Excerpt from A Constructive Immigration Policy
There is need at the present time of excluding other dark skinned races, a need Which will undoubtedly increase unless some action is taken. From 1899 to 1922 there were admitted to this country over one hundred and fifteen thousand African blacks, and during the same period more than twenty-five thou sand West Indians, other than Cubans. One would think that our N egro problem was already large enough without adding to it in this way. The recently enacted 3 per cent restriction law, to be sure, applies to Africa and allows a yearly quota of only one hundred and twenty-two, so that now there is less danger from that source. But it would seem, since we have applied the prin ciple of exclusion to such people as the Chinese and Japanese, that we should go the whole way and totally exclude the black immigrant-aliens. The barred zone should be extended to Africa and also to the West Indies, especially to Jamaica and the Bahamas, to stop the coming of blacks from those quarters.
