This is the direct re- sult of newspaper publicity. For weeks almost every British newspaper ran stories, and in many cases heated editorials, on the subject. As the facts became known public sentiment flared The British housewife made it clear till! she was opposed to the country paying Japan the sum of £1,700,000 when salmon of a Slml1al' quality was obtainable in Canada. Questions were raised in the British House of Commons, and on July 4th a Private Mem- ber's Bill was handed down which desired 10 make it obligatory by amendments to the Mer- chandise Mark Act of 1926 that goods manu- factured in Germany, Italy or Japan 51101114 1-‘fe compelled to clearly mark the country of their origin. It is improbable that it Bill calling for this drastic discrimination will become law, but as a result of a just citation of their claims for honest marking by the Canadian officials, coup- led with the public indignation, the President of the Board of Trade has officially declared himself us having amendments to the Mer- chandise Mark Act under immediate considera- lion_ "Editorially»” says Canadian Food Journal, "we have nothing to say against Japanese salmon as long as it enters the market and is sold to the consumer as Japanese salmon. It obvi- ously has a perfect right to come here. but V_V1lf11 we resent and what the public of Great Britain resents, is the fact by misleading identity marks people have been buying this oriental Pi’0d“€l under firm belief that they were buying a Can- adian product. But those days are nearly over, everywhere dealers are reporting that customeis when buying salmon are now demanding to know the country of origin and obviously Cait- adian salmon is the kind they wish to buy.” Gold In Reserve Since 1937, statements showing the gold held by the Bank of England on behalf of the British lixcliange Fqunlisation Account have been pub- lished twice yearly. Few attempts, however, have been made to outline the purposes and op- erations of this fund in concise form for the benefit of the general reader. Data are now available for a period of two years and these are summari7.ed with a general review of the history and operations of the Account in the first article of the Monthly Letter of The Royal Bank of Canada for August. During the past year the’ Iixcliauge .Account and the British Treasury adopted a new policy of holding gold in‘oth-gr countries including Canada. At the out- set, this movement was comparatively small but during the past few weeks shipments have been heavy. Imports during Ma_v aggregated 4,671,- 000 fine ounces valued at $163,485,000 of which about $159,000,000 came from Great Britain. Substantial quantities continued to come in dur- ing June it being estimated on June 19th last that including gold on route from Great Britain there was about $323,400,000 in gold held in Canada under earmark. The second article re- views Canadian mineral production during the first half of the year so far as data are avail- ble. With Canadian gold production at the high- est level in history and with metal production close to record levels, the official index of the total voltiiue of mineral production reached the record peak of 233 in May, almost double the level of 1929. fine ounces per month in 1929, the output of gold has risen to more than 400,000 ounces per month. On this basis '.' may be confidently anti- cipated that the total gold produced in Canada during 1939 may reach 5,000,000 ounces with a value of‘ $175,000,000. This compares with ac- tual production of 4,679, 625 ounces valued at $i64,56i,i23 in 1938 and'4.o96,213 ounces and $143,326,493 in 1937. The mining industry con- tinues to prove it is one of the highly construc- tive influences in Canadian economic life. Japan Feeling The Pinch Japan's war efforts in China are having the inevitable reaction on Japanese civilians at home. This is evident. from a perusal of a recent issue For-one thing, "the China affair" as the war ls..euphoniously called,. has drained heavily on the labour resources of rural Japan. Since the outbreak of hostilities two years ago, men and horses from the rural districts have been mobol- lted for military service in the China battlefield. Additionally, the ever-increasing demand for vlrorliers in munition factories snd'otl1er war industries taken A vast number of young ‘men from the farnl.- Thisfgrestroutflow of. men ‘sud-‘animals hasfsffieidtetl ‘the agricultural labor #1‘ 0.1- 5613!!

The Government in- stituted a_ price control policy in order to curb mounting tendency of wages in industries con- 'neCted with "the China incident.” There has also been drastic restriction on im- ports of “all non—ess-ential foreign articles." Notices to all foreign residents of Yoltshania, with the exception of diplomatic and consular officials, request that they report the amount of gold in their possession. Printed forms ate being distributed to all householders with columns for the classification of coins, rings, watches, ornaments and other articles as well as their value. A society has been founded by prominent leaders in Government and private circles to assist in urging the people to sell their gold and silver to the Government and to con- duct popular campaigns to facilitate the "emer- gency materials mobilization programme.” '‘ Since last July, regulations have been in force for the compulsory restriction of the use of news print. Local sale of unadulterated dairy products have been compulsorily reduced by 40 per cent. Cases of suicides on the part of innocent re- latives of criminals seem to be worrying the Japanese Government. Police authorities have been instructed to “use extreme discretion” when dealing with the families of criminals or suspected transgressors_ The ban on publication of the news of the ar- rest of a group of Communists, made in August last year, was only lifted on June 27 of this year. The men have "since been under examination." They were arrested on charges of “subversive literary activities." One of the most significant items is the re- ference to the law for the protection of secrets regarding military resources which went into effect last June. The law prohibits among other things the publication of import statistics on a long list of minerals and metals, including alti- minum, magnesium, nickel, ferro-nickel, mer- cury, and tungsten ore. Japan, by the way, not only imports considerable quantities of such war material directly from Canada, btit indirectly through the United States. _ EDITORIAL Nonzs _ Sir Walter Scott liorn this date, 1771. it iii '0 It All set for expectanlly the most successful Exhibition in 50 years. ll 4‘ I It is reported, though we have not seen a copy, that an official publication in London of pictures of Their Majesiics visit to Canada fails to include any of this Province.

British Labor Party -- The increasing moderation of the Labor Party in British political life during recent years has led many people to hope that it would soon hold i/he position once held by the Liberal Party, snd provide I rallying ground for all who put the cmplieais on humanity and social justice in public life without ex- cessive fear of lnnovs.t.lon—t.he.t L9. for progressive, forward — looking minds. Just as the Liberal Party in 1906 and 1910 welcomed the co- operation of Labor men. so it was hoped that the Labor Party today would be prepared to line up with Liberals and other progressives who could be prepared to accept much though not all of their program. But the Labor Party has put its foot down firmly. No entangllng political alliances. The whole policy and program of Labor. or nothing.

The Mayor and the Government ——'I‘he Journal would like to believe that the proposed national confer- ence of Canadian Mayors and in- dustrialists on employment will bring resuts But such belief is difficult. ‘Unemployment is a net- ional problem, national ln scope. causes and consequences, and if the Parliament and Government of Canada. cannot: solve it, it 15 hard to see how a rneellnv of Mayors can do much or anything better. Ottawa's Mayor Lewis, announce- lrig the conference said that Minis- ter of National Revenue Ilslty had promised to give axslstance, would “furnish all statistics required on the whole matter." That. we sup- pose, is the right spirit, but we cannot help wondering what the Mayors can do about those matters that the Govcrnment hasn't been able to do. — O‘.-tawa Journal.

The ripening of spring grains was hastened, particularly in Eastern Oti- tario. and the development of late crops was re- tarded. Pastures suffered extensively and at the first of August were badly burnt up, with the result that farmers in the Niagara Penin- sula and parts of Central Ontario were forced to do considerable supplementary stable feed- ing in order to maintain their output of fluid in lk. Crops in the northern counties of South- Western Ontario and in most of Narthern On- tario. however, made good growth during the _month, in the precipitation in "the first area was generally sufficient and in the latter area much needed warmer and (lager weather was experi- enced.
