CHANGED LOYALTY.
EXPECTED OF IMMIGRANTS. In an address at the Millions Club, at Sydney. Dr. David Lang, who is on a visit from Canada, said that both Australia and Canada needed larger populations, and both countries should encourage immigration, not only from Britain, hilt from other countries. It was essential, however, that immigrants should be prepared to relinquish their loyalty to the lnnd of their birth, and adopt' the land in which they settle as their own.
In Canada,, he said, only 51 per cent, of the total population were of British stock. The remainder comprised 29 per cent. French Canadians, and 20 per cent, of a mixture of 40 different nationalities, but all were pleased to profess themselves Canadians.
