Keystone Of Empire Trade Canada Recognized As Greatest Factor In Imperial Situation Some time next year, probably in the early months, the various governments of the British Commonwealth of Nations will send delegates t> Ottawa to work'out a basis for the de- velopraent of inter-Empire, trade. Because all the Dominion Governments as well as the Government of Britain will wish to make this conference a decisive one, emphasizing the actual machinery rather than the platitudes of commerce, the meeting will have an importance far beyond anything of the kind yet attempted. For this reason the press representation will probably far exceed the representation of the governments themselves. Would it not enable these_-,press representatives of Britain, of New Zealand^ of Australia aad of South Africa bo write with, infinitely more understanding and intelligence of their subject if they were sent out three weeks or a month ahead of the' actual conference date to tour Canada and to familiarize themselves with productive and commercial conditions in this Dominion? For Canada, with all deference to her sister- Dominions, has become the keystone of Empire trade. Her natural resources are so great, her productivity so tremendous that she is recognized as the greatest factor in the imperial trade situation. Would not the world get a fairer report of the conference if the visit- I ing press representatives saw all this at first hand before the conference started and before their views were colored with the varying tints of statesmanship ?���������Vancouver Sun.

They are, he says, miniature battleships of 4.00G tons, designed for coast defense operations in the Baltic, with Diesel electric drive and a speed of 16 knots. Bach of these little ships mounts a formidable armament of four 10-inch guns in turrets and eight 4.7-inch quick firers and there is a substantial armour protection of vital parts. They are under construction at tho Crichton Vulcan yard at Abo, Finland, and are due to be completed in 1933. The smallest capital ships in the world, they are said to be able to withstand the broadside flre of tho largest cruisers and are more strongly protected. They are being built by native labor and largely from domestic materials, as were four submarines now in the Finnish navy. Drumming Up Business British hat makers are circularizing banks and insurance "companies asking that they compel their employees to wear hats to business. The- hnt makers passed a resolution that hats add a finishing touch to personal appearance and "dignity to the position they hold."

CHAPTER IX.���������Continued Jean's heart ga.ve a violent. throb, and the laughter went suddenly out ���������of her voice as she repeated blankly: "To forget Montavan?" "Please. I said���������and did���������a few mad things that day,.we spent together. .It was to be an uncounted ���������day, you know, and���������oh, well, the air of the Alps is heady! I want you to forgive" me���������and to blot out"all remembrance of it.!' He seemed" to speak with some effort, yet each word was uttered deliberately, searing its way into her consciousness like a red-hot iron. The curt,. difficultly spoken sentences couid only signify one thing��������� that he had meant nothing, not even :goodtj honest comradeship, that day at Montavan. He had merely been amusing himself with a girl whom lie never expected to meet again, and now that circumstances had so ; unexpectedly brought them together he was clearly anxious that she should be under no misapprehension in the matter. Jean's pride writhed beneath, the :insult of it. 1* was **** *"*"c"r'J_ ���������**"��������� feared she might make some* claim upon This regard and. had "hastened-to rwam her, almost in so many words, mot to set a fictitious value upon anything that had occurred between them. The glamour was indeed born .from, her stolen day on the moun-j tains! The whole memory of it, -above all, the memory of that pulsing moment of farewell, would henceforth^ .be soiled and vulgarized���������converted into a rather sordid little episode which she would have gladly blotted ���������out from amongst the concrete l_ap- jpenings of life. ' The feminine instinct against self- betrayal whipped her into quick .speech... "I've no wish to forget that you Ypractically. saved my..-..life,?' she said. VI shall. always"���������lightly-���������"feel, very xauch obliged for that." r "You exaggerate my share in the Y3_r_atters" he replied carelessly. "You ���������would liave extricated yourself from your difficulties without nay assistance, I have no doubt. Or, more truly"���������with a short laugh���������"you would never have got into them." He -said no more, but let out the ���������car and they shot forward into the gathering dusk. Presently they approached a pair of massive iron gates admitting to the manor drive, and as these were opened in response to a shrill hoot from Tormarin-s horn - tho car swung round: ������hto an avenue ���������of elms, the bare boughs, interlacing overhead, making a black network .against the moonlit sky. Still in silence they approached \r the house, its dim grey bulk...lapna- ^ ing indeterminately through ithe eye- - ning mist, studded here and there with a glowing shield of brahge from '. some unshaded window, knd "almost before Tormarin; h^d; pulled ; up the car, the front, door I-flew <opeh and a white riband of light streamed out from the hall behind. Jean was coscious of two or three figures grouped in tlie open doorw.ay, dark against the welcoming blaze of light, then one iof them detached itself from thc group and hastened forward with outstretched hands. "Here you are at last!" " ' For an instant Jean hesitated, 'doubtful as to whether the speaker could bo Lady Anne. The voice which addressed her was so amazingly' young���������clear nnd full of vitality like tho voice of a girl. Then the light flickered oh to hair as white, as ir it had bepn powdered, and she realized" th at this surprisingly younjg voice must belong to her hostess. 1*1 was so soriy I could not moot you at the station myself,'' continued Lady Anne, loading tho way Into, the liouso, "But a tiresome visitor turned up���������ono of those people who mover know whon It'a time to grc> ��������� and I simply couldn't; got away without forcibly ejecting her." '���������i In tho fullor light of tlie hall, JToan dincornod in Lady Anne's appearance aamethlng of that same quality of inherent youth apparent In hor voice. The keen,. humorous grey eyes ber neath their black, arched brows were alertly vivacious, and the quite white hair served to. enhance, rather than otherwise, the rose-leaf texture of her skin. Many a much - younger, woman had envied Lady Aiihe iter complexion; it was sib obviously genuine, owing nothing at all toKart_:'!' f, "And now"���������Jean felt herself pulled gen Uy into the light���������"let me have a good look at you. Oh, yes!" ��������� Lady Anne laughed amusedly���������"you have just his chin with that delicious little cleft in it. JBut your eyes and hair are Jacqueline's." She leaned forward a little and kissed Jean warmly. "My dear, you're yery welcome at Staple. There,is nothing I could have wished more them to have' you here ���������except that you could have prevailed upon Glyn to bring you himself." -'When; you have quite finished going into the ancestral details of Miss Peterson's features, madonna, perhaps you will present me." Lady Anne laughed good-humour- ediy. "Oh, this is my pushful younger son, Jean. (I'm certainly going to call you Jean without asking whether I may!) You've already made acquaintance with Blaise, v This is Nick." Nick Brennan was as unlike his half-brother as he could possibly be ���������t-dl, and fairland blue-eyed, with a Tmtmm+a*aOi*VA'l-iT **.%���������*������ ������3^^4flP W. N. U. 1021 of not having a care in the world. Jean concluded he must resemble closely, the dead Claude Brennan, since, except for a~ certain family similarity in cut of feature, he bore little resemblance to his mother. "Blaise has had an hour's start of me in getting into your good graces, Miss Peterson," ne said, shaking | hands. "I consider it very unfair, but of course I had to be content ���������- as usual���������with the younger son's portion." Jean liked him at once. His merry, lazy blue eyes smiled friendship at lier, and she felt sure? they should get on together. She could not imagine Nick "glooming" about the world, as one of the women at the hotel had declared his half-brother did. ��������������������������� It occurred to her that it would simplify matters if both he and Lady Annewere made awareat once of her former meeting with Blaise, so- she took the opportunity offered by Nick's speech. "He's had more than that;" she said gaily. "Mr. Tormarin and I had already met before���������at Montavan." "At Montavan?" Lady Anne gave vent to an ejaculation of amused impatience. "If we had only known! Blaise could have accompanied you back and saved you all the bothersome details of the journey. But we had ho idea where he was. He went off in his usual way"���������smiling a shade ruefully���������"merely condescending to Inform his yearning family that he was going abroad for a few weeks." Then, as Tormarin, having surrendered the car to chauffeur, joined the group In the hall, she turned to him and continued with.a faint note of expostulation in her voice.: "You never told us you had already met Miss PetcrS phi Blaise." '"I dicln'tkfclow it'htysfclf till I found her marooned on the platform ������ at Coonibe Eavie," he returned. His eyes, meeting Jean's, flickered wltli brief amusement as he added nonchalantly: "I did not catch Miss Peterson's name when we met at Montavan." "No, wo were not formally introduced," supplemented Jean. "But Mi*. Tormarin Was obliging enough to pull me out of an eijjjht-foot deep snowdrift up" in tho mountains so we allowed that to count instead." "What ldck!" exclaimed Nick with fervour. "Yes, it was rather," agreed jean, "To bo smothored in a snowdrift isn't" exactly, tlio, form of extinction I should chooso." "Oh,.! meant luc3|< for Blaise," explained Nick, "Opportun.tiles of playing knlgh.t-erront are few and far between nowadays"���������regretfully. Thoy all laughed, and then Lady Anno carried Jean on? upstairs, Here ubo found that a charming bedroom, with u alUing-roon_ coimucl- ing, had been allotted hor���������"so that you'll have a den of your own to talco refuge in when you'ro tired of us," as Lady Anno explained, Jean felt touched by tlio kindly thought. It takes tho understanding hostess to admit frankly that a guest , mmy nnmctlmea crave for the solitude of her own company���������and to see that she can get it. The rooms which were to constitute Jean's personal domain were delightfully decorated, old-world tapestries and some beautiful old prints striking just-the right "Tiote in conjunction with the waxen-smooth mahogany of Chippendale. From the bedroom, where. a maid .was already busying herself unstrapping the traveller's manifold boxes, there opened off a white-tiled bathroom frankly and hy- gienically modern, and here Jean was soon splashing joyfully. By the time she had finished her bath and dressed for dinner-she felt as though the fatigue of the journey had slipped from her like an outworn garment. The ���������-. atmosphere at dinner was charmingly;,^OTmai, and presently, when the naeal w_as at an end, the party of four.adjourned into the hall for coffee. As Jean's eyes roved round the old-fashioned, raftered place, she was conscious of a little intimate thrill of pleasure. With its walls panelled'3n Jacobean oak, and its open hearth where a roaring fire of logs sent blue and green flames leaping up into the chimney's cavernous mouth, it reminded her of the great dining-hall at Beirnfels. But here there was a pleasant air of English, cosiness, and it was abvious that at Staple the hall had been adopted as a living-room and furnished with an eye to comfort. There were wide, cushioned window-seats, and round the hearth, clustered deep, inviting1 Says Canada Strong In Day OSJTridl Bank Of Montreal Heads Review Situation At Bank's Annual Met tin* chairs, while eVe_.j. y._i6ic vtSTS' u_c *������..= tie, pleasant, home-like evidences ��������� an open book flung down here, a piece of unfinished needlework there ��������� of daily use and occupation. . <To Be Continued). In the speeches of Sir Charles Gor- ] don; president; and Jackson Dodds/ joint general manager, at the annual meeting of the Bank of _ Montreal, comment was made on the inherent strength being exhibited by Canada In the face of world depression, especially in regard to the banking structure of the country. Sir Charles while declining to prophesy as to tire immediate outlook said that taking the long view "There is every reason to look forward with confidence to emerging stronger and more prosperous than ever .from, the conditions that now prevail," and Mr. Dodds remarked, "It would be rash indeed to speak with assurance of the prospects of the coming year, but it is surely permissible to say that when international confidence and co-operation are restored, and commerce in conse. quence improves, Canada will be among the flrst to benefit." Sir Charles Gordon nssds HHrfr-cnlas. reference to the manner in which the low price levels have affected famazing, lumbering, mining, and newsprint manufacture, remarking in regard to the latter that' there was reason to believe that a better condition was being ushered in by the profit arising from the j premium on New York funds and from consolidation of companies for the purpose of reduc- \ placing them on the land. Ing overhead expense > and effecting mere economical distribution of the product- While expressing tlie < opinion that Canada's large foreign obligations would tend to prevent an early return of the-Canadian dollar to par, he said The had no doubt that it would return to par. As factors already working to that end he remarked that the adverse balance of trade had been reduced and that in the five months to October 31st last there was each, month an excess of domestic exports over imports. Jackson Dodds, joint General Manager with W. A- Bog, in presenting the balance sheet reviewed the progress made by the Bank during the fiscal year. Remarking that "we should be thankful that we in Canada are as.well off as we are," he said business, nevertheless, was at. a low ebb, and a halt must be called to mounting expenditures- by federal, provincial and municipal authorities, as tiiese only aggravated-the situation^ Referring to the fact that the downward movement of prices liad reached,, record levels, during ��������������� the year, he pointed out the Impotence of a Central iBank in maintaining a stable price, level ��������� as demonstrated by TJnited States experience.

Special thanks- are due to Miss Lister for the manner in which she has trained the youngsters and fixed up the costumes for their show.

People of many races, black, white and yellow, speaking: a veritable babel of j^aaguages, and of many creeds were, for the time being, brought together as one great family to enjoy an entertainmnet to which fifteen nations contributed and in which, all participated. The event was a world-wide radio hook-up to commemorate an. achievement of thirty years ago which has revolutionized methods of communication, transformed social conditions, altered our forms of entertainment and instruction, and been the means of saving countless numberss of lives. Thirty years ago, (December 12, 1901), at noon, a young man of vision, .tv-V.. -^__������ .-=.__V_ 4-v._-_ _.*__.v.__������-.-.-.r������-n -. ��������� J n_^-. A ____������__<_ -_s- ���������.-*.������**. __&^ :._ ot. i-____ annnir on Signal Hill, Newfoundland, and waited patiently for something to happen; something which, to the knowledge of man, had never before occurred. He was Marconi awaiting to convince an incredulous world that it was possible to send a signal across the Atlantic Ocean by wireless telegraph. Marconi and two assistants waited until in the earphones they heard at the appointed minute the "click, click, click," the three dots of the letter "S" in the Morse Code, which had been the signal agreed upon to be sent from Poldhu, Cornwall, Engiand. From that historic moment to December 12, 19S1, the world had been constantly growing smaller,���������time and space were eliminated. The pressing of a key eighteen hundred miles away had been heard in the merest fraction of a second. In the thirty years wiiich have passed, vast strides have been made in world communication,, but co wireless message has crossed the Atlantic any faster than that first one of Marconi. Today we sit in our homes before ornate radio sets and by the simple turning of a dial shift ourselves from the music and speech of New York to that of San Francisco; from Ottawa to Vancouver; from Edmonton to Mexico, or, as on December 12 last, we listened to speech and music from l������ondon, England, then Brussels, then Paris, Berlin, Rome, Warsaw, _Sew York, Washington, Ottawa, Japan, Hawaii, Venezuela, Brazil, the Argentine. We heard a message being transmitted from New York to San Francisco,' from whence it was sent to Java, thence to Amsterdam, and we. heard it being received back in New York after circling the globe in one minute and 47 seconds. We heard English., French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and other languages spoken. All because Marconi's great experiment of December 12, 1901, succeeded. The world was astounded then; it marvels still. Following that first signal came the development of wireless telegraphy, then wireless telephony: was made possible by the invention of the vacuum tube, and now television is just around the corner. The vacuum tube led to the discovery of the photoelectric cell, that marvellous sensitive little tube which made talking pictures possible, which opens and closes doors, counts vehicles ;on the highways, and does many other most astonishing things. Airplanes are guided by wireless as they wing their way through space; the wireless "SOS" call brings hel*"1 to stricken ships; the radio summons medical or other assistance into the far fj.o_-.e_- north; Kis Majesty ths King addresses his people in every portion of his far-flung Dominions; church services and the finest of the world's music and other forms of entertainment are carried into the most isolated and humble home. But as one listened on December 12 last, to the nations talking to and entertaining each other, switching from one continent to another almost quicker than the mind can think, the conviction grew that, great as all these achievements are, something even greater and grander must inevitably result from Marconi's amazing experiment. Will not this annihilation of time and space, this breaking down of "barriers to communication between peoples and nations, this development of a common means of expression between peoples, also lead to the breaking down of old suspicions, prejudices and jealousies? Shall we not learn to discard the old, mis-used word "foreigner" and, instead, come to regard those who live under other flags, who speak languages other than our own, and who worship at altars somewhat different from those at which we may worship, as neighbours, friends, and brothers? In honoring Marconi for his great achievement, may we not also hope that over and above all the material benefits he thus conferred upon us, he has been an effective instrument in the hands of an all-wise Providence in promoting the brotherhood of man and the federation of the world? Where Children Are Educated Family I_afe Destroyed On tie Eajgt side of the Ural, tn the neighborhood of the enormous ore depositst .of ther so-called Magnet Mountain, a commufiis tic town will arise in the middle of the Steppes. The town will be given the name of Magnitogorsk and will have a population of 200,000. The town must be finished in 1937. The Frankfort architect, Mr. E. May, has drawn up the plans. It will be built oa st spacious scale, with many piarks. The Russian Peoples Commissioner writes as follows:'-��������� "The dwellings for all inhabitants will be the same. Till their 16th year, all children will be educated in a town- institution where the parents will be allowed to visit them but not too frequently. The fathers and the mothers name may not bo used.

At a meeting of the Nobel Insti- tue at Oslo, Norway, Professor Fred- ertk S tang, president of the Nobel committee of the Norwegian parliament, announced each would receive one-half of the amount of the prize. The amount of each prize varies with the Income from the fund established under the will of A. B. Nobel. In recent years the amount has been In the neighborhood of $40,000. United States citizens who have previously won the peac award- are: Theodore Roosevelt,' In 1906; Elihu Root, In 1912; Woodrow Wilson, in 1919; Ambassador Charles G.

Frogs Take Place Of Money In Trade Deal Sir George Beharrell, prominent industrialist, of -London, England, described how a business deal was put through with frogs used for money. "One of the companies I am. connected with had money laid in currency in a ��������� certain foreign country and a complete embargo as to forwarding money to that country was made," he said. "By mere chance this company came in contact with a professor of anatomy who was importing for vivisection purposes live frogs fronts this particular country and the change was made from currency to frogs. "Could anything illustrate more clearly the lengths to which business men have to go today in order to carry on?" Airship Bu!lt On Principle Which Birds Soar After twenty years of study of the flight of birds J. H. Montgomery of St.' Gabriel has apparently solved the secret o������ the flight of birds. He lias discovered that in the wings of every soaring birds is a power plant, with whtch the bird has nothing whatever to do farther than his ability to control it. Montgomery said: "Contrary to the prevalent view of scientists, birds do" not fly by taking advantage of air -currents, but their power to soar is due to the structure of their pinions; which are filled with thous- sands of vortices which catch the air." According to Montgomery, the same principles by which birds soar could be appiEed to a new type of airship, which, would require no motor, but could be regulated to fly at any speed up to 350 miles an hour.

An Unusual Accident An Expensive Position Necessary For London's Lord Mayor To Havo Private Means The city of London allows its Lord Mayor ������10,000 for expenses, which normally amount to about ������25,000. Banquets, luncheons, civic entertainments and the charities account for a considerable part of this sum. Tho Lord Mayor can count upon at least three public functions in every two days and ho has to make n speech, with few exceptions, at each. He works hard and his public luncheons and dinners mainly consist of watching other people eat. At the end of thc year thoro is usually a baronetcy a-waitlng the Lord Mayor. Sometimes a peerage.

Ottawa, Ont.-���������The wheat quota-under consideration by the British Government is 15 per cent, wheat grown in Great Britain. 70 .per cent, wheat grown in other parts of the Empire,, and 15 per cent, foreign-grown wheat. These were the figures given by Premier RyB. Bennett in an interview following his return from London. This Is '& coiisicLeysbiv lar^ep auota. of. ;,Ep_p_re-grown wheat than the figures given in a.London cable; whicb quoted. 'The Miller," official organ of the British milling trade.."The Miller* ' forecast. the- quota which, the British Government would propose aa 15 per cent, domestic, 55 per cent. Dominion-grown -wheat, and 30 per cent, foreign. The suggestion here is that confusion has arisen as to the percentage all tbe __������o______i������aH. chiefly Canada anrj Australia, would furnish and Canada's proportion alone. Informat;cn here is that it is estimated Canada would furnish approximately 80 per cent, of the Dominions' quota or about 55 per cent, of the wbeat used in Great Britain. This is tbougbt to be the reason the figure 55 per cent. has crept in. There is known to be a considerable feeling on the part of the millers in Great Britain that the situation could better be met by a tariff than, a quota, and substantial support in this- view is said to be found among members of parliament. A small tariff against foreign wheat, giving" empire grown wheat a preference, ~is suggested sn many quarters in England. iJiSv.; Government '!T&': '��������� Ann ounce ."':Per-' ��������� '^""-T.T . sohnel In Xear Future -��������� Washington, yt_0_C- ��������� The United States Government is expected to aa- nounce in the immediate future the personnel of its delegation to the general disarmament conference at Geneva in February.
