l iiow of emigrants between Canada snd_ths United States was discussed in the House oi

EHilM THE ll. S.

During tine-st Year

48,000 Have Recrossed the Border.

OTTAWA, May BL-The Depart-

menit of Immigration is negotiat- ing with representatives of the two big railway systems to reduce the cost of immigration and coloniza- tion activities abroad. This state- ment was made by Hon. J. A. Robb in the House of ‘Commons yester- day just as the ll-louse adjourned alter three hours’ discussion oi salaries of the Department ofwlm- migration.

There had been much criticism of the alleged duplication oi work ns between the Canadian Govern- ment agencies andthe Canadian Na- tional Railways colonization agents overseas. Right Hon. Arthur Melghen, leader of ‘the Opposition. said it was the "height of bypro- crlsy,” that Canada should have three different immigration servic- es, that of the Government and ‘those oi the two railways. -

He believed the C. ‘P. R. sold more lands when their expenditure ot colonization was $100,000 a year than now. when it was 8750.000 a year.

‘Mr. Robb’: remarks, just as the item was being voted, implied that negotiations were now going op to co-ordinate the three services and eliminate duplicate expenditure wherever possible.

(The migration oi ‘Canadians to the United States cams up again during ithe debate which was on l1 civil Government vote of $800,770 ior the Immigration Department. The item carried. The Opposition claimed that the exodus had been so great in the past iew years that a large part oi Canada's popula- tion was not settled there. .

IHO". James Murdock, Minister of ‘Labor, reported that 48.000 had come back in the past year, and that there was now a steady dirft back to Canadian residence oi~ those who sought their fortunes in the United States. ‘
