W. A. Gordon, the new Canadian Minister of Immigration in the Conservative cabinet which has just been chosen by Premier Bennett, is an outspoken opponent of East and Central European immigration into Canada. During the recent parliamentary campaign Mr. Gordon several times expressed himself as absolutely opposed to immigration from the continent of Europe. Drastic changes in Canada’s immigration policy are therefore expected now that Mr. Gordon has assumed the direction of the Federal immigration department.
“In spite of the great unemployment in the country today”, said Mr. Gordon in one of his campaign speeches, “we nevertheless see that Canada is being invaded by carload after carload of East Europeans and continental Europeans.”
Mr. Gordon accused the former Liberal government of being indifferent to the question of immigration while Canada is suffering from unemployment.
