Choosing Immigrants TO SETTLERS of British stock PREFERENCE in any immigration scheme for British Columbia, as set out by Premier John Hart as a guiding principle, is, of course, a very desirable aim. Naturally, we might be expected to feel a preference in that direction but it cannot be anything more than a preference. As a matter of fact, it is a question whether exclusively British immigration would fit our needs. On the land, particularly, it might be questionable and it is for the development of our agricultural background, which is not keeping pace with our industrial expansion, that new people are needed. It is questionable if British people, so many of whom are highly industrialized, want to come to the land. And it is further questionable if they would be entirely suitable as settlers of the land. Possibly, there is a type of European people that might be better fitted. We are not discounting the desirability of British immigration but we also remember that we have in the past had immigrants from certain Europe countries, who, even in the first and second generations, have become assimilated as some of ojir finest Can adian citizens. A SENATOR'S VIEWS J. G. TURGEON, writing as a guest SENATOR columnist in the Vancouver News-Herald re-t. cently, deals with the subject of immigration and applies his views in regard to a broader immigration policy as an economic necessity for Canada particularly to Northern British Columbia and Prince Rupert district Here is what he has to say: "Some of the steps about to be taken by Great Britain in an effort to avert complete disaster should at last make all Canadians realize Canada's stark poverty so far as population is con-, cerned. The positive and urgent need of large and carefully planned immigration must now be clearly seen. "This is especially true of BrlUsh Columbia. Our great and . long -continued export of timber to the United Kingdom Is suddenly and seriously threatened. It is true that there is, at the moment, a domestic market by reason of the dreadful housing . conditions In so many parts of Canada. And it is to be seriously "hoped that at least for the next year or so our wealth-creating employment -producing lumber industry wil continue in full .swing. Hint are we Canadians going to remain forever willing to be ' utterly dependent upon foreign markets for our industrial and productive life? "Canada and especially British Columbia must have more people. We are crying for railway construction in the north and m - . v& ui.iittj iiibitaotu uvuuiauuii. luxtuiti vwi.il i- ii.iiJLt.iit iil ui ji. our nurwi country e weaim oi unioucnea natural resources, is an absolute necessity both for the construction and for the . . . economic operation of such a railway. J . ! "Prince Rupert Is still looking eagerly for the development that was promised 40 years ago by the building of the Grand Trunk ..Pacific Railway. But the immigration that was promised at that ,Ume soon was stopped, and was kept shut off deliberately until the last few months If Canada really enters upon a far-reach-,tJng immigration policy, and if the people admitted are properly organized, then without doubt British Columbia's northern area ijwill be settled and its resources will be developed, w "If. this prospect of population and development is made posl-jtivf through government: policy and activity then there will be comparatively little trouble in bringing about necessary and. properly located railway construction; and the whole northern portlons-of British Columbia and Alberta will come into their uwu aim lauways ana seaports ana ine western Canadian economy will prosper. "Then we will no longer have to denounce the construction of secondary Industry in Ontario and Quebec. The Increased population, the development of resources and the creation of transportation facilities will materially Increase our secondary industry. "Every community In British Columbia and every group or assocatlcn of peoples should endorse the steps already taken and In addition should press upon the government for a definite, far-sighted and truly active policy of broad and selective immigration."

For the ""Rupert Line" swings through high mountains, it winds along farm lands reminiscent of both the prairies and the east, pushes Into lake and river country not dissimilar to northlands-of Ontario and Que-" bee and finishing along a waterfront that could develop talgla in the mind of the Marltimer, Yet the ehtlre region has a marked character of Its own, one which deftly combines native lore and vigorous Industry."

Canadian Newspapers From the Monthly Letter of Royal Rank of Canada INSTALMENT NO. 2 CIRCULATION AND ADVERTISING Before discussing what they put into their newspapers, it would be well to make a courtesy reference to the business departments. Circulations have increased greatly in recent years indicating that editorial departments are filling a public need in their presentation of news and views. In February this year the Pro-, . Canada's 100 biggest advertisers in 1946 in 00 dailies, 4 week-end papers, 15 magazines 'and 14. farm papers, amounted to $13.3 million, an Increase of 8.4 per i cent over 1945, according to the magazine Marketing. Tills may be the place to corn- report themselves In healthy ' mnt on a statement sometimes heard to the effect that adver tisers "support" newspapers. Advertising Is a business, and tlhe support is not a subsidy, but (payment for a service. "That is why," said the New York Times editorially, "there is so little point or truth in most accusations that newspapers are "dominated' by the political views of their advertisers. A paper's advertisers, like its readers, are a numerous and heterogeneous group, of many diverse opinions. The newipaper has no way of knowing what the political and economic views of lte advertisers are." aama n- m - vfur hxiAe la eamcmk AecuiiLq, thruraqn urLinsuKHnit,W) rrUMUOJ.

PROCKTER, St. Andrew's Cathedral) "And Ruth said . . whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God." These well known and well loved words spoken by Ruth to her mother-in-law are often used and quoted in connection with the most sacred ties which bind people together in love and fidelity. Sometimes they are used as a solo at a wedding. While originally they had no reference to marriage, it is still true that such Biblical words have much more" " relevance and ore much more appropriately suns in church than our secular songs of love und marriage. We need not doubt that Ruth loved her mother-in-law very dearly, and being the sort of person who shows love in submission rather than In assertion she makes the complete self abdication, placing all the direc tion and responsibility on the other's shoulders. "Where you go, I will go. Where you stay, I will stay. Your people, -my people. Your Ood, my God." It Is a' lot that she was offering, and a lot of responsibility she was loading on Naomi. But many lives flourish best If they can love and be useful and leave the big Issues in the htinds of the be loved. In a sense, this is hitchhiking, but It would be a lonely world If everybody decided to be independent The basis of many of the games we play as children is "follow the leader" and they illustrate this quality or tendency we all have to throw In our lot with somebody else and enjoy doing It. There are circumstances In life when we have do do this thing quite deliberately Marriage has already been mentioned. The "weaker vessel" delights to follow the leader. Community demand j our capacity lor ioiiowing ouen . enough, but it is best here too that we do it with our will and intelligence and not simply be-1 cause we like having somebody else take the reiponsfblllty. This Is, however, such a com mon thing among us that we need to consider. Wherever we are and whatever we are doing, there may be someone who is deciding to do what we do. We may be young. A little child can lead them. We may be old. We may be wise or foolish. We may be hanging back or on the march Others decide If only for the moment to go where we go and stay where we stay, Maybe we are completely off guard or very much on our best behaviour. Somebody else, consciously or unconsciously either through appreciation or sheer lethargy decides that for this time they will hitch-hike with, us along life's highway and they cilnKb aboard. When we begin to crtisldcr what kind of people we are, such reflection as these are I am sure quite horrifying. Well might we resent the fact that people so often refuse to live their own lives and that we should have upon our backs not only our own stupidity and sinfulness but that of other people. However, the matter really presents no Insoluble problem to the understanding Christian. Our Blessed Lord has already told us that we are considered only partly as individuals . . , that In His eyes we belong together In the same bundle of life along Indeed with our forbears and thoie who shall come after. This Is one- of the facts of life none the less for being so dimly apprehended In our time This Identity with each other Is at once our hop and our danger. Our dangc; because It can be a case of the blind leading the blind and falling Into the ditch or grave of futility and degreda-tlon. This Initially happened when Adam decided to follow Eve. But the blessed hope Is also here. Our Lord seeks to gtther us Into the bundle of new life which Is His Church, Mr. Body in which we may all be one In Him. It cannot be too frequently brouchthome to such individual lstlc Christians as wr are, that it Is In and through His Church , that we are assured In the New Testament of our Salvation and Eternal Life. Further, It does no harm to be asked questions con cernlng our attitude to 'those who share with us tha blessed hope. To be called out of the world Into the Church Is to become one who said and will keep on saying to the Crucified Saviour: Where you go, I will go. Where you stay I will stay. Your people, my people. Your God, my God. Then we shall not worry about the peope who follow us. For If they follow for even the briefest time they will realise that they are following a follower and a poor one at that. They will ask themselves about the Leader, and from following us they may turn either In appreciation or dissatisfaction to Him. So may they be lifted out' of this grave of futility Into the Eternal Family life of the Church which Is His Body and His Bride. CHISIEHURST.
