Addressing the Trades and Labour Congress of Canada, the Federal Minister of Labour, Mr. Peter Heerian, alleged that a well-thought-out campaign. was being conducted in Britain to stampede the Canadian Government into bringing British unemployed to Canada by the shipload. He asserted that the propaganda was motivated by the desire of certain interests in the Old Country to solve a political problem, and encouraged by persons ia Canada who wanted to flood the labour market. "It is a lie," he declared, "to say that the British unemployed do not want to ,rork, and that they; are content to subsist on the dole.' Theywant to work and so the false repbrti of lots of work and high wages in.Canada are eagerly received."
