HUSBAND PLANS TO PUT
z, IMMIGRANTS ON FARMS
New Commissioner General An
nounces Scheme to Divert Aliens
From Crowded Cities.

". W. Husband. new commissioner
general of immigrs ton, who succeeds
Anthony Caminetti as head of the i'm
migration service, yesterday announced
plans TO divert immigrants from the
cities and industrial centers and to CO.
ordinate agencies of the departments of
Interior. Agriculture and Labor to place
the new arrivals on small farms. Mr.
Husband was sworn in yesterday.
The new commissioner general made
public a plan approved by Secretary of
Labor Davis. which he said would help
solve the immigration problem. and at
the same time correct the economic SIT
uation arising from the flow of popula-
tion to the large cities
There is land enough in this country
for millions of small farms, Commis-
sioner Husband said.
'Our plan is not to replace American
farmers with foreigners, but to create
new farms and make new farmers,
thereby increasing the resources OF the
nation.
.'The ma jority of our immigrants are
peasants and essentially farmers
Our plan is not to scatter these peo-
pie out in sparsely settled sections and
put them up against the problems that
our pioneers went through Neither do
we plan to start foreign settlement COM
munties.
by handling the immigration problem
in this manner we will do away with the
red danger.
Our employment service. which has
been shot at so often. but which the
Congress saw fit to continue. can be
made to be a great aid to the immi-
grafton service.
