Difficulty Overcome.
The chief dificulty heretofore has
been the indifference OF the southern
people towards immigration. Indeed,
the subject has been unpopular in
some quarters, primarily in respect to
foreigners. In Georgia a slogan was
raised: Georgia for Georgians." This
indifference or open opposition has
largely aborted previous immigration
plans. Even where there was no de-
clared opposition to foreigners. there
was no popular interest in bringing
more people into the community. The
returning home OF one OF the neigh
boris boys was Of more local concern
than the coming Of ten new people into
the community.

having its human interest value,
