Immigration.

"If any problem in Canada has been treated in a way it should not have been treated. it ls the problem of immigration. They are spending millions of dollars, on bringing Immigrants into Canada and they are going out oi Canada just about as isst es we can get them. Why? There is’ nothing hare ior them to do.

"To my mind the one main solu- tlon of the problem is to get the Industries In Canada and the work for the people. Then you will find no difficulty in getting Immigrants.

"I gave an Instance the other night of how our Industries are closing down, in referring to the glass works at Hamilton. Qntario, which were established In 1918 at s cost of millions of dollars. They simply had to close down because they were not properly protected. That industry employed s large number of people. According to the Toronto Globe, 300 workmen have been leaving Hamilton every month.

"So far as Prince Edward Island is concerned. we have got vary little in the matter cf emigration We have vacant farms that would now he taken up by people from abroad, it lt were not for the fact that If they came here they might suffer the same fate as some ot- hers who came. and had to go to the States.

“Under this system. It is simply a waste of money. Even now, II we save the honor of the Island and of Canada. We are liable to pay here a sum of $17000 ior emi- grstlon." (Loud slid prolonged applause.)

“l want to ask Mr. Sinclair this: Why didn't he. as a Cabinet Min- ister. knowing that the responsibl- ‘ity was upon either the local Gov- ernment or the Dominion Govern- ment. have his Government pay those men that $17,000 and have this matter hushed up‘!

“What did Hon. P. C. Larkln. High Commissioner In London. so pointed by the Liberal Govern- ment. have to say about It? Mr. Lerkln said that the man who was responsible for Andrew Fraser Mitchell's appointment is the man who is responsible for the pay- ment of those men who were de- frsuded." (Applause, and cries oi “Sure.")

"Tile Judges who tried the cssc In the Old Country say that either one Government or the other I.- responsible. I will leave it with you, ladies and gentlemen. as to who is the moot responsible party."

“After Mr. Sinclair was notified that this man was crooked. he did not even tell Mr. Bell. iis says he came to town and Mr. lBell was ‘iusy running an election. But dur- ing the six or sight weeks that the Bell Government remained In power after the election Mr. Bell was never toiid; and that was the time the harm was done. And that harm might have been prevented." Hon. Dr. McMillan then discuss- ed railway matters. pointing out that last year the Government car- fieii on with 9.000 less employees than before but at the some time Increased expenses $500,000.
