The question will come up. IL is pointed

for this work.? This Is the question the
supporters of the movement to have the
apparatus transferred to the government
are asking themselves. They had thought
that Mr.. Straus' action in agreeing TO
make the transfer Internationally would
settle the whole matter. and that shortly
the public health officials could begin
their Investigations In conjunction with
the experts Of the bureau Of animal In
dustry of the Agricultural Department,
but even now matters are not simplined
to a great extent. as Congress Will stiil

They expected that when Mr.. Straus

Emile Berliner and DR.. G. Lloyd Ma
gruder. sent his letter to Surgeon General
Wyman agreeing to give the plant to the
government Internationally that imme-
date arrangements would be made to
take over the apparatus. remove it to the
public health station. and that shortly
the service would begin an investigation
of the relative merits OF raw and pas
teurixed milk for infant feeding.
Instead of DIR. Wyman accepting at
once, he announced today that he would
have to consult with Secretary MacVeagh
as to what should be done in the matter.
Mr.. MacVeagh was not at the Treasury

Assistant Secretary Bailey said the law
was clear in the matter. and that moth

OFFICIAL INVITATION
TO AMERICANS
HOW ROBERT ROGERS, MINISTER
OF THE INTERIOR, IN WINNIPEG
ADDRESS, ISSUES WELCOME
OF AMERICANS TO WEST
ERIN CANADA.

During the course of reply to an
address presented to Hon. Robert Rog
ers, the newly Appointed Minister Of
the Interior Of Canada at a banquet
given at Winnipeg In 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 (lntersor) IL
that Of immigration.
III there is anything more than an
other we want here 1t Is q greater pop.
ulation, and 1t shall be my duty to pre-
sent to the people IL 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-
1oyment OF freedom as great as they
ever knew, and all contributing In a
material way towards the development
Of Canada. We are not blind to their
value as settlers. They come better
equipped with scientific farming
knowledge than most Of our emf
grants. and constitute without doubt
the wealthiest class of emigrants any
new country has ever known. AS
head OF the immigration department 1t
will be my privilege to offer them a
welcome hearty and sincere. and to
80 contribute to their welfare that un-
der the protecting folds of the Union
Jack they will enjoy as great degree
Of liberty and happiness as under the
Stars and Stripes. The Borden gov
eminent cherishes nothing but tho
kindliest feelings fer the people Of the
great republic 20 the south. and will
do all in its power to increase the
bonds Of kinship and neighborly good
feeling that has 80 long existed.
f(Hear, hear.)
while we adopt vigorous emf.
grafton policy in that country. we will
also adopt the same vigorous policy In
other parts Of the world We will go
to England, ireland and Scotland, and
every other country irrespective Of
race, creed or nationality. where we
can find suitable and desirable emf
grants for this great country. l think
much good work can be done In those
countries, and especially perhaps at
the present time in England, Ireland
and Scotland. Now, then. 1t will be
my duty to stir up that policy In the
most vigorous manner possible"
