LAKE COUCHICHING. Ont, Aug. 11 —(CPl-Dr. Eugene For- sey, director of research for the Canadian Con-gross of Labor. Said tonight that Canada's immigration policy should be dove-failed with genairsl employment policy, a lab- or code, social security and housing policy.

“We want as many immigrants; as will give us the highest possible 1 standard of living for the masses of the people,” said Dr, FOPSPY in a speech prepared for delivery be- fore the Canadian Institute of Pub lic Affairs conference.

"We do not want immigration used as a. means of getting cheep and docile workirs and breaking down the standards organized lub- o; has built up, We do not want it to provide employees with a pod ’ or reserve of unemployed workers who will be taken on when (he em- ployer can make more profit- by employing extra hands. laid off and maintained at the WXPHYOPS’ expense when he cannot, and used as a big stick to keep labor in its place.

"The nation cannot afford to let people’ come here just as they please or as suits the convenience and profit 0f private enterprise. It cannot afford to leave the immi- grant. to sink or swim. Immigrat- ion is a. matter of public concflh- It. should be undertaken only P)‘ public authorities for the pub-lo benefit."

Serious Forest Fires Raging In (Ontario

BAULT STE. MAME, Ont. Aug ll-(OM-The powder keg of Northern Ontario's heat-stricken forests, after popping in dozens of little explosions during the week- end, burst into searing blasts in two places as "increasingly worse" bush fires raged out of control to- night. i

Fenned by a fresh west wind and sided by hot, dry weather, the lightning-started hungry flames licked through crackling second growth timber and slash north and east of the Sault as fire rangers mustered every available resource fr the growing battle.

Only terse bulletins rangers‘ clogged radio circuits were available but it appeared no major stands of’ timber were burning as both areas, at Waws. loo miles north of here and in the Misslssagl Forest Reserve. so miles northeast, had been cut over years before.

The two fires were described by District Forester A. W. Lemon as ‘the worst this year". lfe express-

from the~

ed fears that the Mississagi blaze might reach the proportions of last year's blaze in the same ares which swept through 8.000 acres of slash. The blue began Sunday night and increased in less than two hours to cover S00 acres.

"We are getting no help at all from the weather." said Mr. Le- man. “Fresh west winds today give little hope in either of the - two major fires. There now are 25 bush fires in this division although most of them are under control.
