Removal of Restrictions Necessary Dur ing the War Has Shown Worlds
 Faith in Dominion's Future.

| was put into operation by the Canadian | government legislation restricting cer- l tain classes and people of the countries
 which were not lined up with the allied | nations from being admitted to Canada. 1 This was quite necessary, and the req | sons for it will be so apparent that | they need not be given. However, the | time came, in the early summer of this year, when it was deemed possible to | remove some of these restrictions. It | was found that there were many who | came under their ruling that were of | 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- sponse as to give ample evidence that they had not killed interest in Canada, and that faith in the Dominion as
 country where a new existence, happy
 and fruitful, was as complete as ever.
 As has been stated by one writer deal
 ing with this subject, 'the opening of
 the doors a little wider has but dis
 closed the dammed-up state of the
 stream, which, given freer release, is
 pouring in fuller force over the Do-
 miniOn."
 As to the moral effect of the Iegisla-

 be carried out, it showed that while
 Canada was seeking settlers, it's lands
 and it's homes were not intended as a
 shelter for those unable to meet the
 standard set as Canada's laws of civ
 iliZation, the concessions which have
 removed these restrictions still have
 in view the maintenance of this stand
 ard, and those who are still allowed in are subject to the same require ments that have prevailed for years. AS pointed out by the writer previously quoted, Canada has successfully inn pressed on those countries from which she draws her people that her prime and crying need is for those who will go on land, and of those entering the country the bdlk is composed of agri- culturists. Every country which has formerly contributed to Canada's pop ulation has resumed its mission to its shores
 .''The lowering of the barriers has had a farther-reaching effect than the entry into the country of many for merly debarred by reasons of financial It has had moral effect. | The restriction was rightly regarded | as an indication of Canada's internal | condition, and many persons | and families of comfortable means con- | Canadian settlement were | from doing SO. In the re- mova1 is seen the first blush of the | dawn of better days, and consequently | many of those arriving are in a condi- ton to establish rapidly and securely
 ''Though Canadian immigration falls broadly into the two classes, British and American, many European peoples nave contributed in large measure to ha apTicn1t11ral dpV01nnmPDt fbe Western provinces, and it is gratifying o note the same healthy interest in Canada evinced by the most desirable If these
 Amongst those from the European countries are SerbianS, Poles, Swiss, Dutch, Jugo-Slavs, Trench, Danish, Norwegians, Swedes, Tfnns and Lithuanians. All have con- tituted fine, desirable citizen-building as the few detentions and esser deportations bear testimony. Furthermore, the disturbed industrial coalitions of the New England states ave resulted in the commencement of n exodus of French-Canadian families ack to their old homes, which may each an appreciable size.
 "On all sides this awakening of in- crest is evident. It is a new faith orne on the crest of the wave of tighter prospects, the dawn of a fuller in the continued inability f many other countries to emerge rom the economic slough into which ne war plunged them, of the desirabil- y of Canada as country more rapid 7 throwing off it's post-bellum depres- ion, and it's great place in the worlds future.
