victims of the transportation companies which brought them. Each of the aliens involved was, of course, entitled to a full examination under the immigration law and also to an appeal to the Secretary of Labor. The situation thus created was an utterly impossible one and, after due consideration, you took the only practicable action when on June 10 you directed that such aliens in excess of the quota should, if otherwise admissible, be admitted temporarily on bond until October 1. In this connection you held that an extraordinary emergency existed, and that the action taken was necessary in the interests of humanity. Subsequent events fully justified the wisdom of your practical and humane act, and much confusion to the immigration service and hardship to the aliens involved were thereby averted. The total number admitted in excess of the June quota was 11,741, the nationalities chiefly represented being Czechoslovakia, 1,689; Greece, 353; Hungary, 747; Italy, 2,320; Jugoslavia, 1,133; Poland' 2,367; Portugal, 517; Rumania, 1,438; Spain, 274. Notwithstanding these excess admissions, the total number admitted in June from all sources coming within the scope of the per centum act was 28,398, which was only slightly in excess of the quota of 27,298 who were admissible from such sources during the month named. It is of course impossible to predict concerning the future operations of the law, but experience during the month of June indicates that the number coming from certain sources, particularly southern and eastern Europe, during the coming fiscal year will be only a fraction of the number who would come were it not for the restrictive provisions of the law. In conclusion, it is my desire to thank you on behalf of the bureau for the splendid and sympathetic cooperation which you have given the service during the brief weeks of your administration of the department. W. W. HUSBAND, Commissioner General of Immigration. Hon. JAMES J. DAVIS, APPENDIX I. STATISTICS OF IMMIGRATION. The following tables present the immigration statistics for the past year in comparison with previous years, beginning with 1820, and so arranged as to furnish information upon practically all sides of the immigration question that can be represented statistically. In the classification of aliens the terms (1) immigrant and emigrant and (2) nonimmigrant and nonemigrant, respectively, relate (1) to permanent arrivals and departures and 2) to temporary arrivals and departures. In compiling the statistics under this classification the following rule is observed: Arriving aliens whose permanent domicile has been outside the United States who intend to reside permanently in the United States are classed as immigrant aliens; departing aliens whose permanent residence has been in the United States who intend to reside permanently abroad are classed as emigrant aliens; all alien residents of the United States making a temporary trip abroad and all aliens residing abroad making a temporary trip to the United States are classed as nonemigrant aliens on the outward journey and nonimmigrant aliens on the inward.
