DO WE NEED IMMIGRATION?
"A State is Not Made Great by Mum.
bers But Ey The Quality OF
Its CitiZenShiD.''

To the EditOr:~I notice in your is
sue of Wednesday that the Raleigh
Chapter of the Junior Order is opposed
to the bill now pending in the legis-
Iaturc TO encourage Immigration. But
you say that the council is mistaken.
But is not the council exactly right:
You say much land is lying idle be-
cause of the scarcity of labor" this
is true, but is this an evil, With
plenty of labor TO cultivate the idle
fields the cotton crop of the South
would have exceeded fifteen million
bales, which would have been worth
certainly not more than five cents per
pound. And with all the. idle fields in
the trucking belt in cultivation, our
work would not bring enough to pay
the freight. WHY should we tax our
selves to bring about this result? The
cry now is TO reduce the acreage ana
The output Of cotton. How can this be
done except by reducing the force
labor unless we make the labor
less effective? The land of the South
IS capable Of producing 100 mllio.
| bales of cotton. and Eastern North
Carolina can produce more straWber-
rieS than the entire world can con
sumo. With plenty of labor engaged
in making cotton and truck crops. the
crops would have no value. sand the
land will become worthless. and the
laDOrefS pauperS.
You say zone of the chief complaints
among farmers during the past yeai
has been the scarcity of labor But
the chief complaint now is that we
made more cotton than the world viii
pay living price for. and with an
abundance of labor how much more
it would have been?
Suppose all the lands III the berry
belt should be developed as they are
around Chadbourn in Columbus coun-
ty. We would have the poorest county
on earth. China. according to the
ideas OF the average newspaper. is the
model country. but We prefer razor
back bacon to rat soup.
What does q scarcity OF labor mean
Nothing more than that there is de-
mand for labor which enables the IN
borer TO get Il fair price for his Work,
No country is. or can be prosperous,
unless there is q scarcity Of labor.
When the man who laDors in the
field is well paid. tie lawyers. the
merchant and the doctor viii all ;lp
will. The problem of the hour is not
to find more labor but to find more
profitable employment for the labor
of our own people. \ State is not
made great by numbers, but by the
quality of its citizenship.

Mainly il is to secure a reduction III
the quantity of cotton produced This
can only he done by decreasing the
quantity of labor or BY decreasing it,
