YOUNG ITALY 



There are nearly one-tenth as many Italians in America today as in Italy itself. The 

 vast sums of gold that hard work and hard living enable the Italian to save up and send 

 home, where a quarter looks as big as a dollar here, is the best immigration stimulant there 

 is. That accounts for the fact that we were increasing our Italian population at an average 

 of 16 per cent a year during the twenty-five years before the European war began.
