_Reports of the Immigration Commission, appointed under the Congressional Act of Feb. 20, 1907_. 42 vols. (1911).

Hall, _Immigration and its Effects upon the United States_ (1906). Henry P. Fairchild, _Immigration, a World Movement and its American Significance_ (1913). A good historical survey of immigration as well as a suggestive discussion of its sociological and economic bearings. Jeremiah W. Jenks and W. Jett Lauck, _The Immigration Problem_ (1913). A summary of the Report of the Immigration Commission. Peter Roberts, _The New Immigration_ (1912). A discussion of the recent influx from Southeastern Europe. E.A.
