Rural Credits Bill Receives Third Reading in Commons
Ottawa the rural credits bill was given third reading to establish a federal farm loan system. The plan creates a Canadian Farm Loan Board to issue bonds for long term loans to farmers with initial capital from the Dominion Government. Provinces also subscribe five per cent of loans, borrowers pay five per cent on their loans, and farm loan bonds may be held up to fifteen million dollars. An amendment allowing colonization societies to loan was debated and carried with provincial board approval.

Favorable Outlook for Immigration to Canada in Coming Year
Ottawa expects strong immigration activity this year due to Department efforts and a renewed pact with Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Railways. Railway agents will select immigrants for farm work and domestic labor in Europe, with certificates of occupation verified by the railways and positions guaranteed by the companies. Europe is divided into regions, with the British Isles and Western Europe favored, while other areas face stricter conditions. The plan runs for three years from September, as ministers coordinate with Great Britain to extend the program under the soldier’s settlement scheme.
