MUST BE LOWERED
BARRIERS TO IMMIGRATION INTERESTS OF WORLD PEACE [United Press Association—By Electrio Telesr.'lpli -Copyri(thtl CLEVELAND, 13th November. The former Prime Minister of Canada. the Rt. Hon. Arthur Mcighan, in an address declared that the barriers to immigration must be lowered for the sake of world peace. "We arc a people possessing the world’s richest and widest territories, comparatively thinly populated. Wc can hardly expect the world to remain at peace if wc stand on our own shores and forbid all others to come. There is a lot to be said for this policy from our own immediate standpoint, but I believe it cannot be continued compatible with our expectations of peace.” He was opposed, however, to a return of German colonies, these being essential to the British Empire’s security. “especially since Britain is now no longer, in the sense that she was, mistress of the seas.”
