THE RELATION OF SEX TO NATURALIZATION 149 
as in the case of the other nations the excess of males in the population may be considered! 
as having a direct relation to the higher percentage of females who have become Canadian 
citizens, 
That there is a connection between the proportion of surplus males (or females) and the 
percentages of each naturalized, may be seen by comparing the percentages given in this 
table and Tables 87 and 88 with those in Table 35 in- Chapter III. With only minor 
wariations, which are more or less to be expected because of the differing characteristics of 
the various stocks and the varying degrees to which disturbing factors enter in, the rank of 
the countries, when arranged according to the percentage surplus of males, follows very 
closely the order of arrangement of the percentages by which the proportions of females 
naturalized exceeds the proportion of males. 
To test this out superficially, the cases of Denmark and Sweden may be taken, being 
the two countries in North Western Europe showing the highest surpluses of women 
naturalized. The surplus of men among those immigrants amounts to 132 p.c. and 102 p.c. 
respectively, the highest for North Western European countries. A like test applied to 
South, Eastern and Central European groups would show similarly high percentages of 
surplus males in the foreign born population where the proportions of females naturalized 
exceeded that of the males by the largest percentage. And so with the linguistic groups, 
with certain exceptions which are more or less easily explained. 
To pursue this analysis further would be of interest, but the main object of this 
section is to emphasize the importance of the difference between immigrant men and women 
in respect to naturalization. Tables 87 and 88 have been inserted merely to show that the 
degree to which females have surpassed males in respect to naturalization is not directly 
related to geographical origin nor to linguistic characteristics. There is no uniformity 
within the geographical or linguistic groups. Each origin is virtually a law unto itself.
