Sept., March
When Sir Robert Borden sat In
Council with the British. Cabinet It
was a definite recognition of Canada's.
new status in the Empire. Sir -
Robert was the first statesman from.
the Overseas Dominion to have smite
an honor don#erred upon him. That
it is evident an Imperial Constitutloau
will be the result is indicated by thiel
statement made in the British Paries
en,ent by. Hon, Arthur Ii. Steel -Malt-'
land, 'Under-Secretary for the Cul,!
males;
"It is Intended to take the
responsible Ministers of the Cole
antes into our confidence i.n re•
,gard to every matter during the
war and also of matters which
may arise at the end of the wow
on the question of settlement at
peace. That is the reason why
Sir Robert Borden was present -
the other day at a meeting of the
Cabinet. When I bear obje e-
tions taken by some hon. rneme
hers to that or to further level.
opments in that direction on the
ground that the Dominions
should not be involved in the
European war, I think it shows et
lack of analysis or of imagina-
tion. I cannot Imagine the Do-
minions being further Involved
in European politics than they
are at present by their voluntary
action.'
To British statesman and Cana-
dian statesman the Empire has added
Imperial statesman. Sir Robert Bor-
den is the first Imperial statesman
from the Overseas Dominions. He
has seen the consummation of his
prophecy and policy -Canada a part-
ner instead of a ward of Groot
Britain.
Customs' Revenue .
Shows an Increase
July Customs revenue amounted to
37,492,621, or $431,259 more than
the corresponding period last year.
As July, 1914, was an. anti-bellum
month it is evident that the new tariff
measures of Hon. W. T. White de-
signed to check the decline in. DOT=
enue .lave been successful. So far
all comparisons have been between
months during the war this year and
those before the war last year, when
ocean transportation facilities had
not been interrupted. August returns
will afford the first comparison be-
tween months in this and the last fis-
cal year under tee same conditions.
For the remaining eight months of
the present fiscal year it is expected
that a very substantial inorease r
revenue will be shown over the cor-
responding period in the last fiscal
year. Beginning in September, 1914,
the revenue declined very rapidly ow-
ing to the: disruption in transatlantI
freight due `to•the war, and also the
uncertainty of the business situation..
A return to normal coLditions wilt
see an immense increase in revenue;
and the July ngu.•es clearly indicate
that the import trade I' being rapidly
re-established..
A Worthy Cause
That Needs Money
Per; generous have been the con-
tributions to the various; funds that
have been created to assist our sol-
diers and their dependents. To the

pendents of those doing service in

have been contributed and for a sup-
ply of machine guns the response has
