IMMIGRANTS WE NEED

William SlavenS McNutt in Leslfe's.
Most of Europe wants to come here
as soon as possible. Most of the
Europeans who want TO come we do
not need at the present time. As
things stand right now we certainly
do not need a flood of unskilled or
semi-skilled factory hands, nor vet
mob of petty traders. We may need
them some day, but we do not need
them just now.
We do need farmers. We need lots
Of farmers We still have 400. 900, 900
acres of undeveloped farm lands. Ma
tive Americans or today will not
stand the hard graft of developing
those lands. Who will2 Europ cans

the Interior under President Wilson.
estimated that there was room
enough in this country right now for
100,ooo,o00 more people If we put
them on undeveIoped farm lands and
on desert lands that It Is possible
for the government to irrigate at
cost that he believed to be within
hounds
Ali right. Then we will accept
only farmers from Europe for a time:
only men who wish TO settle on the
soil
Fine business! How are they going
to settle on the soil when they have
not sufficient cash with them to set
tie for one broken-cown plug horse
and secondhand spike-tooth har-
row with all the spikes gone? Immi-
grants who come to US now from the
countries that the war has impovsr-
ished do not come with bank rolls
Zig enough TO get them started on
farms on their own or on properties
that they might rent.
I think hear someone say that we
could not afford to help the immi-
grant get started on a farm No?
