Sobre este artículo
Boston: The Page Company, 1921. Second Printing. Octavo. Blue cloth boards, lettered in gilt on spine and with applied pictorial cover illustration; xiv, 307pp; frontispiece + 15 inserted leaves of photographic plates (halftones). Slight lean to binding; minor edge-rubbing to boards; a tight, Very Good copy. Nativist polemic, warning against the flood of European immigrants following the First World War as being of a generally degenerate and disease-carrying character as well as bearers of ideologies antithetical to red-blooded Americanism -- communism and anarchism in particular. Weiss, himself a German immigrant, was a one-time Special Investigator for the Immigration Service who had advocated "extra-legal" methods for keeping undesirable aliens from entering the country.
