But the di- rec,Ioa assumed ny ;le flow ol emi- grafton was guided by the magne- tic attraction Of free land.
 The era of free land has passed as far as the United States is con ceracd. Today the land, to all in tents and purposes is taken up. Landlordism with all its peculiar characteristics so long known to Europeans is thriving today iu Am- erica. The majority ot farmers to- day are tenant farmers and the mass have their property morteaged to such an extent as to signify that tayy are in real fact if not nomi- naUy tenants to the mortgagers.
 1t is quite true that there will be lots ot opportunity for work in Am erica after the war. It is however to be pointed out that for the past score years and more the labor mar ket in the United States has been showing a greater proportion of un- employed than iu many older ma tons Certainly far greater than France where the workers and pea sants adopted malthusian methods to prevent an increase in the number ol propcrtileas and peuuilces wage workers Certainly more than il Germany where d judicioUs co@ai- lion of Aalcyol-,+ f-ude1',n com relfed the cv,u r... a~trl and labor 7upp).-..at .- .ar Ger r1uv up to and exactly syGel.roa- aus with the outbreak of tA- war.

 In Siberia great forests, immense plains of valuable agricultural land rolling lands adapted to easy culti vGtion and provided with avery na. tural requirement. for the production of human food, all indicate witt some degree Of certainty that in thC next era after the war Siberia vii be fer the rest of the goth Ccnturl what the United States has been foi the greater nart of the 10th cen tury.
