Immigration" to Canada during 1919 totalled 117,633, an Increase of 67,393 over "1918, or 134 per cent. Of the 117,633 new settlers 'Who entered the Dominion last year, §7,- 261 were from the British Isles and * principally soldiers' dependents; 52, '964 from the United States, and the balaice of "8,318 from other coun: tries. In 1918 the totals were; Bri- tish Isles, 4,484; United States, 40, '194; other countsies, 5,592. : Immigrants = from States, the majority of whom were the farming class, says the Mone- tary Times, brought with them into ~oountry cash and effects nting to $18,419,406, compar- with $7,351,047 in 1918.

Yet the need for a new orien- tation of the former Ottoman Empire 48 immediate and insistent. Settle- ment has already been too long de- layed, with the result that ehervating ufigertainty and inaction havé in- spired the Allies' former enemies to assume a defiant and recalcitrant attitude that memaces world peace. It is universally conceded, even by the Turks themselves, that in fu- ture the area of the old Turkish Empire will be greatly contracted. The sultan can have no expectation of ever again exercising sovereign rights over Palestine, Syria, Meso- potamia and Arabia. Too long has the Turk imposed his will on alien soil. The sword of Islam conquered, but gemerations of sultans have not dared to return it to its scabbard. They ruled by .right of conquest, and never sought to ease the yoke of their subject races, Thus the old Ottoman Expire was held together by the Dpoliceman's billy and the soldier's rifle, and when these proved impo- tent under the impact of a stronger force, it swiftly dissolved. There was little of Turkey left in Egtope after the peace of Mudros, and so far as that continent f& con- cerned the last vestiges of the sul- tan's .power will have di red 'nople and the Dardanelles Straits, to which Premier Lloyd George has pledged the British nation. Pleas 'have been put Jorward _| against the expulsion of the Turk from the ancient Greek oity of Con- stantinople on the grounds that such @ step would be resented by our Indian Mussulman subjects. This in- tense sympathy, displayed by leaders of India's Mahommedans for the sul- tan, fs of recent growth and is strongly suspected of baving a poli- tleal bias. There is greater reason- ableness in the anguments of those who maintain that to drive the Turk from Constantinople is to throw him deliberately ifito the arms of the rank weeds in Middle Asia that would | menace British India and wadanger: the stability of Persia. : The realization that such a dansor exists should not deter the Allies from a course that demands both courage and preseiénce.

Ong-sided trade is an imppssi- bility; there must always be two parties to the trade, and the more both are. benefittdll, the nearer the transaction approaches the ideal. Another trade fallacy is the sup- position that it Mhpations rather than individuals who trede with each other. This leads to the temptation to establish different prices for the nationals of different countries. Why not treat all men altke? The fear will be largely eliminated from com- mercial transactions, and the volume of these transactions will grow rapid- conditions commerce is said to be carried on by nations, but as a matter of fact the real buyer ond seller is thing he needs from someone else who has a surplus of that particular article. In war times trade becomes necessarily restricted or artificially expanded under the guidance of mili- tary necessity, but in peace times the buyer and seller find each other over continents and seas, through every possible obstacle of climate and ele- mental conditions, though they rare- ly actually meet. Governmental security and justice should be reflected in trade. Peace should mark trade with 4 new mark whih medns one price for all. News of Kepler.
