D Ontario, Hon. Leslic E. Blackwell, announced that he had asked Jusâ€" tice Minister St. Laurent to introâ€" duce an amendment to the criminal code which would bring it in line with the criminal code 4n England, "so that in a case like the Tobias case the trial judge would not have to charge the jury with respect to manslaughter." _‘ The remedy, he added, was ini the hands of Parliament. ‘ Four Toronto youths were conâ€" viected of manslaughter in the slayâ€" ing of Meyer Tobias, 53â€"yearâ€"old ‘Toronto merchant, last December 26. Two of the youths were senâ€" tenced to 20 years imprisonment, and the others to 15 years, Mr. Blackwell said his department had asked the Ontario court â€"of appeal to impose the maximum sentenceâ€" life imprisonment â€" upon all the accused. _ _ __ e "In England where a death 0Câ€"| curs, even by the accidental disâ€"| charge of a firearm in the hands of | the accused. when perpetrating a crime of violence the offence isl murder.

"This state of the law leaves it open to the jury to find a verdict of manslaughter in all similar cases and if the trial judge does not charge the jury in the above terms and leaves it to them to find a verâ€" dict of manslaughter the result is on Bs ore 2cu 900 P.O.W.

Editor Your editorial of April 26th, on immigration, leaves me a little unâ€" convinced, and, since this looks like being a matter of the greatest imâ€" portance to the country, I am going to tell you why I disagree with you. The reasons which I see for an active policy of immigration are two: As Mr. Gardiner said publicly in Toronto, not long ago, this is probably our last chance for peaceâ€" ful immigration. The world is full of people, no less than two thousand million in number, and even the war did not check the growth of population for it is generally acâ€" cepted now that there are one hunâ€" dred million more people in the \wrrld today than there were in 1939, and thirtyâ€"five million more in India alone. e Pn e e U from left to right, kneeling, J. 8.

The world average of fertile land is 1.16 acres per person. _ 2 . ERCORRIESIE As a friend of mine said not long ago, with all the people in the world mostly starving, we cannot expect the whole of Canada to be left with twelve million people. The _ Australian _ Government knows this clearly, and is encourâ€" aging immigration, for otherwise they do not see how Australia can be protected against in\'asionAJ w 1 â€" F eS on e 12 m SE oo esd We in Canada are protected by| our close allies, the British and Americans, but surely it is part of | our duty to our allies to see thatl this country does not present a continuing _ invitation, â€" and â€" has| enough people in it for our own ; defence. o2 | on farms, carry on fishing, lumberâ€" ing or mining, and bringing them | to the towns and cities, to be trainâ€" ed in urban life, and to All lighter |urban jobs. At least oneâ€"third of ‘the working population of the .l‘arms left the farms during the war, and only a few are going back, with the result that we now have an aging and dying population of | farmers. at a time when the world |is crying for food. Y You know what the situation is | in connection with other heavy work. For example, not long ago in a Montreal suburb the building of \a group of houses was suspended |indefinitely. _ Carpenters could be â€" tobmined and other skilled workers, ‘|but there was no one to dig the The other major reason which I have for immigration was stated by some McGill cconomists in the press. It is that, during the war, and for some years after the war, we have been upgrading our people in the cconomic sense. We have been taking men W.]"l(a psed' to live Letters To The Editor Therefore, the only alternative is to bring in industrious wnrkers| from abroad, willing to take the | harder jobs. _ _ ‘ uic tie 9 Autclcd Actually, there is very good reaâ€" son for believing that a large inflow | of â€" immigration â€" today would do ; more to prevent unemploy ment in | the cities than to create it, proâ€" vided the immigrants are selected as being willing and able to go to work on the land, flshing.’;mning‘ and in the bush. ‘ \ I agree with you that w'! the immigration â€" talk _ comi Agniculture, Ottawa; J.

I find even labor leaders now realizing that there will have to be a lot of workers brought into Canâ€" ada very soon, or a downgrading, in the economic sense, of the presâ€" ‘ent inhabitants of Canadian cities. We have railways and factories capable of serving a much larger population than now exists in Canâ€" ada. That is a very simple fact. After all, to take such a case as that of wheat, you will realize that there is something rather foolish about our lending billions of dolâ€" lars to other countries to enable them to buy 4% bushels of Canaâ€" dian wheat per annum to keep men alive in those countries, when, by moving one of these men to Canâ€" ada, he will be able to eat his 4% bushels of wheat here, while reâ€" turning services to the rest of us to pay for it, in place of our having to lend or give money to keep that man alive on Canadian wheat in another country. _ All in all, I have come to be a firm believer in an active immigraâ€" tion policy and I think that you willdseo that my reasons are pretty good. | _ The appeal will be made on the following grounds: . . _ ;.v.(‘z:)""l"ilaato_tflgfigéhtences imposed, | "are, having regard to all cireumâ€" 1 stances of the case, wholly inadeâ€" Lite Sentence Asked | For Tobias Murderers TORONTO.â€"Terms of life imâ€" prisonment were called for by the Attorney â€" General‘s Department late yesterday and a move W&As made to appeal to a higher court pgainst what is termed a "wholly inadcquate sentence imposed by Mr. Justice Keillee McKay last ‘wcck, on the four men involved in the gunshot slaying of Meyer Toâ€" bias, Mt.

Warn Russia To Quit Stalling WASHINGTON,. â€" Russia given its choice by Secretary State Byrnes: o Stop blocking a European peace conference this summer, else the United States will walk out of the treaty talks and carry the whole matter before the United Nations.
