Immigration
At a recent meeting of the Mari- time Board of Trade. the , estion of procuring suitable immigrants for the Atlantic Region was one of the outstanding points of discus- sion on the agenda. Dr. C. H. Biakney of Moncton. in a concise speech gave the Board a great deal of information on the problem of inducing newcomers to make their permanent homes in Eastern Can- ada. Dr. Blakney's speech, which has been much acclaimed. has been issued in pamphlet form. to mem- bers of the various Boards of Trade. throughout the Maritime Provinces. and the immigration question will be given prior consid- eration and close study by all Boards in the coming months.
More than twenty years ago.Mr. .1. 0. Hyndman made a search and study of the potentialities of Prince Edward Island in respect to im- migration and colonization and, at inat timc. delivered an address be- fore the Charlottetown Rotary Club on the subject. Below is reproduced some of the salient points of that nddress. The opinions expressed at that time. by Mr. Hyndman arc in great part as applicable todav as they were twenty years ago Mr. Hyndman stated in part:
"immigration or Colonization is a problem requiring most careful study and attention by those most competent to handle it. so as to best meet the special nr-eds of each Province. It should not be diffi- cult or impossible in Prince Ed- ward Island to ilnd a common- sense solution if our own citizens were awakened to its importanco as a vital factor in our economic life and future prosperity. Robert Louis Stevensoti used in say. 'God give me a young man with brains enough to make a fool of himself'
"He meant bv this. I think. that every fresh adventure. evcrv ex- periment. everv steo forward.',in- mlves somebodv in the risk of making himself look siliv or as hr- :-ald making a fool of himself

Proposals
By Maritime Board Recall Address By J.
O. Hyndman
I have decided to take the risk of making a fool of myself by intro- ducing it. of which you will be better able to judge as I proceed.
Opportunities And Facilities
"If. on making a study or sur- vey of the situation. we discover there is a real need. what are the cpportunities and facilities avail- able and what line of action should be taken to achieve our objective? I have given considerable atten- tion to this subject for some time part and have discussed it with members of the Boards of Trade. farmers and politicians. but find very few who have given it anv thought or regarded it of much importance to our Province.
"I had been in hopes that someone else better titted would be found to launch the subject. and when one undertakes to introduce a new idea. he at once subjccts himself to severe criticisms. and most people naturally do not care to become a target.
"I had some experience in re- gard to that durlnrz my activities with the Board of Trade. When you advocated the second Car Fe-rry. standardization of the rail-' road. Pullmans. trading at home or changing of the rule of the road it was amazing to find the many differences in ooinion among our own people. When I became n'.'csidenI:.nf the Associated Boards rf Trade in l923 the first thing 1 :'.ia"ied out to do was to endeavor to bring agricultural and commer- cial interests closer together. When I invited all Agricultural Societies to send representatives to our annual conference in 1924. I was mmowhat ridiculed. but when I invited the Women's Institutes to join us in 1925. it was taken more or 1955 as a joke. '
"The clfort. however. in foster 1 better feelintz and to strive to work together for our common in- icrests, succeeded beyond anticipa- iions. and the Boards of Trade and commercial interests have won the go d will and esteem inf the awricul ural community in ihlsPrn- vince to a much creator extent than it in be found elsewhere.
"I think all Board of Trade members will arree. toriav. that such a move resulting in the closer co-operation of all citizens has turned out to be of the rzreatest value in promotiurz the welfare of this agricultural Province.
Many Advocates Now
"What do we find at present" That this ver'y thing we initiated in Prince Edward Island in l924 is being advocated throughout the length and breadth of the Domin- ion. and is one of the principal planks in the platform of the Can- adian Chamber of Commerce. At the annual meeting of the Cham- ber in Vancouver. last fall Pre- mier Bracken of Manitoba read a valuarhle paper on the subject.
"Only lasi:.week an ,edliorial ap- peared in the Telegraph Journal of Saint John. taking credit for the Board of Trade of that citv as having been the first in Canada in make it move in bringing agricult- ural and commercial interests closer together. as a result of .1 joint conference held last summer to investigate the agricultural sit- uation of New Brunswick. On my attention being called to same. I immediately wrote. to the editor nl the paper, pointing out that the movement originated here and that the credit belonged to Prince Ed- ward Island. also pointing out that .'.s far back as 1920 we held a "Farmersl Day' at the Charlotte- town Rotary Club. the first event of the kind in Canada.
"Why do I refer to these matters at this time, which apparently would have no connection with the subject under discussion?
The Potato Pendulum
"For the reason that it is essen- tial that we conserve our present prosperity and do not allow any- thing through negligence or lack of foresight on our part to disturb the present economic situation.
which is based on the foundation.
Tclu-rror.
of mixed farming and chiefly live stock and dairylng. There is a tendency at present to focus too much on the potato industry and it is a matter of much concern to not only the dairy interests. but to our whole industrial and mercan- tile life. to see that the potato rendulum is not allowed to swing no for in the opposite direction. and by doing so. undermine our most valuable and dependable branch of the agricultural indus- try.
"This has a very important bear- in; in preserving the present high standard we have attained in the dairy industry: and for the furth- er reason that the success of the Boards of Trade in the past in co- operating with the agricultural in- tereats. should urge us to continue along with similar lines, as we have already partly paved the way to enlist the co-operation of the various interests. if handled diplo- matically. .This is very essential if the present proposal to maintain and increase our population is to be successful.
"What. is of the utmost import- esicc. however. is that,we sell the idea first to ourselves-to the lead- lng farming and commercial in- tcrests, as well as to the politi- clans. You cannot expect Govern- ments to act until public opinion fit.-st. makes demand. I believe t is is the opportune time. and te responsibility is up to you and me to lead the way. and by doing so render a very useful service to the F('0llOmlC life of our Province. If you ask the ordinary citizen. to- day, his opinion on immigration. the reply usually given is iwe should try to devise some means of keeping our boys and girls at home rather t.han bring: in immigrants'
First Consideration
"I quite agree that first consid- eration should be givcn to better- i'ig conditions at home by every possible means. in order to insure good. steady and profitable em- pioymcnt for all who desire to re- main hero. and that. special atten- tion should be given to agricult- ural education. so that every facil- iiy and advantage will be avail- able in our own Province. which has the highest percentage of rural ponulation of any Province in Canada. No matter how ideal conditions may be. a certain num- bcr will always have a hankering to emigrate. The great trouble in the past has been that many of our young: people were encouraged by their parents to emigrate. as a
result of the development of our
natural resources having been rc- tarded through discrimination in transportation. and the further reason that our educational sys- tem encouraged every other line

At a later point in his speech Mr. Hyndma read the following extract from a r ' ” c' t ” at an Associated Boards of Trade conference. several years pl '
ly. .
"Whereas it is generally conced- ed that, in the past other parts of the Dominion have been boosted and favoured largely at the ex- pense and neglect of Maritime Pro- vince interests. and whereas the population in Prince Edward island has dwlndled'from 109.078 in 1891 to 88.536 in 1921. or a loss ol over 20,000 in thirty years. largely on account of the lack of transporta- tion facillties, and non-fulfillment of the terms of Confederation for many years past. leaving our Pro- vince in such a position that she could not take advantage of the transportation facilities available to citizens on the mainland. and thus debarred from the proper de- velopment of her natural resources. consisting principally of agricult-
ure, llvs stock, fisheries and tour- lsta resorts. . "Be it therefore
the P ' ' Clove- tiuoned to grant this Province special ” ” in the ,
tlon of. a colonization and public- ity policy to help offset the meal- cultvble loss sustained in the past. and that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Honourable. the Prime Minister of Canada, the Department of Immigration and
resolved that be

how he had endeavored to get the Hudson Bay Company's overuse Settlement interested in the Pro- vince. They said "We are inter- ested in your fox farms and fur business. But we will not send out settlers unless there is some proper department to look after them. when they arrive."
We should have. and must strive to get a Provincial Department of Immigration, statistics and Publi-
