Foreign Visitors

There is a silver lining to the general cloud of depression in the returns of the Tourist Traffic from the United States to Great Britain. In spite of the troubles in Wall Street, one thousand seven hundred more visas than in the previous year were issued in New York in June. Many of the visitors arc of the less well-to-do class. The Travel Association here has been active, and it is to their insistence that we owe the removal of the supposed stigma of the word " aliens " from the placards and notices greeting our foreign visitors. It is time also to reconsider the Aliens Order of 1920, which was made during the early dread of Bolshevism, and acts without discrimination.
