London Statist Is Disappointed Because Canada Keeps
Them Out.

------------------Declares Canadians Themselves Are Intruders in the
Country.

London, June 13.—Today’s Statist edited by Sir George Paish, which is
the standard weekly review on finance and economy, has a lengthy article on
Indian emigration to Canada.
“We had hoped,” says the Statist, “for broader views, for more
prescience and for a truer Imperial spirit on the part of Canada. The
Canadians themselves are all settlers form foreign lands or descendants of
such. They are intruders upon the native possessors of the country and hold
their position only because of the protection of the British Empire.”
“We had fondly hoped that knowing all this, they would recognize the
consequent obligation upon them but we have been disappointed. WE have
frequently urged in the past and repeat today, that it is the duty of the Indian
Government to form and carry out a great scheme of Indian colonization
within the British Empire but it is impossible, as things stand at present for
the class of Indians most in need of new homes, unaided, to colonize
successfully.”
