Stevens, M.P., Was Very Eloquent in His Ad- dress. before the Ca British American Hote evening, tion H. 1 Speaking Club in the on Tuesday Stevens, M.P,, Vancouver, made a strong appeal for a policy of res ed immigration He dealt with the history of immigration into America and Canada, and, applying the sone to be learned, showed that the future welfare of Canada depended upon the quality rather than upon the quantity of its people, "We want an increase in population, and I agree with those who look for the de- velopment of our tremendous re- (sources, but we must shut the bars against all races and types that can- not be assimilated by us. By assimi- lation I mean marriage. We have trict les {found that the best immigrants are those who come from the British Isles and Northern Europe. We can take British. who want to go on the land and the Danes, Swedes and Nor- wegians, ad of whom make ideal citi zens, but we cannot admit people from central and southern Europe and Asia, Mr, Stevens gave a most interesting account Oriental invasion of the Pacific: slopes, and |showed conclusively that* Canada could not withstand | gration movement from China, Japan | A ee tA A tt i ining of the Ss ENS, M.P. | Aa {and India. The white race would eventually become swallowed up if no effective laws were enforced | against the Oriental immigrants. | These, together with the types from |central and southern Europe, never | become producers; but : industry of the more industrious jclasses. Dealing with the labor prob lem he declared that it 'was never {solved by employers who substituted Orientals and other docile labor for | White labor. The docile labor ulti- | mately had the situation in its own | hands and the employers were worse {off than they were before, This was | the situation in the fishing and pack- |ing industry on the Pacific coast which once offered profitable employ- {ment to thousands of Canadians, The same conditions are being brought about in the Okanagon Valley, B.C. where fruit growing is the most im- | portant industry. | "We want Canada to remain Can- | adian," said Mr. Stevens, in con- clusion, and we cannot have it so un- |less we keep out all races and types | (of people but those that can be as- similated, i Hon, Mr. Stevens' Address. | J. M. Farrell, president, occupied the chair and there was a represen- tative gathering. Mr. Stevens has been a member of parliament for many years, and one who has given much study to the subject of immi- gration. He is peculiarly qualified to speak with a degree of authority because of the economic and social problems facing British Columbia as a consequence' of the Chinese and Japanese invasion which has displac- ed white workers in many lines of industry, and encroaches upon the fertile valleys settled by English peo- ple of a very superior class. "One of the most important prob- lems facing Canada today and one which, for many years to come, will be one of the most seridus economic and social problems with us is the control of immigration," . said Mr. Btevens in opening his address, "The people cannot allow it to pass from their attention. Some say that we should open up our doors. and allow all to come in; that all this country needs is immigration. This country (needs men and women, They say that the over-construction of rail- ways demands an increase in popula- tion and production to create more traffic for our roads. A country of | immense expanse and tremendous re- | sources must have a basis of man- labor, I want to lay before you one or ftwo principles. First, it is the in- | herent right of any organized state /to determine the conditions and iterms upon which others will be ad- mitted to that state. "The more I {study that the more am I convinced {that any nation must hold finally to /that doctrine, Second, a nation is jnot made up merely of its material | wealth, money, merchandise, etc. {These are not the determining fac- | tors of a nation, but the human ele- iment and the character of its people | thet go to make up a nation. | "The needs of immigration at this | time are not the whole question, al- | though there are those who urge {that Canada requires the admission lof cheap labor. There are those in | the west who would import into Can- 'ada tens of thousands of the coolie classes of labor, and, it we did, Can- |adians of more advanced ideas, tal- jents and ability would be able to direct this mass of common labor to the bensfit of the country. The aver- a great immi- | ek the cen- | {ters of population and live upon the | s do not submit t n labor and mit as Indenture ensure their return to their own untry after a specified number of years I opposed to that view { point in argument, Canada needs man-power. but she wants citizens, men who will take their {place in the body politic and measure up to the standard of It is a fact that indentured labor has 1 1 ad d labor) am the never lived up to the standard but | unmitigated | has proved to be an curse." The speaker citéd the riots in Natal where indentured labor from | India, admitted for a period- of five | i years after which it was to return to India, remained in the ace to the white population. A study of the effect [shows that it bad. Indenture is labor is a type of slavery and you | cannot make a nation eof hondmen. "Canada cannot afford { jterests; that who are admitted their place as individual citizens of this country. Care must be tadren at [this time that we do not throw down {the bars. We must sanely and care- {fully select those we admit to this country, limit to those who will pion- leer as the Canadians and British Ihave done for the past few centuries We have the right to expect new comers to take up some of the hard- Iships and to their own benefit. There {is nothing in it to make any man | ashamed. those The Menace of Immigration, "There is a serious menace unless we control out immigration with skill and common sense. Europe is | full of social disintegration, indus- itrial collapse and political confusion. {I think we are safe in saying that there is such a chaotic condition in | Furope that there is an urge toward America. So aroused has the United [States become that it has passed: a law limiting the number of incoming immigrants to three per cent. of the nationality already represented in the population of the country, and no more. Canadians are admitted who have been one year in Canada We |don't want Canada to be a stepping stone for immigrants from Europe to | America, with Canada paying ail the expense to bring them here in addi- [tion to the risk of disease, etc. There is a very strong effort to bring Jews from all over the world to Canada and the United States. This we can- not permit beeause of industrial con- ditions--especially of the type of |Jews that collect in the large centers {and live by trafficking and trading. | We should not assume an attitude of hostility to any pgrson, but we owe lit to future generations to exercise care as to whom we admit. Condi- tions In Canada are less difficult for workers than in 'the United States | but we have a very serious problem {and cannot add large numbers to the industrial population just now. It | may be argued that if we had a large {industrial population we would have {less trouble but this is not so. The jemployer is not going to help mat- |térs by adding to the number of in- | dustrial workers, | British Columbia Conditions. "In British Columbia twenty-five | Years ago we had not a single Orien- {tal in the saw-mills about Vancou- | ver. - We had white 'men as common jraborers, semi-skilled and skilled. Thé supply came from common labor, | Labor was more or less intolerant |and they took on the Japs and Chin- ese and it was not long before they {found it difficult to get skilled labor land they put on Orientals until to- {day many of our saw-mills are oper |aled entirely by Orientals. The own- |ers are no more happy than they | were twenty-five years ago with white labor. Once the Orientals con- trasled the market they became more |dificoult than the white ever was. |The same condition prevails in the {fishing and packing industry. There {was a thne when I saw 2,000 fishing { roats manned entirely by white men, | The Orientals were introduced by the owners and in a short time all fleets {of fishing boats and packing houses | were in the hands of Orientals. The {owners regret it because they can't control them. "You don't solve the problem by | introducing docile labor in large | numbers, There are other things |that must be solved before you can set away from it, and it is not by {cheap industrial labor whether from the Orient cor from Europe. We [should welcome into brothers from the British Isles who are willing to go on the land and from north Europe. We must be careful and not admit any from cen- | tral and southern Europe, and cen- itral Asia. We can play safe with these from northern Europe .and Britain who want to go on the land. "The Asiatic problem is a vital one with the people of British Col- umbia, but the people of eastern Canada do not understand it. There are in India, Ching and Japan 834, 000,000 people and if they were al- lowed to immigrate to Canada the country would be swamped in a very short time with the modern systems of transportation." The speaker awakened his hearers to the serious- ness of such a tide of immigration by referring to the records of his- {tory when successive tides of immi- {gration left indellible impressions upon the countsies visited. It was a condition serious to contemplate." Admit 3,000 or 4,000 Orientals every three weeks or say 10,000, what {would the situation be? The Van- jcouver riots were a protest against {the very thing. The people resisted despite the tax of $500 put upon Chinese and Japanese they get in in citizenship. | country. | While at first docile it later became { 1 keen competing labor and a men- | of indentured labor | to permit | an infusion of lower blood though it | may add to the wealth of certain in- | and while we need labor we | owe it to this country to see to it] take | Canada our | and the government had to act.

Princess St. |S pn increasing numbers by evading the dws; and concessions made to stu- {dents and traders are abused. "Immigration must be restricted | to people possible of assimilation and {by that I mean marriage. Is there a {woman who wants to marry, or who | would consent to her sister or daugh- ter marrying a Jap, a Chinaman or a |Hindoo? Invariably the offspring of |8uch a union of races is inferior to {both, In California where there are Chinamen of the fourth generation born in America, they are Chinamen | (still. As an instance of the absorb- {ing power of the Chinese Mr. Stevens | related an historical fact regarding the settlement of 120,000 Jews in [China in the twelfth century. De- spite the racial tenacity of the Jews there Is absolutely no trace of them in China today.

It is a duty resting on Canada today to | keep her head and her vision." | A hearty vote of thanks was ten- {dered to Hon. Mr. Stevens on the | motion of Major-Gen, Sir A. C.
