SURVEY DISCLOSES | MIGRATION CAUSES Change in Immigration Laws Held Factor in Movements Within U. S. ‘The President’s Research Committee on Social Trends maae public yester-| dey it; report on “The Status of! Racial and Ethnic Groups,” in which it attributed the spectacular migration | of Negroes northward to the “drastic | changes in our immigration policy” and declared this movement had “manifold | repercussions upon the Negro popu- | lation.” ‘The report also discussed examples of lower health standards of both the Negro and foreign born, Indians and others; the constant effort to advance the cause of co-operation and adjust- ment between aill racial and ethnic groups in the face of antagonisms and the progress generally toward assimila- tion during recent decades. Discussing the movement of colorea gople northward the report, written Dr. Thomas J. Woofter, jr., professor of sociology and statistician in the In- stitute for Research in Social Science, University of North Carolina, stated: “Immigration was no- sooner re- stricted than the vacuum thus created drew hundreds of thousands of South- ern Negroes from the farms to the in- dustrial cities, a movement with mani- fold repercussions upon the Negro population. Deficiency of European immigration also encouraged a flood from our northern and southern neigh- bors, Canada and Mexico. It also served to increase the movement from the Territories, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines, to the continental Wnited States. ‘Wide Ramifications. ““Naturally, such radical changes in ulation have had wide ramifications. e quality and quantity of labor has en changed. Agriculture and in- dustry have been affected. Problems of health, dependency and delinquency ve been complicated in some com- unities. The reduction in the rate of increase in the population and the mubstitution of people of different standards of living has affected the quantity and quality of goods con- sumed.” . Dr. Woofter disclosed that one of the principal effects of restricted immi- gration has been the faster rate of in- crease in the colored groups—Negroes, fndians and Orientals. The result is that today our population has become *less foreign white” and “more colored,” he reported, the rate of increase be- tween 1920 and 1930 being set at 15.7 r cent for the whites and 20 per cent or the colored. Since restriction of immigration be- , according to figures presented by r. Woofter, “the proportion of immi- grants from the newer and older sources has been reversed.” That is, in the period 1910-1914, 20 per cent of immigrants came from the “older” Immigrant countries, mostly from_the orthern European nations except Rus- 5“; and Poland, and 80 per cent came the “newer” immigration—Italy, ussia, Poland and others. Under the guotas in the period, 1925-1929, 86 per pent came from the “older” and 14 per nt from the ‘“newer” immigration ntries. “The immigrants from the new urces constituted 45 per cent of the opean foreign born in this country 1910,” Dr. Woofter stated. *‘This pro- rtion increased to 54 per cent in 1920 d remained at that point in 1930. Of e children of foreign or mixed parents per cent were of newer immigrant rentage in 1910 and 33 per cent in 920, the increases between 1910 and 920 and decreases from 1920 to 1930 chiefly affecting the groups from Italy, Russia and Poland.” Basis of Discontent. Dr. Woofter, emphaszing the impor- tance of the growing immigration of Mexicans into the United States, point- fl out that in 1910 there were 400,000 exicans or persons of Mexican parent- fage in this country, the number having ncreased to nearly 1,500,000 by 1930. “Of this million and a half,” said Dr. Woofter, “about 65,000 were enu- gnerated in 1930 as ‘white Mexicans’ or Shose of Spanish descent, while the re- maining 1,400,000 were of Indian or Negro descent.” _ The “principal elements” in the Negro a}gfltlnn situation were revealed by ‘oofter as: (1) The long-standing and deep-seated dissatisfaction with condi- ¢lons in the South centering around the economic disadvantages of the tenant system and the difficulty which the Negro experienced in escaping from it; (2) discontent with the school facilities provided by Southern communities, and 43) a feeling of insecurity in some com- munities because of inadequate protec- tion for the life and property of Negro witizens. “By 1920 there were 780,000 South- ermn-born Negroes living in the North and West, 8.1 per cent of the total. The dncr-ase in the North was nearly half a million_from 1910 to 1920, or 45 per cent. Between 1920 and 1930 the in-! erease was almost a million, or 63 per| cent.” Diserimination against the Negro on saccount of his color continues to be an dmportant social factor in American life, though the bitterness of former days is lessening, according to Dr. Woofter. He pointed, however, to the increase of “the prejudice of Negroes against whites due to an increasing dis- satisfaction with existing conditions.” | | Offsetting factors, stressed by 3 ‘Woofter, are education, social science Tesearch, which seeks to remove popu- lar misconceptions as to the health, orality and mentality of the Negro, || and the movement.

He is 42 years old. His maternal grandfather was Frank Le Blond, who was Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives just prior to the Civil War and who served in Con- gress during the Civil War from the; same congressional district, the fourth Ohio, which his grandson now Is elected | to tepresent. His father, Charles A.| Kloeb for many yeers was a member of | the Democratic State Central Com-| mittee and for six years chairman, from i 1902 -to 1908. Frank Klceb was graduated from the | Celina High School in 1908, qualified | to teach and entered Ohio State Uni- | versity that Fall in the College of Lib- | eral Arts. But his father died the nex year and it became necessary for the | young man to quit school and hunt | himself a job to support his mother and sister, but he still clung to his ambitions. He worked as a day laborer for the Crampton Canning Co. of his home town, and on a neighboring farm. He clerked in a clothing store and sold life insurance for the Columbus Mutual Life Insurance Co. which was organ- ized and charterced through the efforts of his father.

Returning to his native town at the close of the war, he engaged in the practice of law, forming a partnership with John W. Loree who Lad studied law in the office of Frank Le Blon (Kloeb'’s grandfather) nearly 50 years before. He was twice elected prose- cuting attorney of Merce County. MUSIC JUNIOR CLUB'S CONCERT. HILDREN from 5 to 12 years of age were heard in the concert by the Federated Junior Clubs at the Interior Depertment auditorium on Saturday evening. The work cf these tiny pian- ists and the one violinit on the pro- gram was of surprising excellence and | without exception they played with | aplomb and musical feeling. They | proved not only the capability of the | teachers represented, but the value of | the federation idea to give occasion for | |MISS PERKINS’ NAME the children to perform publicly. The recently federated Foundry Junior | Choir, directed by Esther Linkins and accompanied by Karl Holer, gave a fine rendition of three choral numbers after only a few months of organization and practice. An incidental solo was well sung by Marguerite Pope. Another re- cently joined member was Sarah A.! ‘Tacker, who presented two pupils. Gertrude Lyons, president, and Ivalee Newell, chairman, gave short talks.

The | artists were Mme. Amelia Conti, harp- ist; Abillo Martins, violinist, and Alberto Martins, cellict, and the subject matter | of the lecture, delivered by Prof. Rafla of Georgetcwn University, was “Ben- benuto Cellini and the Italian Renais- sance.” Introductory remarks were made by Dr. Joaquin Coutino. who spoke of the changes that have taken place in the patronage of music, which has been shifted from the support of princes and | plutocrats to that of the general public, and that it is the audience of today | which makes an ' artist’s public career | secure. Prof. Raffa brought out clearly in his lecture the cauces that led up to the Renaissance. what was the Renaissance | and why Cellini was chosen from among | the ideal type of the spirit of that age. He finished by linking the beginnings of the Renaissance to our present-day situation and pointed out how the world is ready for a new artistic development. | ‘The viclin-cello-harp trio opered the | program with “Nina,” by Pergolesi, and finished with the “Largo” by Haendel. ‘The uniformity of tone of this combi- nation of instruments is exceptionally fine and they played with sonority and rich interpretative feeling. A large audience followed with attention and applauded heartily. A B WASHINGTON'S FINEST MEN’'S WEAR STORE Silk Hats Knox Formal Hats have been worn by twenty - thrce Presi- dents of our Country.

CO-EDS WIN LATE CURFEW | Oklahoma A. & M. Grants Leave d | ter thickly, TAR, WASHINGTON. WIFE OF SWANSON 1S GLOBE TRAVELER Journeys Include Far Places. Keeps Up to the Minute on Current Events. Mrs. Claude A. Swanson, a veritable globe trotter, won't have to join the Navy to see the world. But hers is the roving spirit to savor fully all the ro- mance that her husband’s post will bring to her from far places. ‘The wife of the new Secretary of the Navy has lived in Tokio, has seen Rome, Stockholm, Quebec, Paris. She knows her New York and her Hollywood. She has voyaged inlo the Arctic as far as the ice barriers. Last year she spent six months at Geneva, Switzerland. where her husband was delegate to the Disarmament Conference. Back to earliest Virginia her lineage dates. She is directly descended from Capt. John West, Governor of Virginia from 1635-36, and younger brother of Thomas West, Lord Delaware, first Vir- ginia Governor. As Miss Lulu Lyons of Richmond she was married first to Cunningham Hall of Richmond, and by that marriage had one son, Douglas, her close com- panion in 10 years of widowhood. Talks Politics Logically. In October, 1923, she was married to Senator Swanson, a widower, whose first wife had been her sister. Her son, the Senator’s nephew, is one of his sec- retaries, and served in that capacity on the Geneva trip. At those large, colorful Washington dinners where epaulets and titles clus- Mrs. Swanson may be fqund, vivaciously, and in the inimitable lvllmnh manner, centering conversa- on. Politics she talks, clearly, directly, logically, frankly. Opposition brings from her a word-crusade in behalf of her own opinions, so strong as to make many converts. She is proud of being “an unreconstructed Democrat.” Her views do not mirror those of anybody else. not even her husband, for whose opinions she has the highest respect. First-hand observation from the Sen- ate galleries, a close reading of the newspapers, and regular attendance at current event lectures keep her up- to-the-instant. Cast First Vote for Smith. Yet she has clung tenaciously to the Virginia tradition of & womanhood that may occupy the social foreground, but Temains in the political background. She did not favor suffrage. She did not exercise that right until she felt it imperative, casting her first vote for Smith. She never addresses a public audience. An exuberant vitality carries her triumphantly through busy days of charity and club board meetings and social engagements. She is vice presi- dent of the Child Welfare Society and 8‘! bthe National Woman's Country ub. City living prevents her from fol- lowing her favorite occupation—garden- Once mistress of a show place in the suburbs of Richmond, she still loves to talk of how she raised flowers, vegeta- bles, chickens, cats and dogs—all on | three acres—and had a beautiful front lawn to spare.
