Seeking immigration for Virginia

The Times has more than once
called attention to the fact that with
million immigrants coming 10 these
shores annually there is active de
mand for more Whether this is
well or i'll, need not be discussed
now; for the fact stands that different
sections of the country are actually
engaged in sharp competition for
the location of the newcomers.
The South especially is awaken
ing to realization that it gets far
less than its share of immigration.
and that its Industrial development
would be hastened if il were able TO
secure more of the better class of
immigrants. The labor problem is
a serious one there, where develop
ing industry IS creating a demand
for a different class of workers than
the country has been able to secure.
1t is in this view of the immigra-
ton question that favorable interest
must be attracted to the proposal
of Commissioner OF Agriculture
koiner, of Virginia, who wants to
get the best class of immigration for
his State, and who has investigated
and convinced himself that there is
a great field here Of both philanthrop-
&c and industrial opportunity He
finds that London is full of unem-
ployed workers, without whom Lon
don and England would be better.
He finds that Virginia has a vast
acreage of fertile lanes. uncultivated
or only half cultivated, because
there is not labor at hand; he is
convinced that the English nation,
the State of Virginia ana the labor
ers themselves would all be vastly
better of if these idle IabOrers could
be transplanted to these idle acres.
Mr.. KoineT went to headquarters
with his proposal. He interested the
lord mayor of London in it, Now
he Is undertaking to interest the Vir-
ginia Legislature in it, and expects
to succeed. The possibilities Of this
movement can hardly be overesti-
mated. In the first place il looks
TO the establishment of a co-opera-
tive supervision of immigration, in
which the two countries concerned
shall work together Each has a
proper interest in the immigrant;
the one. that he shall not move
without bettering himself; the other.
that he shall not be received unless
there is assurance that he will be a
desirable addition to the community.
Italy was the first nation to mani
fest al intelligent interest in behalf
of its migrating citizens, and its
work, though in the initial stages. is
producing good results. The Italian
government recognizes frankly that
