he remaining problem for the utili
zation of this wealth, he says, has to
do with its fair distribution after it
has been produced.
"We have successfully combatted
every tropical disease," he says, "and
have shown that the man from the
temperate zone can live and work
near the equator with a fair degree
of comfort and entire safety, if he
follows reasonable precautions.
"Our success is certain to turn at
tention to the tremendous agricul
tural possibilities of certain regions
that have heretofore had scanty de
velopment, owing to the white man's
fear of climatic diseases. Two trop

"While modern sanitation can
solve the question of labor for the
development of the tropics, I doubt
if such enterprise would be worth
while under prevailing systems of
land ownership. The worker and the
consumer would benefit little, if any,
by abundant production. The land
owner would get the lion's share.
"Low wages in themselves create
problems of sanitation. Feudal con
ditions of land tenure in the tropics
are quite as responsible for disease
as is the climate. If I were to pre
scribe the best sanitary measure for
any locality, I would say to double
wages. , A tax on land values big
enough to prevent land speculation
and stop individual? and corpora

rents, is the best means that I can
suggest to increase the worker's
share."
