INVESTIGATION
OF EMIGRATION
RECOMMENDED
Trained Workers Suggested
to Leave Sweden Instead
of Routine Laborers.
(Continued from Oue. I
11922, are unemployed and must to a
1 carta In extent be supported by the
, state.
One movement toward providing
more employment is the settlement
, and exploitation of undevelop" 1
' crown and church lands, especiafl?
in tho northern districts, but the
success lias so far been doubtful, and
the opponents of the plan point out
that an increase in the number of
farmers will eventually mean a
smaller income per capita.
Dr. Molin thinks that the time is
ripe for government investigation of
emigration with a view toward its
control. He deplores tlie haphazard
methods which at present obtain in
most countries. Thus, for example,
industrial workers often emigrate
and try their, fortunes at farming,
adding their own inexperience to the
i difficulties of work under new con
ditions in a new country. He also
j considers it unwise for persons ac
customed to li cold or temperate cli
mate 'to undertake hard physical la
i bor in a tropical country.
American immigration laws will in
1 the future, it is believed, restrict the
1 stream of emigrants from Sweden.
