Bessarabia. I believe that immigration should be restricted to at least 2 pet cent. as provided by the Johnson bill. but I can see no logical reason for adding to this 2 per cent the extra 100. as provided therein. Make the number sure and certain 2 per cent ald eliminate the nonquota class. Strengthen the selective feature its much as possible. and require registration or elollhenst of all aliens now in the United States and of those admitted in the future. Suci a measure enacted into law. with adequate provision for its enforcement. will mean to a great extent the solution of the immigration problem. Foreign countries are today dictating the class of Immigrants that the United States must accept. Let America assert herself and determine whom and how many she will permit to enter her gates. and that she will keep herself Informed about them and their future conduct as residents therein.
