Jews too Incompetent to country they have settled down iii. swindle even the bararous peasants of Russia. Poland. and Rumania. Yet these "clods" have in times gone by given the world liere and there among the immigrants. of course. there may be a something that tile creators and bearers of the great civilizations did not give it. I can not resist the temptation to quote a few sentences from an article written by an American. Mr. Price Collier. in 1914. upon a trip to Norway. in which he. among other things. says of these people: Like a dash of salt spray. they have awakened Into more vigorous life whatever people they have flung themselves upon. from Normandy and Dublin to Minnesota. Speaking of the emigration of the Scandinavian countries. he says: We in America may be grateful that we have had the bulk of It. There were 403.877 Norwegians. 665.207 Swedes. and 181.649 Danes settled in America in 1910. After visiting their country you wish that there were 20 times that number.
