The social economic committee on
the Reichsrath has presented an inter-
esting report to the Austrian govern
ment on the subject Of emigration. The
committee points out that the ques-
ton is one of great urgency, saying
that in the 10 years between 1860 and
1870 Austria lost through emigration
1000 persons annually, and this number
has increased to $4,000 persons in the
year 1902. The committee notes that
a large proportion of recent emigrants
is going to Canada. This is particular
~ true of the Ruthenians, whose num-
Der in North America is now so large
that it is probable an independent
Greek Catholic Episcopate will be es-
tablished either in the United states
or Canada to minister their spiritual
wants.
