"Canadianization" work in its various aspects, is it befitting, would
you think, for our Knights to drop out of the field? Should they not,
on the contrary, prepare to "carry on"--as their brother Knights are
doing across the border? The example they are giving there to the
Catholic laity is simply wonderful. It is an object lesson that has
awakened the tremendous energies that lie dormant in the ranks of the
Catholic laymen and only want the spark of "leadership" to ignite them.
And indeed no work should appeal more to the Knights, for it places
them in their true sphere of action. It opens up long vistas of
"Social religious work," by giving them the consciousness of the
religious solidarity and the feeling of their social and national
responsibilities. With that vision, under that impulse, they walk from
their Council Chambers into the very life of the Church and of the
Nation. They assume in all reality their office of a _Loyal
Body-guard_. For, in this matter, our contention is that where the
Knights of Columbus' Order is not wedded to some definite programme of
action, in harmony with its aim and constitution, it ceases to be an
asset and will soon go to seed, or die of dry rot.

The following would be a summary of activities to be undertaken in
connection with Immigration work. This is merely an outline that may
help in drawing up a more exhaustive plan of action.

1. _Permanent Secretaries_.--In our estimation, a permanent, trained
and well-paid secretary is the condition of genuine success. The time
has passed to have to depend on voluntary and untrained service. Times
have changed and methods also. The permanency of a secretary gives to
our work stability and promise of intense life. This has been the
secret of the success of other organizations that we could afford to
imitate.

Moreover this secretaryship can become the mother-cell of various
activities which eventually will branch off--_i.e._, Welfare Bureau,
Information Bureau, etc., etc. This therefore should be our first
preoccupation, for on it depend the life and prosperity of our
Immigration Work.

2. _Ladies' Auxiliary_.--Local Women's organization can be called upon
to bring their sympathetic support to the carrying out of this work of
Catholic Immigration. Generous and devoted women are always to be
found to whom this work will appeal. Their natural sympathy and their
great faith
