“SETTLING IN CANADA"

"Settling in Canada" is the‘ tlole of a pnmplot issued by Col. Edward W. Watt. Jdimt Manager of the Alberdcen ‘Nowvspalpers, Ltd., who wiiih a party of otlher Scottish journ- alists visited Canada during ‘ho summer of 1924 with a view to db- baining first ‘hand information on ‘the emigra-tlion situation, particul- ntrly as affecting Scotland. The patriph-let ‘is a compilation of sketch- es cornt-ribwted to his novrisifliv- ens by Col. Watt and reports of ad- dresses given by him tho Rctafl! Clubs in Canada and in ‘Scotland after his return.

‘Dho rinformoition given respect- ing Canada, and every section ovfdt is cdvorom. is just t'he kind that proslpclfhlve emlgmnllfl are looking for and, if extensively circuflarted in Scotland, should be ‘the means of turning Scottish emigre/ms Canada ward.

Why should it be necessary for public men and officials to give als- curances of Canadian loyalty? A ‘half million Canadians who ‘freely offered iiheir lives in defence of their Soveroiiyn-.|'I“hc‘l'<Yl-agand ‘the Empire should afford proof enough if proof were needed. Loyalty in Canada is not confined Ito race or creed or to any political party. Why then is Canadian loyalty ques- tioned?
