Set a small quota for these new immigiants -ou say? Yes. and then the quota will be raised a little each year. I say. let us stop all immigration for a few years until we have made sure that we have taken care of the people now in this country and who have not yet found it the land of milk and honey the average immigrant thinks it is. Let us not have to add to our relief rolls at Government expense the hordes from the teeming shores of foreign lands. Most of these people no longer come here and go out in the country and start earning their way at hard work on the farm or in the frontier country. such as Alaska.
