flown at the HEpblUTI Government's instigation, to test out public opin- ion. Evidently that opinion was un- favourable. So Mr. Hepburn right- eously announces his ‘persona?’ opposition to the proposal.

An amusing anticiimax is pro- vided by the dear old Toronto Globe, which has had to swallow its prohibition convictions and give silent consent to freer wine and’ ‘beer under Liberal regime, but which rejoices in Premier Hepburns "clear-cut announcement" anent hi5 opposition to liquor advertising.

In the Globe's opinion "it would‘ be useless to teach temperance in

BRITISH WOOL IMPORTS

In addressing the annual meet- lng of the Canadian Woollen and‘ Knit Goods Manufacturers Associa- tion in Toronto rcccntly, the presi- dent, Mr. H. Barrett, dealt parti- cularly with two questions that in- terest the public as well as the wool- leh industry. ‘These subjects arc the status of the British exporter in the Canadian market and the general effect of changing condi- tions in the domestic industry. Deal- ing with the British imports, Mr. Barrett stated that his figures would probably be surprising to Canado ians, and even to the British ex- porters also. Canadian purchases of wool tops from British manu- facturer rose from 5,600,000 pcunds in 1931 in 6,800,000 n 1932 and B,- 500,000 in 1933.
