It is the most sensible and most logical letter I have read in all of thosj tenant and landlord letters that have been appearing in the Daily News of late. I certainly do agree with you when you say that it works both ways. But if the landlord hapoens to get a lemon he is really up against it, because a tenant can do more damage to a dwelling in a month than the landlord in a y?ar.

The workshops of the Royal Cnnalian Flectrical and Mechanical Engineers are expanding rapidly in step with the growth of the Canadian ' Army Active Force. The men of the R.C.F..M.E, are doing their part to muke Canada strong. There is in urgent need for skilled tradesmen to man the workshops of this vitally important corps of "soldier-tradesmen". Skilled craftsmen are required to fill the posts of automotive mechanics, fitters, toolmakers, radar and radio technicians, instrument makers, welders. Canadian Chamber of Commerce believes THE that Canada should plan to double its population 5n 25 years, and believes further that this is imperative to meet our growing defence and production manpower requirements. Thomas Oakley, Toronto, chairman of the executive committee on immigration in the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, says: , "With its vast and exposed land area of ap-" proximately three and one half million square tjniles, Canada is quite incapable of defending itself Ifrom attacks which it may have to meet from the 2 north, namely from Russia. Notwithstanding the y'act that Canada will have the assistance of the 'JJnited States in meeting any such aggression, the tf act remains that Alaska and Northern Canada are -very exposed and very vulnerable." Facilities should be provided for encouraging immigration from, the United States, Mr. Oakley Purges and, toward this end, asks the government to .re-open information and immigration offices which --Canada had in the United States prior to 1930. One -of the advantages of getting immigrants from the United States is the fact that no transportation J problem is involved. The Canadian Chamber representative ex-; presses approval of the government's present plan I providing for assisted transportation for selected ! immigrants from Great Britain and Northern Europe, but urges acceleration of the number being selected and brought into the country. ; Mr. Oakley states that "Canada's leaders should I recognize the moral aspect of immigration in today's world. Canadians in all endeavour, including those in government, have a moral responsibility to ; share the natural wealth and opportunities with all ; freedom-loving peopte at this crucial stage in AGRICULTURAL Si; heaven forDid, as I have also worked in rented houses, suites and rooms for the tenants, I mean good tenants.
