particular, we have profited
the skill and experience of the
immigrants without having had to
bear the cost of rearing, educat-
ing, and training them, since most
of them have come as mature in-
dividuals.
Although opinion in America
appears to favor limited immigra-
tion, Dr. Davie , finds that there
a widespread holing against a
"closed door" policy. The demand
for a more liberal immigration
policy, he says, takes the form of
proposals to relax, not remove,
our restrictive legislation.
Dr. Davie describes the antag-
onism of various groups of native
Americans toward the foreign
born during our history. He points
out that "the present nationalist
movement has obviously absorbed
the Nazi pattern and given it an
American coloring." He adds, how-
ever, that "many Americans have
recognized the threat that the 'Am-
erica for Americans' movement
presents to the Unity and welfare
of the nation."
"What Shall We Do About Im-

Dr. Davie is also co-author of
Public Affairs Pamphlet No. 111,
"The Refugees Are Now Ameri-
cans," based on the Study of Re-
cent Immigration from Europe.
