the border are suffering from serious
and most infectious diseases. The
fact is still more startling when 1t is
known that all this deceased army of
paupers is left to fost itself upon the
principal centers of population in the
| Dominion. The chief maladies from
which these rejected immigrants suf-
fer are tracoma, a disease of the eye
which eventually causes total blind
ness, and favors, a scalp ailment not
unlike leprosy, which causes loss of
the hair and leaves the scalp covered
with a loathsome scab. Both di-
seases are highly infectious and both
are indigenous to southwestern Eu-
rope and Asiatic Turkey.
These diseased mendicants are now
being at the average rate of about
100 a week upon the Dominion, and
this dumping process has been going
on ever since last autumn. The
average Canadian has no idea ofthe
constantly increasing number of the
diseased and destitute Europeans
there are in this country. The Uni
ted States has at present competent
staff of fifty officials at the several
border points, and they shut tight
the door against this undesirable
class of people. Since last Septem-
Der about 500 persons at the port of
Montreal alone were rejected as un-
fit to enter the United States. and
consequently remained in Canada.
