HEN, a little more than a
year ago, Sir Henry W,

W

Thornton, K.B.E., was
chosen to head the Canadian Na-
tional Railways,

one of his first
acts was to’ put
into motion ma-
chinery for aid-
.ing in the coloni-
zation and de-
velopment of Can-
ada, particularly
along the lines of
the National Sys-
tem, He realized :
that one of the:
erying needs, o
Canada was for :

‘population of 3
twenty-five mil
lon people, Can-
ada would have
no railway pro-

em.

The organiza.
tion of a depart- Dr. W.
ment to look after colonization and
development was entrusted by Sir
Henry to Mr. W. D. Robb, Vice-

President, and Mr.
proceeded to build up the-necessary
organization to: look after this most
important national work. Investi-
gations, conferences and careful
planning gradually brought into
being an-effective department, the
effort of the year culminating in
the engagement of Dr, W. J. Black,
Deputy Minister of Immigration
and Colonization in the Federal
Government, as Manager of the
Colonization and
partment of the Canadian National
Railways, with headquarters in
London, England. That was early
in the Fal] of 1928. Dr. Black pro-
ceeded at once to Great Britain,
where he spent some weeks earry~
ing out a series of © investigations.
These completed, he returned to

of all officers of the department
was called and a definite plan of
colonization and development was
drawn up and announced, This
was the first definite announcement
on immigration to be announce

in Canada, ,

«In engaging Dr. Black, the Can-
adian_ National Raihvays secured

methods of remedying those needs,

nected with the argricultural in-
dustry and has run the gauntlet of
all its intricate phases. He WAS

partment com
actively, The thorough character

of the policy can be judged from a
‘recapitulation of the seven prin-
ciples, which are-as follows:

]—To influence the immigration
-and satisfactory settlement in
Canada of the largest possible
number of people of productive
capacity that the country can
absorb and assimilate.

2-To contribute to the dissemina-
tion of information concern-
ing the vast and extensive ng-
tural resources of the Domin-
ton and the widespread oppor-
tunities for industrial develop-
ment, so that capital may be
attracted from other countries
and invested where enterprises
will be legitimately Tewarded.

\
3—To promote the land settie-
ment of new Canadians under
conditions that will ensure the
maximum possibility of suc-
cess in their farming opera-
tions, and enable them to en-
Joy such social and religious
Institutions as are necessary to
individual ‘happiness and con-
tentment,

4—To encourage improvement in
agriculture, that more diversi-
fied methods may be employed
in farming, and that crop.
livestock, and dairy production
may be increased in aceord-
ance with market demands and
prospects,

5—To assist by organized effort
in the immigration of “young
people of desirable type and
character, ‘especially from
Great Britain, and ‘in their
placement in respectable rural
homes where they may become
qualified to participate in con-
structive activities and acquire
citizenship of distinct value to
Canada, °'

6—To aid in the development. of‘.
new opportunities for service
and to facilitate every effective
means of selecting immigrants ;

7—To co-operate with the Federal .
and Provincial Governments
and business organizations
