INTERMARRIAGE WITH BRITISH AND FRENCH 121 ASSIMILATION BY INTERMARRIAGE WITH THE BRITISH AND FRENCH Intermarriage with Those of British Origin—More important than intermarriage generally from the standpoint of assimilation is the progress made in intermarriage with those of British and French origin. In Table 64 are found the numbers and percentages of the fathers and mothers who had married into the British stock. Tables 65 and 66 group the data by specified territorial and linguistic divisions. These tables repeat the story of the three preceding ones, though the differences in the proportions are many times more marked. The percentages of the North Western Euro- pean married males who had married into the British stocks were five times greater than that for the South, Eastern and Central European married males and, in the case of the women, the proportion was len times greater. Similar differences appear. as between the linguistic groups. Between 20 and 25 p.c. of the Scandinavian and Germanic married men and women had married into the British stocks, as against less than 3 p.c. of the Slavs. The unusual sex distribution of the Greeks and Italians is reflected again in the data on inter- marriage with the British. Practically no mixed marriages had occurred between the women of these origins and the British; but owing to the shortage of marriageable females in Can- ada the Italian and Greek males Lad in some cases taken wives of British origin. Yet the actual amount of intermarriage has pot been great even for the men. Up to 1921 only 10-6 p.c. of the Latin and Greek married males had intermarried with the British, More detailed examination of the tables reveals striking differences as between particular stocks. When the proportions of married men who had married into British stocks are arranged in rank, the Galicians and Ukrainians appear at the bottom of the list and the Dutch and Swiss at the top. Less than one in every hundred Galician and Ukrainian fathers in Canada had married a wife of British origin, while 44 out of every hundred fathers of Dutch origin and 37 of the Swiss had done so. The figure for the Dutch is 80 times larger than that for the Galicians and 60 times greater than that for the Ukrainians.
