FLOCK TO CANADA'
Immigrants of High Order Set
tling on Western Plains.
Removal of Restrictions Necessary Dur
Ing the War Has Shown World's
Faith in Dominion's Future.
For'n period during tho Into war,
and for a while after Its close, thero
was put Into operation by the Canadian
government legislation restricting cer
tain classes and people of the countries
which were not lined up with the allied
nations from being admitted to Canada.
This was quite necessary, and the rea
sons for It will be so apparent that
they need not he given However, the
time came, In the early summer of this
year, when It was deemed possible to
remove some of these restrictions. It
was found that there were many who
came under their ruling tbnt wore of
u class that Canada needed and who
needed Camilla. The restrictions,
doubtless, were drastic, but were need
ful. The Hewn of their removal, sent
broadcast, has met with such a re
sponse as to give ample evidence that
they had not killed Interest in Canada,
nnd that faith In the Dominion as a
country whore n new existence, happy
and fruitful, was as complete ns ever.
As has been stnted by one writer deal
ing with this Mibjcct, "the opening oC
the doors a little wider .hns but dls
clo.K'd the dammed-up state of the,
stream, which, given freer release, Is
pouring In fuller force over the Do
minion." As to the moral effect of the legisla
tion that enabled these restrictions to
be carried out, It showed that wbilo
Canada was seeking settlers, Its lands
and Its homes were not Intended as a
shelter for those unable to meet tho
standard set as Cannda's laws of civ
ilization, the concessions which have
removed those restrictions still hnvo.
in view tho maintenance of this stand
ard, and those who are still ullowcd
In nro subject to the same require
ments that have prevailed for years.
As pointed out by the writer previously
quoted, "Canada has successfully Im
pressed on those countries from which
she draws her people that her prlmo
nnd crying need Is for those who will
go on Innd, nnd of those entering tho
country the bulk Is composed of agri
culturists. Every country which hns
formerly contributed to Canada's pop
ulation has resumed Its mission to its
shores.
"The lowering of the barriers has
had n farther-reaching effect than tho
entry Into the country of many for
merly debarred by reasons of flnnncltil
stringency. It has had a moral effect.
The restriction was rightly regarded
ns nn Indication of Canada's Internal
economic condition, nnd ninny persons
and families of comfortable means con
templating Canndlan settlement were,
discouraged from doing so. In the re
movnl is seen the first blush of tho
dawn of better days, and consequently;
mnny of those nrrlvlng are In n condi
tion to establish rapidly nnd wcurely.
"Though Cnnndlan Immigration falls
broadly into the two clnsses, British
and American, mnny European pcoplea
have contributed In n lnrge measure to
the agricultural development of tho
Western provinces, nnd It Is gratifying
to note the same healthy Interest in
Cannda evinced by the most dcslrnbla
of these.
"Amongst those from the European
countries nro Serbians, Poles, Swiss,
Itoumnnlnns, Dutch, Jugo-SInvs,
French, Danish, Norwegians, Swedes,
Finns and Lithuanians. All have con
stituted line, desirable cltlzen-bulldlng
material, ns the few detentions nnd
lesser deportations bear testimony.
Furthermore, tho disturbed Industrial
conditions of the New England stntea
have resulted In the commencement of
an exodus of French-Canndlan families
back to their old homes, which may
reach an appreciable size.
"On nil sides this awakening of In
terest Is evident. It Is a new faith
borne on the crest of the wave of
brighter prospects, the ftiwn of a fuller
realization, In the continued Inability
of mnny other countries to emergo
from the economic slough Into which
the war plunged them, of the desirabil
ity of Cannda as n country more rapid
ly throwing off Ha post-bellum depres
sion, and Its great place In the world's
lmmedlntc future.
"British migration Is of a healthy
nnd desirable order, of sturdy com
position, and frequently heavily capi
talized. Many Scottish farmers have,
already arrived this year."
