And. as Bacon demonstrated. immigration generally follows pretty closely the isothermal line. A very large percentage of the farmer population in the States to which I have just referred is of foreign extraction. It is equally true. and no one who wants to be fair in debate will deny it. that too many of the foreigners who come to this country now are likely to stay in the great cities of the East and to seek employment there. I was talking with the Immigration Commissioner of the United States this morningand I think I am at liberty to quote himand he does not at all take the view that the pending bill is wise legislation. He states that selection and distribution is the correct answer and not prohibition. I simply call attention to these things to show that the claim can not properly be made that the foreigners all stay in the cities. neither can it be made that they are simply wage laborers.
