Opportunities For Britain In Canada Great Jiritain has a-problem aud.Canada has a problem, ono being Uie exact opposite of Lhe oilier, tn the.British isles there is a surplus population for r\viiieh employment cannot be found, lu Canada thero are enormous resources and vast areas of fertile lands .which call for increased population ���hi order tliat development may 'take place. The Old 'Land liar* loo many people; this New Laud lias too few. Looking at the face of things it would seem to bo :i comparatively simple ���matter for llie British and Canadian Governments to evolve policies under which tlie surplus population of Great Britain could he transferred to' the ���open spaces of Canada, thus solving the problems of both countries. Burthe solution is noi so easy, iu fact, it is most complex and diflicult. . The class of settlors which Canada, wants is the agricultural type, men ,and women who will go o'u the land,. True, they may not have had actual farming-experience to be welcomed and, to succeed, but thoy must be of that class which is likely to mako good ou the land. Groat Britain, however, has no large surplus of this type; if, indeed, any surplus at all. The Uritish .surplus population is found among the - .workingmen", artizan-aud-.labor class, men and women who, because they ' cannot obtain steady employment, arc obliged to', accept the Government dole. Opportunities for thc.employment of any large number of these peoplo iri Canadian industry are small, and it would be most unfair to them'to encourage their immigration-to'Canada whore their .presence would havo an injurious cflect on Canadian workmen and labor aiul lead ��� tb tho creation of a Canadian situation not alike the present one in'Great 'Britain. Tho efforts of both thc British and Canadian-Governments are. therefore, confined io thc training of a limited number of immigrants for agricultural pursuits and the proper placing of them, on farms in Canada. Welcome as these efforts are, their effect on thc respective British and Canadian problems of surplus "and insufficient population' is almost negligible. ; There/would seam to bo a'greater hope of making un effective contribution towards the solution of this joint problem in the adoption of tho idea which has been urged of late, namely, tliat tlie great captains in British ���industry-"establish branch plants In Canada in order to enable them to* successfully compote in the growing Canadian ���market with thoir .United* Slates rivals and tliat they staff these branchjilants with thoir own workmen from the British Isles. Tho general adoption of such n policy would result in .profitable investment o'f British capital, would lead to a marked .development 'of the natural. ��� resources* of this Dominion, would help to adjust the balance of trade as between Canada and -the United States, would add to the population of the .'...Dominion* profitably, employed, would ease lho unemployment situation in* the Old Land, and would increase tho productive capacity, tho prosperity and ���wealth of .'the .

Up to the timo Williams' Effect Will Be Far-Reacliing Saskatchewan -Farmers Will Benefit Greatly By Ruling Of Railway Commissioners By thu ruling of the Board of Hallway Commissioners on the equalization ol grain rates, Saskatchewan will gain nearly $2,000,000 annually, starting this year. The figure is authentic and was proven at the hearing at the freight rates probe held this spring. Saskatchewan's counsel, "\Y. II. McKwen, K.C., quoted it lo support his argument for lower rates in the West.' Figures in opposition to Mr. Mc- Ewcn's- submissions to the Board were filed by counsel for-the railways. From those figures Alex. McDonald. Saskatchewan's freight rate expert, showed that Saskatchewan's contention was correct and a two million dollar saving annually to this piovinre alone would ' accrue in a normal year. It was only after long and arduous argument and appeal that tho "West was able.to score the victory recorded. It will bo recalled that when thc present year opened, counsel for Alberta and Saskatchewan, who pleaded jointly, wore fighting hard to get judgment on their case handed' down separately in order to havo tho new rates apply on-the 1927 crop. An appeal to have the grain submissions heard apart from the gen- oral rates investigation was abortive when carried as far as tho Govornor- General-iu-Gouncil. Counsel returned West only hoping that an early ruling would bo handed down to make a saving on lhe 1927 crop v The Generous Public Patrons Of Benefit Concert Qualified To Receive Proceeds It had been a cold and stormy winter, aud there had been a long strike in the maiu industry of the little village.
