In order to avoid confusion the government, profiting by the American experi- ence, has laid down definite. require- ments for the broadcasting stations. One provision of the British plan is that a part of the profits of the in- strument makers and a percentage of the licensing fees from receiving Stations shall go toward paying the cost of broadcasting. : - The generosity of the Presbytsr- ian church in Canada .in the past _ two years has been Inspiring. In that time the glvings of the people to tongregational * purposes increased 0,000, and to the Budget and "Women's Missionary Society neariy 0,000. $450,000 was given for {good that mistake. The first twenty | states which completed thelr returns on Tuesday recorded Democratic | gains, which totalled «in all over 43 seventy eeats in the House of Repre- | sentatives, and as later returns came in, the gain was steadily fncreased. | There were some great individual | victorfes, particularly in New York, | where the Republican, Governor Mil- ler, was defeated by Al. Smith, the mocratic candidate, and in Michi- gan, that hot-bed of Republicanism, | { where the Democrats made a clean | sweep. There are two main reasons for the ' | great reversal of public opinion in | greatest is the Fordney tariff bill | which has become law. It was pre- | dicted some months ago in this col- {umn that this bill would prove a | great stumbling block to the Repub- |licans when election time came (along, and this prediction has been justified. On June 1st of this year, | {in an editorial in the Whig, the fol- {Towing paragraph appeared: | "The voice of the people is speak- [ing against the high tariffs, and when |the voice of the people speaks, the | politicians are ready to listen. The | United States congressional elections are due in a few months time, and the Republican party is naturally anxious to maintain the supremacy [Gained jn the 1920 landslide. The {high tariff bill would be too great a {handicap to carry to the polls with | the people in their present state of mind." - This prediction has turned out to he gnly too true, and the Republi- cans, by putting into effect a tariff bill which did not have the support of the people, dug their own graves, and on Tuesday many of them fell into them. Undoubtedly the vassing of the tariff bill was the last unbear- able burden placed upon the people of the United States, and the voice of the people spoke in no unmistakeable terms, The result of the election shows clearly that high tariffs are not popu- lar with the people of this continent. The expression of opinion given on Tuesday je but an echo of that given by the people of Canada last Decem- | ber, when the high tariff party was swept out of power and utterly rout- ed. The peaple on the North Ameri- can continent are not believers in the erection of high trade barriers, for they have learnt from experience that these tariffs react to their own disadvantage and omly eerve to en- rich trusts and industrial monopolies. The other factor in giving the Democrats so sweeping a gain in the election was the almost fanatical en- forcement of the Volstead prohibi- tion laws, On the other side, these laws have been enforced to the point of extremity, and in many states, where .a referendum vote was: taken on, the question of prohibition, a vic- tory for thé "wet" forces was coupled with the wiotory of the democratic ticket. . In IlMnois, where there 'was & majority of 500,000 in favor of beer and wine, in Ohio, New York, Massachusetts and New Jersey, anti- prohibition majorities were rolled up, showing that there was a decided reaction against the drastic enforce- ment of prohibition. Already there is talk of immediate modification of the prohibition laws, but these will come too late to save the Republican party. The result of Tuesday's elec'ion is tantamount to a serving of notice off the Harding administration that it cannot hope "0 be re-elected when the presidential elections are held two years hence. The landslide has only begun, and it will undoubtedly likely that the Democrats will return at Washingion. | ---- : THE IMMIGRATION POLICY. During the last election campaign one of the main ideas put forward by the Liberal party was that some flow of immigration to Canada would vacant lands of the dominion. was shown clearly then that gain force during the next two years, and ot the end of shat period it is to power, and a Democratic president will again occupy the seat of honour scheme must be devised whereby the be increased, and not only increased | in numbers but in settlement on the It Canada Whi Fonts 7! tration out of office, and they have value to the dominion. After months | "| atready gone part of the way to make (of effort, aided by men who have | [studied the situation on both sides of [the Atlantic, the minister's plan is [ready to put into effect, and it is one | which is worth etudying and which should bring the desired result, In making his plan public. Hon. Mr. Stewart answers the criticisms of those who have been bemoaning the fact that immigration has been de- creasing. He says that the govern- ment could easily open the doors of Canada and greatly increase the | Britain and the continent, but that | Canada would then receive thousands [ot artizans and city dwellers who {would only swell the numbers of men | job the United States. The first and |looking for work in the cities. He believes that this is not the best plan for Canada, and he is right. For the present and the immediate future the activities of his department are to be confined to securing for Canada the immigration of people who will be engaged in agricultural and household work and to 'teen-age boys and girls who will go on the farm and make agriculture their life voca- tion. The plan to be adopted by Mr. Stewart is a three-fold one and one which, if thoroughly carried out by officials who have the proper semsc building up the rural life of the country in the way that is desired. The department of immigration plans to give the immigrants of the future careful supervision, firs: be- fore they come to this country, 'téecondly, when they arrive dn Can- ada, and, thirdly, after they have settled on the land. The first step will be taken in Great Britain and the other countries from which im- migrants are desired, and only those of the approved and desired classos will be brought out. They will be carefully selected as to their country of origin, and as to their qualifica- for that is what Canada needs, On arriving here, 4t will be the endeavor of the department to place them on the land so that they will become substantial citizens of the dominion. In order to secure this result, an ex- tensive survey of the country has been made, so that there will be no guess work in placing the Immi- grants. Lastly, after he has set'led on the land, the immigrant will be wisely directed and assisted, so that he will remain an agricultural work- er and not drift '0 the cities. That has been the great failing in the past, and if it can be avoided the depart- ment will have accomplished some- thing worth while, At first glance, the new immigration policy looks like an excellent one, and it is to be hoped that it works out as well in Practice as it Promises to in theory. ---------------- Our Canadian Question And Answer Corner Q.--What and where are the Syd- neys?
