IMMIGRANTS WANTED,
SAY THE CAROLINIANS
Both Tar Heel State and Her Southern Sister Ready to
Place Two Hundred Thousand Foreigners if They

Just to show that il isn't worried
about the alleged dangers that unre-
stricted foreign Immigration TO this
country is going TO subyert our institp-
tions, the State of North Carolina has
fled application for 200.10G OF the irnmi-
grants who are expected to arrive in

its a long time between immigration
ships. Both States figure that they are
full or Opportunities, and need nothing
SO much as people 10 turn these into

Ulous and fun of industries while il
was receiving the stream OF foreigners,

complish anything in the nature or di-
recting the immigration stream after il

Mr. Lucas explained that his State
not only fels able 10 handle 100000 i'm

we couldn't place them all in q single
