Movement From England.
There also will be a considerable
movement this year front the British
Isles, from which in 1919 about 50,000
came to Canada. The Brlish govern -
anent is providing free transportation
for all war workers who wish to locate
• In the Overseas D'&minions, but their
coming is made conditional upon the
ability of the country to absorb them.
The position of the government in re-
spect to -immigration generalry is that
only two classes are "encouraged" to
come.
One is t17.3 agricultural class needed
in the des lopmeut elf the immense
4.- agriculture, resources of the country,
while- the' other are what is known,
- latterly, as "household workers." The
term' "domestic," which used to'bet ap.
plied, is now in the discard and what
was called "wages" is now "salary."
Within the last few weeks eight
• .parties of "women; varying in size
from twenty to eighty, have arrived
in the country and readily have been
absorbed into service,
The agricultural movement will not
begin before the spring. So far as
artisans are concerned there is a
gradual arrival of skilled experts, but
ordinary labor is not encouraged to
immigrate because the supply already
is more than adequate,
The general provisions which have
been made by the Canadian govern-
, meat for the land settlement of sol-
diers are available not only to Cana-
dians, but to any who served in any
branch of the Imperial armies, Care,
however, is being taken to see that
those who come with the intention -of
entering upon farming are qualified
for the work, and with that end in
view- a committee of selection has
been sent to Great Britain to pass up-
on all 'applications for soldier land
settlement in this country.
Ban on Former Foes,
. There is an absolute Ilan on all na-
tionals of Germany, Augtria-Hungary,
'Bulgaria and Turkey. The formal pro-
mulgation of peace has not operated
to remove the restriction which has
existed against such immigration dur-
i
Ing and ,since the wan', and it will be
ooattinaed for fill indefinite period,
This reatrtet1 h, however, does fiat in
elude ranee or nationalities technical-
ly subject to these countries or which
have declared their iedopeudenee of
them, Those whose,, independent'
States ilas boon, recognized, by the
peace Conference will bo. allowed to
come In 'wibout duesElon, so far as
their nationality is conoernod,
A now immigration act' was passed
last year Bud it prescribes very high
standards, calculated to make 'immi-
gration of the lathe particularly Se-
lect. Those who conte must have the
,capacity to' le -detain themselves for'
a coneiderable period and particular,
methods will be invoked to ,keep dat
any who are inclined -to share in the
radical or revohitionary views Si
social agitation.
Restrictions Not Rigid.
in the former -Ws little discriminae
tion was exercised, ,apart from Seeing
that the immigrants were in good phy-
sical condition. While the great pro-
portion of these who came, including
the immigrants front enemy countries,
have proved to be good citizens and
gave little or no trouble during the
war, considerable difficulty has been
experienced, particularly in the West-
ern cities, This was especially the
case last spring, when, following the
Western sympatheio strikes, the gov-
ernment took upon itself the authority
even to depbrt persons of British na-
tionality., According to the Canadian'•
Department of Immigration there is
every reason to expect a'large influx
to Canada. this year, but the immigra-
tion will be carefully inspected and
guarded by restrictions which in the
old clays would not have been tl},ought
of.
problems Financial p 1 ems of considerable
magnitude face Canada at the pre-
sent time, and, while the resourd s of
the country are enormous, the more
immediate situation calls for some
careful. calculations. The form of the
budget for the coming flscal year will
be considered shortly.
War Leaves Heavy Burden./
The war has left in its train a heavy
burden of fixed obligations which are
a first charge upon' the revenues of
the country. Something like $160,-
000,000 has to be provided by the way
of annual interest en 'tear obligations.
Apart from this are the expenditures
necessary for carrying on the public
works and public services of the coun-
try, to provide pensions for soldiers
and to meet the anticipated deficits
from the operations of the state owned
railways. The total will be consider-
ably'over $300,000,000.
In addition there is some $60,000,000,
to be expended on capital account,
while the revenue of the country will
be something in excess of $300,000,000,
the amount depending upon the char-
acter of tariff and tax proposals to be
submitted to Parliament. Last year
certain reductions were made in the
tariff and it was estimated that the
result of this would be a decline of
$17,000,000 in the revenue.
$325,000,000 Loan Interest
Owed to U.S. Government
,A despatch from Washington says:
-Accrued interest on loans to Euro-
pean countries totals approximately
$325,000,000, according to a table sub-
mitted to the House Ways and Means
Committee by the Treasury Depart-
ment, which plans to defer collection
for a few years pending reconstruc-
tion.
Great Britain owes the most inter-
est, the total on loans to that country
being $144,440,837. Interest owed by
other countries is:

A Treaty Signed in Bed
i
Much has been said about the dra-
matic contrast between the Germans
at Versailles in 1871 and the Germans
at Versailles in 1919, and in all his-
tory there has scarcely been a more
impressive. ,exempliIloation iof the old
saying that pride goeth before a fall,
Karl Wagner's we11.1arown painting of
Bismarck dictating terms to Tillers
and Fevre shows the man of blood
and iron, who felt so sure, forty-nine
years , ago, that France was irretriev-
ably crushed beneath the heel of its
hereditary foe. But,, as a matter of
fact, the Fiasco -Prussian War was
concluded at Frankfort, not at•Ver-
sailles, and it is interesting to note
that the Bismarck of the Wagner pic-
ture is a different man from the more'
human character who, at Frankfort,
on May 10, 1871, signed the treaty that
brought the conhiet to an end,
A curious diplomatic_ incident of
1871 throws a surprising -light on H,is-
marek's character. M. Pouyer-Quer-
tier; who represented the newly es-
tablished French republic, told the
story, and Bismarck himself after-
wards confirmed 1t in a col:orst:Mon
with Sir Charles Dike.
Negotiations had ahuoet been bro-
ken off because Germany ins!°sted that
its armies should continue to occupy
France. The French. envoys were in
despair, and Pouyer-Quertter, fearing
the worst, had gone to bed in hia.botel
room, Baud dawn. thele was a
knock at his door, and the Frenehman.
got up in his nightgown to find that
Bismarck had come in full uniform
to renew the discussion. Insisting•
that Pouyer-Quertler would catch cold
in his nightgown, • the - Chadcellor
forced him back to bed and relighted
the fireThen, dt'awing up a chair,
Ile spread the treaty out on a small
table and took -up the tangle of claims
and demands. •
After a prolonged talk, saying that It
was dry work, he stood up and rang
for beer. • After the beer had been
brought, he rang again, asked for
kirsch and poured a quantity of it in-
to the. beer. Taking the poker, he
made it red-hot in the fire, stirred the
mixture of beer and kirsch, and in-
vited the Frenehmau to drink, The
Frenchman did so, saying:
"I think of my poor country as' I
drink."
Bismarck, clapping him on the
shoulder, iinnounced that he was "a
good fellow," and that the evacuation
of France should take place at once,
There and then the final article of
the treaty of Frankfort, putting an end
to the Franco-Prussian War, was
signed on that small table at the bed-
side of Pouyer-Q oertier in a little
hotel in Frankfort.

Out of Politics
A despatch from Paris says: -For-
mer Premier Clemenceau left Mar-
seilles on February 3 on the steamer
Lotus, bound for Alexandria, Egypt.
He is reported to be absolutely sin-
cere in his decision to remain in re-
tirement; and under no consideration
to bo drawn again into the turmoil of
politics.
To an Editor of L'Homme Libre he
remarked ,the 'other day anent his de-
feat in the test vote of Parliament on
the Presidency:
"Some persons need a hint, others
a kick. I 'am' through. My enemies
,may think I reoelved a kick; my
friends only a hint, At any rate; I am
through. I am off to Egypt first, then
-well, we shall see, perhaps -India." ,
"I know not truly which is worse -
he that maligns all,.or he that praises
all." -Bon Jonson.

Flag of Zion Floats
From Palestine's Marine
A despatch from New York says: -
The first vessel of Palbstiue's con-
templated merchant marine hoisted
the blue and white flag of Zion and
was renamed "Hee-holutz" (The Pion-
eer), at Jaffa recently, the Zionist or-
ganization of America has announced.
The vessel is owned and manned by
Jews, and is the first of a fleet for
which Zionists plan an ultimate ape
propriation of $10,000,000.
The vessel,was formerly a German
craft and was purchased to ply along
the Palestine coast, making the ports
of Bierut, Tyre, Haifa, Jaffa, Gaza, and
several others in Egypt. The Zionist
engineers ,plan to convert Haifa into
one of the leading important commer-
cial centres of the near east.

port of China has at least one, are
chiefly for the manufac'tilre of the red

For the Starving Peo.le of Ar-

A despatch from Washington says:
-Following the appearance of Seo-

Ways and Means Committee relative
to an appropriation for the famished
of Europe, which was the subject of
discussion on Thursday by President
Wilson, it was announced that the

Secretary Glass said that he had a
conference with Herbert Hoover lass
night and that the latter had de-
clared that relief to the amount of
$50,000,000 would do Varm rather
than good to the starving. It was
estimated by Secretary glass that
Congress need not authorize more
than $125,000,000, .as Canada and Ar-

Immediate financial aid for the re-

pected of England. Secretary GIass
said that the officials of that country
had promised, however, to transport
the grain free of charge and that this
would be a great saving and would
afford not only prompt transportation
but greater relief, as there would be
no expense deducted from the appro-
priation for steamer transportation.
Secretary Glass said that common

States making an appropriation for
the relief of the starving in the three
countries.
