one reason why we think her popula-

fact is often taken as one of 'the evi
deuces that protection is designed to
increase the population, and thus
create a home alimiket... We believe
that the,protective,system had nothing

in P9pulation and vdnder another sys-

we notice that her foreign population
is 'largely drawn from Seandanaidan

noticed high protection prevails, and
we believe that the one great reason
why the tide ofimmigration turned to

their great desire to escape from, the
monarchial forms of government that
oppressed them in their native land (of
