If he was planning to marry. lie puts it off. If he is married. lie no longer welcomes children. In short. for every immigrant who lands in America one less child is born to an American. The coming of immigrants when viewed over any long period of time is thus a substitution of one race for another. The population is governed by the opportunities for support. That has been the history of every government from the beginning of time to the present. and this is based upon the analysis of the history in the abstract from the beginning of the Government to the present time. The law of population that has led to a decline in the American birth rate substantially equal to the number of immigrants admitted is in operation today just as rigidly as in the past. It will govern the century to come just as it has governed the century that is gone. The question for the American people to decide is whether the land shall be peopled by the descendants of those now here or shall pass in large part to those who will come from other lands. Except for brief periods. immigration will not Increase the population above the figure it will reach without immigration. The influences that determine population are inexorable. and If we admit those from other lands we shall decrease by a like number those vho will be born of those now here. The question for coldblooded consideration by the American of today Is this: Do you want the soil inherited by your son or by the son of one who now toils in a foreign land?
