Addressing the Canadian Club of Montleal, John W. Dafoe, managing editor of the Manitoba Free Press, pointed out than. all the air high- ways of the "northern hemisphere pass through Canada, not the Unit- ed States. The route from New York ~10 the cities of Asia will pass not through San Francisco or other ports of the Pacific statics, but over the Canadian border up to Toronto and thence 1o ‘Nome. ‘The route from the central states to Europe will go north 1o Winnipeg, he added that not certain sections of Canada, but the whole of the Do- minion would benefit by the air traffic in question.

The once treeless prairies of the west are being planted .mm*e ex- lensively from year to year. The trees are grown 1n forest nursa-ies at Indian Head and thence trans- planted. The number sent out to farmers last spring was 8,873,650. The number of applicants to receive the trees was 7,452. All tree plent- ing ‘records were broken.

Some manufacturers understand how to get new business in a novel why. A case in p0int is that of a manufacturer of automobiles who laveht to the Congo country in cen- tral Africa, where there were no roads. Native chiefs are plentiful and allpowerful over their dusky subjects and are also quite wealthy in their way. To each of a number of these chiefs he presented an automobile and instructed him in driving it. They then found them- selves equipped with cars to travel but nowhere 1o go. Their subjecis were set to work making roads. Then competition started. Rich chief wanted to be the speed-king of his district, and the roads had to bc made fit for speeding. The result is that a motorist can travel for miles on modem highways in darkest Africa.

When the western provinces were fumed they ivere given much larger subsidies in proportion ‘to their population then the provinces east of the lakes. This was f01‘ the good reason that the natural re- sources in forests, coal and other llllllcs were retained by the Domin- ion. Now that these resources are being transferred to the provinces from which they had been withheld, i". was naturally thought that their federal subsidies would be reduced proportionately.

But the westerners will not con- scht to that. They want to hold the full subsidies they have along with the newly acquired resources. And it ls given out from Ottawa that in this contention they have the sup- port of high Judicial opinion and are assured of “the favorable con- sideration" o1 the Government.

The situation as It stands gives a

the smaller Atlantic provinces for increased support from the federal treasury. The matter will no doubt lead to an important dfsclmslon at

_in which n11 patriotic ciiiaens of the Maritlmes will take a lively interest.

Seldom have cloudy and stormy weather been more prevalent over n largo area in Europe and North America than 1n the few weeks past. This has revived the talk about sun- spots. The spots may or may not be thcrc, and when we cannot see the sun, we cannot see the spots. Bu: tile weather must be all right, being beyond human control.
