country added to the strength of the opinion that Canada had followed a mistaken set of plans in regard to immigraâ€" tion. The demand for something radically different was met by Hon. Mr. Gordon‘s plan of restricting immigration to the minimum. "Of course, it has been recognized that Hon. Mr. Gordon‘s plan of restricted immigration, while exactly what was needed for‘the moment, was not to be the recognized policy of Canada for all time. With so large a country and with so great resources, Canada may well be expected to care for more than ten million people, There will be a general feelis»m, tiowever, that â€"the greatest thought should be given asset. Even the British immigration was not as carefully watched as it should have been, with the result that the quality did not keep pace with the quantity. When the deâ€" pression reached Canada, there was a general feeling that much of.the difficulty imight be traced to illâ€"considered imâ€" migration schemes. The attitude of a group of insolent aliens in attempting to create trouble and revoluion in the Hon. W. A. Gordon, the Minister from the North, has been the only Minister of Immigration in many years who has given anything like satisfaction to the people of Canada. Hon. Mr. Gordon won very general approval by his restricâ€" tion of immigration, his policy amounting to a practical stopping of a large part of the immigration that had been creating so serious a problem here. It is a striking commenâ€" tary on the poor policy of the immigration department to say that the first minister to win popular approval was the one who practically stopped immigration aitogether. For years there has been a feeling that the whole immigration policy was a mistaken one and of no advantage to anyone exeept the railroad and steamship companies and a few speculators. The country was filled with foreigners who were in many ways an injury to the country instead of an There need be little said about the love or loyalty of tIhe people of this country. But if the people are as faithful and true as in the days gone by, they are probably more inâ€" telligent and thoughtful. There is a widespread feeling that sacrifice is not alone for the many, but for all. There is realization that no love of country is aroused by the cry to give that a few may have more than they have sense to handie. It is worse than absurd to expect all the sacrifice to be on the part of the men and women receiving small pay. Surely Canada should mean more to Sir Joseph Flaâ€" velle with his millions made from this country than to the «ditchâ€"digger or the other humble worker who has never been able, despite all honesty and industry, to make more than fair existence. The point is that the premier and the rich men should show the way to sacrifice. It is all very fine for a man whose income runs into the tens of thousands to talk about $5.00 a month being a fair sacrifice. As a matter of fact it is neither fair for him nor for the man making a few hundreds a year. In the one case it is no sacrifice at all. In the other case it is a burden beyond reason. The Canaâ€" dian making $666.00 a year will very gladly make the sacriâ€" fice of $5.00 a month, even though it means hardship, proâ€" Â¥vided the Sir Henry‘s and the other knights drawing a clzaly's| pay every half hour will give an equal sacrifice. The Ad-i vance wili guarantee the premier that not a man in Canada will complain or question the sacrifice for Canada, if all make it fairly. The man making $666.00 a year will without murmur sacrifice all beyond $600.00 a year, if the millionaires makes the equal sacrifice, that is give up all he has beyond the amount of $600.00 a year. Of course, such a course is impractical for the moment, and so in fairness there should be no suggestion of sacrifice by the poorlyâ€"paid as contrasted with the wellâ€"toâ€"do. What is a sacrifice for a man making $1,500.00 a year is no hardship for the fellow with an income of ten thousand or more. In Britain Hon. Mr. Baldwin and seores of others during the war and since pointed the way to sacrifice and loyvalty for the ordinary man. In Canada there is no tendency along this line. The rich men, through greed and poor judgment, are really responsible for the present conditions. The remedy does not seem to lie in wage cuts or economy, but quite the contrary. The govâ€" ernment should look for sacrifice but they should first deâ€" mand it from the men who have profited so greatly in reâ€" gent years from privileges and concessions relating to the resources of this country. This may not be a popular policy with the high finance folks but it would please the people in general, and it would be fair and reasonable. i THE IMMIGRATION PROBLEM Ebe Yorrupine Advance TIMMIN®, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"PHONESâ€"â€"â€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 ' Published Every Thursday by: GEO.

But if the plan is humanly possible The Advance is in favour of it. It wouid be great boon to the world, even if it didn‘t stop the war. The Advance would like to nominate a number for that funny peace army. Henry Ford should be there, with or without his peace ship. Mr PFord has a personal grievance against war. War is a hideous thing. Every man killed in war means one man less to be killed by automoâ€" biles. Mr. Ford should be stationed close to the Chinese. They are the poorer shots, and so Mr. Ford would likely have a longer period of dodging. It would be pleansant to watch him duck and skip the fiying projectiles.. He has certainly been responsible for a lot of other men having to do just that. Then George Bernard Shaw should be there. It he wouldn‘t disgust the soldiers, nothing would. And Rudy Vallee and a certain Toronto newspaper should be included, as well as all crooners and all communists (these both being the same kind of animals only the stripes run different ways). Also please include all radio announcers, except the gentleman at Station BUNK; Beauharnois Seneâ€" tors, Hon. Mr. King, peddlers, the Algoma wolf and its father, and all other people and newspapers who are too tolerant. If all these joined the peace army, the nations of the earth would be blessed for the duration of the war. Of course, there would be many desirable ones who would not join even a peace army. They would want to stay home and make munitionsâ€"at a profit. In this case the muniâ€" uonswouldbethmgstob\zhat-â€"justasinthelast war. Who knows but Bully Beef yarn by Sir Joseph or a railâ€" road joke by Sir Henry might win the war for China or for Japan, whichever had the most money at the time. Just how the peace army would be able to reach the trenches would appear to be a problem. But why bring that up? When Ford couldn‘t make the grade, why expect Middlesex regiment to get there? Indeced, the new pacifist scheme seems altogether too good to be true. But if the nlan is humanly possible The Advance is in favour of it. i â€"Those gentle folks, the pacifists, have a new kink in the lcranium. Having tried for years to sob the world full of peace, and not being satisfied with the peace prevailing in China after all their tears, the pacifists seriously propose a |new plan, namely,; having a good laugh over war and thus | laughing it off the face of the earth. Associated Press desâ€" patches from London, England, solemnly assert that the pacifist plan to stop the war in Shanghai by having civilians walk between the Japanese and Chinese lines and remain there until the warring forces disband is gaining converts in Britain. The scheme was first proposed by two parsons and another lady. They sent their offer to the League of Nations, explaining that the idea was to mobilize a peace ‘army from every country represented at Geneva.. This army would proceed to Shanghai and march up and down so that the combatants would not ‘be able to shoot each other without first shooting the members of the peace army. One cf the disciples of this amusing plan says:â€"*"We would disobey the command to stop, and would walk into the ranks of the soldiers inviting them to shoot or to kill us." The gentleman does not say how often. *"*The qauesâ€". The pacifists have tried lots of other foolish things to step war. For years they have been trying to talk war to death. Recently the plan seemed to be to try to shake it to nieces with shudders and drown it in tears. They have attempted to frighten it to death with statistics and econoâ€" mics. To confirmed pacifist the idea of killing war by telling funny stories may not seem â€"absurd. Maybe it‘s everybody else that‘s crazy. However, if war is to be stopped by teiling funny stories in the front line trenches, there are going to be a lot of bad cases of shell shock, anyway. the ranks of the solaiers inviting Them to shoot or T0 Kili us." The gentleman does not say how often. *"‘The quesâ€" ‘tion is, would they kill us?" naively concludes this pacifist. There does not seem to be any question about that. Another proponent of this remarkable scheme says:â€" "The whole thing seems mad, I know." It does, my dear! Still this pacifist feels there is no other way to stop war. He may be right at that. The theory of the latest pacifist plan is based on the idea that the only way to stop two men who are engaged in a fierce argument is to make them laugh, to make fighting seem ridiculous. One lady whose name is Maud, puts it this way:â€""If thousands of pacifists beseiged the war area in China, the effect would be ludicrous." It would for a fact! The only trouble seems to be that the soldiers would shoot first and laugh afterwards. Seeing the smiles on the faces of the pacifists the soldiers might laugh in sympathy, but the medical officers wouldn‘t. They know those smiles are only due to muscular contractions. put fires burning." There is time enough before setting up any big "melting pot." Canada can do the greatest service to the world at large, not by opening her gfitcs in any direction at the present moment, but by making the home grounds so comfortable and desirable that prosperity and security and peace will be the greatest of all immigration officials. ould do the countr Xist C t t PA P P P NP P P P P l P P l PP lt ePA lt t l e uPP ePA PPA P ,,.‘ O a diffi evelopment of farming :« with farm produce price ast the steamship and ra _ countcry | thousands zh the int: n a lowe id C Mr. Gord 11 The inada wWill nol run aws The present problem i V moving 11 point 1ll s newspapet is right when he slowed up immigration nt.

One Mounted Policeman was deliberately murdered by this criminal and two others wounded before s.ern enough measures were taken to deal with this menace to order and safety. Why sympathy should be wasted on miscreants of the type of the pervert in question passes unâ€" derstanding. Why people should appoint men to enforce the will of the people for the common good and then scorn them for caoing their duty is another deeper mystery. Democracy of a kind seems to breed a group of men who seem to believe that no one has any right to protection but the lawbreaker and the unsocial. ‘Tis a mad world, indeed, as the poet said. The League of Nations need not give up all hopes yet of having a world war.

When the exâ€" penses for the trip of the councillor is considered and other costs added, the goods no doubt cost more than they would have done had they been purchased from Sturgeon Falls merchants. In any event the merchants who are expected to bear a good share of the,. cost of the supplies were not even asked to tender on the goods required. It is generally understood that the people of Sturgeon Falls are in bad financial condition. Some of the business men can not pay their taxes. The condition is gencerally considered as due to the unemployment caused by the closing down of the chief industry of Sturgeon Falls, but the story of the purchases made in Montreal suggest other reason why all is not well at Sturgeon Falls It would take a very prosperous town | in a very prosperous time to survive a council of that kind.‘ The town council of Sturgeon Falls, Ontario recently had ‘ radio people dulge in tha ecured ople who hear news over the radio that does not appear he newspapers should remember that the only source ews possessed by the radio broadcast stations is the spaper.
