A NEW IMMIGRANT JAM
Tim immigration problem is not yet solved, even tempor
arily. No sooner hud tlie emergency restriction law gone into
effect tliun confusion arose of a new-sort, with the result that
FJlis Island is clogged worse than ever before, with no prospect
of relief for a long time to come.
In applying the Dillingham law, each nation was given a
quota for the present month, with the additional provision that
it must not exceed '20 per cent of its total allowance for the year
in any succeeding month. The Italians reached their June quota
of 2,fi00 on the second day of the new regime, with 12 steam
ships in New York harbor waiting to unload their passengers,
among whom were at least 5,000 mnre Italians. Many thousands
more of the same nationality were on the way over. Several
other nationalities are in almost as bad a plight.
What is to be done with all those oliens who are tempor
arily ineligible! Apparently they must either wait on ship
board for weeks or months, until their turn comes for admit
tance, or else they must be returned to their native lands, un
less Congress enacts a new emergency law. Life in the steerage,
on n ship lying at anchor in a hot harbor,, soon becomes intol
erable. Ellis Island has no accomodations for the waiting throng.
The steamship companies that have brought these aliens
over, without regard to the law of the country,-and lire still
bringing others, seem primarily responsible. Commissioner
. Wallis declares that they should be "fined heavily." He sug
gests a fine equal to the average fare paid by the immigrant,
which is about $140 apiece. A penalty of that sort might teach
the steamship men a well deserved lesson. The nation's im
migrant troubles all along have been due largely to their solici
tation of passenger traffic regardless of the country's welfare,
and their dumping of alien material on our shores has been
incomparably worse than any dumping of foreign commodities.
The foreign governments, however, have their share of
responsibility, and so has the United States government. There
has to be teamwork in a case of this kind. It rests with Congress
to provide the means of co-operation and for the Executive
Department to use them. The immigrants should be sifted at
the other end of the route, and only the admissible number of
each liotionulilv allowed to come through.
