EXCLUSION POLICY
THE BRITISH EMPIRE ' DANGER TO WORLD PEACE NEW YOBK, Nov. 14 , In the course of an address at Cleveland, Ohio, Mr. Arthur Meighen, formerly Minister of Canada, said: "The barriers against immigration must bo lowered for tho sake of world peace. , "We are a people," snid Mr. Meighen, "possessing tho world's richest and widest territories, yet wo are comparatively thinly populated." "We can hardly expect the world to remain at peace if we stand on our own shores and forbid all others to come to them. Thero is a lot to bo said'for this policy from our own immediate standpoint, but I believe it cannot continue ;and be compatible with expectations of peace."
Mr. Meighen is opposed, however, to the return of tho German colonies, these being essential to the British Empire's security, "especially since Britain is now no longer mistress of the seas in the senso that she was."
