Removal Of Restrictions Necessary Dur.
Ing the War Has Shown Worlds
Faith In pominion's Future.
For period during the late war.
and for while after It's close, there
was put into operation by the Canadian
government legislation restricting GER
tain classes and people Of the countries
which were not lined up with the allied
nations from being admitted to Canada.
This was quite necessary, and the rea-
sons for 1t will be so apparent that
they need not be given. However. the
time came, In the early summer Of this
year, when II was deemed possible to
remove some Of these restrictions. It
was found that there were many who
came under their ruling that were of
q class that Canada needed and who
needed Canada. The restrictions,
doubtless, were drastic, but were need
full. The news Of their removal, sent
broadcast, has met with such a re-
Spouse as TO give ample evidence that
they had not killed Interest in Canada,
and that faith In the Dominion AS a
country where n new existence, happy
and fruitful, was as complete as ever.

be carried out. 1t showed that while
Canada was seeking settlers, its lands
and its homes were net intended us a

standard set as Canada's laws of civ.

removed these restrictions still have

AS pointed out by the writer previously
quoted, Canada has successfully i'm
pressed on those countries from which
she draws her people that her prime

country the bulk is composed of agri.

formerly contributed 10 Canada's pop
nlntion has resumed its mission to its
shores.
The lowering Of the barriers has
had a farthcr-reaciilng effect than the
entry into the country of many for.

stringency. 1t has had moral effect,
The restriction was rightly regarded
as an indication of Canada's internal
economic condition, and many persons
and families of comfortable means con.

discouraged from doing no. In the re.
