Her only hope is in the development of her water power and the intensified operation of manufacturing processes. plus her raw silk and her shipslihr seagoing carriage. Tourists may continue to go to Italy in great numbers. for it is quite evident that her climate. scenery. and historic ruins and memorials will continue to attract large numbers. The revenue obtained from the remittances of her immigrants is a diminishing factor. Our drastic restriction of immigration inexorably lessens those remittances. Again. where we have left open the door for a small immigration. it is first applicable to a preferred supply. namely. the near kinspeople of Italians already in this country. to whom no remittances can be made. for they are already In America. It is a very unpleasant task to speak of the distress and poverty of a historic nation. It is a task most uninviting.
