It will be a surprlie, indeed, if Pre- mier Bennett is influenced to let Rus- sian coal come into this county to pay for Russian orders for Canadian firms. Some people, incidentally, arc very fierce against the Soviets until there is a chance to get orders from them.

Agnicnitnre has by -no means ea- caped the economic crisis, but is suf- fering in about the same measure the depression experienced throughout the world in other walks of life. But is it not a fact that agriculture is showing the greatest power of resist- ance, and that its practitioners are showing greater patience under dif- ficulties and are displaying greater confidence than many of tho indus- trialiata? This may be explained ‘by the fact that the agriculturist and the settler can obtain from the soil \ which they must cultivate, sure and certain means of subsistence at all times. Agriculture and coloniaatio deserves to receive from the govern ments and from the people the gres estpossible consideration and help.
