high cost of living can nevr suffice to
remedy the congested conditions if tn
Influx of foreigners continues to main
tain the pace set last year. Approxj-
mately, the number of arrivals during
the fiscal year ended last June rose to
100000, an increase over the previous
year Of $4,000.
Not since seven years ago has this
showing been exceeded. and inasmuch
as the newcomers have remained in
larger numbers than heretofore, the
net gain of $4,000 in population from
that source is actually the largest eve-
recorded. As most of the immigrants
locate in the large centers Of popula-
ton. the readjustment Of farm and city
population to the old basis still would
leave much to be desired. And also
since it is stated officially that th4
back to the farm" flight from the
cities has had no noticeable effect in
relieving conditions due to concenra-

The new regulations arise from the

poultry farms were being conducted
for a profit in spite Of the limited
