Publisied ommawmmmm THE RESERVE ON IMMIGRATION During the past few years the people of the United States have been slowly turning from the old generous view of growth by immigration, and the recent bomb. outrages have brought: demand for the imposing of severer restrictions-upon aliens, ex- cluding alien anarchists, and their, like. Growing out of this public demand are several measures in the United' States sen- ate which would prohibit immigration for five years. Our hos- pitality has been abused so often, the mass of unassimilated and perhaps of unassimilable foreign population is-so great, that the sentimental notion of America as ‘“the asylum of the op- pressed” has disappeared in the alarmed instinct of self-preser- vation. S 2 - ! : When millions of the strangers within our gates remain ignorant of our language, get from foreign-langugg_e newsp. pers and periodicals their news and opinions, news often mis- leading and opinions in many cases stirring the reader to revo- lution; when in twenty or thirty tongues these foreign:colonies are incited to treason, and-the overthrow. of the government, of the economic and social system, is preached to them as a duty and necessity, how can Americans help feeling that immigra- tion should be restricted or stopped until the Americanization of those already here has made more progress. Of the second gen| eration good hope is entertained, though that may be yitiated in part by the influence of the imported gospel of hate. ' - It is true that many aliens are goinflsfl:ck to Europe,-that| - e many of our progressive farmers are aliens; that the country has owed much to alien labor, and that a prohibition of immi- gration for a time might produce a scarcity of labor; but no economic or financial consideration has any standing in com- parison with the imperative patriotic need of guarding against the enemies of order and the emissaries of destriiction. - In spite of precautions, these foreign revolutionaries get in. . The experience of Canada seems to show that the uttermost care cannot ‘exclude them. If that be the cage, it will be necessary to shut the gates. There are all too many Bolsheviki and bour- geois-exterminators here now. . We have our little Europes and Asias to make America, if it can be done; to he made harmless anyway. These alien communities, isolated, sullen, or hostile, fed on falsehoods, are a danger that the United States-cannot; afford to neglect or minimize. Until much progress in the work of assimilation has been done measures: of exclusion will have strong support. ; : B Of the natural good-will of these people it would be vain to doubt; but_so 16ng as their minds cannot be ‘reached by Americans so long-as in: their various languages the agents of revolution, the workers for proletarian autocracy, are the di- rectors of their opinigns, so long must they be inaccessible to : Americanism, and potential or actual perils of the state. Screened by a false theory of freedom of speech and-of the press, a considerable part of the foreign-language press is pois- oning the minds of these foreigners, lying foully about the United States, urging the overturn of its institutions, “Let us openly fight for what we want,” says Forward.“The Russian workmen have got rid of the bourgeoisie,” the Ukrainians here are told by their New York organ, “and we will get rid of them tomorrow.” Multitudes of the ignorant, shut out from Ameri- can life, are played upon, excited by these voices in their own language. Americanize them, but don’t interfere with the lib- erty of' the press, cry the' Americans most sympathetic to the aparghxc doctrines. Freedom to destroy freedom, the Constit- tion invoked to shelter its bitter foes! - While the revolutionista are free to sway their foreign subjects, how much chance is there of Americanizing them? _There are those who do not know just what.the American Legion represents, and as.a result of this lack of knowledge -there are a few returned soldiers and sailors who are skeptical as to whether they ,Ralp‘h.
