Does not the Senator thinkperhaps it is not germane to what the Senator is discussingthat the fact that the immigrant estal)lished himself in a quarter. rather isolated himself from the mass of the American people. resulted largely because of the exclusive manifestations of the native population? We did not welcome them in the way that perhaps they thought we should welcome them. and perhaps in the way that we should have welcomed them if we sought their prompt assimilation. We crowded them into the more forbidding parts of congested districts of the United States. we gave them the lowest class of work--that which paid the leastand we made them feel that they were Inferior to us. We assumedthat is the view of some. and I am inclined to think there is very much truth in ita superiority over them. and the tendency of our manifestations was to make them herd together. to become gregarious. because they felt that we were drawing a line of cleavage between the American citizen. the native born. and the immigrant. Does not the Senator think that much of the situation is due to the failure of the people of the United States to adopt a proper attitude toward the immigrant. to provide means of Americanization.-aid to provide legitimate and proper means more quickly to assimilate the immigrant into the social organism?
