Speech #800108186

The result was a surprising one to those who had advocated the course to which I have referred. They found that they did not have the undeveloped resources that some had said they had. Canada closed her doors to all Immigration in 1946. except people from the British possessions and citizens of the United States. and except those that she selected through commissions set up in Europe. and those she selected were farm workers who have had an experience in farming for 8 years. The last report furnished to me through the committee showed that Canada had admitted about 4.000 Polish citizens. who have gone to the farms and to dairies of Canada. Under the Canadian rule. a man must know where he is going.
