CANADIANS INMIGRAvTS

Our highly restrictive immigration law is working
to advantage of Canada. At least that is the way
Canada looks at the matter. The dominion wants
population and immigrants excluded from this coun
try turning thither
There has been a remarkable stimulus to Cana
dian immigration in the last few months Immigrants
from Great Britain have increased onethrd and those
from other countries excepting the United States have
nearly doubled. There is decrease from this country
The gain, however, is really offset by the steady
stream Of Canadians pouring into the states They
are coming at the rate of 10000 month, which is more
than all of Canadas European immigrants put togeth
er Even if, as Canadian figures indicate, there are
4CO0 former Canadians returning every month from
this country, Canada to show net immigration
loss as a result of the drain to the states.
Thus there is double loss to the dominion, along
with sort of double gain to this country. The new
immigrants in Canada mostly Of good stock, and
are welcome addition to the population but still it
takes time and effort to get them adjusted to Canadian
life The transition from Europe to Canada is more
difficult than the transition from Canada to the Unit
ed States Canadians the most easily assmllated
of all foreigners who come here, and the most wei
come Canada seems to be fitting immigrants for TINS
country And with true lberaty, she is giving US
more of them than receive from all the other ma
tions together.

REPUBLICAN, TICKET
MEXICO IN THE LEAGUE

President-eeet Gales of Mexico, succeeding Presi-
dent Obregon, is going to ask membership for his
country in the League of Nations He announces that
Mexico is sufficiently recovered to justify such step,
that she wants association with the halfhundred ma
tons already in the league, and that she will enter
as selfrespecting and enlightened nation ready to
play her part with the Others
This attitude seems justified by the progress Mex
leo has made under the wise administration of Gen.
Oregon 1t is not conceivable that the league after
admitting nearly all the other states of South and Cen
tral America, viii be disposed to balk at Mexico,
grown peaceful orderly and progressive and meeting
her foreign obligations.
Citizens of the United States who have nothing to
say about the matter may feel at least like congratu
lating Mexico the respectful recognition that such
membership would imply, after her dark years of
revolution disorder and foreign contempt At the
time this sturdy neighbor swings to the league

ished Monroe Doctrine.

WOOD POINTS OUT
RESULT If NO. 5
PROPOSITION WINS

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Oct. 21-
Overthrow of all veterans welfare
legislation enacted IN California
will be tho aut omatic result, of the
adoption of proposition No. ) on
the November ballot, according to
declaration made here by Will
c. Wood state superintendent of
public instruction.
An unintentional oversight on the
part of thn committee which dre-t
the amendment, as well as on the
part of both houses of the legis-
nature. is the cause of the defects
Of the propos I legislation, which,
il adopted would wipe out the
entire veterans welfare aid pro
gram, Wood announced.
The committee which drew tho
proposition that seeks to amend
section 81 article four of the state
constitution overlooked amendment
of thu same section, voted hy the
people in 1922 to provide for vet
Grams welfare aid, an investigation
shows. In this way they failed
to carry over the constitutional
provision authorizing veterans aid,
so that now that whole program is
boing threatened.
With the adoption of proposition
five, which provides for the trans
fer of surplus county funds from
one account to another during the
season of low funds, the $10,0U0,0 600
bond issue passed in 1920 and the
So 100000 revolving fund act will
be rendered unconstitutional, Wood
points out.
1.-THE veterans welfare act and
all other veterans welfare legisla-
tion must be proved and protected, y
Wood declared today. 81 urge all
voters to vote no on proposition
five at the coming election. L shall
/ notify ali school officials at once,
urging them to give publicity to
| ths situation and the need for q
negative vote
! Only two weeks before the No
vember election remains to enlight-
en- voters on the proposition, Wood
said. In that time a campaign will
be made against the legislation.
