SUCCESS OF POLICY.
(British Official Wireless.) (Received 11.30 a.m.)
RUGBY, October 23.
The immigration movement to Canada from the British Isles is showing growth according to Mr. Egan, deputy-Minister of Immigration and Colonisation of the Canadian Government, who has arrived in London. He says that British immigration to Canada for the first four months of the present year was 41,054, as compared with 27,982 in the corresponding period last year. That is an increase of 47 per cent. This is in accordance with the Canadian policy of encouraging British immigration, and the fact that Canada is taking more British immigrants than any other country in the world, is evidence of the success of that policy.
