Fine—let us do so! But to be sure we're on the straight and sure road to our goal, let us 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 be 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 ";! 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 farmers we most want, or in our method of attracting therm. Perhaps it's a combin- ation of the two. 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 increasing their de- pendence upon an export market over which they have no control! An Alternative Plan that Promises 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. Are 63 Countries Wrong 'and Only Canada Right? While Canada has been lowering her tariffs these 63 'countries have been raising theirs Algeria Japan Argentina Latvia Australia Luxembourg Austria Madagascar Belgium Malta Bolivia Mesopotamia Brazil Mexico BritishEast Africa .Netherland East Dependencies • Indies British Guiana Newfoundland British Honduras New Zealand British West Nigeria Indies Norway Bulgaria Paraguay Chile Persia China Peru Colombia Poland Czecho-Slovakia Portugal Ecuador Roumania Egypt Russia Esthonia Samoa Finland San Salvador France Sarawak Repub.of Georgia Serb -Croat - Germany. Slovene State Gold Coast Colony Greece Guatemala Holland Honduras India Irish Free State Italy Seychelles Sierra Leone South Africa Spain Sweden Switzerland• Tunis United States Uruguay 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 hire that, and he will come in his thousands, -yes, in his tens of thousands ! And 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 urfarm population? We want it to increase too!" Of course we do! But with town 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 protects farm. products in the same way that we propose to protect manufactured products? A Precedent That Shows What'Cn Be Done! We have tried the plan of lower tariffs, as a means of attracting farmer imrnigra , ,,,t ,, tion, and we see: that it has signally faild, 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. • And now even the United to be barren of results. Kingdom has begun to protect ` But we know that it is far beyond the her home markets. theory stage.
