The very latest figures supplied by •the Federal De- partment of Health, giving the num- bers „for Federal convictions for the year ending 31st 14I-areh, 1922, are as follows: • • • •Chin- Cibin- Total ese eSe Prin•ce Ecissard Island 0 0 0 Neva Scotia, . 9 8 1.

The new law attack- ing deportation as a penalty will prob- ably in a few years materially alter these figures. It is nicely that many, perhaps most bf the Chinese offenders, are not Canadian citizens and are therefore subject to deportation when convicted. These must either mend their ways or leave Canada. • It is interesting to note • that no mention is made of Japaaese or East Indians in this statement. It is sometimes argued by those op- posed to prohibition •of the .traffic in intoxecants that it results in increased addiction to the use of drugs. These official figures effectively ktfock the props from uader this contention. The two provinces not under prohibition show 552 convictions eut of 845 for all Canada. If 'the Chinese are left out the figures are 119 in these two pro- vinces out of 211 in all Canada. I do not argue that prohibition les- sens the use of drugs but that --it cer- tainly does- not increase It. British Colunabia's quota of -15, omitting the Chinese, whiela are more nieraerous there than in any other part of Cana: -da, is not abnormally large, being the same as Manitoba's and Saskatche- wan's. But it is sinigullar that in- aIl the Western Provinces, leaving out the Chinese, the convictions are propor- tionately muchlerger than in Ontario seessseaa.saasessemesesesseasessassa.

Mani- toba, Saskatchewan and British Co- lumbia have 15 each and Alberta 42; Ontario 14; with a copulation of half a million more than the four com- bined: ' •The case Of Quebec is also not easily explained. Two hundred and thirty even, including Chinese, or 104 not including them, is abnormal. This Is certainly net to be charged up to the French Canadians. Out of the 237 in that province only 21 are outside Montreal in an almost solid French' population, and of these 21 only 11 are •non-Chinesee Tbis''..s highly eredit- able to Quebec outside Montreal. Montreal itself is the most perplexing. The Health Department's more com- plete report gives- Montreal 216, in- cluding Chinese, or 93 without them in a Population of Perhaps. 750,000. Com- pare this •with the figures • for the whole of the Maritime Provinces, 25 including Chinese, or 6 without them, aut et a population of 1,0'00,000. Or •compare it agaia with Ontario con- victions -66 including Chinese or 14 without them, out of a population of not much lese than 3,000,000. This ca,n hardly be explained by the cosraepolitan character or' Montreal's population. • Winnipeg, Vancouver and other cities are (pito as cosmopolitan in proportion to population as Mont- real, And there is no finer type of population anywhere than the people of Montreal in general.
