PAGE FIGHT IMMIGRATION BIG PROBLEM FOR AMERICA Dr. Prosser Discusses Ques-| tion Before Federation of Women’s Clubs U. S. HAS COMPROMISED! Must Face Problem Resolute: ly, Says Dr. Prosser, Him- self an Immigrant | eae | Devils Take, N. D., Ort. 7.—De- | livering the principal address’ be- efore the twenty-sixth apnual con- vention of the North Dakota Federa- of Women's Clubs, Dr, C. ser, president of Dunwoody j Institute discussed the immigration | problem of the country, the problem of getting good blood to ‘mingle with the Anglo Saxon blood that has been the pride of this country since the first days of settlement. His subject was “Closing the Hee" | re gates of Immigration.” “There is a-tide in the affairs of | men, which, taken at its flood leads on. to fortune. In the immigration question, American faces such a| tide and such an.jssue, “Mr, Prosser said in the beginning of his address. For fifty years in this country we have dalied and comnromised with the question of our alien brother. There can be no final compromise in an issue so dundamental to the well- being and the future of \this Repub- lic. Compromise. only prolongs the | evil and only complicates the solu- tion of the problem, We have come upon the days!when there must be! some constructive policy adopted by this Government. It will take the form of national legislation, That legislation will determine, in my opinion, for ages to come either the permanent good or the! permanent |, injury to this great nation. What shall we do? Turn Eyes This Way “No sooner had the Armistic been signed when ten million Europeans turned’ their eyes toward this coun- try as the ark of, their deliverance. By the tens-of thousands they began to make their way, and they are still making. their(way, down to the ports by the sea, waiting for a favorable chance to come to this haven of , refuge. “Two' years ‘ago tHe .steamship | companies reported that every berth in cabin and stedrage would» be pledged for ten years to bring to this country. those who have applied for transportation. Month ‘by month. the reports. of the denprtngny of labor showed the: swelling level of the tide of immigration whigh .ex- seeded anything: known. i sell past history. “Aroused _temporarily - tee: situation, public oppinion. stormed at the gates’ of congress. Tradition was ‘repeated, because there came: again a compromise, meaguré as‘in the days’ of old. That measure might be called, forqwant of a hdc name, a stop gap measure. ‘It (pi vided, when it was passed, ‘frat for a period of two years. net more than 300,000 aliens should “be ad- mitted to these shores annually, and those at the rates of no more than 25,000 a month. In order to arrive. at same basis.of allocation between the nationalities, it was further arranged ‘that ‘each’ one of these nations should have the right to send to us every yee three percent of the total number of persons’ of that nationality already on these shores, “The two years of conmtpromise have passed, Within the last. two months Congress has re-enacted the same ,measure to last for another year. It is in truth a stop gap measure; it is a time for breathing; it is a time for the. careful con- sideration of the question it is a time for , the. setting up of p-inciples; it is a time for the de- claration of policies; it is a time for the education of public: senti- ment with. regard to new legislation that must be passed. What be the nature of that leg’ That is a question so far-reaching in its effect upon American. well being and upon the contro! of American destiny that one may well pause in the face of it, Must Remember Advantage “When we approach the question, however, we should not from our point of vantage, and with boasted American superiority, forget that the foreigners haye done much for their great country. They have bridged our streams, tunnelled our rivers, dug our mines, and made the. wilderness blossom. For all of these things we must forever rest debtor. Thanks to their efforts, for we are all in a sense either immigrants of the sons and daughters of immi- grants only a few generations ‘re- meved, we have achieved a material civilization. in country beyond compare. “The alien has not only contribut- ed to us material success, but the best of him have woven into the web and woof of american life color and vigor, genius and wisdom, dreams and aspiration, Let us not in this hour of our trial, as we face the hordes from Southern Europe, forget our great| debt of gratitude to these aliens of an earlier day.” Himself An Immigrant Mr. Posser the told of himself be- ing the son of an immigrant from Wales and continued: “I call on ‘all of, you, antner race, Scandinavian, German,. ‘ En- glish, Scotch, Irish, Italian, Russian; Bulgarian, whatever you may be to Subscribe to the same sentiment,” he said expressing the hope that, none should be admitted through the gates of Ellis Jreland unless he were fitted for. citizenship and parenthood.: Dr. Posser then told of the change that has taken place in the character of immigration in the last twenty-five years, following its course from the north of Europe to the south, “You and I dream of perpetuat- jng an Anglo-Saxon _ civilization, os * This remarkable picture of the toward democracy. We are. trying to do this with thé horde that comes to us from the countries ‘hat knew not Joseph’, The task is apout to overwhelm us. If you want your New England civilization perpetuat- ed, you must cease to.pour upon these shores the millions of strange |. races that have already made us, in spots at least, a foreign country! Most of the crime in this country today can be traced to the kind of immigration we have had in the last twenty-five yebrs. Chicago to- day has twelve times as much crime as London.) If : Chicago were as large as London .it would have thirty.six times as many violations of law. London'is made up of a homogeneous people whose rodts extend far into th past; Chicago:is a -polyglot place where every: lan- guage under the sun can be heard. New York has eight times!as much crime as London—metropolitan New York is two-thirds the size of Lon- doh.: If: New York were the size of London, » New ‘York’ would have twelve times as much.crime and for exactly the same reason as with Chicago. x | MANY: SAMPLES OF WHEAT ARE NOW GATHERED Fargo, N.
