Settlement plan for European refugees sparks western debate
The article discusses potential Canadian settlement of Czecho-Slovakians and Hungarians displaced by Hitler. It notes possible spring arrivals of about 3,000 people to Alberta and Saskatchewan, with 1,300 Hungarians including 500 Jews, and questions whether colonization aims to place refugees as farmers rather than professionals. Premier Aberhart and Premier Patterson deny formal agreements, while critics warn large colonial settlements may hinder assimilation and unify Canadian identity.
