Canadian Citizenship

Nearly a uiillion naturalized Canadians. in addition to liiilliolis who were born in Can- ada and uiauy British subjects now resident here, will attain full Canadian citizenship through the citizenship bill now before ‘the Federal House.

Uiicc the bill goes into cffcct- all persons burn in Lltiiaill or on a Canadian ship will be Canadian ciflzens from birth. This also applies to children of such persons, including those born out of wedlock.

Aliens who desire naturalization will have to file a declaration of intention. and then will have to reside here for five years before qualifying for Canadian citizenship.

British stibiects wlio move to Canada will not be required to file a declaration of inten- tiou. They can apply for Canadian citizen- ship lfter five years residence here. but the! must go before a iudge for a hearing and make formal application for citizenship.

Ole of the features of the new bill is that. while the requirement that all applicants speak either English or French is to be retain- ed, this will be modified in the case of per- sons who have resided in Canada for 20 years. Many Canadians, particularly in the West. speak neither English nor French fluently, but they have played a leading part in the develop- ment of this country and in many cases have offered sons or daughters to the armed serv- ices. Another commendable feature is the fact that measures will be taken to impress on ap- plicants the value of Canadian citizenship. It will be made an impressive and significant step, rather than the somewhat prefunctory lct it is at present.

Canadian-born Japanese and naturalized Japanese will automatically become Canadian citizens under the new bill. While naturalized Iapaliese were required to register during the war, their naturalization was never revoked.

The new bill will give emancipation to a large number of women, in that it will grant citizenship to women marrying Canadian mien, and will allow Canadian women marrying aliens to retain their citizenship if, they so desire.

The Great Betrayal

During the most difficult days of the war, and particularly during the reinforcement crisis of last November, Quebec's refusal to support conscription for overseas service came in for a great deal of discussion. Too often many of those favoring conscription placed the blame unfairly on the people of that Province. Now comes a speaker of French racial origin .who calls to account the leaders who misled his compatriots on this issue so vital to national understanding. Mr. Paul L'Anglais, a French- spcaking radio producer, spoke recently to the Advertising and Sales Executive Club in Mont- real. In his address he said “a deliberate pat- tern" had been followed by Canada's Govern- ment and political leadeks toJcad French Can- ada against conscription, "

Mr. IfAiiglais went on to point out that conscription “had been deliberately misrepre- sented to the French-Canadians by the Govern- ment and the politicians, who sought to exploit the ill feeling that was engendered during tihe First Great War."

The policy of the Government at Ottawa was to hold Quebec voting solidly for the Lib- eral Party by keeping the Province septrstcd from the rest of ‘the nation. For, had con- scription been sold to Quebec, as it could have been, the politicians could not have used the sauic liogy zigain and yet again as they have done.

These paragraphs from Mr. L'Anglai|' speech are worth study:

"Don't blame Quebeckers for being antl- conscrtpttonlsts. Blame the Govemmgqfimmd the political parties who taught them to be l0. who wanted them to be so, and who ascended from 1917 to 1939. But, oven after twenty-two years of snot-conscription balk, it would lino been possible to sell lt to Quebec 1f somdaody tn authority had really tried. ., .

Precept And Example

, . Commenting on Russia's demand. Dut for- ward by- Foreign Commissar Molotoff. that the atomic‘ bomb should not be kept secret. The Toronto Glob: and Mail aptly observes:

“The apparent reasonableness of Mr. Moloboff’: demand would be much more strongly fortified if the secrecy for which he upbraids others were not such a fundamental lemcnt in Russia's own policy. The Russians must realize that‘ mutual trust and co-operation are not one-sided. They have to be given as well as received if they are to be real. Before repeating his demand. Mr. Molotoff might have done something to_asscrt Russia's trust in the democracies.

“A great deal would be done toward es- tablishing this by such a simple and necessary decision a to permit the world's press free access to the Soviet Union, to report without restraint the facts about it, inst as Russian journalists are free to report the life 0f other nations. Then Mr. Molotoffls grievance would become unanswerablc."

Good faith cannot be bought on the in- ternat-ional bargaining counter. or otherwise wonimercialized by barter and exchange. Con- fidence begets corifidenoe and knows no other sign.

George Worribell, father of circuses and menageries, died this date i850; a native of Soho, London, as a boy he showed great foiid- ness in keeping birds, rabbits, dogs, etc., but the circumstance that led to his becoming proprietor of s. travelling menagerie was ac- cidental; a shoemaker by trade, he visited London docks where he purchased the first pair of boa cpnstrictors ever imported for 75 pounds; he exhibited them in his shop, and soon cleared more than double the cost of his investment; this inspired him to add to his collection, till ultimately hc owned three huge menageries, travelling the country, one of which he shipped to the United States, fotiiid- ing the travelling lllClla-Efifid and circus iii- dustry of that republic; he amassed a huge fortune but could not be induced to retire. and died in harness at North Allertorl.

In accordance with the English Educa- tion Act, I944, the compulsory school-age for British children which now ranges from 5-14 years is to be extended to 15 years of age as from 1st April, I947. At a later date as soon as the necessary teachers and school buildings are available it will be raised to I6. As stated by Miss Ellen Wilkinson, Britain's blinister of Education, st a Press Conference, the neces- sary measures havealready been taken for put- ting into effect in April I947, the extension of the school-leaving age to I5. This means that additional teachers will have to be trained for about 390,000 new pupils. For every 3o chil- dren one new teacher is required, and so al- together some 13,000 teachers will have to be trained by April i947. To deal with this task, 20 new training colleges are to be built dur- ing the course of 1945, and a further 2o during r946. Men and women demobilizcd from the Armed Forces will probably supply most of the first contingent ofltneyv teachers.

Organization of a Provincial handicrafts and small industry bureau was announced rec- cently by Hon. Paul Bcaulieu. Minister of Trade and Commerce for Quebec.

The problem so far as the United States is concerned, is notlack of food available for export but the absence of funds to finance shipments abroad.” Commenting in a subsequent issue of The Timr, a reader had this to say: “This, if true, is an appalling condition of affairs-for there are no dollars outside of Aftlcficl."
