Excerpt from A Humanitarian Study of the Coming Immigration Problem on the Pacific Coast: Being a Digest of the Pacific Coast Immigration Congress, Held in San Francisco, California, April 14-15, 1913, and Showing Its Relation to the Tacoma Immigration Conference, Held in Tacoma, Washington, February 21-22, 1912
It seems natural that after having had the privilege of being the Secretary of two Immigration Congresses on the Pacific Coast; the one in the North and the other in the South, that we should attempt in this report to show something of the entire Coast movement thus emphasizing the fact of our mutual problem and how all organizations and sections are planning together to face the question as a unit - with solid front - thus avoiding the waste that comes in the overlapping of effort in attempting a solution of a problem.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a compilation of presentations given at the 1913 Pacific Coast Immigration Congress, reflects the growing concerns surrounding immigration at the time. The text focuses specifically on the need for the fair treatment and reception of immigrants on the Pacific Coast as the Panama Canal's impending opening was expected to drastically increase their numbers. The primary question tackled by the speakers and delegates at this gathering was how to best prepare for this influx and ensure that these individuals would have an equal chance to become good citizens.
