Copyright, 118, By J. t. weuverj
Washington, Oct. 22. There has
been a suggestive decrease in the rate
at which iPoles and Russians resident !
in this country are taking proceedings
far naturalization. The numbers of i
unnaturalized persons of these na- j
tions is very large; and the evolana-1
tion is f rankly given by many of them
to officials of the Bureau of Natural-1
ization that they want to become citi-1
zens in a reestablished Poland or a
democratized Russia.
They would glady have become
Americana under other conditions;
they are willing enough to fight for
America, because they consider Amer
ica's cause is also the cause of their
native countries. But, now that there
is the possibility of one day return
ing to their native lands and helping
make great, independent, free eoun-
tries of them, they do not want to as
sume allegiance elsewhere.
The sitrns of unrest among certain
elements of the foreign-horn popula
tion are extremely interesting. Be
fore America entered the war, the
governments of the central .powers
were carrying on a diligent propagan
da to induce their people living here
to return homo during or after the
war. They were told that, even if
they could not come during the strup-,
gle, they would be more than wel
come afterwaTd; their countries would
need them, orpjpqrtunities would be
better than ever, and thev could help
restore property to their native :
lands. Every appeal of both interest
and sentiment was pressed strongly.
Saving Money for Return i
Since America entered the war, the .
direction"of this propaganda has
changed; but it is declared by of- ;
flcials that it is now active, especially
among Russians and Poles, while
many Italians also are planning to ;
return home after peace is declared.
Some months ago a Youngstown, O.. j
banker 'whose institution carries the i
savings accounts of several thousand j
persons of foreign birth told these j
officials that his alien-born depositors
were very generally saving with the '
idea of returning to Europe. At 'De- j
troit the same story is told by people
who "have the (best VTortunity of j
knowing the currents moving among j
the foreigny elements. Pennsylvaain i
and Ohio districts in considerable ;
numbers have developed like condi
tons. The possible consequence of such a ;
movement are giving concern. At all
times it has been realized that many i
onflictine movements of migration
were certain to develop after the war.
It is popularly believed in this coun-1
try that a great emigration will start
from Europe to America as soon as
the war is ended. Officials think it
doubtful. The European governments
without exception are preparing to
make every effort to keep their peo
ple at home because they are needed.
The test information is that ii
America "will admit them, great num
bers df wimen with children, 'the
widows of soldiers, will seek to me
here; and these will in many cases
not unlikely he .permitted to leave
their native countries. But the able
bodied men will be wanted at home;
and the unfit will not be admitted
here, save under most exceptional
conditions.
Spirit of Adventure Aroused
The iBritish government hs long !
anticipated a considerable emigration j
after the war; and the causes which ;
justify this expectation are likely to'
operate in other countries. Men have 1
acquired a new view of life and the;
world. The spirit of adventure haa ,
been aroused in millions of young j
men; desire to know the world, to
embrace its bigger opportunities, to
see and lira in Che great places ol
which they have heard, has been
planted in millions of them.
