Then came the period of great ‘expansion in the United States and later in South Ameri- ca, which made the emigration figures mount skyward. In 1881 ‘the Italians working under for- eign flags numbered well over a million, and ten years later, in 1891, they numbered 1,985,000 The. four-hundredth anniversary of Columbus’ discovery of Ameri- ca saw well over two million of his fellow-countrymen settled be- yond the seas. Despite immigration restrictions by varjous countries, the prolific; qualities of the Italian race have succeeded in keeping up the num-! bers of those living away from| home. In 1911, the last census before the outbreak of the World war, the figure was 5,805,000 emi- grants. At the end of 1927 it was usw ).
