At a time when other industries have been curtailed owing to the world depression, the progress made in the mineral industry of Canada is not only encouraging: it is Phen- omenal. I At the present time especially it ls the duty of the public to patron- ize newspaper advertisers. These public spirited business men are doing their best to reduce prices and to keep the public informed of the fact. There is no “dog in the manger" policy with them; they invite and welcome everyone to come, see and buy at the prices they are not afraid to advertise. By the advertising columns of the Guardian it will be easy to see who are the men of initiative, resource and progress who are doing their utmost to keep the old flag flying and make the farmer's dollar go the farthest. Patronize advertisers in the Guardian and help the good cause of rc-establishing equilibrium. By their ads shall ye know them. NOT ANTI-BRITISH Some newspapers continue to condemn the action of the Govern- ment of Canada in regard to cus- toms duties on British imports as affected by the depreciation of the pound sterling as anti-British. As a matter of fact it is not anti- Brltish, though it is in the interest of Canada. This Dominion has for thirty years been giving a prefer- ence to British goods while Canad- ian products have received no pre- ferencelin the British market. The question was brought up by Pre- micr Bennett at the Imperial Con- ference held in London a year ago. Mr. Bennett urged s. policy of mut- ual preferential trade within the Empire, but the Imperial Govern- ment of that time gave no sign of favorable wnsideratlon. Now that the depreciation of the pound sterling gives British products a. THOMAS A. EDISON The world has lost one of its out- standing figures in the person of Thomas Alva. Edison. whose death ls reported elsewhere in today's Guardian. The namc of Edison is practically synomymcus with the inventive genius of the age in which JWe live. His individual contribu- ‘tions to electrical and mechanical progress were so numerous and so far reaching in their importance that many pages of biography think everything wrongly conceived. We must at least credit our nation- al authorities earnestness in for the pressing problems. Nothing tlons can be righted. that, this is realized by the heads of Govem- ments, and that everywhere, eluding Canada, they are ‘accept- ing tho task as an immediate dirt)‘- To fail would seal their political fate.

An exchang says: The present generation should not take things so much to heart. With Canadian money doubted by the U. s, it may be well to recall that their elders remember the time that American money was only accepted at‘ 50 cent on the dollar in Canada. The writer recalls that 9,5 a boy he never knew of an American quart- er being accepted for more than 20 cents in his home town. The circumstance that the U. S. has 60 per cent., of the worlds gold supply will serve as a bumper when the turn of events attacks the U. S. dollar.

(The fact that capital ‘s often used to fight other capital in' competition for markets tend is obscure this basic position, but. broadly speaking, this deduction cannot be successfully challenged.) In the second place, capital has often been applied, not for contin- uously reproductive or financially profitable purposes, but for ends which may be socially attractive rather than strictly economic. BY way of illustration we may cite ex- penditure on universal education, which resembles a. water-pot used at random in a garden already overstocked with seeds and weeds; and expenditure on luxury and re- creation, which may produce divi- or death strike you. protection. for information.

In 1921, when the quota legislation was passed, according to the Saturday Review the native industry was almost literally at its last gasp; today its output is ex- cecded only by that of the United States, and Elstree has become Hollywood's most serious rival. But that is not all; of the hundred and sixty full-length pictures scheduled for production during the next twelve months, at least a fifth will be made in England by American companies. Here, as in the case of the McKenna duties on motor-cars, the foreigner has found himself obliged to give employment to Eng- lish men and women in their own country. It is scarcely necease y to point out that Canada has had the same experience in the automobile and other industries under the Bennett tariffs. INCREASING OUTPUT The recent course of the mineral industry in Canada emphasizes its firmly established position and its ability to withstand periods of ex- ceptional depression. In the light of these considerations the mineral industry of the Dominion, says an official report for the first half of the current year. may be regarded as showing remarkable strength. Production cf metals, fuels and non - metals totalled $05,689,288. against $116,380,409 during the first half of i930, a decrease of 17.8 per cent. Gold, which the Dominion is p. ducing in ever-increasing quan- tities, recorded increased produc- tion, while at the same time pros- pecting for new properties and de- velopment of promising showings met with much support. During the first half of 103i, gold production amounted to 1,273,303 fine ounces, valued at $20,321,508. compared with 076,235 fine ounces worth $20,180,568 during the first ex months of i030. In the latter period the value of copper produced was greater than that of any other metal. but during the same period ‘f i031 the value d gold output was EDITORIA L NOTES "l-le is my kind of a bird," said Mflyor Walker of New York after meeting Premier Bennett last week in that city.

If a reply in kind is pennissible, we might congratulate his Worship upon having said "e mouthful." to the Union Jack to have it car- ried by a. company of men who dig not respect it.

After some months in the o General Hospital she was transferred to a nursing home where she is still confined. Friends on her behalf took action against the drivers responsible for the accident. The Judge commented on their gross negligence, deplored the fact that compulsory liability in- surance was not in force in this PPOVlIlCB. arid nurses damage of $5.000 and costs. Not one cent of the Judgment has ever been paid. Now the authorities in their wis- dom have decided that, since Che young woman is a public charge, she shall be deported. That decis- ion is a disgrace to Canada.“ General Smnis, whose right to estimate the risk and horror of war none will deny, spoke at Sheffield University and ipld the British people that armed peace had led w the World War and would lead to another war, more horrible than the imagination of man could con- ceive, unless a real measure of dis- armament puts an end to the ex- isting armed peace. ' General Bmuts does not regard it as a. matter of life and death to achieve spectsoula success at the forthcoming Disarmament Confer- ence at Geneva. What is of more importance. in his opinion, is that there should be a definite halt td further armaments and a definite posed to replace that of progressive growth.
