Kenneth L. Roberts in the Saturday Evening Post of February 12. 1921. I repeat that the desire throughout Europe to emigrate to Amrica is so strong that the emigrant will practice any chicanery to break through the weak spots In an immigration law. Times have changed as regard emigration. Economic distress throughout Europe is so great. and will be so great for another decade. that America at its wvorst will have more attractions for the emigrant than his own country. Before the war for years the tide of emigration rose to its height in the spring and autumn and receded to its lowest level in the winter and summer. Now every ship that sails throughout the year is janrmed. Before the war emigration rose and fell as Armerica enjoyed prosperity or depression. Now. America under all conditions has equal attraction for the European. The people of America who are not bound by ties of blood to European countries are asking for new Immigration laws. 328.1 That statement is met by those who want them to come with i the further statement that the limitations upon shipping will t necessarily restrict the number so that it will not be dangerous. The number is already dangerous. I call your attention to the additional fact that whenever profitable business is offered in increasing volume facilities are usually increased by people wa o are resourceful and active in the enlargement of their business.
