Canada is Replacing U.S. As Mecca For Irishmen

By KEN METIIERAL Canadian Press staff Writer DUBLIN (CPD-Canada is re- placing th United Statesas the mecca of reland's migrating thou- sands. .

"There has been a marked swing towards Canada in the post-war years." says Dr. Patrick Mc- Carthy. assistant director of the republic's central statistical bur- eau. "At one time almost all the transatlantic emigration now was to the United States. Now the majority are going to Canada."

Briant Farrell, appointments of- ficer of University College. Dub- lln, who assists graduates to find work both inside and outside the republic. says Canada holds "by far the greatest attraction" for graduates from both University College and Dublin University.

Farrell estimates that two of every three doctors. scientists. on- gineers, teachers. architacts and lawyers turned out by the repub- iic's two premier universities be- conie emigrants.

HEAD FOR CANADA

"The majority leave for Britain because it is easier to get there. but well over 50 per cent express a desire to go to Canada.”

J. R. liudson. Farrell's opposite number at Dublin University. says a "considerable number" of grad- uates taks work in Britain for two or three years to save enough

Relations With U. S. Difficult

HALIFAX (CP) - External Af- fairs Minister Pearson said Fri- day the most diiflcul tproblem Cn- nada has to face from day to day is relations with the United States.

-"No country has a better big neighbor than Canada has but in our day day work two-thirds oi our prob ems concern Canadian- U.8. issues. These problems cover common defence; econ ,. and we are very conscious of those. population and other problems of CW?! kind."

Mr. Pearson spoke to a group of students at St. Mary's Univers- ity College.

lie cautioned the students not to get too alarmed about Canada shptng her own destiny as noth- ing was going to prevent Canada continuing as a great nation on her

own right. "We can't build without friends which means collective action." - said. "Our independence is linked with interdependence with otifers." '

money to emigrate to Canada.

Each day scores of Irishmen, many accompanied by their Wivel and children. pass through dark green door at 61 Lower Bag- got Street in Dublin. On the door is a small brass plate bearing the words--in both English and Gae- lic-"Canadian embassy, visa sec- tion." .

in Ireland emigration is a touchy political subject for the Irish are understandably alarmed at the re public's unenviable reputation of being the only country in the world whtse population is decreasing. As a result, Canadian immigration of- ficials are reticent about discuss- ing the ” . ” being received for visas.

Jim Bannon of Toronto. head of the visa section. and his assistant. Ray Madore of Edmonton. will only admit that the flow of appli- cants ”is much heavier than we have ever cxpcrienced before." EARLY OPENING-

To avoid hurting touchy lrlsh fcclings. the office janitor reports an hour early to open the door so prospective emigrants can wait in- side the building instead of queue- ing on the sidewalk outside. At a conservative estimate. some all) persons visit the office every day. but the actual number ofpemigrants

leaving for Canada probably is limited to about 800 a month.

"We give all the guidance and

"W help we possibly can to people who

visit the office. but we are not making any effort to promote im- migration." says Bannon. "We don't need to. We are getting more applicants than we can handle."

Canadian officials say a high proportion of emigrants are pro- fessional men or skilled craftsmen. And many have relatives living in Canada. A typical case is that of Thomas 0'lidalley, a skilled cab- inet maker who is hoping to settle in Vancouver with his wife. Eileen. and five children. They chose Van- couver h Mrs. 0'Maliey's brother. John Kelly. lives there.

"We've been planning this move for along time and saving up money so we could get to Can- ada." says Mrs. O'Malley. .

Mrs. Marjory Butler, mother of five boys aged 4 to 14, said she believes her children would have more opportunity in Canada. Her husband William is a printer. Mrs. Butler also has a brother in Can- ada-Robert Thompson. an engin- eer at Edmonton.

Last year about 50,000 persons emigrated from Ireland and indi- cations are that at least the same number will leave in l957.

I Shipping Opens At Montreal

MONTREAL (CPI -- With Mont- real's harbor a blaze of lights, the British freighter Manchester Mar- iner made a tricky night docking to open the 1957 navigation sea- son lnto the world's largest inland port.

At this point. he and officials of his line in Montreal had to make a decision-to go on to Montreal and a night berthing or to wait until morning. Observers said forecasts of snow - which could disrupt river navigation for sev- eral days-may have influenced the decision.

ALL LIGHTS ABLAZE

When it was decided to press on to Montreal. harbor master Capt. Joseph Dufour ordered all share lights switched on. and had spe- cial scarchlights installed at the Mariner's bcrth.

The ship was brightly lit. too. as she pulled into harbor to be greeted by port officials. and a large crowd of newspaper men

and television cameramen.

External Affairs Minister Pear- son said Mr. Norman had been deeply and Imdersteadahly Gillie!- sed by the resurrection "by one or two persons in Vlaahlxton of cer- tain old chargea lllectllll I138 10V- alty and which were disposed of years ago ate: a careful investi- gation."

”MURDERID BY ILANDEI"

Opposition Leader Diefenbaker said Mr. Norman was the ”vlc- tim of witch-hunting proclivities."

Alistair Stewart. CCF spoken- man. said Mr. Norman was "mur- dered by slander."

when the Commons convened at 11 a.m. EST it had become general knowledge that Mr. Nor- man had jumped from a seventh- ptorey window in Cairo to end his ife. ' The business of the Commons went on in routine fashion until Mr. Stewart rose to ask during the question period:

”Has the minister any comment! to make on the tragic event which took place today In Cairo?" FEELING 0! PEIBBCUTION

The Commons was hushed when lilr. Pearson rose to repeat a statement he had issued to the Dress about an hour earlier:

"For 13 years Mr. Barhert Nor- man served his country as an offi- cial of the department of external affairs with loyalty, devotion and ability. uring that time all his actions served only to confirm and strengthen my faith in and my admiration for him.

"During recent critical months in the Middle East, he has been working-or. rather. over-working -under great pressure. at Cairo at times right around the clock.

”He has also been deeply and understandably distressed by the resurrection by one or two per- sons in Washington of certain old charges affecting his loyalty. and which were disposed of years ago after a careful investigation. The reasons for these renewed attacks might be obscure, but the tactics used degraded only those who adopted them.

"The combined effect of over- work. overstrain and the feeling of renewed persecution on a sensi- tive mind and a not very robust body pa0dUCCd a nervous collapse. the tragic result of which has brought to me personally and. I am sure. to his colleagues and friends. both shock and grief and a sense of great loss.

"My deep and heartfelt sympa- thy goes out to his widow and to his family at this dark hour."

When the U.S. Senate sub - com- mittee charges were ralsed in the Commons March 15 Mr. Pearson

Thumday. Mr. Diefenbaker said:

iwholly desirable as is the ob- lE0llVe of preserving freedom, freedom will not be preserved by adopting the techniques and in- struments of communism.

"I think all of us in this House cannot but feel a sense of deep sorrow that this man's good name was filched from him "by in. dist.-riminately branding him as an 'n9mY- "Yin! him by suspicion and. in the public mind to a great extent. convicting him by inn... endo.

''I think every member of this House will agree that the terrible results in the lives of those who are subject to such indiscriminate attacks as were made on this man: cannot but lead each of us to de. termine that we shall not our. selves engage in words which can only destroy the heart and soul of those who are attacked.

"This man was a devoted pub-, lic servant; he is a victimy of witch-hunting procllvities. i

In harsh voice. Mr. Stewart, CCF member for Winnipeg North, sad:

"I think it is obvious lilr. Nor. man was murdered by slander.

"I believe he died as surely as if somebody had put a knife into his back and those who are re-j sponslble unhappily are above the- law." -
