Some of them are so grave as to defy solution by our best and wisest statesmen. The South is confronted with an ageold problem. Out on the Pacific coast are the advance guards of the hordes of a more populous race. presenting possibilities so serious and farreaching as to make us wonder whether our Government is not still in its experimental stages and whether it can ride the waves of Asiatic immigration. From the southeast of Europe and from western Asia comes another tide of immigration. bringing with it problems perhaps deeper and darker still. and out of them all. Mr. President. have emerged those unsettled conditions which we characterize as difficulties between capital and labor. between wealth and opportunity. and which may carry within their bosoms the seeds of internal destruction.
