GOVERNMENT
DESIRES NEW RACE

PANAMA. July 2S.-Q. n. 81
The government of Panama has sent
special immigration agents to Czecho
Slovakia, Austria, italy, Spain and the
Canaries to induce farmers from those
countries to come to Panama.
The government has begun the con-
struction of two hundred miles of
highways in the most fertile parts OF
the interior, and intends to follow with
several hundred miles more, with the
idea of opening up the country. But
after the roads are built construction
has been begun and the money is in
hand to pay the bills) they will not
be used unless new inhabitants are
brought into the country
The native of Panama has his own
farm and is living on it very content
edly, under primitive conditions IN
most cases, but conditions which are
we'll adapted TO the tropics and whlch
suit him. He works little but lives
well. His surplus produce is such
as can conveniently be carried to
seaport on mule back, and he enjoys
the weekly trip to the village,
But such people cannot develop
country because they are too busy en-
joying life. The idea of the govern
ment is to induce immigration of eN-
oerienced farmers from the south Of
europe. who are also hard workers,
.ssign them land, secure them in their
title, and even assist them with I'M
dement's and seed for the first few
ears.
AS white men these people will soon
disappear, as white men are bound to

will mix with the brown natives, ana
his mixture makes a strong race wei
dapted to the heat and bright light.
This mixed race, known as morenos,

panama at the present time, and the
overnment had in mind a far-seeing
olicy OF perpetuating it,
