GOVERNMENT ,al''I AID IN DEvEL.
's 20 MENT WORK

Inc latest move of the Northwest
development League is to ask the fed
eral government to collect, publish in
different languages and distribute 10
foreigners as soon as they arrive on
our shores all the information possible
ABOUT the states having vacant lands.
about their products and the opportun-
lt1es awaiting family willing to work
and having only small means.
10 accomplish this the League is
backing a bill introduced in the Uni
ted States Senate by Senator Brown OF
Nebraska which amends the act to
regulate the admission Of aliens into
the United States and makes it obliga-
tory on the part of the General lmmi.
grafton Commissioner to give this in
formation to foreigners when they are
admitted to the United States. The
League is asking Congressman PRAY.
OF Montana, to push the bill in the
House and to introduce one making
an appropriation to carry out the pro-
visions of the act.
The Secretary of Commerce and La.
Dor is understood to be favorable to
the proposition and willing to make a
success of the campaign if the bills
are passed.
Another clause in the amendment
makes it lawful for agents of states
and territories to have access to
aliens at the ports where foreigners
are admitted and gives them the pri-
vilege, under certain regulations, of
presenting the claims of such states
and territories either in writing or or
ally that the aliens may learn first
hand where they can go to farm.
Many of these immigrants were
farmers in the old country and would
go to farms instead of to cities if they
had some information from reliable
source when they first come to the
country" says the Secretary of the
league The trouble is they do not
get the information until after they
become acquainted in some city anG
are stripped Of the means to start on
lands. Many of them have the re-
sources when they arrive but spend
their Ees last dollar before they discover
that itsswould have been possible for
them to have secured land. Then they
are hopelessly bound to the city and it
is hard for them to get again as much
as they had when they arrived

better in the way of equipment
and service than the present SER
vice and equipment that we feel
we have accomplished beneficial
results, and that the time will not
be far distant before We may be
