President Raganowicz has made two
trips to Poland himself to address hese
meetings n confer with the leaders of
the movement there, and has persuaded
many other naturalized American Poles
of means to follow his example. On each
trip he has ira yelled in the steerage In order
to observe at first hand the treatment
accorded Polish immigrants by the steam
chip companies.
The tendency Of natural born Ameri-
cans to leave the farms and go to the cities
Ia just what is going to make the problem
OF securing land for Polish immigrants
easier he said. Il was a farmer bow in
Poland, and | know that the Poles make
tust as good farmers as any race under
the sun.
The rate at which the Poles are immiRrat-
ing to America has almost do,,hlad aimee
the recent prosecutions by the Russian
Government started. Last year more than
10000 came to America, n IL the increase
Keeps up for the remaining months OF the
year more than 100, 900 will nave landed at
Ellis Island between january and Deem
Der this year.
The commissioner OF Agriculture and
immigration in Virginia, Tennessee, North
and South Carolina and other States further
south have taken such a keen interest in
the Polish farm colonies that | have been
advising my countrymen to go to the South,
and for the further reason that the land
there can be secured on easier terms than
In the West.
Nearly every Pole who comes to America
has enough money to buy outright n farm
Of moderate size. Those who haven't
up enough money to buy can rent.
Their thrifty habits will make them owners
Of the land in a short time anyhow"
The Polish National Alliance, which has
Its headquarters In Chicago and is a con-
of Polish societies in America,
with more than 800, 5000 members, is also
the agricultural plan by advising
zach member to do missionary work with
his relatives in Poland by mail.
