"Will

"God

iFor

St.

but
as
the
day
jw'hen
Englishmen
recall
stories
of
the
past,
honor
Hheibirth
and
death
of
William
Shakespeare,
and
recount
the
saga
of
the
.Royal
Navy's
daring
attack
on
Zeebrugge
in
1918.
From
days,
of
antiquity,
St.
George
has
been
more
than
a
patriotic
figure
in
many
lands.
In
n.
Spain,
Portugal,
Czarist
Russia,
France
even
among
Mohammedans
of
the
Middle
East
he
has
been
the
fearless
defender
of
chivalry,
the
sword-swinging
doom
of
dragons
and
tyrants
alike.
According
to
early
legend,
to
some
extent
substantiated
by
theolocical
historians,
St.
George
was
born
of
Greek
'Christian
parents
at
Cappa-Se'ddcia
about
270
A.D.
At
the
age
of
17
he
entered
""the
military
service
of
the
Roman
Emperor
Diocletian
and
later
served
at
York,
then
Roman
capital
of
England,
,
Strong
in
his
faith,
he
early
frowned
on
Roman
,
persecution
of
Christians
and
bluntly
rebuked
Dio-
cletian.
To
demands
for
liberty
for
fellow-Chris-
tians,
the
emperor's
reply
was
brutal
and
speedy
:
St
George
was
tortured
and
beheaded
at
Nieo-I
media,
Asia
Minor,
April
23,
303.
I
Reverence
for
his
memory
spread
through
the
s
Middle

churches
were
built
in
his
honor,
the
j
Hellespont
(now
the
Dardanelles)
was
renamed
St.
;
George's
Arm,
and
the
narrow
seas
between
Eng-J
land
and
Ireland
became
George's
Channel.
The
-
crusaders,
honoring
the
saint's
heroic
defence
of
'
his
faith,
made
him
their
patron.

I

letter
In
the
interests
of
Canadians
of
European
background
iwho
are
Interested
In
having
re-
latlves
brought
to
this
country.
There
is
a
great
deal
of
confusion
existing
in
the
country
at
the
present
time
owing
to
the
announcements
made
by
the
Im
migration
Branch
of
the
De
partment
of
Mines
and
Resouces
First,
Europeans
whose
relatives
could
be
considered
as
en-
(
emy
aliens
during
the
last
war
are
still
discriminated
against
to
this
extent
that
as

are
.
being
allowed
into
Canada.
Relatives

Canadians
In
countries
whleh
(
were
allies
of
ours
during
the
last
war
are
being
allowed
Into
Canada,
but
In
two
years'
time
only
800
relatives
have
managed
.to
arrive.
Members
of
Parliament
on
all
sides
cf
the
House
are
being
lit
erally
deluged
..with
appeals
which
the
Immigration
Branch
simply
cannot
handle.
I
wrote
i
to
the
Department
on
one
case
on
Fe&ruary
25
of
this
year
and
It
is
now
April
16
but
I
have
yet
to
receive
a
reply
on
it.
Any
person
wishing
relatives
to
come
out,
should
apply
to
the
local
Immigration
Officer
for
the
initial
papers,
of
which
five
copies
are
necessary.
If
they
do
pot
obtain
the
five
copies
and
Jmt
file
one,
they
will
receive
the
application
back
some
time
within
two
months
asking
them
to
fill
out
the
five
copies.
I
am
writing
this
letter
sim
ply
to
explain
the
absolute
con-
fifsicn
that
exists
over
this
mat
ter
so
that
no
one
can
be
blamed.
The
Immigration
Branch
of
th
Department
of
Mines
and
Resources
claims
that
it
has
not
the

Anyone
with

In

Just
