I cannot see the wisdom in sending a family of two. three. or four wih household goods over 5.000 miles in preference to bringing one man home. This action I presume is going on throughout the land and will possibly run into the thousands. It is significant that at a time when there is apparently a plannedexodus of good American families to lands beyond the continental limits of the United States. the President has seen fit to send a commission to Europe to expedite immigration into this country and very soon we will be witnessing the sordid picture of good American families. whom we need and want badly. boarding ships to go abroad and the returning ships unloading immigrants whom we do not need and in a vast majority of cases do not want. It is high time that the Congress be giving some attention to the question of bringing soldiers home and wake up to the immigration situation.
