Is Canada to Bar the Door?
',,abar leaders and the Labor Press.
want immigration stopped. Lobbyists
have been busy at Ottawa for some
time picturing before members the
fearful results in unemployment that
would likely follow if Canada does not
bar the door to immigration; .The un-
employment situation is not a new
problem. Winnipeg and Canada have
been dealing with it annually for the
past twenty years. Any excess in un-
'employment at the present time is due
to the fact that the public stopped
buying goods made dearby too high a
cost of production, in whishlabor
figures largely. There is abundance
of work in Canada and there will be
plenty for everybody to do-immi-
grans and all—for years to come. The
present difficulty is that capital will^
not gamble on the prest!<iit high cost
of production. Therefore it is not the
scarcity of work that is causing the
trouble but time scarcity of capital.
The propaganda that Labor leaders
have been spreading in the Labor
Press is of an entirely selfish and
class distinction. The phase of the.
immigration question considered by
them, is how will immigration affect
Labor supply, or to be more concrete,
how will it affect wages? Labor lead-
ers speak of possible immigration ag-
gregates that will likely flood Canada,
but they never eliminate the 30 to 40
per cent. of women, school children,
land under, included in immigration
totals; that do not enter the labor mar-
ket. Statistics show that of every
twenty male immigrants over 21 years
Of age, the average is about three.
skilled laborers, ten unskilled workers,
and the other seven of professional
and miscellaneous occupations. What
,would Canada have done in pre-war
years without immigration? Where
will Canada be if the resolution now
before the Ottawa House "that. all Im
rhigration be suspended until a normal
condition of affairs Is established," is
considered. There is a general im-
pression that the only immigrants
Canada needs, are those going direct-
ly on the farms. That is true, • but
will the immigrant coming to Canada
tgo directly to the farm? Mr, W, S,
Bennett, member of the United States
Immigration Commission, who worked
two and a half years investigating the
question of immigration abroad, chal-
lenges any statement that -the cities
are the wrong place for the immi-
grant, so far as the immigrant is con-
cerned.
Mr. Bennett goes on•.to say that the,
Immigration Commission, found the
fact td be that 98 per cent, of the im-
migrants in a general way, and some-
times very specifically, know what
employment they are going into be-
fore they leave their homes, their wives
and other dependents. •The reason
why the immigrant goes to the cities,
Ma Bennett explains, is that he has
a better chance to earn a little ready
money and that there are also oppor-
tunities for him, if he is of a foreign
tongue, to talk to Hien of his own
peon le, who speak his language, which
is most e seen'tiel during the tune, that
he is learning the English language
and the local situation. "If the oppor-
tunities o11 the farm are greater than
those offered in the city, the imml'
grant will soon find it out and act ac-
cordingly," says Mr, Bennett,
•
Mr. Beni ett asks the question
should anyone blame the newly ar-
rived immigrant for going to the place
where he finds compatriots, a place of
worship, and helpful surroundings
for him to get the right start in a new
land. If he cannot speak English, he,
has an opportunity in the first few
months to gain a wider knowledge of
Canadian conditions from people of
his own birth • who are always to be
found in the cities and towns. If
when the immigrant first lands he is
not trained or even equipped to go
cut on the prairies to settle down and
get a living from the soil, what is the
use of sending him out there to be-
come a disgruntled and dissatisfied
citizen? Immigration is a problem of
great consequence to the people of
Canada to -day. Immigration has a
great influence on industry and on our
prosperity which is the basis of re-
venue for the government The pub-
lic generally, should seriously protest
against any governmental action
which would prevent the entry of de-
sirable immigration into Canada. A
constructive policy of selective im-
migration is needed and it is up to
Canada to establish a constructive
policy based on a careful examination
of conditions here and abroad to the
end that it may safeguard our in-
terests and promote the general wel-
fare, regardless of any one class.
Canada needs new people, needs
them badly, on the farms and in all
lines of industrial activity where it is
now almost impossible to get men to
do the great amount of necessary
rough labor to keep industry moving.
Certainly, there are people who -
should not be permitted to come into
the country, lfecause in the very na-
ture of things their admittance means
conflict and radical social disturbance
in our midst. Canada already has its
share of. this class.
Canada is not, Elie congested coun-
try that Labor leaders would have
people think. Canada covers an area
of 3,603,910 square miles. Now let us
deduct one-third, or say 1,200,000
square miles of what might be classed
at present, as undesirable or unpro-
ductive areas: This leaves a basis of
approximately two and a half million
square miles, Canada could absorb_
the entire population of the British
Isles (England, Scotland and Ireland),
and then have 350 less people to the
square mile than now exists in the
Old Land. Placing our present popu-
lation at 10,000,000, • that means an
average -of 4 people per square mile
in Canada.
The population per square mile for
Great Britain and Ireland is 374. The
population of France taken by the
census of 1913, - gave 40,412,220, or a
population. of 193 persons to the
square mile. In 1912 the population of
Belgium was 7,510,418, and the -popu-
lation per square mile was 658 per-
sons. The population of the German
Empire in Europe in 1911, was 60,100,-
000, or a population of 311 to the
square mile.
In face of the above, is there any
wonder why the people of Great Bri-
tain, of France, and of Belgium,
Surnames and Their Origin
DAVIS
Variations—David, Davidson, Davi-
son, Davie, Davies, Davey, Davers,
Davye, Dayson, Days, Day, Dawson,
Dawkins, Dawkinson, Dakins, Dav-
idge, Dow, MacDavid, MacDaid, Mac -
Dade, Kay, Dodd, Dodson.
Racial Origin—English and Celtic.
Source—A given name.
Frolic the foregoing list of variations
• It looks almost as if every family
name beginning with "D" belongs to
the Davis group. As a matter of fact
David has given rise to an exception-
ally large cumber of family navies, be-
cause it was a far more popular given
name in the Middle Ages than it is to-
day.
These family names come in the
first place from the unchanged name
'David, giving us, bythe various pro
cesses of adding "son," cutting it
:down to a mere "s" and the elision of
the final "d" in some cases, Davis,
1David, Davidson, Davison, Davie,
Davies, Davers, etc.
But a most widespread variation of
,the given name In the Middle Ages
was "Daw," derived from the pronun-
ciation of the name with the broad
"a" (like Daw-vid). The lr»g "a," as
in "day" is a development ' a.odern
English. This variation grace rise to
the family names of Dawson, Dawkin-
son ("little Daw's son") and Dawkins.
The broad- "a" pronunciation also
sometimes led to Dodd and Dodson,
though these names are more cone
nionly ascribed to the old .Anglo-Saxon
given name of "Dodi" or "Dodd."
The given name of Daviel also had
a strong Iiold in Scotland of the Mid-
dle Ages, and was borne by a number
of the Scottish kings, where it is to
be found, principally among branches
of the Clan •Chattan Confederacy, in
time Celtic forms of "MacDhais,"
"Clean Daibhaidh" . and "Cuann
Da'ldh," whence the Anglicized forms
of MacDavid, MacDaid, Macdade and
Kay. The English forms of Davie,
Davis, Dawson, Dow also are found
as s•epts of this clan, known to -day as
Davidson.
The family. name of Davidge is
simply a variation in spelling and pro-
nuuciation of Davids.

The King's Watch.
Recent revelations of the "adventur-
ous lives led by members of the Bri-
tish Secret Service raise the ques-
tion, "How many people have heard of
the King's Watch?"
This decoration, regarded as one of
the greatest honour the King can be•
stow, is awarded to Secret Service
men only.
The decoration consists of a gold
hunter watch of exquisite workman-
ship, Inside the ease is inscribed the
wards, "For Services Rendered,—
George."
,About' twelve of these decorations
were won during the war. The seer
vines rendered by one of the brave re-
cipients—a naval officer -will serve to
illustrate that the King's Watch is a
hard-earned honor. The officer in
question, an excellent Germanlinquist,
spent eighteen months mixing with
enemy sailors at the German naval
basee of Kiel and Wilheln3shaven, He
transmitted the Information he ob-
tained to the British Government, to
whom it was invaluable.
Every country has its special decora-
tion for these adventurous men. One
Central American republic awards a
tiny gold dagger, inscribed with words
similar to those an the King's Watch.

Not Our Idea of Beauty,
The most noticeable peculiarity
about the Ainu women of .Japan, ac-
cording to the New York Tribune, is
that they have tattooed upon, their up.
per and lower lips what resembles -a
moustache. The tattooing begins when
the girl is a child. The artist does it
gradually, a little each year, until the
mark extends partly across the cheek,
The material that he uses is the soot
from burning birch bury. First the
tattooer cuts his lines into the face
and then rubs the black in. After-
wards he washes the place with a solu-
tion of ash -bark liquor to fix the color.
Without that decoration no Einu
would think a woman attractive, and
it would not be easy for an untattoo-
ed woman to get a husband.
