S. Bu reau of Immigration, 681 African aliens departed from the United States during the seven months’ period end ing January 31, 1925. This number is 154 more than 527, the number of African immigrants which landed in the United States during the same period. This showing indicates that African people are, to some extent, following the trend of the Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Croatian, and other peoples, whose tendency is to return to their homelands in greater numbers than those that are leaving; while the English, French, German and Mex ican people are flooding the gates of the United States for entrance.
