Tables are available in the report of the Commissioner General of Immigration for 1922, from which can be computed the excess of those admitted as exempts over the quotas. An example will suffice. Italy exhausted its quota of 42,149, but 42,412 persons arrived from Italy, the number coming as exempted persons being but 263. Other countries show similar small figures. LATEST IMMIGRATION AND EMIGRATION STATISTICS. The committee undertook to secure in time for publication in its hearings (6-C) statistics covering immigration and emigration for the first six months of the present fiscal year. Commissioner General Husband prepared these as rapidly as possible, and they are available for this report. They are accompanied by an explanatory letter, as follows: Hon. ALBERT Johnson, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, House of Representatives, Washington, D. C. MY DEAR MR. JOHNSON: I am sending you some sets of statistical tables covering various phases of immigration during the first six months of the present fiscal year. There are others in the series which have not yet come from the mimeograph room, but they are not particularly important, and you and other members of the committee will get the complete outfit through the mailing list within the next two or three days. I am also sending three tables in which certain phases of immigration and emigration during the first six months, ended December 31, 1922, are compared with the corresponding period in 1921. You will see at a glance the significance of these tables. I was interested in noting the decrease in emigration and the increase in immigration, particularly of the northwestern European stocks, and also the figures concerning the coming and going of farm laborers and laborers. You will note there has been a considerable increase in the numbers coming in and a very great decrease in the numbers going out. Sincerely yours W. W.
