If the great wealth of this Nation was not controlled by selfish. greedy men. and if the great opportunities of this Nation were opened up to the toiling men of the Nation. The gentleman knows that in his own State of Washington there are acres and acres of valuable timber to be cut. hundreds of mines to be opened. dams to be built.-bridges to be constructed. and with that unlimited field of human opportunity he has the effrontery to stand up and ask the question. Would It not be necessary for the Government to find employment for immigrants coming to our shores? What kind of statesmanship is it in this great arena that we possess In this country that allows so many men to remain out of employment? Why. gentlemen. in the State of Washington alone there are untold resources sufficient to give employment to every man who with wistful eyes in Europe turns this way hoping for an opportunity to make a home for himself and family.
