Today this once bellig- erent captain of the old German Junker Empire stands at the head of the German Republic. But what is even more strange than that, he evidently heads it as an enemy oi extreme Germaz. Nationalism. as the foe of Hitler and all those who would scrap the ‘Treaty of Versail- les. It is a remarkable illustration of the changes that come within even a generation.

A leading Nationalist is authori- ty for the forecast that President von Hindenburg will resign office on his 85th birthday, October 2, and recommend to the German people that former Crown Prince Wilhelm von Hohenzollern suc- cced him. The picture thus grows the more complicated. The repub-

lic under the presidency of the Kaiser's heir, of course, would cease to be a republic in every-

thing but style, and it might not be long before even the pretence of republicanism was dropped. Germany is generally depicted as bitter against the Kaiser. While that is so, it is difficult, consider- ing the temperament of the Ger- man people, to believe that they are antl-monarcllist. In any event, if there is any chance of an Hoh- enzcllern again ruling Germany- with what title does not matter— Paul von Hindenburg is the man, probably the only man, who can “sell" the former ruling family to the Germany of today.

President Hoover, because of the peculiarity of the American politi- cal system which. while designat- ing him the chief executive, ac- tually makes hlm powerles if log- rolling politicians in Congress want their own way. has been unable to economize as he probably would wish to do. Hence the American people have a further billion of taxes added to shoulders already creaking under the strain of ex- isting levies.

“Just 100 years ago," says a wri- ter, "the only foods known in Eng- land were bread, meat and fish. There were hardly any vegetables and few fruits.” And due no doubt to the absence of the proper foods, see what happened to those Eng- lishmen of 100 years ago. They're practically all dead.

HOW T0 SPEND YOUR. DOLLAR 0N FOOD

Just how to make the dollor go the greatest possible distance occupies the minds of the family provider, and the member of the family who has the spending of the dollar.

As food is the most important item, because food is health. is life itself, it is of interest to every- bodymkrlow just what part of that dollar should be spent on each of (he different kinds of f0od_

Some years ago I outlined the method of Miss Campbell of the Department of Agriculture. QNIWB. who suggested that the dollar should be divided into fifths. one fifth for each kind 0f 100d-

Rccently the Child Health Bulletin, New York, issued a chart, compiled by Lucy H. Gillett show- ing how the dollar should be spent if the best results from a health standpoint were to be obtained.

Miss Glllett suggests:

"Divide the money to be spent on food into fifths, one fifth more or less for vegetables and fruifs, one fifth or more for milk and cheese. one fifth or less for meat, fish, and eggs, one fifth or more for bread and cereals, one fifth or less for fats, sugar, and other groceries.

I believe that this is a fair all round guide for the average family, and might wcli be followed, but it can readily be seen that some families w-lli be all adults, some will have some small children, and others half grown children.’

Where the breadwinner or bread- winrlers work hard physically there can be no lessening of the amount spent for meat, fish, and eggs, if strength is to be maintained.

Where there are a number of children the amount spent on milk might well be increased. Milk is 1m all round food for youngsters as it contains all five kinds of food, in- cluding the valuable vitamins.

Miik of course is a good food for

everybody and its price is reason- able, but when children reach their teens it 1s necessary that they in- crease the amount of meat, fish. and eggs in the diet. There is no reason why they should not con- ism... drinking milk, but the pm- telds-meat, fish, and eggs are needed for growth and repair be- cause these cl-llldren are entering the stage of manhood and won-lan- hood. Miss Gilletts chart is a good general guide but the little points mentioned above must not be for- gotten '

Conference

III

The Chairman, aft/er referring to the conclusions which had been ruched by sir Edward Davson after a, r ' -' and serious study of this whole problem, said he believed in looking ahead, "and if one looks ahead, one must be not only en- couraged but insllilfll "id 9331"!‘ ed." We were asked what Wfla the outcome of the Ottawa Conference u, mean to the Emplfc? Statesman in Great Britain, in every vnri 0i the Empire. agreed that it was the first essential step to the recovBYY of a sound position. Fioreigfl 601111" mes were taking n greater interest in British trade than ever before- why? 13mm” they realized that, if the very essentials of this great Empire should be knit weather. We were going to have an organization of an economic and social character that would lead the world and be able u) dictate policies and develop progress. 5o it was that foreign countries were making all kinds 0! overtures to Great Britain in the hope that they might anticipate the conclusion cf this Conference in their own jntcrests. Explaining Canada's idea in becoming a tariff country, Mr. Ferguson said:-

We want to build up a great or- ganization-al nation if you will-in Canada. If we are going to Provide comfortable, satisfactory homes for the people that come to Canada. We must enable them to get jobs in Canada. 'I'hey cannot have jobs if you allow the goods that are manu- factured by people with lower stan- dards of living than oursto come in and compete with the product of a higher standard and a better W889- We pride ourselves in Canada, as you do, that our people have a splendid scale of living, that our workpecplc enjoy everything esen- tlal for happiness and comfort, and we want to maintain that sltuatfon. not only for ourselves, but so that Canada will be an attractive place for men from this country to go and work in If you are gong to transport British people from here to any of the Dominions, you must look upon the Dominions as a new field for your surplus populatcn. Do you want that to go to foreign soil, or to come to some other part of the Elnpira and 1o be with some other portion of the family, to live under the same happy, prosperous, comfortable conditions that are pro- vided by the standard of wage and of living that you have in this country?

Canada saw that she could not in her struggle resst the destructive influence of the invasion of cheaper production, and she said, if we are going to keep our people here, we must bridge that dfference by a tariff-because we do not propose to lower our standard to meet the other. That is one reason we have tariffs. The other is, we live alongside of the greatest, the most highly organized economic force ill the world, the great Repub- lic of the United States. and we have to protect ourselves against the surplus product which they would throw over our garden wall at any price. Those are the two factors that have played the part in Canadian economic life that has brought us to establish a tariff system. We could not live against the competitbn of Russia in Can- ada; an we put an embargo on against her goods. and we are the only country in the world which has put an embargo on against Russia. We do that in a, more modified way with tariffs against other countries that effect us seriously.

With regard to this Conference, I am entirely in aurord with Blr Edward. Do not let u; expect too much. Do not let us think that any gathering of men. no matter how able, can take the whole category of products, both primary and second- ary, and adjust them between all

and make a complete success of it to begin with. We have to lay down certain broad principles, and there are a number of fundamental pro- ducts upon which we can 8Ql€&-l thing like steel that Sir Edward talks about, I can see no reason why we should not. We produce steel. but we have not the market for heavy structural steel that you produce here, and we spend two or three hundred million dollars every year buying from the United States. We would rather buy from here. We put a duty on American coal so u to enable our puimla to use Welsh coal. and we built up last year a market for about 1.000.000 ions of coal from Wales. That will go on and increase.

There are a great umber or products that can. without my difficulty at all, be satisfactorily dealt with, and it seems to ma that that would be the way ti“ 0°"- ference would approach this Pfilb- iem.

In other words. it is not a quin- tion of bargaining. We hope that nobody will go with the spirit of bargaining. and I think it is pretty well settled everywhere that the Conference shall not be approached in that spirit. Let every Dominion, including the Colonies-bbiiflllfifi they certainly should be included- put its economic map upon the table, indicating its products and what it does with them, and let us readjust this thing; it is a. read- justment of distribution and pro- duction that we want and not bar- gaining between members of the same family: that will only create irritation. If we approach the prob- lem 5n that spirit, I am sure we will have Ilo difficulty. This country has given ample evidence of the splrlt in which it is approaching the thing. Take the abnormal duties. they do not apply to the Dominions. Take the question of treaties with foreign countries, no trade BENE- ments are to be made with foreign countries until» this problem is dis- cussed and dealt with with the D0- mirlion. Could any country so further than that? Then, when you come to apply a tariff which is avowedly for revenue purposes, and ordharily would be thought to apply to everybody, this country very generously says, “We are not going to apply thatto ourDominlona at all." So you have three important. not. gestures or overtures, but three important concessions given to the Dominlons as an earnest of the at- titude of this country towards this great problem.

It is true that the Dominions have done things too. I cannot speak for the rest of the Dominloris with as much knowledge as I can of Can- ada. We have approached this prob- lem not merely from the sordid economic side of ft, the material side, but from the spiritual, social, national side of it. One hundred and fifty years ago, when some Englishmen started a little tea- party in Chesapeke Bay, they gave the United States people an oppor- tunity of with-drawing from the British Empire altogether. There were certain valiant patriots who endeavoured to retain that country for the Empire, but failed to suc- ceed: they were fnld they could leave the country but must leave behind everything belonging to them. They trumped through hund- reds of miles of untrodden country up into Canada and settled there. At that period that was looked upon in this country as such sn act of heroism and patriotism that l. special edict was passed, giving those people the right for all time to carry the proud title of United Empire loyalists. Their descend- ants have the right to put after their names U. E. I... and that in history was the beginningof the movement for a United Empire. That is the first thing that. was done in Canada. and an important thing.

lion, the natural thing would have been to carry our railways to the closest markets-Chicago, Milwau- kee. and so. We did not do it. We built railroads across the Dominion east and west to tie up with these islands. Nor is that all. It is 35 years since Canada, in its anxiety in encourage trade with this coun- try, gave a. preference first of 33 1-3 per cent. and afterwards of 50 per cent. on goods from Great Britain. I hope the response is coming now. We have not had much since.

If we were w get down closer to the situation, I have never forgot- ten the thrill throughout Canada on August 4th. 1914, when the war trumphcis sounded and the Cana- dians asked the British Govern- ment, “Can we help you?" The answer was. "If you can send us 20,000 men, it will be s. tremendous help to us." We sent 30,000, 20,000, 20,000, not five or ten times but 25 times, and every month on the average during the whole of the War 10.0w young Canadians shoul- dered their muskets and came a- cross the ocean to fight to main- taln this Empire. I merely say that in impress you with the idea that the people in these Domlnlons are intensely in earnut. We believe that ill-liars w_e can link ourselves to- gether in one great family compact. each co-operating with all the others. that we will ‘gee the be- ginning of disintegration in the Imperial organization.
