February 5, 1917, is amended by adding in the eighteenth line after the words "at any time after entry," the following words: "Any alien who shall be found to be a professional or a habitual gambler, any alien who shall be found to own, rent, or lease premises used as a place of gambling, and any alien employed in any capacity in connection with a place of gambling." SEC. 6. That the first five lines of section 29 of the Act of February 5, 1917, are amended to read as follows: "SEC. 29. That the President of the United States is authorized, in the name of the Government of the United States, to call an international conference, to assemble not later than the year 1922, and in his discretion, not oftener than decennially thereafter, at such point as may be agreed upon, or to send special commissioners to any foreign country, for the purpose of regulating by international agreement." SEC. 7. That the fourth paragraph of section 4 of the Act of June 29, 1906, entitled "An Act to establish a Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization and to provide a uniform rule for the naturalization of aliens throughout the United States," is amended so as to read as follows: "Fourth. It shall be made to appear to the satisfaction of the court admitting any alien to citizenship that immediately preceding the date of his application he has resided continuously within the United States five years at least, and within the State or Territory where such court is at the time held one year at least, and that during that time he has behaved as a man of good moral character, attached to the principles of the Constitution of the United States, and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the same. It shall also be made to appear to the satisfaction of the court that said alien is able to speak the English language as specified in section 8 of the Act of June 29, 1906, is able to read and understand the textbook on citizenship authorized by the Immigration Board, as provided for in section la (9), of this Act, and accepts the ideals and principles therein persented. In the case, however, of aliens who show themselves qualified in all other respects and who on entering the United States were already thirty-five years of age or over, or who during their residence in the United States did not live in places providing aliens with facilities for acquiring the English language, the requirement of ability to read the English language may be waived at the discretion of the court. addition to the oath of the applicant, the testimony of at least two witnesses, citizens of the United States, as to the facts of residence, moral character, and attachment to the principles of the Constitution shall be required and the name, place of residence, and occupation of each witness shall be set forth in the record." In SEC. 8. That the Act of February 18, 1875, amending the Act of July 14, 1870, is amended to read as follows: "The privilege of citizenship by naturalization is open to every alien who fulfills all the intellectual, moral, and technical requirements of the law." SEC. 9. That this Act shall take effect and be enforced on and after its passage. All prior acts, or parts of acts inconsistent with any provision of this Act, or with any treaty obligations of the United States of America, are hereby repealed on and after the taking effect of this Act. REVIEWS Book Department LOWIE, ROBERT H. Primitive Society. Pp. viii, 463. Price, $3.00. New York: Boni and Liveright, 1920. The author, an ethnologist, connected with the American Museum of Natural History of New York, is entirely correct in his opening claim that students of the social sciences have long felt the need of a concise and accurate account of the culture of the peoples we call primitive. The reviewer, a teacher of Sociology, is one of a large group who are grateful to Dr. Lowie for his service in writing this book. Beginning with marriage and the family, the author continues his account of social organizations, through the various kinship groups and other forms of associations to property, government and the administration of justice. In all places many illustrations are given from the four quarters of the earth. The reader is shown the wonderful wealth and diversity of social forms. The reader of the entire book will be quite willing to accept the author's view that social evolution has not followed any given course. The attempts of the research students to explain the phenomena are critically stated and discussed. The layman, indeed, may think that the author spends too much time in this fashion and wish that he had stated his own explanations with less attention to the opinions of others. Taking all things into consideration, the author has been wise in his choice of method. Although the mass of detail will bring its own difficulties to the reader, the author's thought is always clear. Technical expressions are abundant, as might be expected, and unless the reader is pretty familiar with ethnological terms the dictionary will be needed. Dr. Lowie has performed a real service in making clear how complex the life of more primitive peoples of today is. We have been so accustomed to think of the savage as leading an extremely simple life that it is well for us to realize how many and varied the social relations are into which he enters It is well to be told in this convincing fashion that in countless cases the bread and butter question is not the dominant influence in his life. We might have been spared many one-sided historical theories had the authors been more familiar with the facts given by our author. In my judgment this book will be found extremely helpful and valuable. CARL KELSEY. University of Pennsylvania. NOTES FRIDAY, DAVID. Profits, Wages and Prices. Pp. iv, 256. Price, $2.00. New York: Harcourt, Brace and Howe, 1919. This book covers the extraordinary growth of profits during the war period, the uses to which profits were put, the trend in the rate of interest and wages, the division of the products among those who have shared in bringing them forth, the trend of prices since the Armistice, the effect of the new taxes on prices and how real wages may be raised. The author marshals his facts with skill. His style is interesting and all that he has to say important. It is very refreshing to find such a sane presentation of matters at a time when all those who want somebody else to pay the taxes are spending huge sums in propaganda to get their ideas across.
