The same policy will be discussed at Ottawa, but on this orxasion the British delega- fion will be at one with those of the Dominions on the all-impor- tant question of fiscal reform.

The success of the Lsusnn-ue Conference will prove an incen- tive to Imperial statesnen to affect a further and, from our point of view, a greater succem at Ottawa. Hiovuld the decision estab- lish that scheme of Irnperal eco- nqmir; unity which ls the ultimate aim of the Conference, it is very likely that the world will accept the triumph as an example and proceed to attempt to emulate it in

fairs. At Ottawa there will, of course, be displayed a sincere mutual goodwill which 1n normal times ls not likely to be engender- ed in negotiations between States that have not tihe Imperialllnks of brotherhood and racial tradi- tion to hold them together. The nations of the Empire in this res- pect are very fsr ahead of the rest of the world-so far ahead that, without losing sight each of its own particular interests, they can act specifically for the good of the whole Commonwealth.

BRITAIN BOOMING

m view 0f the silccess of Lous- nnne it may be as well to empha- sle the fact that British trade is not only on the up-grade but bet- lr than that of any country in the world. Bion. Neville Chamber- lain, British Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, wok occasion w point this out on the eve of the Conference which h, attended with Premier Ramsay MacDonald. Dllflllfl the period from January 1'to April 1 I932, the precentage‘ of fall in im- ports into the Uhited Kingdom was l2, but the United States of "America had s. fall of 30 per cent, France 35 per cent and Ger- many of 36 per cent, and if you take the figures oi’ exports, whereas the French urpuris fell off by 38 per cent, the United States by 36 per cent, and Germany by B6 per cent, the exports of the United Kingdom fell only by '1 per cent.

0f course, part of that great fall in values is due to s. differ- ence in prices, and, although we have not got complete figures showing the volume of trade, yet if we compare the first three months of this year, with the first

GOOD ADVICE

Through the ohmic Minister of Highways, some excellent advice has been given to school youngsters to . make their vacation safe. It is Id- vice which adults as well as child- ren may well take to heart in this Province as well as in Ontario!

Obey the traffic officer at all times. He is there to make the street safe for you. If o. crossing has no traffic officer. "be your own semi.- phore." If ens are coming, say to yourself, "stop." 1f the way is clear, say to yourself, "Go." Remember that people are apt to follow blind- 1y where mother leads.

If you get caught in the traffic,

interests first, Morning Post: British agriculture, for example, is the first concern w the British Government; but when that interest is secured there re- mains the great market, notably in cereals, which British agriculture cannot supply and in which the Dominions might be given prefer- ence. In return we seek a more open market for British goods. Such are. the elements of an arrangement which is within our grasp now if the statesmanshlp of Ottawa ls equal to the occasion, and which, if ' statesmanshlp fails, may never be attainable again.

Commerce of the Nation ssys that among the major considerations st the Imperial Economic Conference will be the stabilizing of Empire currency. If the yardstick in Can- ada today ls thirty-six inches, in Australia thirty inches and tomor- row forty-twd inches, it would be next to impossible to do business. It is the same with currency. With fluctuating exchange rates between Empire countries, there exists a. dc- ierrent to trade. A stabilized rela- tionship between dollars and pounds would be invaluable to business and it is believed that it would not be

EDITORIAL NOTES

Many tales hlVO been told re- garding the depression, and some have appeared rather fanciful. kw have, however, taken rank with the loan story that comes from Michi- gsn. It is related that in 1029, be-

fore the crash, s man ‘had s 0280,- 000 loan at a bank for which he hid deposited siockyalued then at $400,000. When the stock market executed a tell spin the bank sold him out, realising $330,000. The man's indebtedness WI thus wiped out, and he had A ssmooo m: credit. A little later thsbonk fall- ed. It was, however, reorganized.

Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt's promise to call s. world conference on tariffs and trade, 1f elected President, is not only pmof of rc- turning political sanity in the Unit- ed States. It is also proof that the impending Empire Trade Confer- ence at Ottawg, has already taught some of the political leaders of the United States s. real lesson. one great driving force behind the movement for concerted action to increase all-British trade has un- fluubtediv been the hostile tariff actions of the United States.

Mr. Coates was Minister of Justice 1919-20; Postmaster General and mnister of Tele- graphs 1919-26: Mlnister of Public Works 1920-26; Prime Minister 19- 25-28; Minister 0f Railways 1923- 28.

Coming from a family with s good political background, he first entered the House of Representa- tives 1n 1914. Early in 1916 found him serving in the European War as a 2nd Lieutenant; and after service in Egypt and France was invalided home.

Mr. Stewart is noted as an able

administrator. From 1921-28 he was Minister of Chlstoms; Minister of Internal Affa‘rs:

That body of yours-your health and life-wan get insurance by reg- illflr visits to your doctor and den- tist. Any cough, indigestion, short- ness of breath, lump, sore, infected teeth will thus be deteched before it is too late.

Rights Of Pedestrians (Mali and Empire)

We are told that the smallest worm will tum, being trodden on, and that doves will peck to safe- guard their bmod. And so it is not surprising to ‘learn that pedestrian- are organizing to protect their rights on roads and highways. An Ottawa despstch states that appli- cation has been made for letters of incorporation for the "Pedestrians Rights Association" for the purpose of protecting pedestrians from traf- fic dangers, instructing the general public and improving sud enforcing the laws. The down-trodden in Que- bec have already taken steps to assert their rights. ‘The Pedestrian! Rights A iation of the Pwvlncc of Quebec, Inc.," has been formed. It is stated that this association has the support of the traffic police and the Montreal Motorists‘ League.

Pedestrians will admit that the majority of motorists are careful drivers who give due consideration to the rights of others. It is the reckless and incompetent driving of a few which causes all the trouble. Since motor leagues and safety associations seem unable to restrain the bad actors, pedestrians are oom- Delled to take up arms in self-de- fence. Hitherto pedestrians have been obliged to act individually, ms few of them have been willing»!!! spend the time and money necessary to obtain results. As s mum!" body pedestrians will be in s bat-
