Now, however, everybody is of the opinion that there] are too many Central Europeans being brought to Canada. Many of them are very good settlers, but the greater percentage of them are not. We want a better selection of immigrants and this can only be done by the Federal Government having control of the matter in Europe. When the scheme ■begins to operate it will be impossible for any immigrant to come to Canada unless he or she passes the Canadian Government lepresentative," added the Minister. MAJORITY BRITISH. It was not the Government's idea to have nothing but British immigration, remarked Mr. Perrault. The majority should be British, but preference •would also be given to Scandinavians, who made excellent settlers. These two races would be encouraged to come to the Dominion in large numbers and immigration from Central Europe would be very much decreased. Referring: to repatriation, IV! rault stated' that within a short time a scheme would materialize whereby a large number of Quebecers who have migrated to the States would be induced to return to their natal soil. A conference with the Federal immigration authorities will take place in Quebec when the plan will be discussed at length.

The prime minister who is the key*, to the situation has made no state-/ ment on the matter for some conaid-j erable time. The Canadian National' Advisory board is in a soporific state,' while the board of engineers Is still' considering its appendices to the re-j port it made to the government some' time ago. The reason that the United States presidential elections enter even into' the Canadian end Is said to be due to the possibility of the matter becoming a politicial issue. Canada has. no desire to furnish ammunition one; way or the other. Although the major; section of Canadian opinion is uv favor of early and decisive action' none of the Canadian agencies connected with the scheme are moving.1 In explanation it is said that the board cannot do anything until the apJ pendices of the board of engineers have been received, completing the report they made a year ago. When these will be ready no one appears to know. The United States had a simi-' lar national advisory committee and b'.'sad of engir.ears. Th=s latter haa made its raport, which has been sent to the president by Herbert Hoover,1 secretary of state. It has still to corre before congress. This re-*' port recommended a single stage scheme. The Canadian report favor-i two-stage project. But on both sides of the border the whole situation appears to be in a state of suspended animation. In Washington it is said that they are waiting on Canada, that they are willing to give whatever safeguards Canada demands with respect to hei share of the international section and maintenance of her control over her national section. Official Canada declines to discuss the situation. And there it lies; all planned out and place to take it. culties, added the Minister.

A resolution dealing with the subject said, "All have been amazed at the ignorance which tourists show regarding Canada and her resources. The tourist trade has grown, however, until it is second to agriculture, all in 25 years. The proposed $5,000,000 expenditure is in addition to anything now on the Federal Government's publicity budget. traffic jar All Bright in Their Red and Gold New Zealand Rum Act Changed Need Only Get Majority in Referendum to Change Law VOTE EACH3 YEARS Wellington, New Zealand.--Prohibitionists won a notable victory in the House of Representatives when the >r license amendment bill was considered in committee.
