Immigration Limits Seen as Key to Prosperity
Washington, April 18. Mark Sullivan reports Washington opinions on inflation and immigration. Experts deem inflation unlikely due to cautious public discourse while opposing further immigration, favoring restriction instead. The 3 percent rule may drop to 2 percent with 1890 census as basis, reducing Southern and Eastern European arrivals. Western Europe would still yield some labor. Proponents argue immigration has economic value, but Harding's view centers on social effects over raw material.
