When the Imperial Conference re- sumes at Ottawa, the coming summer, Canada, it is reports-d in London cab- les, will be offered a wheat quota preference in the British market in exchange for the Canadian market for British hard coal.

But L; ‘there any gOOd reason why millions of ions of coal should be imported into this coal-producing Dominion? Assuredly not. Recent tests carried out in this City prove both the superiority and economy of our own bituminous coke over imported anthracite fuels: And here as in all other cases, “charity begins at home."

One of Canada's gicatest and most urgent problems is providing sufficient work for her own mining population, and this problem will be solved through a process of juggling with the Canadian coal market. Here is a country, possessing vast almost unlimited, depoisis of cook-and still, Canadians actually import more coal than is mined in this Dominion!

An Associated Press depatch says that Gandhi will "g0 to the second Round-Table Con- ference in London with the undivid- ed strength o.‘ the convention and India's millions behind hint." This is undiluted nonsence. The All-India Congress party, despite its name, claims no more than 300,030 adher- ents. India's latest census shows a population of 350,000,000. Granted that the party has the strength of organization. but even so its direct influence barely touches the millions of India. Either its name or its propaganda has led the Associated Press into grevious error.

An interesting estimate of the num- ber of Jews in the world has been made by the Jewish Chronicle. Ac- cording to this account the world has roundly fifteen million Jews. their distribution being: Europe, 9,500,000; Asia, 600.000; Africa, 500,000; Ameri- ca, 4.600,'J000. The number in Aus- tralia and other parts of the South Seas is negligible, perhaps 25.000. In all countries the Jews make good citizens and contribute line artists, musicians, writers, and itatesmen. Rich Jews are often exceedingly gen- erous as public benefactors.
