monterbruytu discussed the problems why u immigration a failure mr bruyns formerly was leader and vicepresident of the emigration league in holland and on the executive of several farmers organisations over tliere tlie chairman for the occasion was mr james lindsay mr bruyns be fore tackling the immigration problem proper liad to give an analysis of the canadian situation the disharmony between living conditions in agricul ture and the rest of the canadian po- pulatlon u according to the speaker the natural cause of the trek from the farm to the cities as every migration is caused by n difference in economic itveu if there u one wheel of the economic clock out of order this clock cannot keep right time which u the case in canada the first phase of this dis harmony u a more extensive method of farming which again causes less production and a decrease in land val- uethe speaker who has been in mt immigration countries in the world proves beyond question that ontario farms today are sold far be low their actual agricultural value very often for the value of the build ings only the pioneers who created these farms tn endless toil must be turning in their graves if they knew how after two generations these farms were practically given away to tom dick and harry these conditions create bad times for retail merchant and for industry and an of great in fluence on the prosperity of towns people vacant farms are not a cause but an effect and are a festering sore on the beautiful surface of canada disharmony this economic disease creates emigration to the tjoa and prevents immigration of desirable cit izens and slackens empire ties the fact that immigration propaganda u necessary u a sign that there u something wrong it has been tried by every immigration country in the world and never in hutory had any results the real farmers in north western europe who are brought up in the cult of the land wont underttand it if a man on a platform offers them an abandoned farm or a prairie farm for next to nothing and claims that ex perience u hardly necessary to become farmers in canada this propaganda creates suspicion and suspicion will km every advertising campaign the general feeling in northwest europe u suspicion of canada but it u not yet more than a feeling and has never been analysed if not only the farmers but every soldier sailor tin ker tailor would help to chip the rust from the agricultural wheel in the economic clock a situation would be created that made people come here by millions because canada is tha most wonderful country tn the world miss macphau was greeted with hearty applause when the got on the platform and said the analysis of canadas problems by the former speaker was the best she had ever heard anywhere and by anybody in which statement she would include every number of parliament mr mac kenxle king mr melghen and mr bennett it should be printed and circulated all over canada miss macphail to the- great amuse ment of the audience gave some illus trations how immigration propaganda was carried on in great britain and then switched over to tha topic about the necessity and poaslbulty of healthy farmers organlsatioas every province should follow the ex ample of alberta which province through the brains of the leaders has created the strongest farmers organ isation in tha world not alone but also the biggest business in the dominion of canada bigger than tha cpjt and cnr and in else only second to the dominion government we hold within ourselves the solu uon of all our difficulties through self help said mlu macphail because we have enough potential greatness in our breed of farmers tha only thing we have to do u to throw ourselves into thu whouheartedly we have to put our country weilbelng before our own also we nave to find a way to affect the political field tn some way because hnost things depend on legislation we do not have to go into the political field ourselves necaataruy but if we grumble together it will make a mighty roar which can be heard ail over the country and also in ottawa white if everybody grumbles by his lonesome nobody hears it the canadian legu latum and government however are greatly dominated by the few people who rule our few banks four of which control 70 of canadas capital the time will come soon that the western farmers will take another leaf out of the ontario fanners book by also starting their own banking oper ations the meeting was very animated and a vote of thanks was given to the speakers a very interesting feature of
