants. If we do not suspend immigration. we must build some more Ellis Island structures or open barracks. or divert immigration from the port of New York to Philadelphia. to Savannah. and 13g other Atlantic ports. and at once. That is one phase of the problem. Mr.
