TELEPHONE 24 331 Private branch eichanje connecting all departments FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1928 'reasons ron ixquiky In ioma quarters at Ottawa the Idea prevails that the only business for an Immigration committee to investigate Is the question of special permits improperly issued by members of parliament. On the contrary, this is a mere side issue, and not an important one at that. After all, these were permits to get people Into the country. The special business of an Inquiry committee should be to discover what ts keeping people, particularly British people, out. Another Immigration season opens up next month.

The prospect now is that British Immigration will be much less than last year. The London Times' estimate Is that it will be reduced by SO to SO percent. Yet the policy announced by Mr. Forke, the minister in charge, was to let down the bars and make conditions such that British Immigration would be a much larger percentage of the whole. The Times' estimate is based on information supplied by organizations interested In promoting British immigration to Canada.

It refers to only one handicap upon such immigration, namely the fact that all Intending emigrants must now be examined by Canadian doctors in England. There are 18 of these doctors, whereas 'formerly the work was done by 1,500 English doctors. There was no substantial complaint that the work was not efficiently done, but for its own purposes the department made the change. The result is grave doubt In the Old Country as to whether even 50 percent of last year's total immigration will be secured this year, Just on the point of the difficulties of obtaining medical examination. In theory sending a staff of Canadian doctors over to England sounds well enough.

In practice, according to the authorities, it will not work out. The people who might be induced to emigrate will not go considerable distances and be examined by a strange doctor at Inconvenient seasons. Moreover, the number of examiners is too limited. Examining 20 persons each day, which is close to the maximum, It would take the 18 doctors six months to pass on the number of settlers who emigrated Inst year, and by the time a third of them had been exnmincd the available jobs would all be taken by European immigrants who come in large numbers in March and April. Even this great handicap is only one of several still placed orl British Immigration, despite Mr.

Forke'g announcement The recognized agencies for placing settlers in Canada are now few in number unnecessarily restricted, when it Is considered that among the agencies not permitted -to operate are such organizations as the Salvation Army. But even the few recognized agencies feel themselves constantly hampered by an unsympathetic attitude on the rart of the officials of the department at Ottawa, and by vague and unsatisfactory regulations proceeding from It. Just what is the trouble with the immigration department no one seems to know. It may be red tape. It may be over-conscientiousness.

Whatever it Is, there are handicaps on immigration and particularly British immigration that are wholly unnecessary. A thorough inquiry, to get at the real source of trouble, would serve the rational Interest in a matter of the highest importance. Maybe the winning ways of the new Minister of Telephones will induce the telephone fplks to tell the time o' day. MALCOLM HIGH MACLEOD The West will long remember the name of Malcolm. Hugh MacLeod, dead in Toronto at.

the age of 70. For 20 years he was building railway lines in tiie West, first for the Cunadlan Pacific Railway, and later for the Canadian Northern Railway. With the latter system he wn general manager and chief engineer. In that capacity it was his job to build main and branch lints all over the West 3,800 miles under his supervision. The old Canadian Northern was playing for big stnkes.

Two things were important where the lines tvere to go. and that they were constructed. How they were constructed was a matter of lesser moment. The appropriations were far from adequate. If money was voted for 200 miles of track, it was Mr.

MacLeod's job to string it out 400 miles if he could, and he usually did. The result was that the Canadian Northern captured some fine territory, opened it up for settlement and bad a strong, profitable system of branch lines, but on these lines freight and passenger trains operated by the grace of heaven and good weather. Travelling by buckboard was smooth and pleasant by comparison with some of the C.N.R. branches In the early days of the railway's history, but the territory was opened up whole empires of it and the C.N.R was profitable as long as it confined its operations to the West. The mainstay of the Canadian National system loday Is the strong, profitable system of Western branch lines, now reasonably ballasted ana well maintained, but first constructed by spiking light rails to wooden ties laid on top of the flat prairie land.

Mr. MacLeod, an able man and an engineer of high standing, played bis part in building vp the Weft. THE WINNIPEG EVENING TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 192S 13 ILLOGICAL MR. BOLTIASSA Mr. Henri Bourassa has a wonderful capacity for scenting trouble afar off.

At the present time he professes to see grave danger to the present happy relationship between Great Britain and Canada If we let down the Immigration barriers against radicals from England. "We should beware," he advises his associates In parliament, "how we open our doors to anyone who might come from England with hearts full of hatred against British Institutions. Mr. Bourassa particularly excells In that type of pseudo-serious humor uttered with the tongue In the check. He takes special delight In saying things that fall with a sense of shock upon the ears of his hearers.

With a Barnum-like belief in the general gullibility of mankind the more astonishing his statements the more he expects them to be taken seriously. It is a straw man that Mr. Bourassa is erecting. Nobody knows better than himself the difference between a radical and a revolutionary. The radicals in Britain have no hatred for British institutions.

It Is because they have such faith in those Institutions that they repudiate all forms of political extremism. They are disciples neither of Lenin nor Mussolini. There are many radicals in Britain, there always have been, and there always will be. The British Institutions, for the continuance of which Mr. Bourassa is so concerned, were built up on radicalism and the love of freedom which is the first cousin of radicalism from the time of the Magna Carta onwards.

British parliamentary institutions, the bene-' fits of which Mr. Bourassa is privileged to enjoy, were bought in the past with radical blood. Cromwell and his Ironsides did not live for nothing. After the Restoration Judge Jeffreys did his best to rid the country of radicals, but as fast as they were hanged or deported others sprang up to take their place and win for their country one of the finest of all British institutions, the Bill of Rights with its two fundamental principles, feedoin of religious beliefs and no taxation without representation. Mr.

Bourassa has placed himself In the illogical position of professing admiration for British institutions and heaping condemnation on the type of men who gave those institutions life.

WAR OV Kl'HMAIMNES Official inquiry into the loss of the United States submarine S-4 has rekindled interest in many countries in the fight against the retention of the submarine as a weapon of war. Commenting recency on the loss since the war of 432 sailors' lives in the Erltlsh, United States and Japanese navies alone, due to the submarine, the Chairman of Lloyd's said: "The cables which reach Lloyd's every hour remind us that the inescapable sea perils are formidable enough; but in the submarine we have an ingenious contrivance by which nations seek mutual destruction in war, but which also deals out death in time of peace.

All the great maritime nations have suffered heart breaking losses by this deadly machine, which treacherously destroys those in charge, and inflicts slow torture as well as death. Would it not be opportune to revive the Washington Conference proposal for the abolition of this deadly instrument of destruction?" Such a statement coming from such a source should commend itself to all nations. But even from the purely naval viewpoint, says Mr. Archibald Hurd, a recognized British authority on naval affairs, the submarine stands condemned. It, is a weapon relatively ineffective against modern war vessels, he asserts; it is Incapable of seriously interfering with naval manoeuvres in open water; and that as an instrument of blockade it has not lived up to expectations.

Used as a pirate ship by the Germans it not only brought no victory but embroiled that intry with every neutral power. The submarine Is costly to build and maintain; it is difficult and dangerous to handle, and it becomes obsolete rapidly. It stands alone and apart because it can never be made to serve the useful purposes of civilization as the airship and airplane is serving them. What logical argument remains for the continued building of submarines? In time of war the great majority of its victims are non- combatants, and in peace it places the lives of Us crew in constant jeopardy. It is the pailah of the seas, and it should be driven off by unanimous consent of the civilized powers of the world.

Another instance of the mistaken theory that the end justifies the means. Short Reign of a Premier LNCE Manitoba's entry "into Confederation, the shortest-lived cabinet was that presided over by the late Dr.

D. H. Harrison. On Dec. 22, 1887, the new premier took over the reins of office from the late Premier John Norquay, and on Jan.

19, 18S8, a little more than three weeks of stornvy experiences, Dr. Harrison and his colleagues resigned, and the Hon. Thomas Greenway formed a government the members of which Included Hon. Joseph Martin, attorney-general and commissioner of railways; Hon. James A.

Smart, commissioner of public works; Hon. (later Sir) Lyman M. Jones, provincial treasurer, and Hon. J. E.

P. Prendergast provincial secretary. The Norquay, Harrison and Greenway governments lived and died in real stirring days. Norquay battled with Ottawa to establish Manitoba's right to charter railways. The nrovincewas a unit on the question of anti-disallowance a protest against the seldom used prerogative Dr.

Harrison of the Ottawa cauinci to disallow provincial legislation dealing with provincial matters. The Conservative Association of Winnipeg sent a resolution to Sir John A. Macdonald declaring that "the time has passed when mere personal or political friendship, or party sentiment, can cover or smother the real state of public feeling in Manitoba and the Northwest in respect to the power (assumed or otherwise), exercised by the governor-gcneral-in-council, of disallowing railway char ters granted by the legislature of Manitoba. We declare that we will not submit to struggle any longer urder the burden that is crushing the country to death." It was in the midst of many adverse circumstances, and not because of any personal weakness, that Norquay went down, and Dr. Harrison, then a member of the Norquay administration, came into the premiership.

Dr. Harrison, as I remember him, was a powerful debater, and a man of sturdy physical as well as mental power. Like the first mayor of Winnipeg. Francis E. Cornish, he rame from London, Ont, his birthplace.

His father was a native of Yorkshire, and his mother came of Irish antecedents. She was the first white child born in the township of London, and her mother was the first white woman buried there. Dr. Harrison's father was one of the earliest settlers of the North of London. The future premier graduated in medicine from McGlll University in 1864.

He practiced in Ft. Mary's for several years, finally engaging in the flax business, until leaving for Manitoba in 1881. Here he took up ranching, and entered upon a political career, which ended In 1888, when be retired and refused all public honors from that year until he died. He opened a banking business at Neepawa, and that with large farming interests, took up his full attention. Dr.

Harrison's interest in the Presbyterian Church and in the Masonic Order waa very marked and continued to the end. DR. EDWARDS' MOTION The Dr. Edwards' motion is to be made in the House of Commons less with the object of securing the return Of the natural resources to Alberta than to force discussion in parliament of the school clause contained in the agreement, thinks the Calgary Herald. This province has no desire to have Ill-will between Protestants and Catholics founded on public debate of this school clause.

The school situation here will not be affected by the judgment of the Supremo Court nor by that of the Privy Council, if the- latter body hears the case that has been presented to it. The province will go along, in respect of school matters, as It has done in the past and the past has been nothing but amicable. There is no school question in Alberta. The talk of one has come from Ontario and Quebec' Alberta prefers to secure its natural resources by its own negotiations with the Dominion government and with no ill-feeling between those of different religious beliefs in this province.

In rural areas, the density of population in non-Anglo-Saxon districts is greater than in Anglo-Saxon districts. Among tho most successful of the immigrant peoples are the Scandinavians. Tho Scandinavian is to be found in almost every community in Manitoba. The chief Scandinavian settlements are along the shores of Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipeg, in the district between lialdur and Glenboro, and on the southern slopes of the Riding Mountains. For more than 200 years there has been Intermarriage of whites and Indians.

A Funny Salad Bowl i' sounds as If it might have happened. "I was once travelling to an out-of-the-way part of Wales, the town of which bore an outlandish name. When at Pnddington I found only one other occupant of my compartment, and this time I was a first-class passenger. Not a word did my companion utter till we reached Worcester (I think it was), when we both alighted and changed into an other train, but found ourselves again alone in a compartment.

Two more hours rolled by. Not a word. And the more I regarded him the more unapproachable he seemed. We then changed again, and this time we found ourselves on a mono-rnll, and there was only one tiny first-class apartment provided.

Why, lie's to crooked that tven the wool he pulls over ytur eye it half cotton," The Passing Show, -i An Object Lesson By C. B. PYPER EST of the business section of Winnipeg, at the corner of Notre Dame and Myrtle, there is a little grpup of buildings, made of wood, faced with tin, looking out on vacant, snow-covered lots. They are low and ramshackle and straggling, not much to look at from the outside; but inside there is a cheerful noise of hammering and planing, and the fresh, clean smell of new paint and shavings, and an atmosphere of happy Industry. Stacked In piles In the various rooms are the articles turned outstep ladders, tables, clothes horses.

stands for washtubs, Ironing boards, magazine racks rocking horses, children's desks and chairs, and the wooden end pieces of davenport couches. They are all useful articles, strong, well-made and neatly finished and all with a definite market value. The men who make them are I men who have been classed as un employable, and who are, In fact, unemployable by private aims in the ordinary course of competitive business. They are veterans of tho World War, unfitted by disability to get and retain ordinary Jobs. Left to themselves, they would have been useless and lost, producing nothing, living miserably and hopelessly on their small pensions.

Here, In the Veteraft shops, they have been salvaged, trained to work that they can do, and are actually producing not trinkets, to be bought for charity's sake but solid, saleable articles or everyday use. There are some 35 of them, under a foreman. I saw them In their shops this week, all apparently happy and contented, and all taking an obvious pride In their work. Mere was a man rounding off an Ironing board, there another was guiding a plank against the teeth of a circular saw; one was turning the legs of a child's chair, another dipping the finished chair In a bath of paint, a third nailing together a serviceable stand for books and magazines. Everyone waa Intent on his Job.

There is a steady market for their work, which Is sold In the large stores of the city. The men themselves, once, discouraged by long periods of helplessness in hqs-pltal, have a new hope and a new Interest In life. Many graduate to regular employment, which Is the aim of their training, wherever possible. All are producing reliable Made-ln-Manltoha articles, which otherwise would have to be Imported, and all are contributing to their own support. They have all been trained tn the shops.

In the spring, many of them will be turned to the making of the Veteraft popples and wreaths which For Today I Pn.m tho Authorlard Varaionl And the disciples came, and laid unto him, why ipeakest thou unto them In parables?

For this people's heart Is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

TWO-SIDED QUESTIONS In John Stuart Mill's Essay on Liberty Is to be found these words: "The greatest orator, save one of nutiqtiity, has left it on record that he always studied his adversary's case with as fireal. if not still greater, intensity than even his own.

"What. Cicero practised as the mesns of forensic success, requires to be hui'Hted by all who study any subject in order to arrive the truth. He v.ho knows only his own side of the ca.c. knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.

They have their own organization and present suggestions and requests to the officer in charge, who is the unit director of administration of the Department of Soldleis Civil Re-eatnhllnhmcnt. a a The shops are operaled at a loe or, rather, at a profit and loss. Tha loss Is In the difference between expenses and the returns fur the work; the profit in the fact that it would cost much more to car for them by the relief system, tr say nothing of the benefit in (he knowledge of their usefulness. Here Is the other side of the ledger. There are soma 300 other men.

suffering from war disability, for whom there is as yet no provision in the shops, and who are tn receipt of relief from the department. The relief taken the form of orders for food, fuel, rent and clothes, which arc used by the men and returned to the department for payment. There Is no compensation in this ease, either In useful article produced or In encouragement to the men. And that Is the main thing-the hope and encouragement given the men. There is all the difference In the world between a man working happily at his bench, doing his dally Job and knowing he Is still of some use In the world, and a man waiting at the door of an officii for a dole In the way of food anJ lodging.

It would seem to be worth while to extend the undertaking, to enlarge. the shops so as to accommodate all the men now needing relief, to widen the scheme of the work so as to lake In the manufacture of other articles of simple de sign, such as toys, which are now brought from abroad. What Is being done at present is at once a revelation and an object lesson. a a a It Is an object lesson of what may be done, not only in the case of the unemployable returned soldier, but in tho case of the employable unemployed. The system of the Veteraft shops could not be applied to unemployed men who are fit for any kind of work and who have no vpeelsl claims on the community, but It shows that It is possible, when necessary, to devise scheme of work that will provide some return and will be better than soul-destroying doles.

Vomorrozu NOTRE DAME DE LOU ROES February 11, 1S58, Berim-dette Soiihlrous, a weakly, 14-year-old peasant girl of Lonrdes, southern France, was, with her sister and another girl, gathering firewood near "The Grotto of the Old Rocks." Bernadette's two companions hart preceded her a few steps, when, glancing backward, they saw her on ber knees In the attitude of prayer, with her gaze fixed intentjy on the Interior of the cave. Bernadette had heard a sound as of a sudden gust of wind from the cave. Turning her head quickly, she saw that a woman of surpassing beauty stood at the entrance, surrounded by an aureole of Ineffable brightness. The girl tried to maka the sign of the cross, but failed. The Vision smiled and made the mystia passes hrself.

Then the girl waa able to do the same, and even as she. was uttering the last words of the Hall Mury the vision disappeared, a a a Returning to the spot, Bernadette saw the vision each day for fifteen days. Her relatives and neighbors went with her to the spot, and although they could not themselves see the vision they noted that Bernadette was so lost in ecstasy that she seemed not to feel the flame of a tuirnlng candle. The village priest was incredulous until a stream of water started to flow from the cave. The civil and ecclesiastical authorities fenced the place off with a strong palisade, and posted notices warning the excited peasants to commit no trespass.

The prefect of police ordered Rernsdette to be confined to a madhouse, but this was avoided by her friends, who placed her under conventual guardianship. Finally the story of tho apparitions was carried to Napoleon III, who ordered Bernadette released and commanded tho prefect to allow free access to the grotto.
