The suggestion by Rudyard Kplue that Canada avoid
trouble by encouraging British stock to settle in the Denim
ion is interesting but impractical In carrying out policy
Of international development Canada would scarcely be
disposed to restrict its immigration thus narrowly if
could nor has Great Britain the population to
with which to carry out this suggestion. Emigration TO the
United States and Canada has already drained its popua
ton more than is to its liking. Such talk is futile The
great territory north Of the Uued States bound to de-
other than Great Britain. The policy advocated by Kip
ling if it could be carried out would have significance
asd from the consideration Of homoCeneiy It would
have most important bearing on the political future Of
Canada With population multiplied BY RECRUITS from
every nation Of Europe. Canada will not be kept in
pathy with England SO easily as It not is independence
will become larger possibility and the sentiment for
nexaton the United States may easily be strengthened
to marked extent.

Not strange or cold, but very dear
The glad homeland not far away,
Where none are sick, or poor, or
