2,731 Canadians Re- turned From the Un- ited ‘Stated-Settlers Increased" by 4,365.

OTTAWA, -Aprll 30.—Iu March of this yea-r ‘immigration to Canada totalled 6.575, compared with 2,210 m February, an increase of 4,065. Of the 6,575, an official statement issued by ‘the Department of Im- htigrutlon and Colonization shows. that 3,273 were British, 1,297 from the United States and 2,005 from other countries. ‘ln‘ the same month 2.701 Canadians, who had been in the United States six months or longer, returned ‘to the ‘Dominion.

For the fiscal year 1924-25 ended lierch 31st iast, the" total immigra- tion was 111,362, made u‘p of 53,- 178 from the British Isles, 15,818 from the United States, and 42,- 366 from other countries. In the

some period 48, 775 Canadians re- turned from the United States, so that ‘if ‘this number is added to the general immigration total of 111.- 362 the combined count is 155,137.

indications are that there will be considerable activity in immigra- tion during ‘the nent ‘few months. With the opening of navigation on the St. Lawrence last week-end. there was a blig rush of new sett- lers from the ‘British Isles and some of th eEuropeau countries. There is also an increasing movement of the ‘most desirable farm settlers from the United States.

The. Prince Edward Island Public- ity Association. formerly the Tour- ist Association, has removed its of- fices from the DesBrisay Block to the store on Sunnyside formerly occupied by Messrs. Black and Com- pany. The new offices are spacious and comfortable and afford the As- sociation ample space for the carry- ing on -of its ‘important work. This week the window is tastefully decor- ated with purple and white streami- ers and a display of cards and liter- ature advertising the Island Pro- vince is ‘prominent therein.

On Juno 1s‘t. the Women's insti- tute of Charlottetown .will h'ave an office in this bullvdlng also and there they will conduct ‘the ‘Home Handicraft Exchange. The arrange- nten-t null be beneficial both to the Publicity Association and to ‘the in- stitute.

In the past year, with a capital of 3,400. the Association increased the auto traffic to the Island from 800 cars ‘to 1400 and brought the passenger trailfic up to 36,000, an increase of 25% over ‘the former Y9“. ‘In addition ‘to this the As- sociation ‘distributed 30.000 pieces of literature throughout Canada and thc United States antd ‘sent out 1400 specie-l letters answering en- quiries ‘from would-be visitors to the Province. The Association was responsible for the calling together of the com- mittee which produced Carnival Week ialst year from which emanat- cd the Committee which is putting on the ‘Old Home Week and Fire- man‘s_ Tournament induly. it is mainly due to the agita ion ‘and ef- ‘mats of the ‘Prince Edward lslnz" Publicity Association that; events have ‘been introduced and Prince Ed-warvl island received such ?great amount of efficient advert-ls- 118- ' A‘t pro-sent the Association ‘has on the Press 20.000 new booklets‘ for distribution and the present ‘mail- ing list totals ‘to over 2.000.

the Association's ‘advertising was in 29 papers and periodicals ‘with a comlbined circulation of over two million copies. Arising out of this was the -g‘rea‘t increase ‘in ‘the =pass- enger and automobile traffic of last year so that the Association's actlvi ties bear visible proof of ‘their value.

MONTREAL, April 30- Rev A. S. Reid, clerk of the Montreal Presbytery, was relieved of office and overtures will be made to the General Assembly to remove Rev Dr D. J. Fraser, principal of the Presbyterian Theological College, uud any other professors‘ 0t’ the college opposed to church union. according to decision reached yes- terday at the final general meet- ing’ of the Montreal Presbytery prior to entry into the United Church -in June. , Tenseness chatnged the atmos- phere when the Rev A. S. Reid d6- clined to vacate his ‘office, or to hand over the papers and docu- ments ofthc office to the Rev. Wm. Monroe, who was appointed the new clerk. Upon declining to accede to the wish of the Presby- tery as expressed in resolutions, Rev Mr Reid was asked jln. another resolution -to fort-hwith tha-nd over the papers‘ and record-s to the new clerk. Again he declined.

At the close ‘of l-he afternoon session, Rev Mr Reid was again asked to comply with the desires of the Presbytery. scooping all the papers on the table into a bag. ‘he closed it, and holding on to the bag tightly again declined to hand them over. A committee was ap- pointed to take such steps as were deemed necessary. to secure pos- session of the records. Presbyterian College

Rev A. G. MacKinnon then intro duced the following resolution:

“Vwhereals the principal of the Presbyterian College of Montreal is president of tlhe Presbyterian Church Association, and therefore publicly identified with the non- coucurring members and churches of this Presbytery.

"And whereas, the Presbyterian College of Montreal will after June i), 1925. be a collegeJ of the United Church of ‘Canada;

“And whereas, only a recognized member of the United Church can fittingiy occupy the position of prin-c"pal after that date;

"The Presbytery of Montreal overtures the venerable the Gener- al Assembly to discontinue after June 9, 1925, the services of the principal and any member of the profe-ssorial staff known t obe op- posed to the policy of the church regarding union;

“A-nd that the ‘presbytery iiurth- er overture the General Assem- ‘bly to appoint the Rev Prof. R. E. Welsh, D. D.. as aching principal after June 10."

Opinions, some in heated tones. were then cxihauged ‘back and forth from the non-concurrent camp and the main body of Union- ists, as to the advisability of pass- ing such a motion‘. Dr. E. Scott called it "gratuimis, need- less, useless," anti asked that it be withdrawn. Dr. Geo. E. Itoss pronounced it "ruthless-said brut- at." Dr Dickie said it wooldbe interpreted us u “pinpricking policy". and would engender more bitterness.

Asking Rev Mr MacKlnne: to take the chair, the moderator, Rev S. T. Martdn, -gave ‘his views on ‘the motion. He declared it would be greatly to the prejudice of "the Uni-ted Church to ‘have a principal opposed to such church and who ‘had declared him-self an- tagonistic to union. A union tprlncipal, it was a fair supposition would mean union students; a non-union principal, on the other hand. would mean non-union etu- deto; and the presbytery as consti- tuents of the college should ex- press an opinion that it was a matter of vital importance to ‘have a unionist principal next term.

Rev J. J. McCuskill asserted his opinion that the Presbytery twss starting something that. would be ‘hard to stop. He said they had already eommdtted ‘the preebytery to one Jaw suit, and a tremendous lot of litigation seemed ahead. Dr R. W. Dickie made an amend- moot-chat the matter be remitted to a representative committee to seek some common ground on the question. He suggested six names for that committee, three declined to be on ‘it, and ‘being un- tdbie to obtain, othem, ‘he withdrew the amendment.
