We want to maintain a successful democracy. Mr. Trevor argues that our institutions come to us from England and for that reason it will be the easiest to maintain them by only letting in immigrants from England. I agree that these three basic propositions must be the real foundations on which immigration laws must be laid. But I disagree that these propositions can be maintained only by the addition of English blood. I am speaking mainly for the Scandinavians. and especially for the Norwegians. not for any personal reason. but because I know them better than the other racial groups.
