INTERMARRIAGE OF PERSONS OF DIFFERENT ORIGINS 23 INTERMARRIAGE® Intermarriage is at once an index and a method of assimilation. The foreign stocks in Canada show great differences both in respect of the extent to which they have inter- married with the basic stocks of the country and their inclination to do so. Some stocks, such as the Orientals, Hebrews and certain of the Slavic peoples, are practically inassimilable by marriage; others assimilate very readily. (1) Dealing first with the amount of intermarriage which had taken place by 1921, it was found that 33-3 p.c. of the married men of North Western Europeans had married out- side their own stock and 34-3 p.c. of the women, as against 16-2 p.c. of the men and 13-5 p.c. of the women of South, Eastern and Central Buropean stocks. Thus the North Western Europeans as a group had intermarried with others more than twice ss much as the South, Eastern and Central Europeans. Of the linguistic groups, the Scandinavians had married into other stocks to the greatest extent—approximately 43 p.c. for both men and women; the Germanic peoples ranked second with 30 p.e. Only 22:2 p.c. of the men of Latin and Greek origin had crossed the line of their own stock in marriage, and 15-2 p.c. of the men of Slavic origin. The figures for the women of the last mentioned origins were even smaller, being 14-4 pee. for the Slavs; and 7-6 p.c. for the Latins and Greeks. Differences between individual stocks are still more marked. For example, using the data for the men one finds that 74-2 p.c. of the Danes, 73:7 p.c. of the Swiss and 53 p.c. of the Dutch had married wives of other origins, as against 10:6 p.c. for the Austrians, 10-5 p.c. for the Galicians, 9-2 p.c. for the Finns, 7:5 po. for the Ukrainians and 4-2 p.c. for the Hebrews. The progress of intermingling by marriage has proceeded farther with the Scandinavian and Germanic origins than with the Slavic and Latin and Greek peoples. Many stocks have intermarried scarcely at all.
