# Published every Thureday by David Bean and Sone, Ltd. _ _Wateroo Chronicle On applicat office not later A further incentive to breeders to imm'nr the quality of their products so as to place ; them in a favorable position with the best of â€" the world is furnished in the erection of .i' $1,400,000 live stock exhibition building in‘ Exhibition Park, Toronto. Marking as it does , the birth of what was described as the finest structure of its kind on the American continâ€" ent, the event was one of paramount imporâ€" tance to Canada‘s basic industry. Both the Dominion and Provincial governments plrti-! cipated in providing funds for the building, initial steps towards the erection of which% were taken by the Canadian National Exhibiâ€" , tion and the Royal Winter Fair. | The Dominion Minister of Agriculture, Hon Mr. Motherwell, in commenting on the project said that they were laying the chief corner stone of the live stock industry itself which would stimulate agriculturists to furthâ€" er excellence. Particular reference was made to the fact that no live stock will be allowed to enter the building that have not first been subâ€" jected to a tuberculin test and declared free of disease. _ The erection of the building will tend to enhance still further the reputation Canada has for fine live stock the world over. The Dominion Department of Immigration is discouraging any further immigration of agricultural workers until the present supply of labor is absorbed. It would appear that the wet weather of the past three months has reâ€" tarded operations on western lands and the farmers have had to curtail operations with the result that they do not want additional help. Settlers in the west have consequently during the past few weeks been forced to turn to the cities for wot_'k. Labor bureaus in some of the western cities have been deluged with appliâ€" cants for work by newcomers. The market for common labor was swamped and this has led to curtailment of &mmigration for the time being. The situation will, it is anticipated, right itself in due course but the curtailment of imâ€" migration cannot but entail financial loss upon the transportation companies and immigration colonization organizations. A well known British writer, who within the last year or two has travelled from coast to coast in Canada, writing in the. Financial Post, states that after making careful enquirâ€" ies he has come to the conclusion that Canada is toâ€"day one of the richest countries in the world. Taking into consideration its vast unâ€" developed resources, especially of land, timber, minerals and fisheries, he believes it presents attractions to settlers and opportunities for profitable investment of capital probably unâ€" excelled. He was impressed with the abounding prosperity of Canada and the desire to secure more British capital to aid in its development. An experiment is being advocated in some sections of the United States for the purpose of extending to adults the advantages of educaâ€" tion of which they were deprived in their youth. It was agreed at a.recent convention of the leading educators of the nation that the education of adults is the surest means of progress in the nation.. It was also agreed that it is useless to teach new ideas to children if their parents do not accept them. Commenting on the formation of neighâ€" borhood study groups in some of the large American cities, one writer says: ‘"We started Cleveland College two years ago as an experiment in adult education. The first year we had 1,490 students and the second year 2456 were enrolled. More than half of them have had at least two years of college work, but were forced to quit for various reasons. When given the opportunity they were quick to pick it up.

Canadian citizen commuters not born in Canada, who have been employed in the U.S,A. previous to July 1, 1924, may conâ€" tinue to commute by paying head tax provided they have had residence qualifications in Canâ€" _ada as per the regulation. All these commuters ‘of nonâ€"Canadian birth employed in the U.S.A. subsequent to June 30, 1924, are automatically debarred from commuting and can enter the ]United States for employment only as permaâ€" nent residents and under the quotas of their irespective countries of birth. In many cases, some years will elapse before many of them can enter under the quota. +f There are at least 15,573 Canadian citizens ‘living in the Border Cities and commuting to work ‘in Detroit, as proven by United States immigration statistics. Of this number, 7,195 | were employed in Detroit previous to July, ‘1924, while 8,378 have found employment there | subsequent to that date. Of the total number, §9,333 are native Canadians and 6,240 are Canaâ€" ‘dian citizens of nonâ€"Canadian birth. Of the !;latter, 4,725 will be debarred as not being exâ€" 1empted under the regulation. Only 15/ of these commuters of nonâ€"Canadian bi ay continue to commute. The regulation, in short, ‘will involve an annual payment for visas and {head tax of approximately $250,000 for those ‘Canadian citizens who are now commuting at jthis one point alone, if the Act is rigidly enâ€" . forced. Representations have been made to the United States government through Mr. Massey, Canadian representative at Washington, which have called forth a statement from the United States authorities in which they express their desire to remove, as far as possible, cause for dissatisfaction on the part of Canadians. Efforts will no doubt continue to be made by the Canadian representative at Washington w th a view to modification of the regulation in question. According to the newly issued census reâ€" port nearly eighty per cent of Britain‘s populaâ€" tion lives in towns, about half of them in fortyâ€" six towns, each containing more than 100,000 persons. The agricultural statistics show a continued reduction in the area of arable land under cultivation. The figures indicates Briâ€" tain‘s diminishing rural population. + It is interesting to note that from 1919 to 1926 Great Britain has paid to the United States government on acount of war debts, the huge sum of $850,000,000, and during the same period has received from Germany under the Dawes plan, and from War Allies $200,000,000, leaving a net amount paid to the United States of $650,000,000. Britain has undertaken to pay about $160,000,000 annually to the United States for the next sixty years. A recent compilation shows that the birth rate in Canada is the highest in the world of the white races. Of the nine provinces of the Dominion, New Brunswick is the leader Wial a rate of 27.1 births per thousand, Saskatchewan is next with 24.7 per thousand. The distinction of having the lowest death rate in the world is claimed by Saskatchewan with 6.8 per 1,000 of the population.

M. Egan, former Windsor, Ont., lawyer, connected in evidence before the Royal Customs Commisâ€" sion with a soâ€"called "rat fund" colâ€" lected fmfin certain export brewerâ€" ies and liquor Aealers, should be prosecuted "good and ptenty" if the Canadian authorities can lay hands on him. This was the opinion expressed from the bench by Chief Commissioner J. T. Brown. The Chief Commissioner advocated this when Hon. N. W. Rowell, counsel, was making his submissions in reâ€" gard to prosecution for criminal ofâ€" fenses which, he claims certain of the . Ontario breweries appear to have committed. Commission counâ€" sel made the Egan matter the first in his submissions with regards to criminal offenses. On the evidence he asked that the Commission find that Egan, while an agent for the Attorneyâ€"General of Canada, accepâ€" ted money "to do or to refrain from doing" certain things. This constiâ€" tuted a very grave offense, and he felt that the persons who were a party to payments to Egan could not have been ignorant that they ; were violating the law.

Citizens Employed Across Border May Continue Employment Same as U.8. Citizens. Ample protection to all Canadians, whatever their birthplace, who have been in the habit of commuting across the international border to daily employment is asked of the United States in a note from the Canadian Government on June 8th. ‘The note is in reply to a recent note from the United States on border immigratia® regulations. | Nonâ€"Native Canadians. | The note aéks firmly that the iUnlted States recognize special ’rlghts to consideration of nonâ€" ‘native Canadian citizens who were kulreody established in employment in the United States before the orâ€" | der was issued, and suggests that ;slx months‘ being wholly inadequate Ito permit 4,000 to 6,000 Europeanâ€" ‘born Canadians to find places on ‘their respective quotas, the time | limit should be made to remove the ‘anxlety and uncertainty of these | Canadians. One of the most interesting parts of the note is the protest against application of the term "immigrant" to Canadians working across the border and domiciled in Canada. "This seems to > ~ departure from the ordinary meaning of the term and seems to give it a special sense of contradiction to its customary usage." The note stresses the priviâ€" leges enjoyed uninterruptedly by United States citizens entering Canâ€" ada. Hon. Vincent Massey, Canadian Minister, delivered the note to Frank B Kellogg, Secretary of State. Comâ€" ment from the State Department will be withheld until officials have considered the Canadian communi cation more fully. ‘The note approves the offer of Mr. Kellogg to continue negotiations on border immigration, and exâ€" presses the hope that a satisfactory settlement will be reached, but reâ€" grets that the United States Governâ€" ment did not see the way clear to amending the border ruling on April 1, which went into effect June 1, and which gives nonâ€"native Canadians Canadians six months in which to secure entry as immigrants under the new quota law. The note stresses the fact that for three years Canaâ€" dians living on the border and workâ€" ing across the line have been allowâ€" ed to suppose that they were exempt from the 1924 immigration law. oi t e t oi e a PROTECT CITIZENS ACROSS U. 8.
