Tables 22 and 23 on p. 61 show the numbers of European foreign born in Canada in 1901, 1911 and 1921, as far as possible, by country of birth and geographical and linguistic slassifications. It has been impossible to separate, for example, the Austrians from the Hungarians for 1901—and so with all cases where the numbers and percentages are omitted. There are several significant points brought out in this table. First, however, a word «8 required as to the meaning of percentage increases and decreases. Take for example the Belgians, In 1901-1911 the number of European born Belgians in Canada increased 249-78 p.c.; that is, at an average rate of 25 p.c. per year over the 1901 total. The influx of Bel- zians was therefore enough to offset any emigration that occurred in the period, to neutralize the death rate of Belgian immigrants to Canada, and to show by the end of the decade two and a half times the number of Belgian born immigrants resident in the Dominion in 1901. [n the second ten years of the century the increase was only 66:47 p.c. During those years immigration was smaller, emigration was more marked and the mortality rate among the Belgian born was probably higher, owing to the higher average age of Belgian residents in Canada. The actual percentages shown are thus the result of three or more less independent factors which vary in importance from time to time and between one stock and another. There is a fourth consideration, however, which is necessary to explain a given percent age increase. A very large proportionate increase may be due not to any great volume of immigration so much as to its recency. Take for example the Greeks. In 1001 there were 213 Canadian residents born in Greece; in 1911, 2,640--an increase of 2,327 in numbers but of 1,139-44 p.c. Between 1911 and 1921 the number of native Greeks in Canada increased
