HIGH COMMISSIONER'S OPINION. ALARMISTS REPORTS ARE GROUNDLESS.
LONDON, 20th December. Lord Slrathcona, High Commissioner for Canada, interviewed on tho subjectof industrial conditions in the Dominion, said that no one needing workshould emigrato until the spring. He pointed out that several factories in Ontario have lately decreased their output, rendering idlo a large number of hands. The classes affected were chiefly those sent out by charitable institutions. v Alarmist reports, Lord Strathcona said, were groundless, though lie admitted that conditions of labour and business in Canada were less brisk aow than they were in 1906. The great movement of population is from Great Britain to Canada, although there has during recent years been a human swarming from the crowded hives of the Old World into the wider and freer and richer land. One of tho mo3t remarkable features of what Ins been described as a real world movement has been the great human tide which continues to flow northwards from the United States.
