There can be no question about the sharp falling off in our imports from the Empire. But there is no indication that this trade has suf- fered more seriously than our pur- chases from other parts of the world. m fact the srinkage in the volume of imports as a whole has been only half as great as that in domestic distribution."

Dr. VKIein quotes figures to show that u... year ea poi-l. cent oi this Dominica's imports were from the Republic. and since 1913 the United States’ share in the import trade of India, Ceylon and Malays has risen from 8 per cent to 6 Der cent. In Austrafa and New Zealand in the same time it has risen from 10 per cent to l5 per cent and in South Africa from 9 per cent to 14 per cent.

In view of these facts, it is not derstand why Uncle Sam is so keenly interested in the outcome of the Imperial conference which if successful, may mean a

substantial alteration in his trade with many parts oi the Empire.

GERMAN ELECTIONS

The result of the elections in Germany is bewildering to Canad- ian readers by reason of the hum. ei-ous parties which have attained mushroom growth in that country in recent months. and whose pol- icies. if they have any, it is prac- tically impcssible to distinguish. What. for example, is the differ- .. the National Social- ists, the German Nationalisis, the Christian Socialists, the Pqiullsfs, the Centrisis. and the Ewnomjo hefty? Then there are the Com- munists, the Bevan-ions, the Ger. man National People; Party, m; Agricultural party, the wddle Class Party. and several "minor" parties, It 1e “weir mnrisinr. amid so much class Doliticl. that no party wes-ableto win a’ majority in Sun- day's election contest, It f; ovidme that the National-Socialists led by Hitler are in the lead, with 229 seats of 569 in the new Reichstag; but as Hitler's strength represents 0111i’ 77 Per cent of thelentlr; m; it must also be apparent that with. out the formation of a coalition government another election will have to be held in the near future to decide whether the Hitlerites or the "neutral cabinet" of Von Plben shall rule.

‘Ihisisagreatageiiorlheliltle critics. There is much that is yrrong throughout the world: in fact the world seems to be out of joint. Bow easy it is then to blame somebody for the mess. And who in Canada is more naturally to be blamed than the Prime Minister and his government? Industrial and financial conditions throughout the world have never been as bad ls they are today. Mr. Bennett has been at the head of Canadian af- fairs practically since the slump began—then why not blame him? 0f course he has nothing to do with the outside world or its man- agement, but that does not matter to the little critiw. By a stretch of imagination it may be assumed, if there is sufficient ignorance to back it up, that it is all his doing. There's a great deal of ignorance in the world Canada doubtless, has its share of it. The appeal to these will strike home somewhere and the appeal is being kept up. It is conceded in Great Britain and elsewhere throughout the Empire that Canadahas negotiated the period of depression more success- fully than any other part of the wide flung Iknpire, but it would not d0 for the little critics to ad- mit this. Blame the Bennett policy, blame the Conservativegovern. ment and like persistent throwing of mud, some of it will stick. That portion of the Liberal press which has, adopted this species oi politi- cal warfare is not helping their party.

A trusted employee of Bache and Co., the well known New York bro- kers, is revealed as a deiaulter to the amount of more than half I million. The deialcations extended over fourteen years but were not discovered until the‘ depremion caused a searching investigation. The defauiter had spent much of the money on wine and women. the balance going in stock specula- tion.

If, as reported, British and Ca- nadian woolien and cotton textile interests have reached an agree- ment, then a greet help will be given to the work of the Imperial Economic Conference. Because it is in respect of textiles and steel that agreement is most necessary be- fore some real preferential plan can be worked out.

When you think oi the various or- gans in the body. you may think of the heart and oi how it pumps the life-giving blood to all parts of the body: of the lungs and how they purify this blood; of the stom- achasit actsasasortoffueltank to hold a supply of food for the time being end partly dilute some of the food; of the small intestine where the food gets mixed properly with digestive juices so that it can be absorbed into the blood. You'll notice that I haven't men- tioned the liver, and the reason is that the liver enters into so many different kinds of work in the body, that it practcially enters in some way into every body process. Naturally a healthy liver is worth much to every cell in the body. Notwithstanding its importance, or rather because its work is so im- portant, it is actually possible for more than half of the liver to be damaged and yet it is able to do its work fairly well in the body.

No one, says the New York Times, with a. spark of historical imagination can fail to be impres- sed by certain aspects of the Im- perial Conference at Ottawa-it is s living demonstration of the W" culiar and continuing power of the British Empire. Under the new title of the British Commonwealth of Nations, it preserves much of its old prestige ‘and gtamor in holding together peoples and governments representing so vast a portion of the earth's surface. something of the old pomp and glitter in which Queen Victoria delighted may have departed from such Imperial 85' therings, but their true significance remains as a standing tribute to the political genius of the British race. It knows how to yield and compromise and adjust itself to the changing demands of demvm cy, but still manages to hold its scattered colonies and Dominions in an unforced loyalty to the mother of Parliaments and of free institu- tions. In its amazing vitality it may be said of the British Empire that the more it changes, the more it remains the same thing.

Hon. Henry T. Bainey, Demoorl tic leader in the House of Repre- sentatives in Congress, is advising the United States to be more friendly with Russia, as the only probable ally in a time when ep- psrently world diplomacy is com- bining against the Washington G0- vernment. Mr. Rainey should re. fleet that for this the United states has itself to blame. The Rawley-Smoot tariff has been the last sire/w m the diplomatic ioid that the United States has laid up- on the back of the over-laden world. Commenting upon Mr. Raineyh iemarks an exchange says: As long as Uncle Sam refuses payment in kind and insists upon gold, he may just as well make friends with Russia, and find out how much available gold there is in that revolutionary country.

_ Bennett & the Conference

‘ (Toronto Saturday Night)

One of the best auguries for a successful issue oi the Ottawa Con- ference is the happy atmospherei created at the very outset. As most. readers are aware them were in I‘ ’ preliminary attempts, some of them verging/on the ridiculous to make the great event a political; football, and personally score oi! Mr. Bennett and his colleagues in the Government of Canada. Bome- thing of the same sort happened in Great Britain, and it is very prob- able that the other Dominlons have witnessed similar attempts. Those who were anxious to throw a mon- key wrench into the work before the machinery of the Conference could get well under way, would have been extremely disappointed had they been in Ottawa on the after- noon of July 21st, after the impres- sive initial proceedlngs were over. They would have heard universal expressions of approval for the key note address oi Mr. Bennett, and the responses it evoked from official spokesmen of the other sections of the far flung Commonwealth oi na- tions.

It was plain that all the particl- pants in a gathering of immense historical as well as economic 1m- portanee are met, not to wrangle and urge impossible proposals, but to reach solutions that will stunn- late trade not only within the Em- pire but in the world at large. Bo far as Canada was concerned par- tisan considerations were set aside and eminent Liberals were found praising the utterances of Mr. Ben- nett as highly as his party friends. Nearly every delegation presented in terms that were guarded yet un- mistakeable in meaning concrete proposals which will receive the most careful discussion. But the speech of the Canadian Prime Min- ister had the further merit that it dissipated widespread and concerted eflorts to create an amosphere hos- tile to the Conference. One of the most popular slanders which had for weeks been circulated in Great Britain, and accepted by some pub- lications of high standing, was that Mr. Bennett was the tool of private

Canada give nothing in return for any favors which lhe in common with the other Dominion: and Col- onies, might obtain in the British market.

Mr. Bennett's proposals, the clear- est and most direct heard at the opening session were a complete refutation oi that slander and that was why his . ‘ appealed to fair-minded Liberals quite as deep- iy as, to fair-minded Conservatives. In fact everyone realised that Can ada had a leader and the Confer- ence a head who spoke for the whole people and not for my favor- ed or privileged interest. A good many prophets of evil on both sides‘ of the Atlantic must have been chagrined by a conviction of error when they read the Canadian pro- posals, which, in a nutshell were ss follows :

(1) The retention cf existing pre- ferences, and (3) their effective ek- tension to those other natural and , ocessed products of whlch' the

(3) Increased preferences in re- spect -oi a selected list oi articles in which Great Britain is especially equipped to supply the Canadian market "without injuring efficient Canadian enterprise."

Well may it be asked, what could be fairer than that? In these pro- Dosals there is not an ambiguous or equivocal phrase. Canada through her Prime Minister nailed her col- ors to the mast as a fair-trader. All who know the Canadian political situation must have been impressed by the enthusiasm and goodwill ex.
