JISTRIBUTION OF IMMIGRATION
The weakest feature of our immi
gration system has been failure to dis
tribute the volume of incoming labor
*o points where most needed.
Masses of immigrants in the past
lave been allowed to congest in the
arge cities instead of being rapidly
assimilated by wide distribution.
The immigration department has
now adopted the policy of helping im
migrants to find empoyment in our
country where labor is most needed.
Proper distribution of immigrant
labor will be found to be a remedy for
some of the economic ills of our coun
try and Americanize the immigrant
Immigrants are to he distributed
/oiuntarily by classification such as
t'arm hands,-fruit pickers, timber and
factory workers.
- State government, chambers of com
merce and farmer organisations an to
supply information direct and immi
grants are to be sent where most need
