Emigration to America worries officials in Berlin
An American State Department official warns that a large tide of European emigrants, mainly from Russia and Poland, threatens to flood the United States with up to 13 million largely undesirables.

Officials caution that stopping immigration would be difficult and note widespread passport fraud and graft, with promoters operating even from Berlin.
