Fe to the Editor are published | Joh | immigrants tor lars yearly in paying the passages of people who wished to go to the do- | minions, It is commendable that the C.P.R. should make an endeavor to secure Canada, but it should be borne in mind that mere numbers | will pot make Canada any greater or any more able to finance her pressing préblems. In the ten or fifteen years | previous ¢o the war the C.P.R. did jmuch to add to the population fig- | ures of this country by bringing im- migrants from Burope, but it cannot be sald that these were the best type of citizen for us to receive, There was little attempt at selection, and thousands of the Europeans who were brought out knew nothing of our languagé and still less of.our customs. They swelled the numbers of unskilled laborers, Mved under conditions which were not conducive to good citizenship, and did nothing to maintain the standards of living and morality of their adopted coun- IY. 5 ; There is & danger that even in im- migration from the British Isles there may be a sacrifice of quality at the expense of quantity. At the Present time there is but one type of Immigrant needed in Canada, and that is the type of man who has ex- perience in farming and is ready and able to go on the land to becoms a producer. There is no need for city workers, for artizans of most kinds, or for lgborers, The cities are al ready choked with thousands of euch men who aré unable to find employ- ment. For such men to come to Can- ada Would but swell the ranks of the unemployed in a country where there is no state system of unemployment doles, It will be said, of courwe, that there is no desire to bring such men to Canada, but the nature of the population of Great Britain is such as to make it clear that little else is available. Only eight per cent, of the British workers are land work- ers, and these do not figure amongst the hundreds of thousands who are receiving umemployment relief. The land workers are nested in Great Britain just as much as they are needed here, The unemployed come from the cities, from the renks of the artisans, clerks, skilled and unskill- od laborers, They are the men for whom an outlet must be found. They are the men who ere most anxious to try their fortunes in a mew coun- try; yet Cavada already hes more than enough of these for her present requirements, These facts simply emphasize the great need there is for caution in any plan of immigration and for a ocare- ful selection of those who are best fitted to fill the vacant places in Can- adian life. Indiscriminate immigra- tion 1s ao thing of the past, and o clove check shoul be kept on the methods adopted in bringing people even from Great Britain. ---------- THE CONFERENCE ENDED on the event whima will @s a turning point in world affairs, Never before, in so short a time, have so many matters of international fmport, many of them bearing ell the conditions ne- cessary to bring on future war, been dealt with. Never before in history bas there been wo constructive a step towards making peace end harmony a universal reality. As a result of the twelve weeks of deliberation and ar gument, the whole world can Took forward to the future with hope and cofrfidence [tions came together and made con- |cessions In am effort to salve the | vexed problems centering on China. | The bitter controversies regarding | Shantung, Kiso Chow and Yap, in- | volving Japan, the United States and China, were amicably settled. China's tariffs were regulated and her intog- (Tity guaranteed. The division of for- mer German cables in the Pacific was accomplished without friction. Japan agreed to withdraw from Stb- of exclusive control of South Man- churfa and inner Mongolia, and Great Britain returned Wei-Hel-Wel to China, When it is considered that any one of these problems might 'have led to a terrible war, it will be doing tremendous things, With the close of this event there is a prospect of the world now settl- ing down to mormal activities of peqce. With national expenditures reduced by bilHoms owing to these treaties, #t will be possible for Great Britain to igo ahead with the reduc- tion of her load of debt, and when next month's economic conference at Genoa is over, there will be a pros- pect of stability once.more returning to the world, During the war it used to be eaid that we were living in great days, but the évents of war- time were insignificant in their ulti mate value when compared with what bas been achieved at Washing- ton for the good of the world and for humantty, i I -------- Walt Mason +] THE POET PHILOSOPHER bun RESPECTING THE LAW, The law decreed in olden times that witches should be burned; the 'courts abhorred their mystic crimes, and all their pleading spurned. My grandsire . thought they ought to ditch all statutes of the kind; he thought the burning of a witch was not a sport refined. "But while such laws are In the ,book," my grandsire used to sigh, "around us daily we must look, for witches we may fry. Was there a beldame anywhere, who owned a eat or snake, my grandsire traced her to her lair, and tied her ¢o the stake. {He sald, "The law must be for justice seek, and though I hate 'to burn a jade, I burn one every week. I doubt if witches really work much evil and distress, though they're roasted by the kirk, and by the law and press. But it is not for me to say what laws are right or wrong; I've built a roaring fire today, so, witches, come along." The law he doubted was repealed long since, as fierce and vain; old women now may go afield, with black cats in their train. And 1t some acrobatic dame can on a broomstick ride, the people will ap- plaud her game, and point to her with pride.
