We have taken into our political system an enormous percentage of foreigners. and many of them do not "melt" and become Americans. They remain an undigested mass in the stomach of our political system. causing many troubles. Ilanv of our statesmen favor an entire cessation of all foreign immigration for a period of years. until we shall at least catch up with our digesting process. instead of going on and taking in new foreign material. Remember also that in some parts of America we have race questions of the utmost seriousness. which frequently manifest themselves in the ways that we all deeply regret. We do not desire to add oter race problems to these that we already have. and think it better to head them off before they have become serious.
