Who are blamablethey or we? It is true that the partial assimilation of some of the newer elements among our aliens has been slow. Is it not due largely to the fact that our immigrants have clustered largely about a limited number of industries in industrial centers. forming them-. selves into colonies not easily penetrated by American influence? Senators from all the industrial States can bear witness to this condition. but is this the immigrants fault? Has not the immigrant been obliged to go where we put him or. rather. where the captains of industry put him? Most of the recent arrivals came here to labor. No one will say that they have not been industrious. and is not industry a certain guaranty to success and one of the basic marks of true citizenship?
