4 PREACE he leading article in thi, the fourteenth, iue of the AERICAN JEIH YEAR BOOK i devoted to a urvey, by r. Leonard G. Robinon, of the Agricultural Activitie of the Jew in America, with pecial reference to the experiment, failure, and uccee in the United tate. It i a contribution to the hitory of a phae of Jewih activity to which too little attention ha hitherto been paid, and which hould receive widepread notice, a the achievement recorded, together with much unucceful endeavor, are of a high order. After the publication of thi article, the ground will be taken from under the feet of thoe who contend that agriculture i an occupation which ha no attraction for the Jew. Eaily firt of the event lat year in Jewry, not only of thi country but of all the world, i the abrogation of the reaty of with Ruia. It epochal ignificance make it take rank with uch hitorical event a the emancipation of the Jew in rance and the removal of the diabilitie of the Jew of England, if it doe not urpa them in importance. A meaure of the extraordinary extent to which public attention wa focued upon the indignity which Ruia, for more than a generation, had put upon American citizenhip, may be gathered from the multiplicity and variety of the article in the public pre, an incomplete collection of which number no le than 00 clipping. hen made familiar with the fact, the newpaper from aine to California, from the Great Lake to the Gulf, and from ahington to lorida, with rare exception, demanded the abrogation of the reaty. o thi powerful voice, raied in the caue of jutice and in de-

5 VI PREACE fene of American citizenhip, Congre gave willing heed. he hearing given to the American Jewih Committee and other organization by the Houe Committee on oreign Affair and the enate Committee on oreign Eelation were o full, and the argument were preented in o convincing a manner, that the Congre wa moved to take practically unanimou action favoring the abrogation of the reaty, which, by notice of Preident aft, tendered to Euia on the th of December,, brought to an end from and after January,, the principal intrument binding the United tate with Ruia. ithout the door of Congre, the mot ignificant ingle event in connection with the reaty-abrogation movement wa the great ma meeting held on December,, at Carnegie Hall, under the aupice of the National Citizen' Committee of which Andrew D. hite, formerly initer to Ruia and Ambaador to Berlin, wa Preident, and illiam G. cadoo wa Chairman of the Executive Committee. a meeting were held in other citie a well, and were addreed by men of ditinction, but none had the national importance of the Carnegie Hall meeting. If the paport quetion reached a culmination, gratifying to Jew the world over, the ame cannot be aid of the attempt at the paage in Congre of bill aimed at retricting immigration. hough it ha been the traditional policy of the country merely to regulate and never to retrict immigration except in the cae of the Chinee the Dillingham Bill which paed the enate wa a trongly retrictionit meaure with many harh proviion. In the Houe Committee on Immigration, the Burnett Bill, ubjecting all immigrant to an educational tet, wa ubtituted for the Dillingham Bill,

6 PREACE VII and favorably reported to the Houe. At thi writing, no action ha a yet been taken upon the bill, but if it fail at thi eion of Congre, it will unquetionably come up again at the next eion, and the friend of the immigrant mut be prepared for another contet, to prevent him from being hut out of the country. hough the United tate Immigration Commiion, appointed under the act of 0, did not report any bill, it recommended the retriction of immigration, and advocated a reading and writing tet a the mot feaible ingle method of carrying out it recommendation. or thi propoed reveral of the traditional policy of the country the immene and undigeted ma of micellaneou data gathered by the Commiion furnihe no jutification. A ha been freely admitted by it own expert, the Commiion collected a much greater ma of material than there wa opportunity properly to examine, and when forced by Congre to conclude the invetigation at a definite date, it made haty generalization, which it own collection of material doe not warrant. he immigration quetion i till a preing one, therefore, and it i afe to ay that more will be recorded about it in ubequent YEAR BOOK. A before, it give me pleaure to make acknowledgment of the helpful uggetion received from i Henrietta zold and Dr. Cyru Adler. HERBER RIEDENALD. NE YORK, JULY 0,.
