Immigration After the War. "1 see no reagon." «ays Sir Thoma Shaughnessy, president of the Cana dian. Pacific Railway, 'to fear tbe progress of Canada will be hampered by lack of capital, even though the European. investor may be put off by the present war. The uncentain ele- ment is the supply of iabof, and tit the issue of the war is decided one can only hope for the best.. 'It is, however, a historic fact that European wars during the past cen- tury have been followed by emigra- tion to the North American contin- ent. An important factor in' these migrations has been 'he beavy taxa- tion which resulted from war. "Although there is reason {0) be- lieving that the gates of wages in | Kuropean countries may soon. ap- proximate to those now current in Canada, .the taxation required to pay for the war will tempt many to trans- fer their homes across the Atlantic, Muel of this movement from Central Europe will be direcied no doubt to the United States, but any further immigration turough the = ports of Boston and New York will only in- crease the westward pressure of pop-. ulation which is alveady resulting in an overflow from the middle western Hitates into our prairic provinces.'
