The officials recluiting miners and others for Canadian harvest work
had to close their lists when 25,000 applica- tions had been received. So the success of the vent-ire is only qualified by regret that it should be of such obvious benefit to so Many to quit this country just now, and only' limited by the nunibers that the ships can carry. , We look to them to confirm the Prime Minister's assertions, made during his visit, that the worker from the Old Country is not a decadent creature, enfeebled by " doles ". and dependent upon a " State " sinking into Socialism rather than upon his own exertions. We believe that he can prove himself worthy, but it entails an adaptability to strange conditions and time to realize that they are better conditions if he will use them well. We heartily wish him bon voyage.
