The author examines and compares the immigration acculturation philosophies of Europe and the United States. He finds that "present problems throughout Europe show the enormous difficulty of accepting foreigners for countries whose nationhood depends on the ideal common ancestry. The United States on the whole has been heterogeneous almost from the start, and has had unprecedented success in making a community out of culturally heterogeneous elements." Recommendations for future research are included.
