America is needing skilled workers, and she is looking to Great Britain to provide them. Year by year, tempted by the high wages paid in America, thousands of artisans are crossing the Atlantic to settle in the States.' In large measure they constitute the annual army of emigrants to America. The annual quota of immigrants permitted from Britain is 34,000. Already this year 30,000 have gone. Hence the proposal to cease issuing visas for a time, until July. A year or so hence new immigration laws will operate. They will raise the number of immigrants admitted to America to 150.000 each year. Great Britain and North ern Ireland will be entitled to send 84,000 of them. The result will be the admission to the United States each year of many thousand fewer Germans, Poles, and oher nations’ peoples. Herein is proof of America's preference for British workers. In this connection, it is of interest to note that the number of people leaving Great Britain and Northern Ireland for British possessions overseas in January and February this year was 15,765.
