lrme yeps ago very properly rec-
ognized the danger in "aBsisted" 1
immigration when it debarred from I
landing "any persons whose ticket
or. passage is paia tor witn tne
- - -a t . i
money of another, or who is assist
ed by others to come". But in
order to make it possible for the
members of a, family to send for
one another, the following words
were -added : ""But this section
shall not be held to prevent per
sons living in the United States
from sendims for a relative or
friend who is not of the ex
cluded classes." The motive of
congress was excellent, but the
phrasing of the law is too loose to
meet existing conditions. At
present more than 50 per cent, of
our total immigration is "assist
ed," and, for an "assisted" immi-.
grant, anyone is a "friend," and
anyone up to a fifth or sixth cou
sin several times removed, is a
"relative." The time has come
with our present enormous immi
gration, to restrict to the imme
diate family the privilege of "as
sisting" other aliens. As a rule,
it is safe to say that the best im
migrants are those who are able
to nav their own passages. We.
should certainly allow fathers and
mothers, and brothers and sisters,
and husbaads and wives and chil
dren to prepay each other's pas
sages. Beyond that, "assisted"
immigration should be stopped.
Therefore, the clause concerning
"assisted immigration should be
followed by some such words, as
these: "But this section shall
not be held to prevent citizens of
the United States (instead of per
son3 living in) from sending for
their fathers or mothers, husband
. - -a .
or wives, sisters or brothers, or
minor children who are not of the
excluded classes." A bill intro-
duced by Senator Lodge into the
Fifty-eight congress (S. 1876) em-
bodied an amendment along these
same lines. In his last annual re-
port as commissioner of immigra-
tion at the port of Nsw York, Hod.
