He may be able to make some kind of a deduction. but he can not do so with any degree of certainty. As every Member of the Senate knows. during the past 20 years there has been a very decided drift from the country to the city. and to me one of the most interesting things shown by the census figures is the concentration of the alien population. In my opinion. the only way by which we can arrive at the facts from the census is to take the number of foreign whites in this country and deduct from that number those who are known to have become naturalized American citizens. There were 13.750.000 foreignborn whites in 1920. In using thes figures I do not want to be understood to be accurate down to the thousands. but in general there will not be a variance of more than a small percentage in the calculations of those who may work out the conclusions from the census returns.
