From these figures the following conclusions may be drawn:

1. The German element forms at present the largest part of the population of the United States.

2. The German element is twice as large as the Anglo-Saxon and more numerous than the Anglo-Saxon and the American together.

3. The Anglo-Saxon and the American element together form thirty-seven percent of the entire population; the Teutonic element (Germans, Scandinavians and Dutch) forty-three percent.

4. The entire part of the population that may be designated as of Germanic origin together with the American element comprises fifty-three and one-half millions or eighty percent of the white inhabitants of the country.

And these conclusions lead to the others:

1. The claim that the American people is preeminently an English or Anglo-Saxon people is without foundation in fact.

2. An immigration of at least forty millions of non-Germanic people is necessary in order to overcome the preponderance of the Germanic element in the United States.
