increase ottawa a prominent united states official stated recently that the flow of canadian migration to tho llnited states has turned figures available here are of a nature to support that statement the exodus of canadians to the united states for the eight months of the present year has been material ly lower that last yer on the other band the movement front the united states to canada has been somewhat higher the influx of returning can adians this year it must be said is not quite so great as last year but the decline is not significant migration from canada to the un ited states to the first eight months of the present calendar year totalled 42- 525 according to figures published by the united states government ex tending theso figures for the 12 months would yield a migration of 63784 as against a total of 73605 returned for tho 12 months f 1928 as a matter of fact migration is not so active in the autumn so that the estimate given for the present year is probably high during the 12 months of 1928 29- 933 americans came into canada ac cording to canadian immigration fi gures in tho first nine months of the present year 26396 entered this coun try from the united states extend ing these figures for the 12 months would produce a result of 35194 again these figures are probably high but it is clear that there has been an increase in the movement of amer icans to canada the number of canadians who re turned to canada from the united states in the first nine months of the present year was 22122 in the same period of last year it was 27017 tiro reduction hero is
