(By Mail.)-—With the close of the war, one of the most ~vital and important questioms Italy wil have Jjto settle is that of imigra- Tion. “The basis on which this will be ad- justed between the United States and ftaly already is receiving the most careful study and attention by the highest emigration and labor authori- | ties of the two countries. - Despite the heavy losses Italy has| <uffered during the war, she. will nevertheless finish the great Euro- pean conflict with something of 2 surplus of male citizens, who hereto-| fore have constituted her greatest ex- portation to’ foreign countries. This is due to a number of reasons. ] With the outbreak of the war 1914, Italy, to be prepared for any emergency, immediately forbade de- parture for foreign countries of apy of her sons of military age. This re- with the result that Italy has within sands of men who, but for the war, would have emigrated during the past four years. HOST VITAL AR PROBLEN !at once is that the present clause in in!ding entrance of any emigrant who stiction ever since has been in force,} ner borders the hundreds of thou-| OWITALY'S who already had emigrated to foreign countries. These responded to a re- markable degree, and have gone to swell the number of men within Italy’s borders who with the, close of the war may desire to emigrite, While the final basis on which Italian and other foreign emigration to the United States probably will not be established until a long time after the war, Italy in the meantime is ask- ing for two concessions on behalf of her emigrating workingmen. The first of these ’s that all Ital- jans who returned :, Italy from the United States in response to Italy’s call to the colors be allowed to return without restriction or discrimination of any sort, except for sanitary rea- s0ons.
