. Empire Day Message

Empire Day. which was celebrated n the city schools yesterday in con- hlnction with Arbour Day, falls this rear on Sunday, and will be observed u a public holiday on Monday, May Bth.

Much has been said about the neaning of Empire Day. Its signif- cance i; well expressed by Admiral Iellico, who succeeds the late Earl if Meath as President of the Empire 9!? Movement, and who has broad- cast the following message on this sccasion:

“The spirit in which the celebra- tion of May 24th was founded was never more necessary than today, when the British Empire is con- fronted with most difficult and weighty problems, and it is my earnest hope that the pecple of the Empire will face those prob- lems with true sympathy and corn- radeship. -

“We have a vast responsibility; the greatest Empire the world has ever known has been handed down to us by our forefathers. It is an I Empire which stands for all that

is good in the modern world. Let us be Worthy o‘! our destiny.”

pire Day Movement.

Never in history, writs Hon. Mr. Ferguson, has there been more wide- rpread interest throughout the Brit- hh Islw in Canadian development and business aflairs than at the pree- ent time. The executives in indus- zry, the heads of great commercial institutions, the lenders in finance, and in fact every class of Britisher, is looking to Canada for an early recovery from the present depres- sion, which will enable her to play a larger part in the great movement for Empire development. The re- lollrcefilLcoul-ageous and progressive spirit oi the Canadian people, as ex- amplified in the marvellous progress the has made in recent years, has made n profound impression, not only in Great Britain but through- out the world, and is attracting the lerious consideration of the busines world.

There can be no doubt, declares the High CommLssioner, that the ex- change of visits between Great Brit- lin and Canada that have increased l0 greatly in the last few years, has created contact and aroused interest, which will result in substantial ben- efit to both Canada and the British isles.

Hon. Mr. Ferguson concludes with a rousing appeal for a greater meas- ure oi co-operatlon throughout all iections of the Empire, and sums up I his message to the Canadian people n the words: “Hold fast to our

A visitor to the Argentine Republic, cannot help but he most favorably impressed on arrival in the Capital City of Buenos Aires, with its popu- lation of over 2,000,030 to note on all sides evidence of wealth, as express- sd by its wonderful docks, wide streets, and substantial buildings. Tim Argentine people have been industrious in developing their own country, and have been assisted in this development by the advanced legislation of the National Govern- merit. 1n this connection, it would be of interest to Canadians to draw at- tention to the operation of the Ced- ula Hipotecario Nacional or the National Mortgage Bank of Argentina - which was established in 1888 to make loans on real estate secured by first mortgages on incolne-pmduc- ing property, and which Plays such an important part in the develop- ment of that country. The system oi granting mortgages for a period up to 33 years, which are re-paid by 1 per cell-t. cumulative annual sinking fund, seems to have many advantages over the 5-year plan which is most commonly used in Canada. . The fact that the 33-year mort- gage is amortized over such a long period, makes the borrower n. sys- tematic saver, and gives him a chance to pay his obligations out of earn-
