It is many years now since Chamberlain call- ed together the first Sugar Convention to abolish the inquitous bountics and regulate the output of refined sugar, but the. precedent then introduced is being followed again this month in London in continuance of a similar abortive conference of 2t sitgar producing countries last year. Last year's conference fixed quotawtntalling 3.622.500 tons in an agreement designed to maintain a free market over a five-year period. Several of the. signatories subsequently surrendered part of their quotas voluntarily and the conference then decided upon a universal reduction of five per cent for the other participating countries. This five per cent reduction still left a produc- tion surplus of 209,000 tons above the world's consumption needs. Brazil has since announced surrender of 5,000 tons of its contingent, with Belgium and Germany sacrificing 4,000 an 12.500 tons, respectively. This further reduced the difference to 186,750 tons. Refusal by most of the participating countries to accept a further reduction of their export quotas has posed a

crisis which threatens to disrupt the conference. notations

so-callccl "wild" animals on s. basis of mutual good-will and re- spect. All national parks are wild life santuarles, where the animals and birds of the forest, prairie and Jake are protected from molestation with all the vigor of the law. The result is that these creatures very soon begin to recognize in mun a friend instead of an enemy, and to conduct. themselves accordingly. Deer and bear are common in most of the western parks, and a recent re- port from Jasper states that a baby moose, accompanied by its watchful mother, is taking strolls through the streets and bywnys of that popular resort. The mother moose keeps her baby carefully guarded from attack. Another visitor is a hti: elk. which airpor- ently mjoys human companion- ship.-Cannda's Resources Bulle- tin.
