10. To right down to the point, EUROPE TO-DAY
HAS NO REFUGEE PROBLEM HER PROBLEM is
STRICTLY ONE OF OVER-POPULATION. There a
than six million people there who
not find ganful employment and who looking elsewhere
for opportunities in which to pioneer. Our forefathers
came to these shores period of many years as
pioneers. My grandparents came to this country
from Norway hundred years ago and shall for
get the tales they told during the long winter evenings
about the hardhps they had endured but how happy and
they had been because they had found
tunites for way of fe But those frontiers have
long since disappeared and in opinion the over-pop
uated people in Europe look elsewhere for relief
And they do have to look far do they have to
search long Here countries who need them and
them Brazil has Million 800 thousand square
miles of territory; she has 81 million peope-5 persons
per square mile; Africa ha. IL Million, 500 600 square
miles of territory, 100 Million peope-14 persons per
square mle Canada has Million, 800 thousand square
miles of territory she has Ia million peope35
per square mile; Australia has Million square miles of
territory Million people-25 persons per square mile
All of them bidding for manpower to pioneer and de-
veop their billions of of land.
Now, please note the difference in country In
the United States is the smallest of these FIVE
tries. We have Million, 500 thousand square miles of
territory l60 million people-45 persons per square mile
With these facts in mind you will agree with
that WE afford to syphon off from Europe
other six million people who cannot obtain work
in Europe in spite Of the fact that have fed them
armed Them and rebuilt their Cities towns agricultural
and highways.
Strangely enough. they all want to the Unit

further develop their countries Three sessions day
held and out of this Conference many helpful sug
