Under those acts all Money Bills (so certified by the Speak- er of the House of Commons) if not passed by the House of Commons in two succes- sive sessions, and rejected each time or not passed by the House of Lords. may become law without their concurrence on the royal assent being signified.

AMERICAN TOUBIBTS AND TIIIII DQLXABS

Now that the Canadian dollar is holding its own. and a little more. in relation to its American counterpart. Canadians are not quite mire whether they should be glad or sorry. At least. that is the impression one gathers from news dispatches on the subject. In some official quarters fear is being expressed that the new sit- uation will militate against the Canadian tourist traffic. Some have even gone so far as to sug-

Thousands of United States on. izens, to whom Canada has meant nothing more than a name in the wilderness, will want to see for themselves what this country 1. all about. what makes it tick so they say. And when an American sets out to see anything, you u... not soing to stop him by mung him his dollar is not quite as good as it used to be.

Perhaps it will and perhaps it wonit. My own opinion is that it will be a long time. barring actual world war. before the American dollar will again go beyond par- ity with our own. In fact, I should expect it to become weak- er as time goes on. until it is dis- counted at about three or four per cent.

Meanwhile, I think we should be very foolish to apologize in any way for the present sound position of our currency, or not to take full advantage of it in our dealings with American visitors. There need be no arrogance about it. and it is not a matter of "the shoe being now on the other foot." it is simply a matter of a finan- cial pendulum which. for the time being at any rate, is pointed In our direction.

The Americans would consider its as simpletons, which. indeed. we would be. if we were to give them more than the market price for their dollar. just for the pleasure of having them with us
