Those D.P.’s

No one. would argue the fact that Canada needs more

. people—must have them indeed, if the nation’s resources

are to be developed and the nation to fulfill her destiny.

Yet one hears murmurings across the land on the part of some Canadians that those D.P.’s are taking the jobs that rightfully belong to native-born men and women. Such an attitude indicates superficial thinking from a selfish point of wiew.

There may be individual and isolated cases where new- ‘comers from Europe or other parts of this continent obtain the jobs that Canadians might well regard as theirs. But in the nation-wide picture the fact is that the more new-Cana- ‘dians arrive in our land, the more jobs there will be. These newcomers and their families require food and housing and, in time, all the other things that Canadians today regard as necessities. Thus markets are extended for both farm and manufactured products making for greater work opportu. nities. | : : The very term Displaced Person” has unfortunately gained a tinge of disapproval. It is time it were dropped in referring to people from other lands who come to Canada to ‘make their homes, : e § F

Not so long ago, a bit of “beefing” was heard because Indians were being employed on a certain construction job. The Indians were spoken of as D.P*’s. That of course is very funny for who has more right to the:term Canadian than the descendants of the tribes who watched the white man land on our shores for the fitst time?

Looking back a bit in our history, we find that Canada as we know it was built by men and women from old lands’ of Europe and Asia. Thus Canadians who today look askance at the arrival of immigrants to this country, forget that they themselves are the descendents of earlier D.P.’s.

Canada’s population is a mixture of nationalities. From that mixture is arising a new nation not quite like any that exists or has existed. Canada is young. Confederation is only a short 85 years behind us; and the movement from Canada, a colony to Canada, a nation, has developed only since World War.t. 7 . .

Newcomers to our shores, are a part of that development. They are bringing with them, new skills, new ideas, a willing- ness to work hard, an ardent desire to share in the freedoms and opportunities that we enjoy.

Canadians must’ welcome these newcomers. They must. help them to become assimilated. Canada must have millions more men and women from crowded Great’ Britain and European countries, from the United States and, perhaps from Asia, to people our vast empty spaces and to help us build a great nation in the northern part of North America,

So let’s stop calling these new citizens D.P.’s, let's call them what they are, i.e., new Canadians,

The aim of character building, he said was inculcation of res- ponsibility and there are several methods of doing so. The most obvious way is to lay down the law according td the Ten Com- mandments, (The Traffic Rules of Life) and according to social morals also. The old method of doing so is the copybook method, i.e, by example’from books or persons.
