Page:Slavs on southern farms (1914).pdf/5




 * Mr. LeRoy Hodges, counselor of the bureau of economics and public efficiency, and assistant counselor of the bureau of immigration of The Southern Commercial Congress, has prepared a manuscript on the subject “Slavs on Southern Farms,” the same being an account of the Bohemian, Slovak, and Polish settlements in the Southern States. In view of the immigration possibilities resulting from the European war and of the public interest that attaches thereto, I have the honor to submit this manuscript to you, with the request that it be presented to the Congress of the United States for publication as a public document.

Respectfully submitted.
