ANOTHER MIGRATION
OF THE MENNONITES
THAT SECT is NEGOTIATING
FOR 171,O0O ACRES OF FARM
LAND IN MINNESOTA.

Twenty thousand Mennonites, long
settled in Manitoba, whose pacihsm
aroused the wrath of the Canadian
people during the war; are preparing
to migrate to Minnesota. They are ne
gotiating for the purchase of l71,000
acres Of land on which they propose
to establish farms. AS the result OF an
investigation of the plan by the state
immigration department, Governor
Burnquist has extended the Mennon-
ties hearty invitation to make Min
nesota their home.
If the United States has long
period of peace the Mennonites will
come to be looked upon despite their
refusal to participate in the affairs of
the government as fairly good citi-
zens. In view of their prompt payment
of taxes and their obedience to the
laws their unwillingsness to have any
thing to do with the courts, to hold
Office, or to serve in the militia, prob
ably will be overlooked. They are
thrifty, Industrious folk, and no doubt
will make the wilderness where they
propose to settle blossom like the rose.
Let war break out, however, and
there is not much reason to believe
that the attitude of the Minnesota peo-
pie toward the Mennonites will be diff
ferent from that of the Canadians. For
the Mennonites are of the most ex-
IRENE type of conscientious DIRECTORS
to war. They will not fight under any
provocation. Rather than bear arms
they will undergo imprisonment or
even torture. This has been demon
strated repeatedly during the four
centuries of their history. Theft pacif-
ism has been the cause of their
numerous migrations. They have been
prosecuted in every century and in
nearly every country in which they
have sought refuge. One or two lead
ers, notably Napoleon, thought it best
to grant them immunity from compul-
sorry service.
The United States adopted during
the war what was probably the best
plan for dealing with these people.
The Mennonites and all other con-
scientious directors who were drafted
were offered the opportunity to en-
gage in non-combatant military SER
vice, and if they refused even to wear
the uniform were given a further
chance to serve the country by work
ing on farms for the pay of private
in the army, the remainder OF the
wages allowed them by the farmers
employing them going to the govern
ment But this system was objected
to by many Americans as being too
