Immigration Problems. By Victor Safford '9O, New York: Dodd, Mead and Company, 1925. 280 pp.

This book is the fruit of a long experience as a Medical Officer in the Immigration Service. The author who writes in a clear and attractive style sets forth with a wealth of anecdotal detail the difficulties attending the administration of our immigration laws. His period of service at Ellis Island included the peak of the great wave of immigration which culminated in 1907; this was likewise the period of ever tightening restrictions, and, one is compelled to add, of ever keener effort on the part of those seeking by every means in their power to gain admission to the United States. The book is valuable as a revelation of the obstacles and difficulties which are encountered in the enforcement of the law in the face of pressure from within and from without. The chapter on "The Medical Examination of Aliens," which deals with the writer's own specialty, is one of the most interesting and effective in the book.
