The population of this country has grown in the last decade. as will be revealed by the next decentennial census. by more than 1.000.000 a year. No one can know definitely how the population of the country is going to increase. but if it continues at even approximately the present rate through the excess of births over deaths. and if we admit nobsdy to this countryand I am not contending that we should close the doorif we did close it. the population of this country by the year 2000. if the present rate continued. would amount to at least 200.000.000 people. People who make studies of immigration trends. a great many of them. say that if we admit 15.000.000 from Italy. it would not solve the Italian population problem. Within a very few years. they would have taken up the slack. We would only have 15.000.000 of the Italians. and they would very quickly return to their population level.
