* AV0 WMk CONGRESS FACES BIG QUESTIONS Problem of Immigration To Front? Dial Already Active Washington, Nov. 18.?One of the first and most important questions affecting th$ people of the Soathern states which will come before congress soon after its assembling, will be that of whether more immigrants?those from Holland, Belgium and other desirable seclions?shall be admitted to the Unied States or whether plans of cer*? - n-P nAnflrroce fn fnrt.lipr ttllll IUC1IIUCIO U1 restrict such entries shall prevail. There are two districts fines of thought prevalent as to this qiies Con. Senator Dial of South Carolina, a practical planter of many years experience, has- for sometime past been conducting private negotiations with a view to locating in the South x large number of the best farm laborers from Holland, who are desirous of coming to the United States. They are said to be reliable, sturdy ?ud dependable on the farms and just at this time when negro help: is badly demoralized and difficulties' to obtain at any price, it is believed, that the peopling in the South of several thousand of these Holland/ ers might solve the problem. *** ? - 1 1 ine DOUUn l^uiuniia acuawi naoi seen much of the difficulty in the present day situation and thoroughly realizes that it may be sometime before the negTo help question Is settled satisfactorily in the South. His negotiations have not yet reached such a point that anything definite had developed but good progress is being made. Opposed to this plan will be many Western congressmen led by Representative Albert Johnson, of Washington state, chairman of the house committee on immigration, who will Jfer bills as soon as congress meets placing stringent restrictions upon immigration. t These Westerners, probably seeing the "yeH?w peril"?the too lax admission of Japanese laborers?advance as the compelling reason why immigration should be more closely watched is that in the hordes of immigrants are already arriving at American ports, ar? a large number af undesirables who'are coming and with the intention of adapting themselves to American customs and institutions, .but with an intent to propogate radicalism and foiAent Sseorfl.

There are many naturalized Americans who w^sb to bring their families here and there are other would-be Americans who had not completed their citizenship when they went back to their native lands to take part in the war. Other instances could be cited where hardships would be worked by the complete suspension of immigration. Many valuable lessons touching this matter are to be had from the war. It proved for the thing that the great majority of ailens who joined the loyalty to the government. But there are many instances on record showing where thousands come merely for the money they get, the larger part of which they send home. This is to prove a tough propositon to handle so that desirable persons may come to our farm land and undesirables kept out, and I congress is soon to tackle the job. i i rtrola Tianksgiving pier time for Thanksgiving < itest artists add their isure.
