Speech #620031871

I do not understand. Mr. President. why it should be thought wise statesmanship to accentuate the immigration from the United States Into Canada. I do not understand why It should be thought the part of wisdom to add an additional inducement for the American settler to go to Canada instead of remaining in the United States. I do not understand why it should be thought wise. not only in view of his advantage by reason of the cheaper land. but why it should be thought wise to give the additional advantage of having cheaper lands and the better advantages without sustaining the burdens of government which we have to sustain in this country.
