SATURDAY, OCTOBER Il, 1913.

The United States is looking with envious eyes upon the suc-
cess of Canada’s immigration policy, which is attracting to this
country the best class of new citizens. No less than 402,432 per-
sons entered the Dominion during the last fiseal year, In point of
nationality Canada’s new citizens, it is said, are in marked contrast
with those now coming to the United States. The sources for the
last year were: British, 150,542; United States, 199,009; other
countries, 112,881. In round figures Canada’s total arrivals since
the opening of the present’ century have numbered 2,700,000, of
whom 1,000,000 were British, 750,000 from the United States, 165,-
000 from Austria-Hungary, 88,000 from Italy, 67,000 from Russia,
61,000 Jewish, and 31,000 from Germany. Canada not only gets
a liberal supply of immigrants, but they come from the best part of
the Old World, while the number emigrating from the United
States is certainly significant. Many reasons are given for the
attraction Canada presents toimmigrants from the United States,
but more discussion is now being centered on the problem of how
the United States can attract the better class of European immi-
grant. In all probability when the Panama Canal is open British
Columbia will be attracting a large proportion of the Southern
European races which at present go to New York direct.

A mining writer in the Prov-
ince says hehas the best direct
authority for stating that ar-
rangements are under way in
London to organize a company to
take up a large portion of the
