If you ask me why the splendid resources and fruitful fields: of the Sunny South have never yielded the fullness -of their riches to their inhabitants. and why in many ways they lag behind their northern sisterhood of Statesi I answer you bluntly because. discouraging and discrediting the newcomers. you have missed the new blood and brain and brawn you. need most urgently to give a new stili ulus. a new vigor. a fresh reinforcement to your human forces. You have fought the laws of nature and you. have paid the penalty. you have deceived yourselves with the follies of provincialism. with the vain conceits you termed race pride. and with. empty claims. of superiority to. races that in the fields of human endeavor have been outclassed by none. Judge the newcomer by his fruits. by his contributions to our national life. and you will learn that the last immigrant to America is as goodto put it modestlyas the first. We need. new blood. Mr.
