The bars of the cage are not rigid, but few can escape. With the defeat ‘of the Central Em- pires came the prediction that mil- lions would migrate from the beaten, tex-ridden, disorganized country and find new fields for their industry and energy. Though tens of thousands are anxious to leave the German fatherland, the expected flood of im- migration has not materialized and only a handful of Germans has fared forth The main factors in this are com- paratively few. The former enemy countries are unwilling to receive their foemen, the neutral countries are crowded, the'shipping situation is such that it is all but impossible to get passage and passage id bef ‘high makes a Sant Morenae eek necessary ager have even an ordinary staké abroad.

The urge was very strong. Industrially the coutitr? was in a bad way, the prospect of heavy indemnities made the most séver taxes certain, and food shortage even then seemed likely to become more acute.

Upetaire Over Kiblier’s with the added strong probability that Germany would not for years be able to support her. entire population. Then the efforts at emigration became more strenuous. The first goal was South America, especially Argentine and Brazik. In South America, the German has al- ways enjoyed a good reputation and in both these countries are strong German colonies, im part merged in the native population, speaking Span- ish and Portuguese, considering them- selves as much a part of the nation as do Americans of German descent. Good reports of their success and the vision of wide countrysides where and would-be settlers. There was a flood of settlers’ companies, which eventually became a minor scandal. They were not in a strict sense fraud- ulent and some of then were aided or at leas; officially recognized by the South American governments, bat they were imperfectly financed, and worked too much in the booster spirit.

Where these hopeful men made thefr mistake was in neglecting to consider the crowded condition of in- dustries in these countries. Some eould get no jobs and were forced to return minus their original capital. Others were more fortunate, but soon discovered that high prices of food, of clothing, of housing swallowed all their pay and that their savings were negligible. On the whole, this ex- periment, which was in a way a novel- ty was a failure. There remained Russia, to which evei before the end of the war Ger- Mans had turned their’ eyes. The most considerable settlers’ company yet organized operates in its efforts to turn Germans to the east. It has its main office at Leipzig, but penetrates through branches ;to-all parts of the country. It is apparently fostered by the Soviet government, and seeks two classes of settlers, farmers to culti- vate barren acres and, more especial- industrial workers. ' The Soviets tlemind that the’settter | whieh} become: a Russian citizen,. with. all that implies in the way of abandon- ment of the protection ofthe German government and the acceptance of communistic conditions which do not sit very well with the thrifty, indus- trious, acquisitive type of German who wishes to settle. It ig perhaps significant that the German government tacitly supporte this company by putting facilities at its disposal. It is evident that the government would prefer its citizens to be in Russia rather than in coun- tries farther removed. The influx of Germans into Russia has been relatively small, and- the summing up of the whole emigration situation shows that except for a min- ute fraction, the Germans who we in Germany November 11, 1918, are still there. The wurge to leave, however, be- comes constantly more acute. Unem- ployment is widespread, and emer- gency measures have so far failed that in some places it has become necess- ary to remove singk men from their Jobs after they have worked. for a short term of months to permit fath- ers of families to have employment.

The Act became effective on September Ist, 1920, and will remain in force for two years. Under the provisions of the Act any honourably discharged soldier, sailor, or nurse, of the Canadian For- ces domiciled and resident in Canada, may insure with the government to an amount of from $500.00 to $5,- 000.00. Under certain conditions the widow of a returned soldier, who died tain insurance. In addition to former-members of the C.E.F., the pH yrhidenrag of the Act anyone, male or fe- male who oorved during ” bared War Forces of any of the aide clated powers, providing they were domiciled and resident in Canada be- fore the War and hold an honourable |, discharge. Many of fhose who served overseas, while not suffering from a severe dis- ability, find that their physical con- dition is such that they are unable to obtain life insurance at al! or only at much higher rates than are nor- mally demanded. They, therefore, find themselves severely handicapped! in. providing protection for their de- pendents. Under the Returned Sol- diers’ Insurance Act all returned men are placed on an equal basis ag no medical examination is requir The premium_rates.are low. They vary with the age of ¢he insured and oad ery of insurance chosen. At the twenty-five a @traightt life polley ue ‘$1000.00, costes $1.24 . At the age of thirty-five the pate is'$1.70 per month. Beneficiar- ies are limited in the case of a mar- ried man to his wife and children. An unmarried man or a widower with- out children is required to name his future wife and children as benefic- faries. Should the insured die un- married the insurance money may be paid to one or more of his immediate relatives according to his will. An exceptional advantage of this insurance is the provision made for a disability benefit. Under this sec- tion should the policy holder becom= totally and permanently disabled he is relieved from payingifurther prem- tums and the insurance money is paid to him direct fn annual instalmenta equal to one-twentieth of the toe a- mount of the policy.
