In describing the reaction ofthe London pressto Mr. Coolidges ad- drssshthe Inndon correspondents oi various American newspapers use such phrases as ‘painful-and su - prising."

The New York World, ior instance. pic- tures Mr. Coolidge asfnmbidextr- ous", chalking up his policies on two iblaoboards placed side by side. His left hand writes, “Treaty to outlaw War," while his right hand lnscribes, "More warships." ‘

Mr. Lloyd George h quoted by the New York Times as saying: ‘ It is no use outlawing war when we are building cruisers, heavy guns. and bombing mach- ines. and turning out the most poisonous gases. All Europe is engaged in it, and even Presi- ~= ‘. dent Coolidge is joining in.

The Dominions know comparatively little oi unemployment, but are all crying out ior- more immigrant set- tiers. ohc oi Canada's greatest problems is the exodus of tens oi thousands oi her people to the Un- ited Stutes.
