President. who go to Canada for the purpose of taking up the public lands must become citizens or declare their intention to become citizens of the Dominion. but I have not the figures which show the number who actually assume that relationship to the Dominion Government. I know that all must do so before they acquire title. and a vast number of them go there for that purpose. in fact. it is conceded very generally by those who have investigated the subject that the purpose of going to Canada Is to acquire title to public lands. All of them who acquire public land must necessarily cease to be citizens of this country. As I have said. there must be some powerful and controlling reason for this emigration.
