MINOR:SSUES HURT U S-CANADA AMITY New Era in Relations Seen if| Strict Immigration Rules Are Relaxed. BY MERWIN H. BROWNE. OTTAWA, March 23.—A new ers in the relations between Canada and the United States, which has as its basis & new commercial pact, properly might include a relaxation of stringent immi- gration regulations on both sides of the border, according to international ob- servers who have been studying the situation. For years, there has exisited a prac- tical friendship between the two na- tions. This has been evidenced by an unarmed boundary, an exchange of pop- ulation, the intermarriage of Canadian and American citizens, and more re- cently, in the ability of the countries to reach an agreement on the St. Law- rence waterway plan. At the same time, however, over & span of years, both Canada and the United States have engaged in activi- ties in comparatively minor affairs which have aroused nationalistic feeling on both sides of the international boundary. It was once referred to as s practice of shaking hands over the top of & fence, and kicking shins be- neath it. They have been termed “pin- pricks” in international good will in America and in the Dominion. Obvi- ously the road to better relations would be considerably smoothed by the re- moval of these little irritating incidents. Radio No Longer an Issue. The Canadian belief that the United Btates had appropriated all the deslr- able radio broadcasting wave lengths was responsible for one of the “pin-| pricks.” Conferences were held on the matter. Canada was agreeably sur- to find that the United States no dog-in-the-manger attitud and was wfl]m* to co-operate in grant- ing Canada all the broadcasting wave lengths she could use. Radio is no longer a point in issue. “ There is ample precedent for immi- gration co-operation. America has never applied the quots restriction to Ct - pean immigrants, find- ing it difficult to enter America due to quota restrictions, established s prac- tice of coming to Canada and using the Dominion as a springboard for entry into the United States. America tightened its regulations and the Ca- nadian immigration officials gave their active co-operation in discouraging and ending the traffic. It co-operation can be had in such & matter of major importance, observ- ers argue, why will it not work equally as well in a much less intricate prod- lem, that of the legitimate crossing of the international boundary by Amer- ican and Canadian nationals, and in other matters? Canada, of course, regarded the action of the United States Labor De- artment. requiring the payment of a eadtax of $8 and the obtaining of a visa for $10 of Canadians entering the United States for employment—which occurred before the economic depres- slon—as a not too friendly ra- tion. Undoubtedly, retaliatory action was taken in many quarters. Salesmen began to find it difficult to enter Can- ads with their American wares snd technical bars of all descriptions were placed in their way. For a time vacationing Americans who received too much solace from han tering the United idies found them selves subject to the strictest sort of scrutiny. Many were prevented even from entering. Today these practices have more or less -subeided, due largely .to the fact that the depression has dictated that the labor market in both countries be and of pre- red for their own nationals, ere_has been more" Understanding mfl rigid restrictions which now vail. < ‘There are, however, instances in which - international good will would have been served better had a more liberal interpretation of immigrationt laws been ible. One involved the attempt of & group of American citizens known as “hut- terites” and hailing from South Dakota, to settle in Alberta province. They paid cash for 5000 acres in Canada, which _they tion and improved with buildings. then returned to South Dakota, their holdings there and re-;;ter Canada. They were refused entry. sold to Gavernment Gets Protests. In their absence protests had been lodged with the Alberta provincial gov- | ernment by local Boards of Trade to the effect that if the American set- tlers were allowed to come to Canada they would depreciate property in that locality. A further argument lodged against their admission to Canada was that the “hutterites” purchased their supplies from mail order houses. The protest was recognized and, despite their Canadian hoidings, and the fact that the capital of the average family represented was $10,000, they were re- fused entry and forced to desert their Alberta holdings. On the other side of the picture the rigidity of American immigration laws is shown. Several Summers ago two Canadian boys walked into the United States and obtained work helping with the Western wheat harvest. They were picked up by American immigra- tion authorities, and despite many pleas in their behalf, deported to Canada for | illegal entry. If a better understanding prevailed between authorities on both sides of the line, students believe such inci- dents, which tend to stir g\exblic opinion in both countries, might be obviated.
