We can accommodate a population of 500.000.000 people. Is it not necessary to have men come to our shores in order that this land may be developed and that they may contribute toward the material upbuilding of the country? Let us go back. if you please. to 1840. and consider what was done by the immigrants who came from 1840. say. to 1870 or 1880. Were not these men the ones who were employed in the construction of our railroads. telegraph lines. telephone lines. and other public utilities? Were they not the men who built and worked in our factories and settled upon the farms in the great West?
