NEW YORK, Feb. THAT the Can

The Post article follows:

draw American agricultural labor from
the northwestern states across the

the shortage of labor there, has been
received by the Evening Posts receipt
of the following circular sent out by

CONFIDENTIAL CIRCULAR FOR
CANADIAN EDITORS:
"'(not for publications.
"G) Owing to the shortage of az
ricultural laborers in Canada, conse-
quent upon the absence of such large
proportion of Canadian manhood on
military service and in view OF the SUI
preme Importance of securing the Nigh
est possible production in natural pro-
ducts, the government is making an
effort to bring in from the United

much farm labor as possible. Editors

ION receipt of this document the
Evening Post at once telegraphed to
Sir Robert L. Borden, premier OF
Canada, for an explanation, but Sir
Robert declined to make any state
ment for publication. The Evening
Post then approached the United
States government. Inquiry at the
department of agriculture in Wash
ington elected the information that
/ the United States government was
not aware Of the move. A few months
before the United States entered the
war, however, Canada sent agents
into the central and middle west to
get farm laborers for western Can.
ada, but as soon as Secretary Hous.
ton discovered it, he made protest
to the Canadian government and the
campaign was stopped. There is no
question but that the department OF
agriculture will now make inquiry
again of the Canadian government
and in the end will act vigorously to
prevent the loss of American labor
SO vitality needed just now for the
cultivation of our fields.
The department Of agriculture has
lately been bombarded with requests
from various parts Of the country for
aid in solving the farm labor prob
lem and at time when every effort
is being made to prevent farm hands
from accepting employment in the
more lucrative occupations of ship
building and munitions making, all
the agencies of the government are
straining hard to keep intact agri'
cultural labor.

Wall street today failed to respond
