Yes. as of 1920. taken under conditions that obtained directly after the war. before we had any immigration law. I did not have reference to the 1920 figures. but to the report that there are more aliens in Detroit now than then. There are certainly not 300.000 aliens in Detroit at this time. In Detroit we have Americanization schools. and these institutions are doing great work. The large employers in Detroit. like the Ford factory. I am advised. require citizenship or a start in the direction of citizenship as a prerequisite to employment. Large numbers of aliens are not coming in under the law and most of those entering are only too pleased to become citizens.
