Notwithstanding all that has been said about the exodusof m" Pmple, 11 is vcry doubtful whether Canadians realize the e_x- tent to whichylic "rt-ll blood o1 their country is rapidly being pour- ed into the Lnitcd States, as a result of the combination of the American quota law on the one hand, and the Liberal Prugrgs. sivc tariff poiit-yon the other. _ Lei I111: explain.’ During the ten years immediately pre- ceding the War, immigration into thoUnited States from all countries averaged 1,012,000 annually. From this must be de- ducted about 2o0,00o a year for emigration, which consisted largely of farmers and their families moving to the Canadian prairies. As, however, there was a decided movement in Am- erica front thc farms t0 thc cities, it may be taken for grant- ed that at least 900,000 persons were absorbed per year by the industrial life of that country, in addition to the natural growth by birth. _ During; the war and since, American manufactories have increased enormously in sizc, efficiency and wealth, and as a result of the surplus war gold licld in the United States all the well. orgzinizcil institutions arc able to command today what- evcr capital they require foigpurposcs of expansion. (ln top of these facts the Washington Government hziS raised its tariff to a point of maximum protection, while, under massed production methods now being brought to a point hither- to unknown in the world, industrial costs are bcing rapidly rc- dnccd, so that the United States is enabled to export: its manu- factured products zigainst competition even from such low wage countries as England and Germany, llctwccu 1918 and 1924 the American industries had not only to fC-ZldjllSl themselves after war expansion but to absorb Normal conditions, therefore, have 11ot been attained until 1925. Judging from \Vull Street stock prices it nray be said‘ 110t only that the fac- tories are working to full capacity but that they have in their minds plans for very great expansion. f Under these circumstances it is btit reasonable to suppose that, 11ot only will the 900,000 additional help required annually prior to the war be insufficient, but that a very considerable i11- crcase 011 that figure will bc called for by the industries. A conservative estimate has placed that figure at 1,500,000) pcr n11- num. lt is to this fact that Canada tnust give her gravest con- sideration, for as is well known the American quota law dc- cided i11 1921 that not more than 150,000 persousavould be admitted annually from (Brent Britain and Europe.

You have know-n me a good many IMMIGRATION POLICY RMERS or wnsrnnn cannon MINEItS or r1312 son. We have already touched on immigraiiiiif; so let us pursue the subject a little further. i The present Government's policy on this subject is to bring here to Canada only immigrants who will go on the land. Is this sound? The market of the United States being effectually shut against us, we find some outlet for certain agricultural products 1n Great‘ Britain, but the bulk of our farm produce, except wheat, is consumed in Canada. lt is a fact, however, that our Eastern ‘farmers are not, on the‘ whole. prosperous. Demand creates price, and’ when we find low prices we must conclude that the supply 1's greater than the demand. That Canadian mixed farm produce exceeds the home demand lst: We have not stifiicient industries to create the centres of population that will absorb the products of the land. 2nd: Tile tariff i". 11ot suflficicntly high to bar out the agricultural products of other countries, notably those of the United States. This country last year sent into Canada millions of dollars worth of the very things we grow on our Canadian farms. Then why should we placc on the land more immigrants to produce more, when we cannot profitably sell what we now grow? Is not the remedy rather this. First bar out, by increased tariff, the farm products of other countries which enter into competition with our own. Secondly, protect our prcscnt and new industries with a tariff sufficiently high and stable as to give confidence to ihc capitalists to venture his moncywith ilic assurance of a profit that will in turn permit payment to the operatives of a living wage. When we do this, there will be 11o need of spending millions to attract immigrants, for increased industries will crczfte the demand for more labor; they will enlarge and build more towns and cities and will open better markets for our farm produce. What if we: pay a little more for what we cat, and what we wear, if we haw more money f0 buy nrifh! _ We talk about Canada :1 Nation! llow can we become u nation if we do not grow strong and self reliant? How coil we grow strong and self reliant if we have not within ourselves all the elements of population that go to make a country, the residents of industrial towns and cities on ihc one hand, and 011 the other that great back-bone of every country, a farming population. This we can accomplish if we will, but we can only attain the 'I‘_HE FA ~ cud by conserving and manufacturing at home our raw products, by protecting our agriculturists from the killing competition of other countries, and by encouraging industries by a sufficient and stable tarifl‘. Whcrefrom comes the cry today for a lower tariff, and who are those wh have already forced their views on the Canadian majority? T ey are the farmers of the Wcst~—and chiefly from those two new Provinces, Saskatchewan and Alberta. As was pointed out in a previous article, the bulk of tlicsc farmers comes from the Western States and from liuropc. 111 the Western States these farmers, or their fathers before them, by wheat growing, ‘exhausted the lands of Minnesota and Dakota, and then, with their sons and with their stock, trcked to Western Canada, there to pursue the same policy of draining the land, mak- ing it yield from its ricli virgin bosom the bountiful crop of win-at, but never returning anything to it. Land, be it ever so rich, is not inexhaustible and it behooves these farmers to make their money whilst the making is good, Their policy is to make all the money they can in the shortest time possible. When the land is exhausted d0 like they did in Minnesota . Sell out. The something may be said of the farmers who came from Free Trade England. These men are interested in two ‘things only-—sciliug their wheat in the best market, and buying all their needs i11 the cheapest. We of the East are the real Canadians-we it was who made the sacrifice in order that the West might be populated and dcv- eloped. We stood the costs of building the railways through the Western prairies that they might export their wheat. 'l‘hcsc Western Provinces are our children; but as children, before yet attaining manhood, would dictate to the parents what is best for them, so these young Provinces, whom we have brought into being and who have hardly as yet taken on long pants, would dictate to their Eastern parents. What matters to them if Canadian indus- tries are killed so long as they scll vi-iiczit in Liverpool or Chicago? What matters that the Eastern farmer is under sold by his Ameri- can or Australian competitor, so long as the \Vcstcrucr can buy more cheaply from the United States? And so we find M1‘.
