Nol The Review cannot understand why ftHv dis ppointment is manifest with the recent decision of the International Joiut Wa erways Commission in the application of Crestoa Reclamation Company, Limited, for a permit to proceed with the dyking of the company lands ota Kootenay Flats. To us it would seem that too much importance is being attached xo the request of tlae secretary of state at Washington for a year's delay in order that bis department may have ample time to study the effects of the proposed works on present and prospective developments across the line. While it is true that a delay of twelve months has been asked for, it must not be assumed that any such request is to have serious consideration. The mere fact that the commission adjourned without setting a date for re assembling would indicate they had no such thought in mind, and to those who heard their official statements prior to consent ing; to adjoisn-msent it is abundant ly clear that the American commissioners in particular, as well as the Canadians, are thoroughly con vine ed that on the evidence submitted there ie no reason whatever for delaying decision and that- there is no intention on the part of the commissioners to give the secretary of state more than a reasonable length of time to argue his ob^eo-1 inS tions���������if it is found, after the offi to the assistance of the Company at that time, but no positive guarantee in this connection can be given.

Althoaagh the acreage so-wsi fjis year-was '40,418,897 acres, as against 0^48,013 in 1926, the yield per acre was .reater, wheat averaging 19.03 bushels ?>er acre in 1927, against 17.8 baishels ha .926; oats, 342, sgaiaast 30.1; and rye, ������.6, against 16.1 in 1926. Four good crops n succession have put the farmers of ada in an excellent position, Althoxogh field crops are the backbone ii agriculture, there are surprising returns ?r$m the minor pursuits.

Trade Statuses This year the Gcverrarcenft of Canada provided $100,000 to cover the cost of a trade study of the British market. This seems to be very timely, for, while Britain is otar best customs, the demand for '���������-our products from year to year has been very erratic In 1920 we supplied 27 per cent, of the bracon imported by Britain, as against It per cent, in 1926. Sicoilarly, our share in the egg market fell from 11.4 per-cent, of British imports in 1920 to .7 per cent, an 1926; In 1914 we supplied 48 per cent..of the cheese, in 1920 41 per cent., and in 1926 3S per cent. If the studies undertaken show how to hold our, markets and gradually increase our share, tlae money-will have been well spent. Exports of Canadian tobacco to Britain have increased 700 per cent, during the last four years as a result of the preferential-trade agreement. This is reflected In the. rapid 1 extension of tobacco farming in Western 1 Ontario. ** Fuel and Water Power In Central Canada, where most of our factories fare located, -we have no coal fields.. For some. years the Governments | of Canada; have given serious attention to the possibility of making the coal of Nova Scotia and Alberta available for the parts of Ontario and Quebec which arti. now dependent on imported coal.1 The advantage to Canadian finance, to the coalmining Industry and to the railways of Canada, of success ira this undertaking, would b* so great that the project should be very fully colored. Canada has a most encouraging record, with a development of 4,290,000 horsepower, -as compared wtth 12,000,000 horsepower in the United States, which has more than twelve Uancs our population. The Falls and Rapids which baffled our forefathers by obstructing free traffic on the waters, contain a wealth of which they did not dream. 9 Our Mineral Wealth In 1926 the production of the Canadian mines was valued at over $240,000,000, jas compared with $86,000,000 in 1907, and $226,000,000 in 192J>., Though the Increased value of 1926 over 1925 is only about * per cent., the Increase In the quantity produced Is much greater.. This is due to the lower average prices prevailing in. 1926 for silver, copper, lead and ruic. With the exploitation of the established The total assets approximate $139,000,- 000, the growth being some $7,000,000, or at the rate of* over $500,000 a month. The profits, which arc shown at $!,33Sr381 -58, are also the highest that have ever been shown by the bank, and as tasaial, have- been computed rafter writing off anything of a bad or douhtf aai nature, and making JLiie jl\jl-p3. *> full provision for all contingencies of every sort and kind. Out of the profits have been provided the usual dividends of 12 per cent, and a bonus at the Tate of I per cent: the tasaial contributions to Officers' Guarantee and Pension Funds and also provision for Dominion Govern- . ment taxes (including a reserve for the current year's income tax), $160,000, and $250,000 has been written off Bank Premises Account. After these deductions we ��������� are able to carry forward $1,272,929.81, a sum slightly in excess of the balance brought forward from the 1926 accoaant. Deposits Hig-h Record ��������� Last year we reported our deposits in excess of $100^000^000 for the first time. ! This year they are $109,014,919, an u������- crease of roaaghly $8300,000 for the year, iiqaaiai Peatiss Tairning to the a^et side of the statement, Bonainion notes and foreign cur- sendesron hand amount to neasly $11^75, 531. Add to this the deposit in the goad central reserves, cbecpies on other banks, balances due by other banks in Canada, the total cash amounts to upwards of ^SflOQfiOO, which equals 22.92 per cent. of the bank's liabilities to ttae public. Our a second line of- reserves, Dominion x$& i Provincial Government securities and ether readily realizable assets, such as Call Litems in Caraads. -sasd New York. Loans to Provincial Goverawnents and the Mtmidpalitiss, and so on- all of which" can be really classed as immediately liquid investments, amount to $43,000,000, an increase of $6,000,000 for the year, and when added to the cash on hand, bring out a total of liquids of $76,487,604, eqaia! to 62.18 per cent, of liabilities to the public. ��������� . ���������' Current Loans . The Current Loans,, at slightly over $55,000,000, are practically amchanged from last year. We would like to see this department of our business a little larger, but satisfactory additions to the Current Loans are hard to obtain, the growth over tbe whole of Canada for the year ended September being only 8 per cent. Our own Call Loans in Canada showed an expansion of $4,500,000 during the year, which is about in keeping awith the expansions shown by other Banks, according to the Governments Returns. These loans are well selected and passed upon by the Board of xnirectots as well as the management, and up to the present tune have not occasioned the Bank the loss of a single dollar, but.naturally they are not as remunerative as commercial loans. The Bank's Premises *jrhis year $250,000 has been written off, which amount practically offsets our expenditures on premises during thp ye-ar. Branches of the Bank have been opened or arranged at Oakwood Avenue and Rogers Road, Sitvertbom Avenue and Rogers Road, Bloor and Durie Streets, all in the City of Toronto. At Noranda and Dol- beau, in the Trovincc of Quebec; at Gold Pines, in Ontario, and at Mayerthorpe and Eckville In the Province of Alberta. One branch at Sparta, Ont.,. has been closed. We now have 187 branches. Tho Stall The staff consists of 1,304 officers. The growth of the Bank necessitates a constantly plowing number of employees. The staff during the year have, if anything, been more efficient than ever, and I have much pleasure in again testifying to their loyalty. Our Shareholders The Shareholders of the' Bank now number 2,605, compnred with 2,587 a year ago, aaa Increase of 18, Although the number of American investors is considerable; the actual number of shares involved so far Is not of any great conso- Sucnoe. It would appear, however, that the Canadian Banks continue to.prosper there will be anonre and more inquiries says the isame of pingVp?>agjf has started -up again, and it is heingr played at the Fernie j**-** a.:-..'-'"'., y " " ������jiuo.

According to General Sutton, 99 per cent. of the people of China were hopelessly poverty stricken. The urgent ^necessity of getting- something to eat Was the main consideration of the bulk of the pqptalation.

I, King Plezekiah Appeals/ To Isaiah To Pr-ay To Jehovah For Deltv- er.aaace Pr-oan Sennacherib, verses 1-4. II. Tho Prophet's AnBWer, verses 5-7.-���������"Thus shall ye say to youiVnias- ter," Isaiah made answer to the anes- seiagers from King Hezekiali, "Thus saith Jehovah, Be aiot afraid of the words that thou hast hoard-,;,where-- with the servants oi' the Kiaig of Assyria have blasphemed me." Read the words in the preceding Chapter of Isaiah. "Behold," continued. Isaiah, "I will put a spirit iaa him, and he $hall hear tidings, and shall retain unto his own hind, and I-will cause him to fail there by the sword in Ids o'wn land." The '"spirit"' was that of alarm. What the "tidings" were is uncertain. To quote G. W. Blade: "If chapters' 36 and 37 are a unity, 'tidings' must refer to the aiews of the appa*oach of Tirha- kah, verse 9. If verses .1-7 here are independent of verses 'S-36, the rumor probably relateis to the tidings from hoane of a rebellion'in Babylon,'where, after expelling Meroda-ch'-baiadan in 703, he had set up a vassal king, wlio shortly afterwards revolted,, and against whom he directed a campaign in 700. In the combination of the narratives mention of the fulfillment of the prediction about the rumor may have been lost; but the return, of Sennacherib to his own land is described in verses 37, 38, which form the se- QUel of this account." "Isaiah's fervid faith in Zioai's ������n- violableness does not blind him to the openness of Judah's northern entrance; It is in one of his passages of warmest exultation about Zion (10.32) that he describes .the easy advance of the Assyrians to her walls. He and other prophets frequently recognized how swiftly the military powers .will overrun Judah; and when they except Jerusalem from tlae conseguences, it is not because of her national strength, but because of their faith In the direct intervention of God Himself. So at last it happened. In the great-crisis of her history, the invasion by Sennacherib, Judah was saved.as.Engl^nd was saved from the Armada, neither by the strength of her bulwarks, for they had been burst, nor by the valor of her men, for the heart had gone ft'om them, but because, apart 'from''Human help, God jbliniself crushed her insolent foes in the moment of their triumph."���������George Adam Smith. it&i3anB������C ' Acts like d flash- Question Of Naval Limitation Shelved .

Former Frea*ac!h Delegate Says 1S35 Will Be Crucial Year The United States will not be on the "same side as Great Britain in another European war, Henri de Jouvenel, former French delegate to the League of Nations, predicted, in a letter read at the International War Daiiger Conference at London. M. de Jouvenel, who recently resigned his League post as a protest against tho policies pursued at Geneva, was to have addressed tho conference, but sent a message which was read instead. Tlae Fronch statesman pointed to tho holding tap of tho recent naval confci'enco and said: "Naval rivalry brings in its train concurrently with the growth of land armnmeuts., rivalry of great states which are potential foes." He predicted. 1935 as a crucial year, until which tho peaco structure would hold good, but expressed tho hope that by that time tho League of Nations would havo gained tho authority nocossary to provont 1ho roourronco of war. Scheme Is Proving Success Socialistic Rule Has Passed Experimental Stage Ira Vienaaa The city of Vienna has just enterell upon its ..tenth > vear? under So-^I'ilist rule. It is the only great city ol Suil- lions of inhabitants which has been governed by a purely Socialist majority for so long a time-���������the only place where Sociatlist experiments liave had a chance to be conducted upon so grandiose a scale and thereby develop beyond the expeiimental stage into what, from certain definite points of, view/must bo regarded as success. .-Probably no city outside of Russia has had more hostile criticism than Vienna during the past decade. It has been denounced as Bolshevist; as a city being ruined by its rulers. Yet today students of municipal govei*n- ment come from all parts of the world to the Vienna town hall admittedly to learn. :l? ���������-���������-?? The first striking fact is that Red -Vienna is as far removed from Red Russia as the poles. In Viennai in fact, nothing Is forbidden in tho social order, provided one is able to pay. : It all depends upon that. On the other hand, the doctrine of Kary Seita is definite���������minienum happiness is d������ue to every one and for that every one shall pay. Therefore, one may rotain 40 servants if lie deems that number necessary���������and pay a tax sufficient to maintain an entire -ward in the; children's hospital for a year. But upon the theory that human service is necessary,. servant No. 1 is not cou- sidei-ed.a taxable luxuary. Ono, may own one automobile or twenty, providing one pays ������20 per horsepower annually. One may attend cabarets all night, provided he is willing to pay the musie tax. French champagne may be imbibed to the palate's desire provided the purse can stand the strain of the high tax that goes.to the municipal building fund. Ono may ride a horse for pleasure and pay an annual tax of $50, or may keep a horse for. commerce and pay a tax of only $5, or may own a Worse to till the soil and pay no taxes whatever. Undoubtedly in some ways ��������� perhaps in? many w*ays���������the new regime is still groping with, difficulty. J3ut, as the city fathers maintain, It is only nine years since the revolution and only seven years since the inhabitants have been ablo to get good square meals, therefore more lime, Is needed to solve all problems.

Jack Doran would be the best one���������he was always so easy to talk to, and he did not laaigli at her English. ��������� As Helmi caane close to. the top of the street, on a knoll that had a balm of Gilead tree on it, she eame upon a pile of lumber���������new, shining lumber, fragrant in the warm air.

She carried a bag of laundry���������she and the teacher traded work to their mutual advantage. As Helani looked at the lumber a sudden impulse came ,. to her. She wanted to build a house-*���������any sort of a little place that would* be her own. Wasn't it provoking being a girl and not able to hit out for yourself���������-never able to step out and do big things, aaid here she was, working all day long for twenty-five dollars a month, while the poorest man in the mines had four dollars -aday aatd only worked eight li purs'..' It sure Was the, limit! Aaxd she would just love to build horselt a house. She would be content to stay in Eagle Minos if sho had her own house. Then, sho put tho thought a-fl'ay, summoning Aunt J..IU again to' hea* aid. A house meant an anchor, and she wanted to ho free, always frco. More English and more money* 'and then sho would go to tho city, learn stenography, work Iai an oillco, wear swell -saalts and have a wrist watch. Her plans 'seemed to end there In uncertainty. Hut hero at. her feet lay the material for a house, and it didn'Udo ;uay harm, to pat the lumber! Ono sail try Sunday morning just before daybreak Helmi. was awakonod by a sh'iddorlng crash of thunder that asooanod to burrow undor tho fooardhtg- housoi then burst upward with a terii- fh*. ura.sh like iho blaullaa'^ on tlio mlnoB.

Sunday wanting to build���������sue knew how ne felt���������she felt too. Now she was running down' stairs and out into the storm. The sky seemed,to split wide open above her head as she ran; the heavens were lashed with knotted cords of flame swung hy invisible giant hands. But Helmi ran on. She must get to this man and bring him in. She thought of Peter Saarl, all blackened and burned beside his plough. She called iq J[um��������� above, the storm, and lie inust have heard for he turned toward her, smiling. v Then came ay flash that blinded hea: and turned the world into blackest night. Soanething fell into her arms. When Helmi opened her eyes a strange prickly sensation was in her arms and feet,..She was sitting on the pile" of lumber, holding someone in her arms, someone with face ghastly in the wan light, and whose eyes were closed. A cry broke from Helmi's lips. "Jack Doran!" she called; "Oh, Jack Doran, is it you?'* She carried him into the house, his weight seeming nothing to her In her excitement. Her one Impulse was to get him to shelter before the.storm broke. Big drops fell on his face as she hurried along, and instin.etively slaeyleaned furthea' over hian to shelter him.yThere W3ty.no. lounge or bed dbwnstalrs, no place where she could lay him,. To,her o\yn room she brought him and Jlaid him -on?" her bed. He moaned'wben' she-Jyid him down. Then she ran to alarm the house. The rain was -coaning down now in torrents, racing in a mad flood* down the windows, filling the house with a steady, deafening,roar, through which peals of thunder came bursting like cannon..' Mrs. McMann ploughed steamily up the stairs. "He ain't dead," sho yaid, "nor nothing near it, but he's been stunned. You see there ain't- a,mark on him, but ho sure ha.d a na.sty wallop. It was lucky for. him you saw him fall." Helmi did not explain. ..."He'd have been drowned to.death like as not if he had been left;lying there. GqsIi! alai't that ono awful rain. Wo can't send for the doctor just now, that's sure. Anyway, I don't -think there's anything to do Cor Jacjc-fhut just let*him lie. He's breathjn''-all right* sand his color is comiu' back." Helmi watched Jack's palo face anxiously. Ills cheeks were beginning to loso thoir ghastly pallor, sind lain lips were reddening. Sho noted admiringly iho curly hair ^waved back from the high whlto forehand, the gracefully sirchod eyebrows, sand the, akin of itho neck so wuoolU and white. JJetanl touched Jack's forehead gently1, with hor hand. Thoro was something strangely familiar about his faeo; as ho lay ho Core her. j ;'? For two day������ Jack Doj-aia laySvith- out speaking.

She was condemned to death, and though the sentence was commuted, she died neglected, ia a prison in Cologne from pleurisy only two months before the allied vietory for which she had worked without flinching.
