MORE CENSUS FIGURES

It will come as s. surprise to the average reader to learn that more than half of the people of Canada arc under the age of 25. ‘They num- bered 5.331.991. at the last census and those who were 25 over totalled 5,044,795. There were more persons of the age if ten years than any other :t_~','-.. '“'i-. ten-year- olds numbered 232,180 and the bab- ies of less than one year 202,088. The twenty-year-olds were 189 R89 and the twenty-fives 165,922.

More than half of the potential electorate, or to be more accurate. those who had reached the voting age of 21, were 40 and under. Of those of voting age who were under 40 the men numbered 1,506,143 and the women 1.399.228. Of those Just 40 the men numbered 81,176 and the women 73,010. Of those ovcr 40 the men numbered 1,506,592 and the women 1,298,437.

The number of persons who had passed the allotted span was 324,697 or 3.1 pcr ccrit of the population, those who had passed sixty 850,428 or 8.1 per cent, those who had pass- ed fifty 1.706.134 or 16.4 pcr cent, ‘and those who had gone beyond forty 2,937,444 or 26.3 per cent. Those who had reached an age beyond twenty- flve were 5,121,024 or 49.9 per cent.

The longevity of women is a much discussed question. It was not ‘until they had reached the octogen- Iarian age that the numberof wo- nicn living exceeded the men. 'I‘liere were 7,601 women of B0 and 7.013 men. The excess of old women over old men then continued. At the age of 90 there were 1,053 women and but 726 men. There were B9 women ovcr the century mark and 74 mcn.

The Russian Embargo

(Montreal Star)

R ll 0! Peculiar interest to Can- ada, which stands to gain may". iP-lly by the British embargo on Russian exports, to note precisely what that embargo may mean. Russia is a country which sells lflmely to Britain but does not~buy from hcr to anything like the some extent. Last year, for instance, Russia purchased a little more than £9,500,000 0f British goods and sold to Britain £i9,700,000. Moreover-and this is a. very im- adverse trade balance has been accumulating

States‘ is-in a. much better condi- tion, taking only 4.4 per cent of Russian exports and selling t0 Russia. 313.2 per cent of her im- ports.

Those favorurlng an embargo have been laying emphasis on the fact that at the present time a large proportion of Russian eiv ports are dumped in the most cm~ phatlc sense of the word. The sov- iet must pay for the pfart required for industrial development in for- e’gn currencies, and that. is Why Russia sells her products abroad anywhere and at any price she can get, regardless of an)‘ 0U“! natlqn’; manufacturers or produc- ‘era.

An example is afforded by the fact that last year Russia exported to Britain 2,720,000 hundredwelght 0g barley, leading the list of bar- ley exporters. In this connectivn Professor H. C. Grant, of Manitoba University, recently declared: "Russia's progress is in 8T"?- P!" due to the ruthless lowering of prices, regardless of cost, in order to secure the market."

Canada's lumbar export trade with Britain has been virtually ruined by the importation o! Rus- sian timber into Britain at prices which gave Russia no profit and often must have meant a. lofibut which enabled the British lumber dealers to buy at prices that as- sured them of o. much larger prof-
