E. island Hos- pital and -their‘Campaign Director on the 'success attending their ef- forts to raise, within one week. the magnificent sum of $67,000. It was all ambitious effort and. it may be safely said, that few if any apart from the Campaign Director ilimsclf. were Sanguine of the total being subscribed. The Campaign Director was successful in ,enlisting the services of a willing Und U2' voted band of can\'laso'ers. both. 4 i I ladies and gentlemen. who literally put their backs into the work and went at it from early morn till ilewy eve and .it is to tllis, very largely, is due the crowning suc- cess of the campaign. But credit is also due to the people ‘as a whole vidio are always ready 10 get bc' hind auch a laudable movement. The organizariion counts for prac- tically everything in carrying ill- to effect the plans of the Director. .-\nii here, Mr. Barber was particul- arly fortunate in having as his chairman, Mr. Frank R. Hcartz,who gave himself and his time un-‘ sparingly to the supervision of the work. it would be iuvidious to individ- ilalize the helpers ‘but perhaps the names of Mr. Tidmarsh, Mr. Paton, and Mr. Harrington, assistant dir- ector. who were assiduous in their attention to the work of organiza- l.ion"and in supporting Mr. Heartz and Mr. Barber, are worthy of men- tion. To the ladies and gentlemen who worked so hard and uninter- ruptedly as canvassers, andthe lad- ies of Zion. who provided th-e cam- paign s_uppers too -much praise can- not be extended. l_t remains now -for the Trustees to cash in the promises so willing- ly_ and generously given. Here again organization will, be necess- ary and Mr. Heartz announces that the Trustees will associate with themselves three additional gen- tlemen to see that' -the funds sub- scribed ure disposed of to the beet: advantage.

This Canada of ours, of which wa fre- quently boast. and which, some- times, we decry as being inwffl- ciant for us, possesses, whether wn recognize it or not. greater possib- ilities, KI‘eater~._ potential wealth and greater opportunities than any other 'country in the world today. It has the area, the natural rc- solrrces, the climatic conditions that are needed for almost infinite development. One of the most in- formative publications of recent times on this subject is a small, compact volume recently issued by the Natural Resources Intelligence Service, Department of the Inter- ior, under the title "Canada, Nat- ural Resources and Commerce."

At the 'next session -two Progressives who were not strong in the new faith returned to their tiret love, the Liberal party, nick ing the King following 118 as against 116 Opposition. Follow- ing this detection Mr. A. fi. Mc- Master. a Liberal, went over to the Opposition lliaklng the relative strenth 117 each.

'rn/toe ‘The Monetary Times publishes an interesting table showing the percentage of world trade controll- ed by Great lBritain and t'ile Un- ited States respectively. Figures are given for each year since 1903. An 'interesting feature is the fact that Great Britain's export and im- port trade has changed but little during those years while that of the United States has very greatly increased. I For example in 1903 Great Bri- tain rimported 21 por cent of the worid’s total imports. During the years fioliowing, down to 1922 the figures fluetuated around 20 and 18 and fellpto 16.8 in 1912. The 'war years 1913 to 1919 are not given. lin 1920 they returned to 20.4 and fell to 19.4 .in 1922. in 1903 the United States con- trolled 9 per cent of the worid’s import trade. 'flhore was little var- iation ~tlll 1920 when -the figures went upto 17.2 and falling to 15.2 in 1922. _ 'British exports in 1903 were 13.8 of the worid’s exports. The figures fluctuaisd slowly -upwards to 17.3 in 1922. The United States percentage rose from 14.4 rin 1903 to 30 per cent in 1920; 25.8 -in 1921 and 20.5 in 1922. lt will be observed that while the llrely percepttibly Notes By -the Way in many ways conditions among farmers in Canada are comparable tooondltlono among United States lnrnlro. So far as this in gtrue :he latest annual report of Hon. “henry C. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture in the Washington Jovernment, discloses some facts that may be of interest to Canadian 'readais Mr. Wallace mnkeosome e-omparisone between conditions among farmers this year and last year. and between -the present year and the year immediately -be- fore the War. his apparent object being to show the heist. and the worst in regard to the American Farmers' present circumstances and his outlook toward the future. Mr. Wallace finds that while the American former his had a had time for several yours he is doing .i little better this year. 'He has had good crops. ln the yield of eleven major ileld crops, including various grains. potatoes, -hay and cotton, the proceeds are a billion dollars greater in 1923 than in 1922. The prices of some crops are higher than they were last year and the cost lot' production something lower. and there have been lowerprlces for some things that the farmer has to buy. ’l’-hese conditions make t.he farmer better oi! actually and relatively. Wool and cotton are still selling at twice the pre-war level and dairy products arestili nigh. These are the brightest tin-ts in the picture. The darker shades embody tho' fact that the grain market lo gen~ orallly bad, although corn has risen 20 per cent. in a year. Wheat is the -largest discouraging item. More wheat has been produced than -buy- ing consumers can ‘pay for. During the War- farmers were encouraged to grow more wheat. Now it hurts. The United Slate-S, Canada,-Austrzr .ia and Argentina are attempting the impossible feat of selling more wheat to e Europe that is eating less than ever. -Because this is and has been so, the farmer has had a had time, - bu-t -his sky is brightening a little. In the had time of failing prices for what ho had to _sell and high -prices for what he mutt buy, the farmer borrowed money and now has interest and very high taxes 'tio pay. in 1922 the taxes and ln- terest paid -by American' farmers amounted to one and three-quarter ‘-billions of dollars. That is a sum equal, as Mr. Wallace points out, to the value of all the wheat, oats. and tobacco crop, with halt of the potato crop, taken to pay taxes and interest. Taxes upon farmers im- posed by municipal and state gov- ernments, had increased from $344.- 000,000 in 1914 to $797,000,000 in 1922. All this reads like a irather ap- palling record, especially for the grain growers across the border. But it its official. There is not much in it to entice Canadian lar- mers to pass over into the United States to engage in their usual calling t'he-re. The facts should be brought home to every farmer in both countries that farming is not now sufficiently 'profitable 'to 'bear high taxation, or high interest on borrowed capital, or present -high freight rates. A reduction of all those burdens is now overdue and should be insisted upon. Tho question is alkod» Why do the Opposition rejoice over winning one byeellsctionf The ready ans- wer ls, Because it -means so much. ‘Because it. ‘places the ‘King Gov- ernment in a minority in 'Parlia- ment, an entirely untenahle and dangerous position -for any govern- ment. 'Because the Government never had any considerable strength in any province outside of Quebec. Nova Scotia, lPrince Ed- ward lsland and the French»spea.k- ing counties of New Brunswick, and the Halifax defeat took place in a Government stronghold and shattered one of the "solid blocks" on which lit rests for support Be- cause it was in line with the crush- ing -Liberal and 'Progressive de- feats and sweeping Conservative victories in Ontanio and Prince Edward island. Because of the boasted Liberal victories at bye- elections, sixteen took place within it few 'weeks al’-ter the general elec- tion of December, 1921, before any reaction had set in.
