R. B. Bennett as saying that settlers from other than British countries lake good Canadians and tries to put in the wrong those who have been calling attention to the some- what alarming preponderance of set- tlers from the Continent of Europe 'n, the west during the past few years. The Signal says: "Canada is British and British ideals are not narrow and selfish." That is very true and we shduld be selfish, indeed, if we denied the blessings of this great country to those who wish to settle in it from the countries over the seas, provided they are healthy in body, mind and morals. ''But what we wish td do and what we ought to do is' to make sure that Canada remains British. And this is net from any selfish motive, either, but because we believe that under the British flag. the truest freedom is enjoyed. And the fact remains that settlers from other than British countries have far outnumbered British settlers in the past few years and the question is, how long will Canada remain British if this goes on year after year? The News= Record is not trying to make political capital out of the question, it is just plainly anxious in face of, the present trend of. events.
