Happiness is a Profit, Too Many a man is apt to lose sight of the fact that profits are measur ed by more than money .alone, Lei sure time, and tile happiness and health which comb from relaxation, are as important as monetary gains.

These things can come only with improvements on the farm and in the home, through the use pf time and labor-saving ap pliances.

Hale ■S fHIIHIIIIIIIMIHI-I Hill*Wil 11 I0I..MMl 11 II HIM! H|H HIIHI THE IMPERIAL PREFEBEWCE & BRITISH POLICY IN GERMANY To return, briefly, to another as pect of British World Policy discus sed at the Imperial Press Confer ence, which had special interest for Canadians. It was evident 'during the Con ference that there was wide appre hension throughout the Common wealth lest the Imperial -Preference should be abandoned, at. the dicta tion of the United States. An as surance given by the Rt. Hon. Her bert Morrison, President of the Council, in his address on the Trade and Resources Of the Empire, -that “'there can he no question of (Im perial 'Preference being given up” without countervailing advantages, drew hearty applause from all sec tions of the Conference. And Lord- Altrincham, on his part, declared that “Imperial Preference is the Ark of the Covenant for the party to which I belong,” He frankly re sented the American attacks on the preferences, and expressed the opinion that “in this respect the JAImerican drive tor American pros perity has dangers for other peoples. “I am sure,” he added, “that the Americans do not realize that the campaign upon which they are set against reciprical arrange ments between kindred or neigh bouring countries is not at all cal culated to produce the great expan sion of international trade Which they desire. If the world is to con sist of two vast economic blocs, the American and the Soviet Union, with a welter of weaker states- for- DESJARDINE FAMILY HONORED BY FRIENDS The neighbors and friends of Mr. and Mrs. Desjardine, of Grand Bend, who are leaving shortly for their new home, met at the ’home of Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Desjar dine Monday evening.

DISTRICT MEETING The Woman’s Missionary Society, (South Huron), Huron iPresbyterial, will meet in Roy’s Church, Thames road, Friday, October 25, with morning nnd nftornoon sessions* The welcome will -be extended by Roy's United Church Auxiliary and Mrs. Thomas Brintnell, of Chisel hurst Auxiliary, will reply.' Mrs. L. C. White, of Talbotville, London Conference branch president, will bring a message. •bidden to come together as co-oper- ativp economic groups to stimu late their own recovery, the pros pect for trade expansion is not .a promising one.” The 'delegates from the West In dies were emphatic in declaring that Imperial Preference was the very foundation of their -commer cial system and was essential to the prosperity of the Islands, They re curred to the subject in these terms again and again. Mr, Michael de Cordova, president of the Jamaica Press Association, circulated a memorandum on the subject among the delegates, in which (he said;—- “British West Indies exports—- mainly agricultural—cannot com pete in the open market against the production of other tropical countries where wage rates and liv ing conditions are almost impossibly bad—far, far worse than Those in our own islands. Without a sys tem of Imperial Preferences, we cannot hope to sell our. sugar or our (bananas at a price which will cover our production' costs on the most efficient basis we can attain. We will face the utter collapse of all our efforts—fostered ana .as sisted by the British Government— to improve the living and social con ditions of our people. We see no alternative because we realize only too clearly we cannot compete in the world’s markets against the backward countries which produce the same crops as we produce and because we need to buy from ’other countries so many of the necessary things of life which we can never hope to produce for ourselves. The abolition of Imperial Preferences would sweep aw-ay the hope of every man in the British West Indies to earn .a decent wage un der decent working conditions and the right of every family to bring up their children in decent sur roundings?’ In this connection it is interest ing to recall it was Canada that took the initiative in bringing a- bout Imperial Preference. As long ago as- 1878, Sir John Macdonald made a formal«proposal to the British Government fol’ reciprocal trade on a preferential basis. In the last year of his life Sir John A. expressed the intention of renew ing the offer. It remained for the government of Sir Wilfred Laurier to inaugurate the principle, which has now been in effect, as the basis of much of the inter-Empire trade, for just half a century, British Policy ill Germany While on the subject of Empire policy, it may be as well if 'I re port on British policy in Germany as outlined to us during our visit to Berlin. Briefly, it may ibe de scribed as an effort to extend -So cial Democracy based on Christian humanism, by .persuasion, precept and example rather than by com pulsion. This is being done through the media of newspapers, of which there are 34 in the British zone; through the trade unions, churches, schools and theatres. The news papers have been turned ovei- to the Germans—12 to the Christian Dem ocrats, 7 to the Social Democrats, 2 to the Communists; the papers in the country were traditionally independent. The editors are given comparative freedom, except that they must not criticize Allies oper ating in other zones, a proviso laid down at iP-otsdam. They can, how ever, criticize the British adminis tration in their own zone, a situa tion which some of our .party con sidered absurd, since it tended to put the British at a disadvantage in theii' own zone. The Germans are being encouraged to undertake their own local government. All school books have been replaced. We were told there was some re ligious revival, but not so much as had been expected. The Chief Bur gomaster of Berlin, with whom I had an interpreted conversation, told me that he favoured religious teaching, in the schools. The radio effort is chiefly through the medi um of the BBC which has won a reputation for truthfulness. In 'the theateres there is an Effort to elim inate Nazi influence. The Germans, who have a passion for music, wel come British music . and British plays. The theatres 'are showing censored German films. There are, however, difficulties in the way of putting this policy into effect. These arise chiefly from the desire of the Russians to communise, not only their own zone, but the whole country. The British officials believe that, given a fair opportunity, they can suc ceed in converting the Germans to democracy. But much depends on economic conditions. The people must have a reasonable standard of living. Otherwise they will natural ly turn to Communism, since the Russians are comparing the stand ard in their Zone, which is agricul tural, with the British zone, which is chiefly industrial and cannot feed itself. The British officials are most anxious to feel that they have the support of public opinion throughout the Empire. Here it may be remarked that the Empire Press delegates ‘were very favorably’ impressed by the qual- ity of the men who are endeavour ing to administer the British zone and to put this policy into effect, They appeared to -be meh of mark ed ability, with high ideals’: patient, tolerant, with a broad outlook and not without sympathy for the dis tress of the people they were called upon to govern, even though they had been enemies imbued with -a hateful philosophy. A Busy Beaver *. That’s the name we give the Little. Beaver Grain Grinder. And youTl certainly agree when you see it in operation. It eliminates all the work and drudgery of bagging grain? loading it on a wagon? hauling it to the mill? unloading, re loading, returning home and unloading again. Think of the time you’ve wasted when this busy heaver will grind your grain while you’re doing the chores. Then, too? you have fresh chop all the time. W. G.
