RELATION OF URBAN RESIDENCE TO NATURALIZATION 145 
though very favourable to the above thesis, is not valid because the former are mostly 
the children of French Canadians who are merely returning to the country of their own 
people. 
In conclusion it may be stated that where the European born have naturalized to a 
greater extent than the United States born immigrants of the same stocks, various outside 
factors have entered in which suggest that such cases are abnormal. ‘On the other hand, 
where outside influence is a minimum the percentages appear to be positive. It is probable, 
therefore, other things being equal, that a generation's residence in the United States makes 
political assimilation of foreign stocks in Canada somewhat easier. It must be kept in 
mind, however, that the above generalization is tentative pending further investigation.

THE EFFECT OF URBAN RESIDENCE ON NATURALIZATION 
Somewhat more definite conclusions may be drawn as to the effect of urban as opposed 
to rural residence on the naturalization of any people. Table 84 (p. 147) shows the percentages 
of immigrants naturalized in cities 25,000 and over by countries of birth and the proportions 
of all immigrants (that is, both rural and urban) from these countries who have become 
Canadian citizens. Column 3 gives the percentages by which the proportion naturalized of 
the total foreign born (rural and urban) differs from the proportion naturalized among the 
residents of large cities, for each country of birth.
