Editorial
Worthy citizens
April 20, 1950
Immigrants, who have come to Canada from The
Netherlands since the close -of World War II, generally
speaking, have proved themselves fine farmers and worthy
citizens of this country., We do not need to go outside Huron
Conmy to know that.
For this reason, we are pleased and happy that Western
Ontario has received a substantial percentage of the latest
group to arrive in Canada. Of the 1,300 Dutch immigrants
who landed at Halifax last weekend, about 370 proceeded to
Western Ontario points. Further movements of Dutch im-
migrants may be witnessed later in the season.
In connection with the arrival of the Dutch "contingent," it
may be recalled that Prince Bernardt of The Netherlands
stated at a press conference in Ottawa recently that Canada
could obtain 10,000 Dutch farmers a year, if so desired.
The prince, on a flying visit, said The Netherlands did not
want to lose its stalwart sons, but for the sake of the nation's
own economy, it could stand to "export" 10,000 fanners each
year.
The Department cif Immigration doubtless will encourage
the flow of newco*ers to Canada from that source, and in
this policy, will be backed strongly by the rural people of
Canada.
