There Are Now In the United states Some 14,000,000 Foreign-Born Persons,
Together With Other Millions Of The Sons And Daughters Of Foreigners Who
Although Born On American Soil Have As Yet Been Little Assimilated to
Americanism. This Great Body Of Aliens, Representing perhaps A Fifth Of
The Population, Is Not A Pool To Be Absorbed, But A Continuous,
Inflowing stream, Which Until The Outbreak Of The Great War Was Steadily
Increasing in volume, And Of Which The Fountain-Head Is So Inexhaustible
As To Appal The Imagination. From The Beginning of The Century, The
Inflow Averaged little Less Than A Million A Year, And While About
One-Fifth Of This Represented a Temporary Migration, Four-Fifths Of It
Meant A Permanent Addition To The Population Of The New World.
