A correspondence has been going on in the London Times in regard Jo the need o' immigrants in Canada. Someone who signs himself "A Canadian" leads oH' hy slating that Canadians are just as well off without immigrants. ' He says: "Sir Evelyn Cecil in his. letter says that the essential need of Canada Is suitable, population. That seems to lit? a very widespread opinion, but 1 wonder if the holders give it very much thought. After all, when we speak of Canada and its welfare we mean the welfare of the present inhabitants, hul would Canadians belieljer off if they had a population of a hundred millions like their cousins lo'jhe south? If so, why is the average individual ;jn the United Slates not heller off materially or socially lhaii he present jiiliahiUtits (,f Canada, for that they are not is nn acknowledged fact?" ; Answer Given By Another Correspondent. This -is . followed by another correspondent, Denis . Crane, who says: . . . "In contending that immigration will lower I he standard of living for Canadians, and it citing the experience of the United States by' way of example, your correspondent, "A Canadian, ' overlooks an important consideration. "Here are two countries of approximately the same area with jnuighly equivalent natural resources (though, as a mailer of fact, Canada is 700,(1(10 square miles larger and in some im-porta'nl respects richer than her neighbor). Hul America has murt; than KM millions of people to support, whereas Canada, according lo figures just published, has only It V4 millions a number qojle-in'aedipiate lo develop her. natural, wealth. IJouble, treble, by assiniilaltve and selective methods, the Dominion's present population, and by all the laws of economic progress and until the poild of diminishing returns has been reaVhed the material and social slalus of her citizens is bound to advance. 'The comparison is false in another respecb The population of the United Slates has increased since I MHO by nearly III) millions; thai of, her neighbor by less than i millions'. Canada's growth has been slow and sure, for her newcomers are carefully sifted: America's has been fast and mil over-fastidious, fur' it is only lately that she has made disUnelinus and imposed a quota." Main Point Is ' Missed By Both. Tlu' main point in Hie immigration question is missed by both correspondents. They forget (hat Hie populating or a great area like that now .existing in Canada is mure than a national problem. II is a world problem ami concerns every oilier nation. This poiuUof View is'gratlunlly being taken ami will lie more so in the future. While Canada has the right In control her own affairs, she has no right lo control them in such a way as to interfere " with the well being of Hie rest nf the world. The world today needs the great open spaces which exist here and .some nations need them more than others. China ami Japan need them very badly ami unless they are sellled with whiles, the lime will come when the Japanese and Chinese will demand the right lo use Idem. At present we are in no, position o contest those demands, except through the force of Hie Pritish navy, We have no means of defending ourselves. As Inngjas We do not pit .ourselves against the slronger countries; llierrt is no danger of invasion, but migralion is a very important qiiesHon and oiuv iii which -.Japan - js particularly, interested 'hi-day. 5 So the question simmer down lothls Ihat vi-p iniisl cilhe'r popujtaie uiose varanl lands with white people or tin Japanese wjll Some day populate them for us. Viewed in anv 1'uHit. it is an offense against society lo keep vacant the fertile lands of ijanuua when tliey are needed by people of other countries for sclllemeiii purposes, Old Crow Bourbon Whiskey This-adverlisement Is not published or displayed by the Liquor Control Board or by the Government of British Columbia.
