During the course Of = reply to A
address presented to Hon. Robert Rog-
ers, the newly appointed Minister Of
the Interior Of Canada at banquet
given at Winnipeg N his honor that
gentleman spoke on immigration. The
tone Of his remarks was that he intend
ed to pursue an aggressive and for
ward policy In the matter Of immigra-
ton. In part, he said:
"The most important branch per.
haps of that department (Interior) -
that Of immigration.
IF there is anything more than an
other we want here 1t is greater pop
ulation, and It shall be my duty to pre-
sent to the people in all parts Of the
world where desirable emigrants are
to be found the advantages and the
great possibilities Of this country. We
have received in the past reasonably
large immigration from south Of the
international boundary, and in this
connection let me say Just word for
our American cousins who have found
happy homes amongst us, and those
whom we hope to welcome in greater
numbers in the years to come. There
are hundreds of thousands OF them In
our prairie provinces. happy In the en-
,oyment of q freedom as great as they
ever knew, and all contributing in
material way towards the development
Of Canada. We are not blind to their
value as settlers They come better
equipped with scientific farminu
knowledge than most OF our emS
grants, and constitute without doub4
the wealthiest class OF emigrants any
new country has ever known A

of liberty and happiness as under the

eminent cherishes nothing but the
kindliest feelings for the people OF the
great republic to the south. and win
do all In its power to increase the
bonds Of kinship and neighborly good
feeling that has SO long existed
(Hear, hear.)
while we adopt vigorous emil
grafton policy in that country. we win
also adopt the same vigorous policy In
other parts Of the world. We win 80

every other country irrespective Of

can find suitable and desirable emf
grants for this great country. think
much good work can be done in those
countries. and especially perhaps at

and Scotland. Now, then, It will be
my duty to stir up that policy in the
