THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1928 BISHOP LLOYD ON NATION BUILDING The Melting Pot:The Third of a Series of Articles Pleading for the Develoviment of Canada as a Homogeneous British State. For Previous Articles See The Oshe awa Daily Times of August 23 and 28 Last [An open contribution to the ncwspapers of Canada by Rt. Rev. George Exton Lloyd, Lord Bishop of Saskatchewan.) Among the many fallacies one meets in discussions on - Nation building by immigration none is more misleading than the "melting-pot." The exponents of this theory would open the doors of the nation as wide as possible. They say, let all these Continentals come, Canada will soon make good Canadians of them. We Are All British It is to be noticed that those who hold this view always seem to have in the back of their minds a distinc- tion between Canadian and British, Of course a distinction can properly be made between a Canadian and a Scotchman qr an Englishman. But there can be no distinction between "Canadian" and "British" until Pre- mier King is prepared to repudiate his adherence to the constitution of Empire as agreed to at the last Im- perial Conference. That evidently he is not prepared to do. Therefore you cannot have a good Canadian who is not at the same time a loyal son of the Empire. and therefore a "Brit- isher." When the Federal members for Yorkton, North Battleford and Sask- atoon, at the Ottawa Immigration Investigation Committee, were In such a hurry to get Hansard to re- port their good opinion of the Con- tinentals in their cnstituencies they carefully avoided saying these peo- ple made good Britishers. They said (in opposition to Canon Burd) they made good Canadians. They really meant these people gréw good pota- toes and always voted 'en bloc on their side of politics.

Now they are eager- ly trying to repair the % Already the new July Ist "Quota" is in force. Under that law great pre- ference is beipg given to blood of British origin, in the hope that in another hundred years they will have repaired some of the results of their national folly in the worship of the "melting pot." Mr. Lewis, a prominent Chicago lawyer, has made a life-long study of immigration, and shows very convin- cingly in his book published by Harp- er, of New York, why it is impera- tive (in the United States) that the predominance of its foundation stock should be maintained. In the chap- ters on the "Melting Pot of Races" he points out that tlre advocates of frec admission of all nations believe that in some magical way all these different stocks soon become one in blood, ideals and institutions. Where Choate Failed Even Mr. Joseph Choate, writing to an English friend in 1899 said: "The result of our mixture of ime i.oiation will be the creation of a new man, for he will combine all the points of the Englishman, the Irish- man and all the other nations, into a perfect blend." But in 1915 Mr, Choate had changed his whole idyl- lic American belief in the beauties and wonderful results of the "Melt- ing Pot," and he wrote from bitter experience to an English friend, "We have many millions of men of for« eign descent, one-half of them on the one side and one-half on the other." And that, when America needed above all else, to speak with one voice in answer to the world chal- lenge of the Emperor William, 1 .ateen years ago the "melting-pot ideal" was the faith of the vast ma- jority in the United States. But what a striking change of opinion has taken place as a result of the les. sons taught them by the War. As a Luacier of tact actual mixture of races in the States has gone very little farther than the intermarriage be- tween the races from northern Eur- ope. The intermarriage between Englishman and Galician, Norwegian and Serb, Scotchman and Greek, Am- erican and Spaniard, has been almost one of theory and not of fact. As Mr. Lewis says: "It is not so OUR SPECIALTY If your Watch is not giving satisfaction we can repair and make it tell the correct time D. J.

It is not meces- sary for us to prove that the un- precedent mixture of races going on mn the States has been detrimental. 1t is for the advocates of the "open door-melting pot theory" to prove that the mixture of these thousands of different Continental races will produce a finer type and nation than the original British, ie. American stock has done in the past. And this they cannot do. In the first place there is no nation in the world which offers any comparison. 1Time and time again we are referred to Eng- land as an example of the benefits of the melting-pot. But the racial elements that went to make up found- ation England were remarkable homogencous. Angles, Saxons, Jute, Danes and Normans were all closely allied to each other and to the ok English stock. There has been noth- ing in England's experience to give us any light on our own case (in America.) ), Perversion The Professor of Biology in Le- land Stanfard University says: "The crossing of races on different levels is inadvisable." The inheritance of a superior race is a very precious pos- session to be conserved at all costs. "In the light of our ignorance about race crossing the wisest course is to go slow and play safe." Lewis adds "There is nothing to cause us to be- lieve that the super-man comes from the mixture of distinct types. It may rather result in such a population as that of Sicily and south Italy, where Italians, Greeks, Saracen, Normans, Spaniards and Phoenicians have mixed with results so conglomerate and unhappy that they have cursed those regions and their people to- y. Now if there was all this uncer- tainty regarding the effect of the mixture of blood, what about the stability of institutions, customs, poli= tics, laws and traditions when sub. jected to the "Melting-Pot 2" When the American advocated "open door" immigration and the melting-pot idea, he had no concep- tion that the institutions of his coun- try, its laws, its political habits and traditions were to be modified by the melting-pot. It was the immigrant who was to go into the melting-pot, not the American, He believed that in some way the native blood of the American was to remain unchanged. Immigrant who was to be melted down, Until recently the great +... us ne American people held this view and it was advocated and lauded in all public utterances. But a tremendous change has come over the mind of the thinking Am- erican public. No one claims that the German or the Swede is less moral, or that the Greek and the Italian are Hot hard-working. The essence _ of the objection to the "open door" is that they are different in lahguage, psychology, customs, and in many other ways.

Wilson Makes Plea at Sherbrooke Exhibiti Dinner : PROGRESSIVE STEP Says Aviation Now Recog- nized Means of Trans. portation Sherbrooke, Que, Sept. 1--J. A. Wilson, Director of Civil Awiation, made a plea to cities in Canada to secure and develop airports in order that they maybe ready to take their place in the rapidly growing flying movement taking place in the country today, when speaking to the directors, officers and' guests of the Eastern Townships of Agricultural Associa- tions at the Sherbroooke Exhibition Wednesday, While too little was known by the public about aviation, said. Mr. Wilson, Canada had noth- ing to be ashamed of in her stand- ing in civil aviation. He traced the great work done since the war by the government air service in ex- ploration, forest protection, surveying, openi up of mining territories, mail cArrymg and spraying of crops. Aviation has now reached a point where it must be considered a re- cognized means of transportation and Canada could not remain stationary. Recognizing this fact, the government had undertaken to inaugurate regu- lar mail routes throughout the Do- minion, and the cities of the coun- try, which had not yet their own fly- ing club, must take action if they were to keep up to other places, and purchase fields in order to bring planes and keep themselves on the air map. Another guest of the association at luncheon was Dean Barton, head of the Agricultural School at Macdou- ald College, who gave great praise to the Sherbrooke exhibition, but warned that it must not stand still, but must ever move forward in the interests of agriculture, Mayor J. S. Tetrault and members of the city council were also guests, Thursday's luncheon was for busi- ness men and transportation officials from Montreal and elsewhere, Good Attendance Wednesday drew a great crowd to the forty-fourth annual fair, Tuyes- day there were nearly 19,000 people on the grounds, but this number was far exceeded Wednesday, A full pro- gram of events was presented, On the grand stand there were afternoon and evening vaudeville attractions with horse and cattle parades at the former and band concerts at the lat- ter. The two day dog show in con- nection with the fair also opened and has many fine entries, Racing con- tinued while Thursday it consisted not only 'of harness races, but of jockey races as well, ; Features Thursday was a visit to Sherbrooke and the exhibition by two airplanes. One piloted by Cap- tain Nase, instructor of the Granby ero Club with F. W. McCrea, of this city, a member of the Granby Club as pilot, flew here and did stunts over the grounds without land- ing. The other piloted by Captain Sparks, instructor of the Montreal Light Aeroplane Club arrived durisg Thursday afternoon and landed near the fair, despite the fact that the field has not yet been put into shape as a landing spot. BOND HOLDERS IN FRANCE ARE HIT Stabilization Causes 80 Per Cent, Drop in Value of Security Paris, Sept. 1.--French citizens who invested pre-war savings in French national bonds are wearing sour ex- pressions despite the so-called popu- 1®& enthusiasm over Premier Ray- mond Poincare's success in stabilizing the franc, Such an attitude on the part of the public, weeks after the stabiliza- tion plan was put into effect, and despite the fact that today the Bank of France has an immense quantity of gold in its coffers, is the result of the workings of international fi- nance. And it must be admitted that the pre-war investor has just grounds for his attitude.

Strangers Weleome, the basket of national confidence and found many of the shells cracked when financiers decided to give the European monetary systems a final shaking. French bond holders are beginning to realize there is no remedy for the situation and as long as food and clothing prices do not increase, all will be well, Meanwhile, if M. Louch- eur's housing plan brings its promised result in lower rents and better ac- commodation, the loss of 80 per cent. of their capital may eventually re- sult in smiles of satisfaction on the faces of the grumblers. 'The situation hinges, briefly, on the fact that the man--confident in his nation--who loaned France 100 francs , during the war, now has a capital reserve of only 20 francs, Situation Not Desperat Despite this, as a result of stabili- zation the financial situation of the so-called "rentier" or once moderate- ly rich classes is not desperate. Most of them do not realize this situation, and it will take months to make realize they have mot been abandoned by the men in whom they placed their confidence, Many believe that from a revenue of 5000 francs, they are hereafter, to receive only 1,000 francs. Such a conclusion is erroneous, for they will continue to receive the larger sum in paper money which will have the same purchasing value they have become accustomed to since the war. Its value, however, will be 80 per cent. less, The situation also is mitigated by the fact that the "little rentier" class has been greatly diminished. Befo:e the war the "little rentier" was able to live quietly in his suburban cot- tage with an income of 5000 or 6,000 francs. Later, the rise in prices open- ed a mew era which forced most of this. class to balance their accounts by employment, which they had abandoned 10 years before. Now, their income from the State is used as a reserve--a "something extra" for emergency purposes. This class is far larger than the adversaries of the new monetary re- form. In all, France expects to rea- lize considerable for her small bond holders within the next five years, MINERS FOR FARMERS (St. John Telegraph-Journal) There is no reason to fear that in- telligent miners, after some trainin and some experience under the actua conditions existing in Canada, will fail to make good.
