Swiss To Send
Canada Colonies

Winnipeg, Man, Nov. 21.--
Swiss colonies are to be estab7
lished in Canada. Mountain loving
folk of the little republic are re
become prairie farmers. The first
group will arrive with the estab-
lishment Of silk plant in Toronto
by Swiss capital This industry
will spread to other points and
serve as a means of ready employ
ment for the immigrants, most of
whom will later take up farming.
There has never been a tide Of
immigration from Switzerland to
the American continent. Content
ment was a predominating charac-
teristic before the wave of post
war unrest and depression. Now
large numbers of the industrious
folks are turning hopeful faces to-
ward Canada. The influx is ex-
pected to be large.
Experience has shown that the
Swiss are most desirable immi-
grants. Their natural industry
makes them builders. Their quick
adoption of western manners
makes assimilation easy.

Swiss comprise less than 10 pei
cent, Practically all are prosper
Gus farmers. The forefathers o.
many were pioneers. The frs
Swiss settlers came over just a
