Indeed. it is a gracious act to permit Dr_ Dunning to return to his native shire and country with all the honour and distinction of holding the second highest portfolio in the Government of the Dominion to which he emigrated as a poor boy many years ago.

Though every boy may not start life here with 1 marslial’s baton in his ltiiapsack, at least he may have a M.P.’s nomination, especially so, of course, if he be in the happy position of Dr. Dunning's colleague in Queen's of having an astute brotlicr-in—la\v who has trod the path before him. Everyone will wish Dr. Dunning an enjoyable holiday and a complete restoration to health, tliough it would be too much to expect i that he would sufficiently recover to undergo the rigors of another election campaign. It may be, too, that the Prime Minister had an additional reason to that to which he gave utterance for insisting upon Dr. Dunning retaining his port- folio, namely the difficulty of finding a succes-

Mayors And U nemploymenl

About three weeks ago, Mayor Lewis, Ot- tawa, heading a delegation, presented to Mr. rllslcy, in the latter's capacity of Acting Minister of Finance, a. proposal that the Dominion sum- mon a conference on unemployment. He cited such organizations as the Canadian Manufac- l tiircrs' Association, the Canadian Construction ’Couucil, and the Canadian Chamber of Com- merce. \\'ith the rcpicseiitatives of these bodies would be spokesmen for provincial and muni- cipal administrations. The conference would examine thl: unciiiploymeut problem, chicfiy as it affected urban centres. At this meeting “a campaign of action would he agreed upon which, among other things, would provide for the call- ing of similar meetings in every municipality tliroiiglioiit the Dominion by the mayor of the municipality,” Mr. Lewis said. Such meetings would he participzitcd in by local industrial lead- ers. They would “appraise the situation and examine its employment possibilities,” he sug- gested. Publicity and organizational plans would be distributed, and all efforts bent towards solv- ing the iin.~mploymeut problem. Mr. Ilsley told the deputation he had consulted his ministerial colleagues, and theiconcliision reachcd was that it would be better for the Federation of Canadian Mayors to sumnioit the conference itself. The Dominion would assist them. The Government would furnish all statistics required on the whole matter, and would also make available to the conference the services of the public officials most directly concerned with the problem, said Mr. Ilsley. This week another delegation wait- ed on the Government, and the same laissez-faire policy was recommended.

debacle in wheat prices, comments the VVall Street Journal, offers the ultimate commentary

tion of a cash commodity. Within twenty-four hours news from Canada and the Argentine "il- lustrates vividly the fallacy into which the gov- ernments of many wheat-producing countries, including our own, have fallen.” The Canadian and Argentina governments are facing severe losses as a result of this fallacy, besides having to contemplate carrying a substantial volume of unsold wheat. It will be recalled that the United States wheat subsidy was given under the acknowldeged leadership of Canada, It was imposed after, and because of the Canadian guar- antee. Those who profit, according to the Wall Street Journal, are not the farmer producers but the importing countries, and if governments of thesennporting countries choose to impose coun- tervailing duties, the advantage of the subsidy goes to them ratlie; than ‘to their citizens. as

Here is President Roosevelt's opinion of the Boy Scout Movement as it is carried on in the United States: “I am very keen about the Scout movement. I am keen about it because it is so thoroughly American. It is as American as In- dian corn. And I'll tell you why,—if is orga- ized and run by American citizens in their cap- acity as private citizens. It is not supported by the Government. It is not directed by the Gov- ernment. Nobody is forced to contribute'to it by law. No one is ordered to join it by edict, It is composed of all the youth of the country. There is no distinction. It makes no differen- tials on account of creed~protestant, Catholic and Jew, all belong. It makes no differentials on account of race-—-coloured and white folks belong." It preaches tolerance, not intolerance. It glorifies peace, not war. Above all, it is to ‘me the essence of democracy, in that it teaches that liberty is not license; in that it teaches that
