6 MEXICAN OFFICIAL URGES PUBLIC WORKS PROGRAM Becretary of Communications Holds Country Is in Fortunate Economic Position. By the Associated Press. SALTILLO, Mexico, Ociober 3.— Mexico is in a fortunate economic po- sition, as compared to other countries, and should view the future with op- timism, Gen. Juan Andreu Almazan, secretary of communications, said in a speech at the inauguration of a link in the Matamoros-Mazatlan Highway here yesterday. He said (he country has been able to find places for thousands of Mex- icans returning from the Ufited States during the last year without serious injury to its condition. She has an abundance of corn, wheat and other! food supplies on hand, in his opinion. Arguing for continuation of public works, he sald officials who suspend such activity on account of the exist- ing finencial depression are merely taking advantage of an excuse to hide their incompetence. The inaugurated road connects Sal- tillo with Cuesta de los Muertos, on the’ border of the State of Nuevo Leon. l BLIC LIBRARY | 1 Immigration. In connection with the present in- terest in the smuggling of aliens into the United States since the present im- migration restrictions went into effect and the possible relation between immi- gration and crime, the Public Library calls attention to the following books, | and to magazine articles which may bs | consulted in the Reference Room: Restriction. Immigration Restriction; a study of the opposition to and regulaticn of immigration into the United States, by R. L. Garis. 1927. JS83.G184. “An excellent survey both of the pposition to immigration into the United States, and of the measures de- vised to restrict it will be found in this book.”"—E. N. The Melting-Pot Mistake, by HW. P. Fairchild. 1926. JS83.F16m. “If you want statistics, don't read this book. If want anti-alien bigotry or pro-allen ‘sob stuff, don’t read it, but if you want a reasoned, readable and informed study of immi- gration, up to the minute and into the future, then do read it. Some of its minor conclusions may not find you in agreement. For my part, I differ with several. But the broad main stream is sound, and also entertaining. It is the best book on immigration that I have read.”—H. H. CURRAN. Belective Immigration, by J. J. Davis. 1925. JS83.D292s. “Selective immigration is the policy of prohibiting the influx of undesirable aliens and admitting only - desirable stock. Tllustrating his points from rec- ords of immigrants who have contrib- uted good or evil to the national life, the former Secretary of Labor urges this policy on the United States and suggests how it may be carried out.” Immigration Restriction at Work To- day; a study of the administration of immigration restriction in the United States, by F. P. Cavanaugh. 1928. JS83.C31. America, Nation or Confusion, by E. R. Lewis. 1928. JS83.L584. “Mr. Lewis is a lawyer. This may, or may not, have something to do with his gift of clear thinking. At any rate, he thinks clearly, reads widely and speaks fearlessly. This is a very re- freshing book.”—H. P. FAIRCHILD. The Bureau of Immigration: its his- tory, activities and organization, by D. H. Smith and H" G. Herring. 1924. JS83.Sm54. The Immigrant as Citizen. A History of American Immigration, 1820-1924, by G. M. Stephenson. 1926. JS83.St46. “A volume which stresses a_hitherto neglected aspect of American Immigra- tlon: The influence of immigration and the immigrants upon the political de- velopment of America.” Intelligence and Immigration. by Clif- ford Kirkpatrick. 1926. JS83.K634. The purpose of the volume is “to investigate the effect of past immigra- tion, as made up of different nation- ality groups upon the mental capacity of the present American population and to consider ths implication of the find- ings for a scientific immigration policy.” Immigration and Race Attitudes, by E. 8. Bogardus. 1928. JS83.B63L. Making use of the case metihod ‘the “text considers in detail the funda- mental basis of all race relationships; namely, racial attitude. . . , It is one of the few treatises which recognizes the necessity for giving at least as much attention to the attitude of the native — white American —as to the various minority groups within our population.”—JEROME DAVIS. Racial Pactors in American Indus- try, by Herman Feldman. 1931. HFO.F33. “One wishes this book, not a preach- ment but a sound exposition of exist- ing conditions and their meaning in American life, could be read by every individual inside of industry and out, of it who has ever made a broad generali- zation about the faults of any racial group. The spirit of tolerance it breathes ought to act as an excellent purge for misinformation, bias or prej- udice of any sort.”—R. C. FELD. Immigrant Farmers and Their Chil- dren, by E. de 8. Brunner, 1929. JS83.B83. “This intensive study of one small portion of the whole vast immigration problem is as valuable for the contribu- tion it makes to sociologic and eco- nomic questions that press for soluuon’ as it is interesting for the human | meg.s, problems and development it re- veals.” Magazine Articles. The Alien and Crime. New Republic, 68: 50. September 2, 1931, . Although the Wickersham Committee tells us that “the forelgn born in America are less given to criminality than the natives . . . the real question is whether the children of foreigners, born in this country, are more lawless than the native children of native parents.” The New American Immigration Policy and the Labor Market. N. Carpen- ter. Quarterly Journal of Econom- ics, 45: 720-723. August, 1931. A discussion of the presidential statement of March 26, 1931, whicl® “amounts to a limited embargo upon immigration to this country.” Descendants of the Foreign-born, by A. Myerson.

The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, v. 1231, has the following Immigration, A Domestic or an Inter- national Problem? by H. Fields, p. 41-49, %8 Our Immigration Policy Satisfac- tory? by R. L. Garis, p. 28-40. Waturalized Citizen's View of Immi- gration, by A. T. Polyzoides, p. 50-53.
