Palestine they would have to wait several years. and the old people die in the meantime. So what good is that preferential right? We have no immigration problem in this country today. The European. immigrants here are so well established that they do not bsring down wages or reduce the standard of living. In fact. the opposition now comes from the manufacturers associations and open shoppers against European labor. European immigration. is now well organized. and exploiters of labor now say. "Give us Mexican peons. give us impoverished West Indians." because tisey can work them under conditions of long hours and low wages that the European immigrant today does not desire to work under. because he knows better and mnaintains the American standard. Let me show you a living example. Here is a photograph of the finest cooperative dwelling house in the city of New York.
