OF the South to European countries
where there is q great demand for
them. This means saving of mill
ions OF dollars annually to the pro

lines now wasted in unnecessary
freight charges, and like saving
on the expectation of products from
these upon which much is likewise
wasted in freight charges that there
Is no necessity for paying. Pursuing
this plain business proposition. we
have realized it meant the estab.
ishment of the coveted transatlan-
tic service, and with such service
once established we would find our
immigration problem solved: that
for each ship there would be plenty
OF passengers offering, and that
would under State Department con-
troll our supply of immigration would
be full, making it necessary for our
representatives to do only selective
work
Any one familiar with European
customs and conditions will see this
at glance. In other words,
am convinced that the foundation
has been laid for select immigration
into the South in continuous
stream, without the necessity of
