:Claims to Have Been Born Near
Crediton, — tIt is time the 'United
States and Canada came to some def-
inite and reasonable agreement on the
functioning of their different immigra-
tion laws, There have been many in-
stances in the last few years, as the
immigration laws have been tighten-
ed, in which people have been unjust-
ly and unreasonably exiled 'from eith-
er Canada or the States, comments
the London Free Press, The latest
case concern's one George Foss, a
farmer of Cadillac, Mich, where he
lived for 60 years, but now spends his
days in a Windsor police station and
his nights on a Windsor park bench
because the country where he ,lived
for six decades won't let him across
the border. The unreasonableness of
Vine situation has excited the just in-
dignation of 'a .Detrain paper, which
says. editorially: "Even when the
facts of the case are set forth it is
hard to believe that federal officials
can be so callous and lacking' in cam-
non sense as they seem to have been
in this, instance.' Foss was born near
Crediton, Ont„ and carte to _l'Iic'higan

the father tiled a declarat.io:n' of in-
