Jung, director Of the recently organ
lied government bureau of migration.
It will take ten years to transport
the emigrants, according to Herr
Jung. Bad economic conditions, result
ing from the war, are responsible for
the wholesale exodus.
The big German steamship compa-
MES already have began booking pas
sages for the prospective emigrants.
The Hamburg-Amerika line alone,
according to Carl y%ogelsang, director
of the Berlin office, has a waiting list
of 400 families destined for the United
States and South America.
But, of course, we cannot begin

industrious and thrifty Germans.
Furthermore, the political radical
ism Of Russia has a peculiar appeal
to the mind of the German working
man. He feels that Russia is the only
country where capital does not prey
upon labor.
