D.\nPattullo, minister of lands, speaking in the Legislature, announced\nthat the Government was abont ,to\ninaugerate a comprehensvie colonization policy, looking to the settlement of selected settlers oh the\nvacant lands of British Columbia,\nparticularly those in the valleys\nalong the Grand Trunk Pacific\nRailway and in the irrigation districts. The minister, who returned\nrecently from Great Britain and\nother European countries, said\nthere was a marked increase in the\ninterest being taken in Western\nCanada and he hoped to take advantage of the situation to secure a\nnumber of the better class citizens.\n-The government controls some\n2,000,000 acres of the finest land\nalong the Canadian National lines,\nlands which reverted to the crown\nunder tbe proportionate allotment\nlegislation of 1916. Some of these\nlands have been reserved for sale\nuntil such time as the government\nsaw its way clear to commence\ncolonization work in earnest. Several hundred thousand 7 acres are in\nthe Stuart Lake district, lands\nlightly timbered in places and eminently suited for agricultural purposes. It is expected that some\nform of progressive loan system\nwill be worked out to assist the\nnewcomers. -The settlers to be\nselected will come mostly from\nGreat Britain and each will be expected to bave sufficient capital to\nmake first payments on the land\nand secure sufficient, equipment to\nmake a good start.\nCity Council\nWhen a certain young lady\nread the headline in a daily paper\nlast week,- \"Fifteen_miilion\"girls\nin Europe looking for husbands,\"\nexclaimed \"Goodness, 1 hope\nthey don't extend their search\nhere, there is too much opposition already.\"\nA despatch to the Nelson News\nfrom Rock Creek says: \"Arrangements are being made for\nseveral cars to take parties to the\nAnnual G.

KI-NGi\nxmsm TUP] i\/tfDfift. o PT^-vwnrm \"R\n27 Years tho\nSame Good\nTea--arid\nAlways in the\nSealed\nPackage\nS7\nCanada Needs Population\nAlthough the results of the census of Canada taken .iu June last have not\nyet been officially announced, sufficient information is available to establish\nthe fact that ihe figures of population a.re going to prove highly disappointing\nto those people who, basing their calculations on tlie yearly return of immigrants entering the Dominion, had expectations of seeing a very substantial\nincrease in the number of people in Canada.\nKadi recurring decennial census in Canada brings the same disappointment. Between one census and the next, hundreds oi thousands\" ygs, millions of immigrants are reported as having entered tlie Dominion. The vital\nstatistics likewise report ihe fact that the number of births exceed deaths\nby many more hundreds of thousands. Yet when the census is taken the\npeople which are supposed to he here, and presumably ought to be here, are\nnot in evidence. They came here but ihey have disappeared. The question\nwhich demands an answer is: Where have they gone, and why.?\nThe Canadian Council of Agriculture, which has been giving some study\nto this problem, in a .statement recently made public, points out, that, according to the returns of the Department of Immigration, no less than. l,Si^,S3G\nimmigrants came to this couutry between April 1, 1011, and .March SI, 1021.\nwhich corresponds with the census period; also that during this same period\nbirths in Canada, exceeded deaths by 1,1-10,000. Jn other words, that from\nthese two sources there should bc an increase in Canada's population of\ni'.952,S3G, which would bring the 19.11 census of population of 7,20(5,613 up to\n10,159,171) in 1921. As a matter of fact it is now confidently predicted that\nthe census of 1921 will not show nine million people, and possibly not. many\nmore than S,500,000..\nOn all sides the statement is heard that Canada needs'a larger population:\nthat the future of its railways, the ability to carry and ultimately pay. off\nthe huge national debt, depends upon the development of it's natural resources, and that such development' can only be brought about by a largo\ninflux of people to do the necessary work. The need for a strong, aggressive\nimmigration policy is, therefore, urged. True, there are a few voices raised\nin opposition to such a policy, but they are in a minority. o .,\nThe writer of this column agrees that such an immigration policy is\nnecessary, ami that Canada's efforts to secure settlers of the right, type should\nnot be spasmodic, but permanent, well organized and continuous. But iu\nthe light of past immigration returns, reports of vital statistics, and census\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdtakings, it is apparent that something more than getting people to come io\nCanada is needed. The adoption of policies that uwill- keep them here seems\nto be required above everything else[\nIf Canada cannot retain its native-born sens and daughters it is idle to\nexpect new people to come and stay here. Clearly there is something wrong\nsomewhere. If our native-born had remained at home, and if we had retained thc large percentage of incoming immigrants during thc past Quarter of a,\ncentury, Canada's population today would be double what it is, and, like\ncompound interest, the future increase would be rapid.\nParty politics can find no place for discussion in this column. There\nare plenty of forums for the discussion of such politics, but this is not one of\nthem. But policies in the broad meaning of the terra\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthat is, the science\nand business of government as distinct from party organization, shibboloths\nand particular policies\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdhave a proper place here. In fact, no good citizen\nor true patriot can properly neglect them.\nIt is our conviction, then, that while Canada does need the most wideawake, progressive and.aggressive immigration policy ihat can possibly be.de-.\nvised, and that full advantage should.now'be taken of tlie opportunity which\npresents itself throughout\" the',\"world owing to the desire of millions of people-\nto emigrate from ihe old world, countries, the first .step, in..the framing of\nCanada's immigration policy should be a determination.of the'causes of the\ndrift of people'away' from Canada, native-born and immigrants. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd ;\n7 There.is a cause for .it, or-a \"combination of causes. - The;eause-should-\nbc ascertainable, and once ascertained it ought to, bo. possible to -apply .-a'\n.remedy arid remove .tho cause. \"Every manufacturer;, financier, -railway-\noperator, .merchant, professional man,*.artizan and'farmer is interested, and\nvitally interested-in-this-problem.

The great contributing\ncause of indigestion is thin blood.\nGood blood and plenty of it is required by the stomach to take care of the\nfood. ' If the blood is thin the stomach functions sluggish, food lies undigested, gas forms and causes pains in\nvarious parts of the body. Instead\nof getting nourishment from the blood\nthe system gets poison.\nRelief from this condition can be obtained by the tonic treatment which\nMr. D. Shaw, Mt. Stewart, P.E.I., tried\nand now warmly recommends '.toothers. ' Mr. Shaw says: \"I suffered\nfrom indigestion for over four years,\nand have tried many of the well-\nknown remedies for such troubles, b.y.t\nnever obtained more-than temporary\nrelief. The trouble Avas aggravated\nby constipation setting in owing to\nthe stomach failing to do its work,,\nand laxatives only gave relief J;o the\nbowels and left the stomach in worse\ncondition. The result was my blood\nwas-growing more and more anaemic,\nI did not sleep well at night and was\ngrowing despondent.

Until then\nthey got on as well as they could\nwith signs, and in London strets, like\nCheapside, every shopkeeper tried to\nundo his rivals in the size and grandeur of his signboard. They projected over the street, and every now\nand then fell down and killed somebody. They creaked and groaned\nterribly whenever the wind blew, and\nit shows what a nuisance they were\nthat, within a year of house-numbers\nbeing introduced- signboards which\nprojected from the walls were prohibited. - The first London street to\nbe numbered in March,\" 1764, was\nNew Burlington Street, and the next\nLincoln's Inn Fields.\nA Mistaken Meaning.\nBorrowly.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdYou were very kind to\nloan me that five dollar note.

For some\nweeks past there has been a persistently recurring rumor that the\nGuggenheims had become interested in some properties in the neighborhood, and that they would prospect some of these as soon as\ndiamond drills could be brought in\nfrom the outside.

That is the question and that is\nthe whole question. And the great, big, necessary thing is that eyery voter\nin this country from the Yukon to Halifax knows that this is the question\nhe or she is deciding when he or she votes in this great contest.\"\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdARTHUR MEIGHEN\nTHE vital issue in the coming election\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nin fact, the only issue\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdis the Tariff,\nand to every clear thinking Canadian\nit should be readily apparent that a Protective Fiscal Policy is absolutely essential\nto stability, progress and development.\nEvery important country iri the world\nupholds Protection as an essential economic principle. Even Great Britain\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdso\nlong the stronghold of Free Trade\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdhas\nnow adopted laws that constitute Protection of the most effective kind. In fact,\nthe present policy among most nations is\ntowards raising their tariff walls, not lowering them. In the face of these facts it\nwould be suicidal for Canada to do exactly\nthe reverse and discard the fiscal system\nwhich has been responsible for its progress\nduring the past forty-three years.\nFree Trade would mean death to Canadian Industry. It would also result in\nthe immediate closing down of Canadian\nplants of foreign firms, with consequent\nadditional unemployment. There are to-day\n650 American factories alone in Canada.\n\" Similar proposed ventures would be abandoned. New capital would refuse to come\nto a Country lacking adequate protection\nand present industrial enterprise would be\npromptly strangled by foreign competition.\nThe preservation of the home market by a\nReasonable Protective Tariff ia vital to\nboth city dweller and agrarian alike\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdnow\nas never before. More capital is urgently\nneeded for the development of Canada's\nenormous resources, which will result in\na lessening of unemployment and an increased population. More work and more\nworkers will produce an enlarged home\nmarket for products of both city and farm,\nand the exodus of Canadian men and\nwomen\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand the dollars they earn\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwill\nbe precluded.\nThe United States has slammed her trade\ndoor in the face of Canadian farmers by\nadopting the Fordney Bill, and the farmer\nis consequently now even more dependent\nupon the home market than in the past.\nYet Crerar asks you to destroy that home\nmarket by voting for Free Trade.\nKing's policy\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdif he has one\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwill result\nin the destruction of the Tariff.\nMeighen stands four square for Reasonable Protection\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdProtection for all\nthe people\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand asks, for an overwhelming mandate to give both industry\nand agriculture that assurance which will spell prosperity for all.
