Take Look At Immigrgtion By HAROLD TILLEY Canadian Press Correspondent CANBERRA CP Ausura iias flow of immigrants ever fruitful source of controversy is undergoing particularly lively scrutiny at present Primarily the examination is seasonal because this is the riod marking the anniversary of Australias founding in 1737 Eaci year the anniversary furnishes an occasion for Sr rnons speeches addresses and newspaper articles on national achievements national aspira tions and in recent years nat uralization of percentage of the nonB sh migrants There is also citizenship convention at which the main theme Is migrants and their effective economic and social assimila tion References to the need of more population for defame of more men and machinery for produci Son and of more men women and children as local market to seor cnrzume the nonex portable surplus of production are in the seasonal pattern factor adding zest to dis cussions this year is the fact that Decembers unemployment figure of 115000 was higher than any since the depression of the 1930 TOO MANY MEN But for the clackened 1061M migrant flow the unemployment figure would no doubt have been higher although for some time the emphasis in migram selection has been on migrant dependentsrather than on ni grant breadwinners with the ob icct of bridging theimbalanee of sexes It is becoming clear that to maintain anything like an an nual intake of 125000 Australia may have to offer more induce ment or be less choosey in se lection For people with capital Aus tralia offers unlimited opportun ities but as country in which free migrants might seek brighter opening on the bread ble in their own countries Aus tralia no longer outshines most others That does n2 mean Azstra lian conditions have deterio rated It does mean that in Britain and in European coun tries from which Australia has been able to attract more than 1000000 new citizens condi tions have improved vastly and on balance there now is no need for skilled and unskilled workers and their families to move from their traditional homes or so far from them Now Faces Tax Bill TORONTO CPlCity counA cil voted Monday to terminate an agreement with the Canadian Pacific Railway that exempts the Royal York Hotel from pay ment of business taxes and per mits the companys steam heat ing plant to avoid payment of real property taxes The decision expected to reap another $171000 in taxes takes effect next Jan and will on followed by an appeal to the provincial legislature next year for an amendment to the As sessment Act to permit the cit to tax the two operations At present the Royal York pays the city $10000 year in lieu of the business tax and an other $7500 annually in place of the property tax on its steam plant Only one other Ontario hotel is believed to enjoy such tax privilegesthe Chateau Laurier Hotel in Ottawa The steam plant provides heat for the Royal York Union Station the federal customs building and the post office The agreement between the city and the CPR was set out in report by board of control adopted by city council in 1049 It provides for the payment of $17500 annually with the city promising not to seek taxleaIs lation as long as the agreement andbutter front than is avails continues We are behind Russia in northern development way he hind said Dr Rynard The Conservatives did not move in to
