It will be noted that the three leading races in number of immigrants were the South Italians, Hebrews, and Poles, in the order named. TABLE 5.—IMMIGRATION AND EMIGRATION OF LEADING RACES: 1908-1923.

For all races, including those not listed separately in Table 5, the net immigration, or immigration less emigration, equals about sixty-five per cent of gross immigration. The tendency to emigrate is far from equal in the several races or peoples. In general, the percentage of permanent residents is high for the Hebrews and the races of northern and western Europe and low for the races of southern and eastern Europe except the Hebrews.
