They do not laugh at the numbers of automobiles. radio sets. electric household appliances. and baby carriages which our people manage some way to afford. They do not laugh at the growth of savingsbank deposits. of life insurance. and of building and loan associations. I do not notice any tendency on the part of foreignborn workers to shun this country. Our immigration laws restrict the number of those who can come. Were it not for this restriction. we should have millions of Immigrants seeking our shores. Perhaps they want to come merely because they find so much amusement. I should not blame them for laughing When they get here.
