EXCLUSIVE AMERICA. EFFECTS OF THE NEW IMMIGRATION POLICY.

Mr. Frederic C. Howe, former Com- missioner of Immigration to the Port of New York, has an article in Scribner's Magazine upon the new restrictions which America has placed upon the incoming of tho alien. In the course of it he says:-

In all probability the age-long muse ment from East towards the West has come to ga end, America is no longer the hospitable mother of the restless, the dis. contented, and the impoverished of other and older worlds.

Frast. It means that iminigration has caune to a positive end. The outgo is likely to equal the income. Before the wae the number of persons who left this country, the birds of passage." so- called, was about 30 per cent of those who canie. The aliens who left the coun- try numbered about 300.000 a year. Many of them went back for a visit Many re turned to their native landa to enjoy their accumulations. The number of ad- missible, aliens under the 2 per cent, law is 333,000. The immigrant departures' in 1930 were 288,000, and in 1921 they were 247,719. Dedusting those that came for professional and other reasons, there is likely to be diminution rather than un increase in the immigrant aliens who are destined in productive work and suck employment as is usually assigned to thờ rewer immigrants.

SECOND-We have definitely deter. mined that America is to have an Anglo- Saxon-Germanic race. At least so far as admissions to the country control our racial, quality. We cannot control the birth-rate. The older stock is undoubted... ly less fertile than the newer. races,

It marries much later in life. It has fewer children. It does not increase as do the people from south and central Europe, and especially those that have a lower standard of living.

A SERVANT FAMINE.

THIRD-In a few years' time we will be faced by a shortage of servants. in only the recent immigrant and the tegro that will accept inenial work. The average working period, of a servant is Dot. To exceed seven years. Old age, marriage industrial ccupations, many causes call the survant from the kitchen, as they did during the war. Wages rose rapidly. They have continued high. This contributes to the exodus from the kitchen. It makes the servant, less, of a servant. It frees him from fear of loss of a job. Within a relatively short time there may be a famine of servants in America," a famine that cannot be cor- rected by opening our gates to women alone. For the women will not come if their men folks are to be left a hom

FOURTH-There will be a vacuum in the labour field when industry revives. will be especially noticeable in the un- skilled trades. There will be a shortage of men in the iron and steel mills, in the mines, in the fields, in all those mass in- dustries where mere physical power is needed.

FIFTH-Growing out of this the pro- duction of wealth may diminish. Not because of the shortage of immigrant labour alone; but because nobody wants to be a manual worker if he can help it. The rapidity with which the aliens rise in the social scale, is one of the. miracles of the world. It matters little from what country they come, the change which taken place, and the rapidity with which it takes place, is one of the things that make men question if there is such a thing as race superiority, or is it merely a difference of opportunity. Men' "and women seem want pretty much the same things. They want the things that those above them in the social scale have. And the universal desire of peopla is to get away from manual labour. No one wants to work with hig bands if he can avoid it.

FLIGHT FROM PRODUCTION,

AA generation ago nearly everyone was a producer. Fifty years ago almost everybody worked with his hands. There were very few people who did not con- tribute directly to the increase in the amount of wealth produced. Moreover, everybody, worked to capacity." | People were inspired by hope, by ambition, by the belief that they could, 'and 'would,"| vise by their own efforts. There was no such word as "sabotage." To-day a large percentage of our people do no productive work, or work ut secondary processes that contribute but little to the wealth of the world. And the in-t stinct of almost everybody is to escápo into a profession or a calling in which there is a social caste, even though it be the paste of a clerk in a coda-water fountain.

war

Let us project our minds ten years into the future,n ten years in which there has been no immigration, in which many immigrants who stand well up in the economic scale have gone back home, a ten years which, added to the eight years since the outbreak of the closed bar gates to immigration, makes eighteen years in the age of a man. By 1912 many of those now working in the iron and steel mills, in the mices and |on the railroads, in the building of roads

and the work on the farm,. will have! grown old. They can no longer do bard manual work. In the factories, girla |whose paranti were of foreign birth have

married or been worn out. The shop-? | girl, has not been recruited from the better-to-do immigrants. There will cer- |tainly be a loss of 3,000,000 workers, and possibly many millions more. Where are they to come from During these years the oncoming generation will be crowd- ing into the more spectacular professions

A condition like this has never con- fronted the world before. It could not arise in any European country, because. caste made it impossible for many men | to rise, while economis bonditions with a rapid birth rate kept competition alive for the most menial positions.
