TA=@S, Editor If We Want More Trourlets *Twenty million visitors, mont of them Amer- Acans, came to this country at year, bent on ::one farm af récreation or another.

ARTICLE 19 Since Ibis column began a discussion ai immigration there have been same spectacular developménii ln relation ta thé govérnmént's policy outlincd bý Prime Minister King, May i. It seems plainly apparent now, that post war immigration will be a major issue in the élection campaign no matter baw long deierréd. It ahauld bring. aharply mbt focus whaît the Liberal governmenthbas done, whal the Progressive Conservativé parly demand as the alternative. FARM LABOR PROBLEM In vlew ai the fact ihat the primary concern ai these articles is ta malté known ta Canadian farmers what they may éxpéci from the nexi government they will choose, as between thcae two cJntenders, nothing can be more pertinent than what is presently transpirlng in regard ta immigration. In order firmly ta gét thé éntire picturé let us keep in mind ane central faci; farma labor today can scarécly be bad at any price afier years ai war in which farmers slaved for victary. COMPETITION Let us look at thé conirast: In the House ai Cannions the eracken party affirmed th.at if Australia and other outside countnies could'gel shipping 'and charter whole ships la gel immi- gration aurely Canada could do the samé, especially since, during' WAr, Canada had déveloped a greal mendiant marine. Ausiralia, for instante, plarined ta take mare than balf a million ,JBritishers as immigrants and they were busy recruiting them ýhile thé Ottawa governmeni walted in bleak Indécision and debahed which way ta turn. TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE Speaking wihh great urgency thé Progressive Consenv- ativé opposition put the proposition squarely béfore thé bÉuse. Whal was said can hé summéd up as follows: "Upwards ai hait a million British people bave made known they want ta came ta Canada ta work on farms or any kind ai work that wlll permit them ta hivé useful lives as free cîtizens withln thé British Comn- manwealth. Thé Bnacken party warned: "Let us gel tien out lmmediatély or il wilhé toa late." ACTION NOW It was siown tiat other oulside counîries were busy gel- ting thé "cream af thé crop" by prompt application ai bath lm- mediaté and long-range Immigration pahiciés. "Let us get ai once thé 'know iow' people ai Bitaîn"l was thé very slrong plea ai thé Brackén Progressive Conservalives.
