The labor shortage bugaboo is no more.. Americans can man their own industries without the assistance of Europes unwanted peoples. and will do so. As has happened before in many a public enterprise. the chief difficulty in accomplishing adequate and proper restriction of immigration arises from the diversity of opinion as to procedure. The country wants more restriction. rather than less. But many who appreciate the demand of the public are presenting diverse views concerning steps to be taken to meet it. This is particularly apparent in the conflict over the socalled "nationalorigins" provision of the immigration act of 1924. This provision was written into the law at the insistence of Senate conferees. It never was a part of the House Immigration bill. In fact. it was voted down when that measure was under consideration in the House. Theoretically. much may be said in behalf of the "nationalorigins" plan . but in practice its value is doubtful. because it again stirs up bitter antagonisms bred of the ageold race pride and rivalry of the Old World.
