Asmevai Of Restrictions Necessary Dur.

Faith In peminion's Future.

For period during the late war.
and for while after its 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 it was deemed possible to
remove some of these restrictions. 1t
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
ful. The news Of their removal. sent
broadcast, has met with such re-

they had not killed interest In Canada,
and that faith In the Dominion as
country where n new existence, happy
and fruitful, was as complete as ever.

stream. which, given freer release, Is

As pointed out by the writer previously
quoted. Canada has successfully i'm

she draws her people that her prime
and crying need is for those who will
go on lnnd. and Of those entering the
country the bulk is composed of agrl-
culturists. Every country which has
formerly contributed to Canaia's pop
ulation has resumed its mission to its
shores.
THE lowering Of the barriers has
had n farthcr-reaching effect than the
entry into the country Of many for
