TO CANADA.
TOO MANY PEOPLE ARRIVING. [per press association.] Auckland, March 30. A news Editor of the Toronto Globe, writing to a member of the staff 'of the Auckland Star, says: " I rather fancy you do not know the conditions in Canada at the present time. We have had a huge wave of immigration that has quite swamped the capacity of the country. It will take some time to absorb the half-million we have received within the last two years. The bulE 'of these people are English, and quite .too many of themi W am sorry to say, are from East London. Our readers are giving dinners every day to something like 3,700 immigrants recently arrived, a fund of almost £4000 having been provided by our readers, for that, purpose."
