Fill Vacant Lands!
The doors of the United States Of
America are now only partially opened
to emigrants. Would it not have been
we'll for Canada to have taken prompt
and full advantage of these excep-
tional conditions to fill up her vacant
lands? She has endless reserves of
undevelOped wealth. She needs men
and women to open them up and ex-
plot them for the greater enrichment
OF the great dominion and the happi-
ness Of it's people. There is a lag
somewhere. Where is It?
Canada is unquestionably missing
one of the greatest opportunities
ever presented to it of advancing its
real power. It might now acquire an
accession of strength which it needs
by attracting to It's soil a proportion
Of this fine population. They are men
and women Of the same race and ira
dition as the majority of the people Of
Canada. A few years hence the
chance may have gone.
The ordinary methods Of attracting
emigrants are worthless. \ holder
and more enterprising policy is need
e. on both sides of the Atlantic. But
with cooperation results could be Sc
cured that. whilst giving Canada a
squirt forward. would at the same
time strengthen the British Empire
a a whole.

Better Feeling

In this connection. I was very
gratified to find how Canadian stock
had appreciated in the States in con
sequence Of the war. The valor and
loss Of the Canadian troops on
-roc5y 5attlefelds of Europe had
..,rly made an ineffaceable i'm
,.ression OF the American mind.
Americans talk of Canadians in 4
totally different strain to that which T
recall in 1899. There is note of
admiration and respect which was
srot conspicuous in those days.
On the other hand, strange as it
may seem. I was surprised to dis
cover thai Canadians themselves did
not seem to realize fully the
magnitude Of their achievement in
the great war Had they been dis
posed to exaggerate their contribution
to the victory, that would not have
surprised me so much. Every ma
ton naturally dwells on its own
triumphs. often to the exclusion Of
these achieved by other nations.
Too Much MOdesty
The fault Of Canada is in the on
rosite direction It errs from ex-
cessive mOdesty. What the second
hattie Of Ypres-the storming Of
V.my Ridge-the hurting back Of
Germans on Aug. s, 1918, and break
ing through of the Hindenburg line
meant to the allies-and to the world
is not fully comprehended by the
people whose gallant sons won those
decisive and epochal victories. 1t
may be that political or racial reasons
may have had something to do with
damping down the enthusiasm Of an
honorable pride. Whatever the reason.
that is what I found.
With all this remarkable advance
in Canadian prosperity and national
prestige and with all the infinite I'M
developed resources of Canada, 1 had
a feeling that the growth of popula-
ton was not what II might have been.
In 1901. the population was 5,371, 315.
Today 1t is between eight and nine
millions. The growth in wealth would
have justified a much larger growth
I'm population. What is the reason?
Has real effort been made and sus-
tanned to attract people from Europe
to this land of infinite promise? I
think it viii be conceded that more
might have been done had the4e been
no cross-currents to impede a policy
of encouragement for immigration.
For two or three years. the Mother
land has had an unemployed list rang
ing between 100000 and 100000
with the dependents this represents a
population OF 1000 900 TO 5000, 900 In

ROUNDING
ROUND
THEATERS

by WALTER D. HICKMAN
ri ONES the welcomed news from
| Broadway that Tom Powers,
L-~ remembered for his masterful
work in Mr.. PIN Passes By and
other Stuart Walker productions at
the Murat last summer, is now in an
assured hit, "Tarnish," by Gilbert
Emery. 1t is admitted by those who
follow the theater on Broadway that
this play is among the real hits. Ann
Harding is in the cast.
The word "burlesque" is no longer
term which must be whispered in
quiet terms. Burlesque is an ancient
form of entertainment In the last
FIVE years the modern big time revue
has not only been burlesque or trav-
esty in character but many Of the
actors in such revues got their start
in regular burlesque shows. Burlesque
must be clean, the book must be
bright and modern. The right kind
Of burlesque is good entertainment.
The trouble with some burlesque CO.
medians is that they cannot wake UP
to the demands of the audiences of
today. Burlesque needs new talent,
better books and smarter music. Real
burlesque is supported. The weak at
fractions nearly starve to death.

Gigantic schemes on Foot

Montreal. Toronto and Winnipeg
were full of gigantic schemes for the
development of trade equipment and

million dollar canal to carry the grain

cussion on change and in club. These
fine cities are dependent, Of course

of Canadian competition in wheat

alive with automobiles Of every size
and description; a single State in
America has on its register more mo
tor cars than the whole Of the United
Kingdom
But perhaps more than all, one has
a sense of the infinite resources Of
these gigantic territories. The vast
grain belt stretching for thousands
of miles from north to south anu for
hundreds from east to west, the cot
ton area Of the South, the garden land
Of California, Florida and southern
Canada; mineral resources unequaled
in any continent for richness and va
riety. Coal deposits in such abundance
that the bulk are untouched; navigable
waterways. rivers and lakes; water
power available for industry where
most needed; immense forests with
everywhere the suggestion Of unex-
plored treasure which, when revealed,
will exceed the vision of the Golden
City of mans dreams.
Population Enormous
As you think of all this, you viii
reckon upon a piece of paper what
the population Of the United States
will be when it equals that Of Eng
land per square mile and what the
population of Canada will be when
that great dominion is peOpled as
Scotland is today. The United States,
on the English scale, ought to main
tain a population of 500 100000, and
Canada. on the Scottish scale, pop
uIation OF 5000, 900. When you
think Of all this you cannot help feel
ing that. in visiting these regions, you
are making the acquaintance OF the
future This was the dominant feel
ing that possessed me as passed
through Canada and the United
States.
And first, as to Canada, I visited
Canada twenty-fOUr years ago and
was able, therefore, to note the prog
gress made since that period. 1 could
see it in the enormous strides made
by Montreal, Toronto and Winnipeg.
During that interval Of years they
have Ieaped forward in population, in
wealth and importance. Impressive
streets. made wide and lined with
attractive shops and immense offices;
noble public buildings-provinicaI,
municipal, educational and ecclesias-
tical-the miles of comfortable and
commodious residences, all betoken
a. well established and confident pros
perity. What struck me most OF all
in Canada and in the United States
was the number, and even more the
dimensions of projects for change and
ir,,,ro,-aD,An+ around these cities.
Where we are apt here to nlggle in
thousands, over there they plan IN
millions.
