Survey Show* That Immigrant Stays Very Close to Luge Cities <
A survey of the people from over
seas and their sons and daughters,
by the Interchurch World Movement,
has revealed that in a triangle run
ning from the extreme corner of
Minnesota down to the southern tip
of Illinois and from there east to
New Jersey and Delaware, this sec
tion constituting 18 per cent of the
area of the United States, contains
75 per cent of the 13,000,000 foreign
population of this country.
The study of the immigrant has
revealed, further, that this triangle,
! bounded on the north by the great
lakes and Canada, contains 56 per
i cent of the entire population of the
U. S. and 32 per cent of the 52
j cities with a population of 100,000
—^ or more.
\ In the accompanying illustration it
is shown strikingly that the immi
grant stays very closely to the large
cities, despite the fact that he may
have been a farmer at home or
/ worked in the vineyards on sunny
! j slopes in Italy. Yet in this country
he goes directly from the steamship
to an industrial centre, there changes
his mode of livelihood and adds to
the already intolerable congestion in
those areas.
In New York City alone the Ital
ians equal the total population of the
city of Los Angeles, a total greater
than the number of Italians either in
Rome or Naples. The number of
Austro-Hungarians in New York is
equal to the population of Milwaukee.
The Jews in New York equal the
population of Philadelphia. The
Russians would repopulate St Louis.
Aside from simply making a study
of who these people are and where
they live, the Interchurch World
Movement—30 great denominations
in co-operation, which is in a
mammoth drive for $336,777,572—
plans to ascertain basic facts on the
immigrant and his work in order to
build a truly constructive program
based upon the principles of states
manship and Christianity, an educa
tional program to assimilate the im
migrant into the life of America "
make him a 100 per cent American f
