Jenkinss figure of 15.000 is decidedly too high. and as I understand. the last fiscal year saw but 8.000 applications for admission into the United States for parents of American citizens. Assuming that this number were 15.000. it would not be more than once in the history of the United States and will not recur in any subsequent year. We therefore start with this supposition and for the present fiscal year we will have 15.000 old immigrants added to the population of this country. In the natural course of things these immigrants will die within the next 10 or 15 years. New admissions can not be many. Unless their number decreases we may have 300 or 400 parents brought into this country year by year without quota limitations.
