The data in Table 47 furnish a first approximation of the relative degree to which the immigration of various races is checked by business depression. For example, the depression of 1908 evidently had a relatively slight effect on English and Irish immigration, but reduced the Polish and Italian immigration to less than half that of the preceding year. Whether these differences are merely peculiar to the particular depression years selected or are characteristic of general tendencies may be determined somewhat more completely by examination of Chart 38, which shows the movement of the immigration of selected CHART 38 FLucTuATIONS IN IMMIGRATION, BY RACE: 1899-1914.
