cut 9 dation on provincial rail links.

The Chamber handles railway con- struction in two resolutions. One reads in part - “The British Colum- bia Chamber of Commerce believes that the development and economic unification of the province is being seriously impeded by the lack of di- rect rail communication between the northerly and southerly parts of the province... . It is of vital im- ortance, therefore, that the govern- ment of British Columbia, together with all interested bodies make every effort to proceed with the construc- jtion-of a suitable rail link connect- ing the Peace River block and the southern coastal area. Such rail link would of necessity cross the north-

ern transcontinental rail line of the Canadian National Railway and goods could flow though any Pacific coast port.” Z

‘The other resolution, also headed “Railway Construction”, reads:» ‘Be it resolved that the B.C. Chamber of Commerce recognizes that the con- struction of rail connection between the northern section of the province, and particularly that of the Peace River Bloc, and existing Pacific coast ports, is of vital importance to the development of the latent 1 sources of our vast northern coun- try; and at the same time feels that the lack of immediate traffic returns should not be a deterrent factor, and urges that such an undertaking Should be looked upon as imperative and necessary;

“And be it further resolved that the B.C. Chamber does not at this time favour any particular route but urges the government to have au ap- propriate survey made to determine the practicability of different routes to the Pacific coast.”

This Week In Ottawa

By E. D. Fulton, M.P.

November 28, 1953. With the answering of written questions which took place on Wed- nesday for the first time this Session, the usual amount of interesting — and in some cases important — in- [fomation has come to light. For in- stance, an answer to a question by Mr. Diefenbaker reveals that since athe 1st of January last year, there have been 644 occasions where the use of the mails has been denied be- cause the person using them was sus- pected of conducting a lottery. This is a pretty revealing indication of the extent to which lotteries are carried on in Canada — when you remember that this refers only to the known cases, and to the cases where the ‘ottery has been carried on through the mail. There is hardly a person who will not himself recollect occa- sions when the opportunity to buy lottery tickets has been offered to him, this not through the mails; and if these cases are all added together, it will be found that the number of lotteries actually being conducted is in the thousands. The widespread ex- istence of lotteries, many of them for charitable purposes, in spite of the prohibition against them under the Criminal Law, is a reminder that [the whole question of the gambling laws is one of the very knotty ones to be grappled with in connection with the revision of the Criminal Code. IMMIGRATION Other figures concerned the vol- ume of immigration, and the per- centage of immigrants originating in other countries. The figures reveal an interesting and in many respects disturbing trend when considered in the light of the traditional propor- tions of racial origin in Canada. In the first six months of 1953, a total of 78,000 immigrants entered Can- ada. Of these, just under 24,000, or

30 per cent, were of British origin. The other 70 per cent are non-Brit- ish. After the United Kingdom, the county from which the largest single group of new Canadians came was Germany, whence 14,000 immigrants came to Canada. This was foilowed by Holland, with a total of 12,000 Dutch immigrants, and Italy with just over 8,000. The disturbingly small number of immigrants coming in from the United Kingdom is a re- minder of the difficulty facing those from that country who wish to come to Canada by reason of the current regulation which prevents them from bringing sterling assets with them.
