(pj-eparodlby Fred Williams for the
Cmpdian Press)-Nineteen Twen-
ty-eightias a good year to Can-
ldg-a good year for the farmers
and the factory hands; a good year
for the financiers and investors. It
was e, year _with large cropsf. and
fair prices. even though had weath-
er reduced the quality of wheat in
me west; a year of industrial prog.
perity and full pay envelopes. Rall-
wny earnings increased beyond the
most optimistic hopes of‘the man-
agemenls. Climatic »- conditions
throughout the year were good on
the whole, though various sections
suffered from unusual floods. _ It
wg; a year of increasing popula-
tion; a year of railway development
northward and ayear cf mining
progress. In fact. 1928 was ayear
to look back upon with pride and
a year to assume confidence for the
future.
The results of the cuiuouennial
ccnsuses of the” three Pralric prov-
inces showed substantial inc:~ea.ses
in population. especially in Sask-
-atchewan and Alberta. while both
Ontario and Quebec showed. sub-
stantial growth. largely urban. Two
important events in railway devel-
opment during the year were thc
:urchase by the C. P. R. of the
Lacombe and North-westem rail-
vay from the Alberta govemlncnt
ind a joint purchase by the C. P.
l. and C. N. R. c-i the Alberta rail-
vqys into the Peace River country.
stitch Ioreshadows biz develop-
nents in that section and in north-
cn British Columbia during the
c ing year. Experiments in the
htxlage of Alberta coal to Ontario
a 'of Nova Scotia coal to Central
Ca ada were subsidised by the Do-
mhlon. but did not reach the pro-
portions hoped for, despite substan-
tiallreductiops in freight rates. In
oth intel-provincial trade ex-
char-ges there was considerable
progress, western fruit and produce
invading the eastern markets to -a
marked degree.

POLITICS '
Taken altogether the year 1928
was not markedby any grea‘ event
of domestic importance in Federal
politics. its chief developments be-
ing extemal. Parliament met in ‘
January when Hon. R. B. Bennett
assumed his duties as leader of the
Opposition? and during its four
months passed considerable legis-
lation. The budget resolutions re-
duced the duties on textiles and a
few other articles and lowered the
income tax. The former deport.-
ments govcrning health and sol-
diers' civil re-establishment were
merged as the Department of Pen-
sions' and Health. There was some
debating about the natural resour-
ces of the western provinces and ai-
so concemlng ther St. Lawrence wa-
terwty.
Dlplomatically the year has been
an epoch-making one. It has seen
the arrival 'of the first British Coln-
missloner to Canada. in the person
of Sir William Clark. who assum-
ed his duties at Ottawa on Sept.
22; the appointment of the first
Canadian Minister to France, l-Ibn.
Philippe Roy. and the an-ival of
Hon. G. J. Knight. the first French
Minister to Canada, who prcscnied
his credentials on Nov. ifi. On
20 Jaoan opened her first legation
at Ottawa. The lrovcrnment has
intimated that diplomatic relations
with Japan will be evtcnded fur-
tl~”r in the near future.
Canada nartlc’uatc'1 largely in
wfrld events in the 12 months. Pr,-

new Canadian Embassy in Paris.
British Columbia began the pay-
n.cnt of old age pensions. in co-op-
eration with the Dominion. during
the year, and Manitoba and Sask-
atchewan also adopted the propo-
sal. The Yukon Council adopted
a` resolution which-will bring the
system into force there in 1929. In
Ontario. Premier Ferguson announ-
ced that his Province. too. would.)
have some proposals on the subject. Y
A royal commission is investigatirig
the financial relations between the
Dominion and Manitzlaa in connec-
tion with the transf of the nat-y
ural resources and it is possible that
a similar arrangement will have to
be made with British Columbia in -
reaard to a claim for the revenue
from railway lands involved in the
construction of the C. P. R. over
40 years ago. A convention of
Liberal women representative of the
whole Dominion was held at Ot-
tawa in Aoril at_which Hon. Mary
Elle.. Smith. of Vancouver. was el-
ected President: and in November
a big Conservative convention :rt
Toronto brought the women into
action on equal terms with the men.

BRITISH COLUMBIA-
Two Provincial general elections
were held during 1928. l'n British
Columbia the election took place
or July 18 resulti g' in t.he defeat
of the Liberal `g£?ment headed
by Hon. J. D. M. n, who had the
previous year succeeded Hon. John
Oliver as head of the ministry. and
thus ending a Liberal regime of
_ten years. This brought Hon. S.
F. Tolmie, formerly M. P. for Vic-
toria and Minister of Agricultu"e
in the Meighen Cabinets. into 0'-
fice on August 21 as Premier of B.
C. with a strong Cabinet around
him.
ALBERTA-
Aiberta sold its railways to the
C. P. R.. in joint ownership with
the C. N. R. so far as the Peace
River road is concerned. Agricul-
tural and road development took up
most of the attention of the legis-
lators. A bill for the sterilization
of the unfit. physically and men-
tally, was passed. '
SASKATCHEWAN-
Saskatchewan passed a quiet po-
litical year, The finances were in
good condition: some constructive
legislation of ical interest was put
through by Premier Gardner. The
selection of a new Conservative
leader, Dr. J. T. M. Anderson, has
given that party fresh hope in a
Province which has been consist-
ently Liberal .since its foundation.
MANITOBA- .
Manitoba legislators devoted some
time to .tha._minera1 and railway
development and good progress was
made on the raiiwav to the great
Flin Flon mine. The last spike
was driven by Premier Bracken in
the autumn. The liquor policy of
the Government was under attack.
The sale of the Seven Sisters Falls
to a private company provoked con-
sirerable discussion. .
ONTARIO-
In Ontario the Ferguson Govern-
ment announced a small surplus;
the Legislature refused tosanciion
the sale of beer by the glass (which .
had been adopted in Manitoba): D.
B. Hanna. re_si"ned the chaiignen-
shin of the Liquor Control card
would be inasgurated in Ontario in
1929. One striking feature of the
year in Ontario was the success of
the Security Frauds Prevention bill.
pssed by I-Ion. W. H. Price. This
law is designed to prevent flotation'
and sale of fictitious stocks.
QUEBEC- _
Quebec Province continued pros-
-perous. The revenues were large.
The Taschereau Government car-
ried on as usual and there was lit-
tle to disturb its political serenity
with the exception of a bye-election
in the St. Mary's division of Mon-
treal on Oct. 22. 'Phare a Liberal
had been returned at the general
election. and unseated. Mean-
while Camlllen 1-Ioude. a young
Conservative. defeated Mederlc
Martin for the Montreal mayoral-
ty. When the time came for the
St. Mary’s bye-election. Houde wag-
ed a vigorous campaign and won
the seat.. `
NEW BRUNSW ICI(-
In` New Brunswick the Govern-
ment Control Act was under attack.
but was claimed by the Government
to be working smoothly. Progress
in hydro-electric development
throughout the Province; 'general
industrial activity and the uphold-
inf of the province in various flir-
ecflons. featured the year in New
Brunswick.
-Nova scorn- _
Nova Scotia was the other Pro-
vince to elect a new Legislature.
There the polling followed an hist-
ory-making spring. The Judicnl
Committee of the Privv Council
having decided that the Nova sco-
tla Government had the power to
nominate men to the Legislative
Cfwncil in order to vote for its ab-
olition three Coun-il1n'°s resigned
six were dismissed on Jan 26 and
12 new nominations were nwrle on
Feb. 12. A bill to abolish the
Council was lntroduvcd into the As-
sembly Feb. 21. and went to the
Council. without delay. gave assent
to its own extinction end before the
elections were,heid the oldest leg-
islative body in British North Am-
erica had passed Gut of existence.
The elections were held Oct. 1. The
'I-‘..hcdes Conservative Government
was sustained bv three majority.
The Liberals elected 20 members as
compared with their three in the
previous House. and defeated four
ministers of the Rhodes Cabinet.
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND-
In Prince Edward Island the ses-
sion of the Legislature was unevent-
ful. as is senerallv the case after a
change of government. . The Saun-
ders ministry can‘ied through a
programme of legislation. The scn-
tlment of the new Assembly was
proven to be strongly for continued
enforcement of the prohlbitoly act.

Unique History -
of Canadian
War Battalions
OTTAWA, Jan., 11.-A unique en-
richment ot Canada's literature is
being contributed at present by the
compilation of war histories deal-
ing with the various individual un-
its and formations thatcomprised
the Canadian corps. In the ten
years which have elapsed since the
close of hostilities, many such vol-
umes were issued; but within the
best few months indications have
been given of a greatly increased
number that will probably see the
light of publication some time in
1929. At the present rate of pro-
gress Canada will at no far distant
date possess a complete collection
devoted solely to the battalions,
batteries..ambulance and other ge-
tive and administrative emu which
fought and served in the Great
War. Apart altogether from the
fact of this development-of histori-
cal' literature being something ex-
clusively Canadian. those histories
have a special merit in that they
are for. the most part written by
men who themselves served with
the units coneemed. They are re.
corded by eye-witnesses, whose ob-
servations are corrected and their
viewpoints adiusted by the access
given them to the official narra-
tives and all other pertinent docu-
ments within the custody of the
historical section of the Department
Uf Nl!-|°¥1l.l Defence in Ottawa.

humorous episodes wnlchelllustrate
the genius and initiative of the
Canadian soldier in matters where
astute invention was required to
thwart the irksome ends of disci-
pline are recounted side by side
with silnple stories of bravery which
show how these same men fought
and bled. and finally yielded their
lives. They are the complement
of the official war history of Cen-
ada. which is now being written.
inasmuch as they treat in minute
detail of matters upon which the
official history must. of necessity
speak in general terms.
The Histories Published
About a dozen of those histories
have now been published. the first
to make its appearance being that
of the 85th Battalion. Nova Scotia
Highlanders, which was written by
Lieut. Col. Joseph Hayes. in 1920.
This was the pioneer effort. The
latest is the story of a No. 3 Can-
adian Stationary Hospital. written
by R.. C. Fetherstonhaugh. of Mon-
treal. Mr. lfetherstonhaugh also
wrote the histories of the 13th Bat-
talion, Royal Highlanders of Can-
ada. and the 14th Battalion, Royal
Montreal Regiment. Himself an
invalid. the author of th0ee_vol-
umes assimilated the atmosphere
of his subject matter so thorough-
ly that the last named volume was
awarded the Athanaese David prize
in the province of Quebec int year.
The history of the Princess Pa-
tricia Canadian Light Infantry was
the .work of Profenovr Hodder Wil-
liams. who served in that unit. Sev-
eral artillery batteriea have issued
their story and among many other
volumes ln process of compilation
at peeent are the histories of the
2nd Canadian Infantry Battalion,
the 18th Battalion. Canadian loot-
tiah. the Nth Battalion. Central
_Ontario Rdgiment. and the seth
Battalion. Bahru Ontario regi-
