The only reason why the Mexican has differed from the Brazilian or the Chilean or the Argentinian in his desire to come to the United States is that his country has not been prosperous. whereas other countries of like resources in South America have enjoyed extraordinary prosperity. It might be interesting to compare the population of Mexico and that of the Argentine Republic. We are told by the Statesmans YearBook that the estimated population of Argentina in 1927 was 10.348.000an increase of two and onehalf million In the past 14 years. There has been an even larger increase. on account of immigration from Europe. in the population of Brazil. I ask leave to insert in the REcoaD an extract from the Monthly Labor Review which gives the figures for immigration into Argentina and Brazil during the year 1926.
