Of course. this matter of migration is not all In one direction. Not all of the movement is from Europe to the United States. but all the time there are persons in the United States going to Europe. So it is estimated. on the basis of figures furnished by the department. that about onethird as many go away as come in. so that would leave a net immigration to America of 157.000 persons. Of these. 78.000 would be male immigrants of 16 years or older. From northern and western Europe would come 43.000 such persons. while from southern and eastern Europe would come 35.000. The point to be developed by the presentation of these figures is that the net result of this law will be so restrictive as to bring in a negligible number of persons.
