The Ottawa Journal asks why

lshculd 8.400 Canadians leave Cau- sda every month during the Dill yam", and‘ guggefl-B 88 I possible answer the following:— l. During the past f0“ W075‘ United Statues expenditure ‘has been cut by two brill-ion dollars During the corresponding W505i Canadian expenditure has been but; slightly decreased.

2. ‘Du-ring the past four years the United States national debt his been reduced by t3.42_0.000.000. During the corresponding period Canada's debt has been increase! by exactly $311,000,000.

3. Americans with a per caplta income of $281, have a per oaplta federal tax of about $28. Canadians with a per oaplta income of 826d have a per capita federal tax of over $40.

4. During 1924-25 the United States income tax was in some cases three and flour time; ‘lighter than the income tax in Canada. And the worst-from Canada's standpoint-do still to come. At the moment a tax-reduction bill is passing through the United States Congress. That cuts the United States surtax in baif, and provides also for reductions in all normal Further, it exempts in- comes of single persons up to 81,500 and of married persons up to 83,500-—freolng 2.500.000 persons outright from income taxation. 1b., Unitedvstate-s has been able to do these things because the Un- ited States Government has econ- omized. Canada is unable to do them because Canada has ‘been wanton in extravagance. There have been no tax reductions here and no reductions are in sight. Canadian blueinesss. inadequately protected and bled white by taxes. has so compete with American- bus- iness. adcquaflely protected and he- lng freed of taxes.

France Revisited Excerpts from Tic-Review of Ra- vlsws, December, '24-)

an idea that American visitors are not received with uniform cordial- ity, as they resume again their fav- orlte pre-war pastime of travélins in Europe. i would like to put on record. therefore. the fact that l have brought home with me no re- collection of a single instance 0f unfriendliness or incivility. Wheth- er in large cities or in remote vil- lages. there was not merely polite- ness for the American tourists, but evident desire to sbcw 800d feel- ing. All the usual questions asked by travelers, as to roads, stoppius places and conditions. were met fre- quently with an eager deslreto ‘be of service, and never with discourt- esy.

There has ‘been much discussion bsre at home regarding the Prices charged American travelers in Europe. Upon this point l_ an: slid to state with emphasis that lfound prices reasonable everywhere lll France, while in many places ollt- side of Paris the depreciated franc gives the visitor decidedly more for his money than he has a right to expect. Geneva hotel charges. at the League of Nations opening. with accommodations in great (l5!- mand. were moderate in compari- son with American hotel prices when crowds are drawn by ‘politi- cal conventions or other gather- lllEil. _

Hotels and inlls in the smaller French cities and townii are sur- prisingly with rates for pleasant rooms and excellent meals that are much be- low those charged in the ‘United States for worse rooms and inferi- or meals. l have never ‘before found travel conditions better. ho- tel keepers more honest, and llriircs lll general lnore reasonable tllull -n 192i.

its great system of highways is one of tile visible and material mnlkn of llnlty of modern France. The tlonaies. the routes departmen- tales, with the smaller roadways of the communes-wall constituting n complete system radiating from Paris in the first instance. and then from every provincial and depart- mental capitnl-hss been familiar enough as a thing one has always rend about. ‘But its opportunities must be actually enjoyed to be half comprehended.

BEGINNING AT HOME.

rSlr.-—it is to be hoped that after all the correspondence on the buy at home question merchants. far- mers and those employed in other lines of business will know each other better and so understand the problems to be faced lby each class in the community. To the wrilter the practice of buying at home appears the only sensible t-hlpg to do for tho good of the community.

There are in the Province a con- siderable number of men whose employment might be termed “agents"—unfortunately on ac- count of local conditions they re- present for the most part houses whose ‘headquarters are not in this Province.

These agents reside and spend tbeilr incomes here. therefore. surely they are entitled to every blt of business the merchant can pug in their way, providing they can supply goods of the same quality and at the same price as representatives who come- from outside the Province.

‘be; us all endeavor to buy at

Let all work together for the good of the -lsland—put llnto action Home Buying is Home Building, lbacked ‘by the Golden Rule. lf this is done things may improve sufficiently to keep some at least of our young people at home.

The European roads are. as a rule. well marked by sign-boards. and excellent road maps are every- where procurable. it ls obvious thut the war-stricken districts 0f France can only be seen by travel on tile highways. But the railroad may take the visitor to a given point, frcnl which he may explore the surrounding country at very small cost in commodlons motor omlllbuses, if s private car is not available for him. The great national roads of France were the creation of the Napoleonic era. But the results Ill social and economic values have been far more important than in military terms. As the tourist speedily discovers. these French farmers have their homes in com- Dactly ‘built villages. from which they go out to their llelds. Their stables and farmyards are in the rear of their village homes. and they are constantly moving along the public highway. A single ox will often haul as much hay or other produce Into the village over the hard-surfaced highways as four strong horses would pull over an ordinary American farm road.
