The United States' policy of severe restrictions on inunigration is un- stilted ;to Canada. ;TheUnitedStates has a population of upwards of 11$,- 000,000 ,people,' It cities are filled to over -flowing. Its farm lands are over- built no cul fed. It has largely occupied. built railways, few idle factories, no of ergro;wn towns and utilities. It has almost ceased to be .an exporter of wheat, its debt burden is' not' great and its taxation is declining. • i. t.l Canada is in - a different posit of Its population is 9,000,000 and, theal difference in ;population is decitlelyl disproportionate to any difference that exists in the comfortably in- ha�bitable areas of'the two countries. Its resources are scarcely explored. instead o f ' isgrowing t s Its dobe:burden. g S g being reduced -as in the U:S A,,, Eng -1 land and elsewhere, : The sv,eight must Ibe distributed over a larger - number of •shoulders. There never was a time when so many splendid types of European imtnirgrants were so anxious to conte to Canada as to -day. We are not getting them, We could get them. Si' Clifford Sifton, as Laur'ier's minister' of im- migration, at a time when conditions; were much less favorable, made `a great immigration record. 'Canada can absorb and Canadianizc 500,000• to million able-bodied workmen every year• We can ask' that every new citizen be of the type whose children wilt make good 'Canadian citizens and be good enough to inter=marry with our' present stocks. But : Canada's national motto should be, "Welcome start hat and ^l n your r. Hang p sl eau c g g to work," Getting immigrants, ho\stcver,. is not enough. By tax reduction and a bringing back of prosperity Canada must be given the power of hold its immigrants when it gets them.

Saturday after spending a than that of Mr. Gordon? The But Canada might more fittingly follow antral Post has demanded an tui-' the United States than in regad to immigration. The United States has mediate election. to clear the tr for business and in making its de- mand has accused the :present gov- ernment of lack of courage in .handling the important problems of the day. It has asked for a re- choosing of national leaders to the end of obtaining for the cotuttry a government with a popular man- date and with the support of public opinion; a ;government that will put an end to national loafing and really solve some of the outstanding prob- lems of Canada to -day. The ques- tion indicates a lack of understanding on the -part of the deputy speaker of the responsibilities and functions of a government. The people elect a government to provide them with happiness and prosperity. It is the duty of the government to deter- mine the 'policies that will bring such a condition. The people may suggest' but they look to their gov- ernment to do the work and if it fails the government ']las proven itself incapable. The failure of the ;Present government is best indicaated, l•y.,its failure to 'bring prosperity to Caanada. Canada is far from pros- perous; only a professional politician would deny 'this statement. 'Generally speaking, 'business is r nor Conservative. va tive. neither Liberal The great national problems to -day are not problems concerning which the parties have clearly differentiated 'policies. In action or inaction in the railway problem, the immigration problem, the taxation problem lies difference between prosperity and de- pression in Canada. There 'can be no party split on that point. Sound solutions of these problems may notbe missing from the Liberal party's policies, but solution's of these problems are missing from 'the peesent government's policies. The Financial Post—and the business community at large—have lost con- fidence in 'the present government because it does nothing, not 'because it is Liberal. The honorable and learned mem- ber from Peterboro is entitled to an answer. He asks for the policy of hte Financial Post on: Immigration. Civil Service Administration. Railways. It is ironical that he should de- mand a definite laying down of principles on questions that have brouglht Ito definite policies from 'Iris colleagues, Surely he has heard 'the voice of 'business on these matters. Surely hg has not been deaf to the insistent cry of business' men for courageous solutions, and the defin- ite suggestions that have been made .byour banking and business leaders in public announcements. 'The answer to .Mr. Gordon need 'be little more than an interpretation of the viewpoint of business. He shall have his answer. He does not ask for the. policy of the Financial Post on another equally important ques- tion that was also mentioned in the front, page editorialaof last week that caught his eye and aroused his anger: 'Taxation. He shall have some comments on this problem as well. . The greatest of our problems, to- day--though oday though it would, be unfortunate if it became the greatest of our issues —is the railway problem. The Fin- ancial Post knows that, many of the powerful minds of the country be- lieve that the immediate method ' of eliminating the deficits in the .govern- tneut-owned railway system, and at the same time protectnig shippers; with moderate freight tariffs, is through the consolidation of opera- atlon of the two great rail ;highways of Canada, Enormous savings, per- haps < $75,000,000 to $100,000,000 a year, it universally admitted, would a director of the :bud.get; Canada needs a similar -official to act as a director of civil government and to head a central budget 'bureau. Busi- ness adnministration under a business administrator cut 'federal expenditure in hhSf at Washington and lopped thousands of useless limbs off the -tree of civil government, Canada could do the same, trust do the sa.tn slif it is to reduce taxes and give impetus to 'business. Perhaps poli- ticians and even the cabinet cannot see bow this could be done. A high- grade executive, sitting at Ottawa, and armed -with managerial author- ity over the 'business administration of the government, -could see how to do it and could save Canada millions yearly. 'There, Mr. Gordon, are -the answers •to your questions. You did not mention taxation: Let us discuss the :point but briefly since the need for tax reduction in Canada is -so apparent that only the wilfully blind cannot see it. High taxation in Canada is a definite factor in prevent- ing a return to normalcy in 'business; in dimming the flow of new capital into industrial and other investments. It is threatening to snake Canada so unattractive a place to live that lin-I migration v itt he seriously affected. Taxes must come down; before they ;can be reduced expenses of govern- ment administration and railway losses must be reduced. Taxation is, therefore, diiieetly linked with the. .problems of the railways and of ad- ministration of the civil govern- ment, AND Y v will be held in the Town Park ' q Wingham on Wednesday, Sept at 2 pan.
