DAILY EDITION Friday, August It is announced that the department of overseas settlement in 'Great Britain is to investigate conditions in Canada and will .come as far west as Winnipeg. The Canadian Department of immigration urges that they investigate Western Canada thor oughly and with that object in view go as far west as the Rocky Mountains. It was not to be expected that the British people would know where the west began or ended. To them it might end at Winnipeg or at tho Rockies. Such ignorance on their part is excusable. For the Canadian Department of Imnrigration to suggest exploring Western Canada and not going beyond the Rockies, is absolutely inexcusable. If Ottawa does not kuow that the main part of the west is on this side or the Rookies, It is time they received a rude s,hock. Winnipeg Only x Midway To West. Winnipeg occupies the centre of the stage so far as Canada is concerned. She is half way between the Atlantic and Pacific, speaking broadly. Everything west of Winnipeg may lie said to be Western Canada and everything east of that is Eastern Canada. The real west is that part between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. To investigate conditions of settlement in Canada without including British Columbia would be a mistake and the Immigration Department should be led to understand that we cannot with impunity be left out. Province Suited To Britishers. British Columbia is belter suited than any other province of Canada for the settlement of British people. Climate is a great thing iu life. It is what we talk about more than anything else in lhe world and its effect on life is important. British Columbia has the climate. It lacks the extreme as found on the prairie and especially ou the coast it should appeal very strongly to the people who come from fireat Britain. There has been opposition1 iu the past from lhe Overseas Settlement Board in Great Britain to sending people to this proyiuce. Possibly it would be the right thing to take up this nutter direct with them with a view to removing any obstacles1 that are at preseut in -their minds to British settlement her;. If we are not to have yellow settlements on the Pacific, then we must have while, for we have a great empty province with plenty of mom for thousands of people to make good livings. Habit Of Knocking Merchant Marine. Some of the newspapers published at interior points are everlastingly knocking lhe Canadian Government Merchant Marine because it does not enter into competition "more keenly with existing transportation companies and cut the rates. It may be easy enough for interior people to criticize shipping, because they are hundreds of miles away from the sea and are not expected to know anything about shipping. Hence they are particularly suited to act as critics. The Merchant Marine has already done good work in introducing Canadian goods to foreign markets and iu providing bottoms for Canadian business when none could otherwise have been secured. There is an annual loss on the operation but onlv n comparatively small one and this may easily be eliminated as the business develops. While we have no brief for the. Government Merchant Marine, it must be admitted that in spite of the difficulties of having having in many rases unsuitable boats and in having to ureax. into new traue nyites under somewhat adverse circunr-Mances, it has done good work already and there, is an immense field open to it for future development of Canadian trade. had developed and where It was found that the wall was still wet After two weeks of Tine weather.
