More Immigrants
(To the Editor.) Sir, —In your leading -article of March 5 you advocate five millions more immigrants to help lighten our enormous debt burdens; but it would r,ot be so under our present system for the following reasons: (1) Wo have thousands unemployed to-day; (2) wo have no progressive policy to find work for them or the extra five millions; (3) we would need more relief depots; (4) decreasing the purchasing poweT in order to help the extra five millions out of work; (5) increased taxation for charitable aid.—l am, etc., A. SUMMERS. Makerua, Shannon.
