GRAFT IN CANADA
INVESTIGATION PROCEEDING Prwa Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. OTTAWA, February 2. (Received February 3, at 10 a.m.) Sensational disclosures are likely to result from the parliamentary investigation promised by the Prime Minister into certain phases of the immigration problem. It is common knowledge that members of Parliament have been using the permit system to get certain persons into Canada, but the system never contemplated their making considerable money by this means. There are persistent stories that a few members and some outside persons have received substantial revenue by procuring permits to admit foreigners nt so much per head. Even more serious are credible stories of “permit bootleggers,” or persons who manufacture bogus permits and distribute them, to the financial advantage of themselves and others. Mr R. Forke (Minister of Immigration) knows of the existence of such an industry, and the Mounted Police are on the track of the offenders.
