We began to build great cities. Industry came out of its decline and flourished. so that from 1.900. when the census showed us to be 76.000.000 people. we have accepted among usfrom that day to thisnearly 18.000.000 alien people. But for the great World War and the quota restriction laws which began in 1921 the number added would have been 30.000.000. But we actually imposed 18.000.000 on 76.000.000 without strain. until we learned all too late that the inelting pot had ceased to work. that socialism. comnmnism. anarchism. bolshevism. and every kind of "ism" had been imported. We invented none of these "isms." Our sudden advance into substantial Industry stepped us 50 years ahead of our national stride. so that we were able to place on the pay roll and take care of the great bulk of the new arrivals. who were coming a million a year.
