Is to endure. the basic strain of our population must be laintained and our ecOlmlnlic stalldards preserved. With full recognition of the material progres. which we owe to tlie races from southern and eastern Europe. we are conscious tllat tile continued arrival of great numlxrs tends to upset our balance of population. to depress our standard of living. and to llduly charge our ilstitutions for tie care of the socially inadequate. If immigration from southern and eastern Enropl may enter the United States oil a basis of substantial equality with that almitted from the older sources of supply. it is clear that if any appreciable nulmber of imnigrants are to be allowed to land upon our shores the balance of racial preponderance must in time pass to those elements of the population who reproduce more rapidly on a lower standard of living tihan those possessing other ideals. We owe inipartiul Justice to all those who have established themselves ill our midst. They tire entitled to share ill our prosperity.
