In addition to that there is another element. I am not statIng it as a matter of criticism or of commendation. I let that take care of itself at some other time. but we have included in our reserves in the West some thirtyfive or forty million acres of agricultural lands. and the western Immigrant will not contend with the rules and regulations and conditions of acquiring a homestead in such a reserve when he can go across the Canadian border and acquire a homestead more easily and without the embarrassments which surround him here. Then. thirdly. there is undoubtedly the proposition of cheaper lands. Lands are cheaper in Canada. whether you estimate the value from the standpoint of the manner of acquisition under the law or from the manner of purchase.
