Fine ----let us do so! But robe sure we're on the straight and sure road to our begin by doing some clear thinking --some hard thinking ---.on :these two important questions 1. What class of immigrants do we want? 2. How are we going to attract them? Valuable Lessons to lie Learned from Past Failures. Heretofore we have always taken it for granted --without much careful thought, perhaps—that it was farmer immigrants we most wanted,—people who would settle on our vacant land in the West, and produce more from the soil, And complaints being loud and numerous that farming in Canada was not as pro- fitable as it should be, we have tried to convert an unattractive situation into an attractive one by lowering the tariff on manufactured goods, in the hope of thereby lowering farm production costs, and so increasing the farmer's net. Has that plan gotten us anywhere ? , In 1924, despite tariff reductions made ostensibly to benefit agriculture, there were actually fewer farm immigrants than in 1923 1 And when, against the total immi- gration for 1923 and 1924, we offset the total emigration from our towns and cities, we find that the country has suffered a net loss So, obviously there is something wrong— somewhere—in the plan we have been following,—either in the assumption that it is fanners we most want, or in our method of attracting them, Perhaps it's a combin- ation of the two. found, and all the pressing problems that now beset our country will be well o ' Population Increases Should be Properly Balanced. In shaping our policy as above, we have certainly overlooked one very important point. •Farmers as a rule don't sell to farmers, but to town and city folk. So when we try to increase farm population by methods that operate to decrease town and city population, we are actually making things worse for the very people we are trying to benefit. We are curtailing a domestic market that our farmers can control, and we are inereasing their de- pendence upon an export market over which they have no control! An Alternative Plan that Promisee Better Success. ' Let us now go back to the beginning again, and start from the alternative assumption that it's' primarily town and city population we want to attract. TE FOR Are 63 Countries Wrong and Only Canada Right? While Canada has been lowering her tariff, these 63 countries have been raising theirs:— Algeria Argentina Australia Austria Belgium Bolivia Brazil BritishEast Africa Dependencies British Guiana British Honduras British West Indies Bulgaria Chile China Colombia Czecho-Slovakia Ecuador Egypt. Esthouia Finland France Repub. of Georgia Germany Gold Coast Colony Greece Guatemala Holland Honduras India Irish 'Free State Italy Japan .. Latvia Luxembourg Madagascar Malta Mesopotamia Mexico Netherland East Indies Newfoundland New Zealand Nigeria Norway Paraguay Persia Peru Poland - Portugal Roumania Russia Samoa San Salvador Sarawak Serb -Croat - Slovene State Seychelles Sierra Leone South Africa Spain Sweden Switzerland Tunis United States Uruguay And now even the United Kingdom has begun to protect her home markets. 63 Countries have been mak- ing it more difficult for Canada to sell in their 'markets, while Canada has been making it easier for the whole world to sell in hers! Have they all blundered? Has Canada alone shown wisdom? Obviously the way to attract that class is by switching from a policy of lower duties to one of higher duties. The one thing above all others that the immigrant wants is the assurance of a steady job at good wages. Give him that, and he will come in his thousands,—yes, in his tens of thousands ! Anil in a policy of higher tariffs he will 'have his guarantee that steady work at good wages will be await- ing him. "Yes," you say, "but what about our farm population? We want it to increase too!" Of course we do! But with tour: and city population increasing, can. farm population do other than increase in pro- portion? With more customers for farm produce, and with a higher purchasing power per customer due to higher wages, isn't it inevitable that a domestic supply will be forthcoming to meet a domestic demand, particularly if - we protect farm products in the same way that we propose to protect manufactured products? A Precedent That Shows What Can Be Done! We have tried the plan of lower tariffs, as a means of attracting farmer immigra- tion, and we see that it has signally failed, and we know the reasons why it has failed. Why not now try the alternative plan of higher tariffs, as a means of attracting urban immigration, when it seems per- fectly • clear that it'° must bring farmer immigration in its train? Even if the latter were mere theory, that would be no valid reason for rejecting it in favor .of a policy we have tried, and found to be barren of results. But we know. that it is far beyond the theory stage. The United States offers a practical demonstration of its success 1 By the plan of higher tariffs, to 'benefit all classes of population, the United States has managed to attract the biggest and longest sustained immigration movement the world,has ever' known!
