Immigration

There are two ways of looking It a restrictive immigration policy such as the one the Canadian (lov- ernment put into effect the other day. One is to call it shortsiglited. 'I'he other is to call it practical. There is something to be said for each view. -

There is no doubt that tlaiiauia is still very much a growing nation. To say nothing of the stimulus to farm production and manufacturing which thousands of newcomers pro- vide, a young nation which does not encourage a steady and high rate of immigration from older countries is likely to develop into an ingrown, Introversive community lacking a broad and expansive culture. The current policy does not affect pro- spective immigrants from the Com- monwealth, France and the United States; and that is to be commended. Nevertheless, it would not be a good thing for Canada's prestige abroad were word to get around that racial discrimination is the main aspect of her immigration policy.

On the other hand, of course, there are other practical considera- tions which must be faced. One of these is the inevitable unemploy- ment of the winter season. It would be neither right nor wise to allow large numbers of persons to come into the country without reasonable assurance of their finding jobs. In such circumstances they would be just as well off where they are, per- haps better.

The problem. then, is to kccp to A policy which is realistic in the light of the country's ability to ab- sorb immigrants, but which at the same time does not reflect an of- ficial attitude of defeatism respect- ing year around employment. No doubt, the Government gave earnest consideration to these things before issuing the recent directive. As far as Hungarian refugees are concern- ed, those who have been waiting for months to come to Canada, it would be a great pity if commitmcnts en- tered into by the previous Govern- ment were not honoured in letter and in spirit.

Digging Up The Past

Archaeologists have been making some significant discoveries in wcst- ern Canada this summer. Their finds may throw new light on the arca's pre-historic period, the customs and ndornments of early day Indians. Oldest evidence of human habitation In British Columbia was uncovered by Dr. (T. E. Borden. a University of British Columbia archacologist. on the east bank of the Fix-iscr River northwest of Yale. Precise age of the Yale site cannot be deter- mincd until charcoal there has been tested for radioactivity. but calcu- lations indicate that thc sands in which postliolcs from a house built therc by Indians was laid down when the Frascr River was Sf) fcct higher than it is today. Two ycars ago 8il'llll?ll' evidence of Indian lodges was found at Locarno Beach near Vancouver. and It was dated by radioactivity of charcoal fire ash at about 500 B.C. The Yale discovci-y Ia believed to predate Locarno's.

What is described as the most remarkable archaeological discovery of all time in British Columbia was unearthed a few weeks ago by unl- versity students on the Fraser River ( delta.

I. 8. McNeIAli, Aehlor lrcliuologlst At the National Museum At Ottawa. identified an arrowhead found at Vilna as A Clovis point, one of the oldest ever to be unearthed In Can- ada. Existence of this Anowhead is accepted as additional evidence that man first came to North America from Asia by way of the Bering Straits and Alaska. At the time the Vilna arrowhead was made the ice age probably was receding, and scientists speculate that an open corridor existed through what is now Alberta.

Evening Jail Sessions

What to do about teenagers who run foul of the law for the first time and for lesser offences is a question which has bothered law enforcement officers for many years-in fact. ever since they started to think about rehabilita- tion as well as punishment of of- fenders. To put them in jail with oidcr and more hardened lawbreak- ers doesn't seem quite the right thing to do, while to let them go

.with a word of warning is likely to

encourage further disrespect for the law. it's a difficult question.

Pei-liaps a plan now being tried out in Vancouver will provide an answer. The plan, which has been in use in England for some time, provides for offenders of a certain type. who ordinarily would be given short jail terms, to "serve time" by attending "evening jail sessions" regularly. These would last from early evening to the youths' proper bedtime. This would curtail their freedom at the most dangerous time of the day for potential lawbreakers. At the same time. they would be assigned tasks intended to reform their social outlooks. These tasks would be under the supervision of trained personnel. Attendance would be compulsory: and it would be clearly understood that failure to turn up on time would mean trans- fer to a regular prison. The process would continue until in the opinion of the court satisfactory rehabilita- tion had taken place.

There are. of course. certain types to whom this sort of thing would be useless. But for the young person of any promise, despite a mild venture into lawlessness. it might be A thousand times better than ”durance vile". In any event, the Vancouver experiment will be watched with interest.

Mr. Khrushchev may be sincere in his picdiction that the Soviet Union will soon overtake the United States in production of milk and other dairy products. But his cows will have to do a lot better than they are doing now. According to a rcccnt statistical report. the milk yield per American cow in 19.36 was about 6.000 pounds. The highest yield in Russia's stale farms-the most efficient ones-was abou't 4,700 pounds. It was much lower on col- lcctive farms which are something like co-opcrativcs and not directly undcr state management.

Regretiable Strike Incidents

By ”0nlooker" Thomson Newspapers. London. England Bureau

It has been A week of some ug- liness. In two main strikes - one At London's icgetable markets. the other among bus operators outside London there have been Acenes more in keeping with thosc pre-war gangster films of the Gap- ney-Bogart-Rnbinson era.

Outside the main bus depots ll been scenes that have often top- pled into violence as the lorries drew up with their fresh loads from the country districts. The bos- ses. packers. and clerks unloaded them as the striking porters wait- ed outside.

Outside the main bus depots it has been worse. One coach oper- ator told me bluntly: "We have Anme staff ready to keep on work- ing. but we have taken them off the road. And wc have done it to avoid bloodshed." That is pretty strong talk for I957 Britain. It

comes as a shock to most people I

that it "can still happen here."

There were A few who recalled that A transports strike was the first sirlke that happened tliAt leAd to the overall General Srike In I926, and they gloomily predicted that this one would go the slmc way. But both sides in the trans- port strike anyway have now u-en sense.

The busmen Asked for an In- crease of 52.70 A week. The em plnycrs offered 40 cents. Now tlicx have settled for A sensible half- way figure - 8l.5l. And 100.000 striking busmen are back At work FALL OUT
