Italian Immigration to America

Signor Nitti, a deputy in the Italian Senate, says that every year an Italian province is transferred to America. It is stated that there are more Italians in New York than there are in Venice. Something like half a million come every year, most of whom settle in the large cities, Boston, New York, Washington, New Orleans, and Chicago. Not all of these immigrants are undesirable; in New York alone their property holdings are valued at $60,000,000, one-fourth of which is in the savings banks. It is proposed to relieve the congested conditions by the organization of agricultural colonies.
