The removal of nations across the ocean is a mighty task. even with all our modern facilities. Yet I regard it as by no means impossible. First of all. the negro must be convinced that it is to his interest to emigrate thither. Then the best of the race must act as pioneers of the movement. for on the success of the first emigrants will depend largely the future success of the effort. That the separation of the races must eventually take place is to my mind a foregone conclusion. How it may be effected with the best results for both is the problem. * * * In an article of mine in the October number of the Magazine of American History I have traced from old MSS. time story of tie coming of the negro to Georgia. and much of the narrative applies to the other colonies. As before said. only the bestnegroes should be ttie pioneers in any emigration enterprise. The lazy and thriftless would send back doleful accounts from El Dorado and Paradise even. were it possible. and so discourage future emigratian. I believe in Government aid to the enterprise. furnished annually and under strict limitations. until the work shall be accomplished. or at least shall reach an independent footing. Many years must be required for the task.
