The writs for the last Dominion,
election were returnable on the ah
of Oct. 1912. The present House of
Commons will therefore come w an
end by effluxion of three on the :Eh
of OCL. 1.916, In such ease, the
calstitutioa does not prescribe the
tint: of holding an election except in-
ferentially by directing that there
sisculd be a session of parliament at
least once in every year, so that 12
month:• shalt not intervene ,between
xwv sessions. If the present House
of Comment were to sit in parliament
till July next, it would apparently be
lrassible and lawful to defer the el. -
till June 1917.

of Sir George Foster would
have been an immensely valuable
one in times of peace, and its re-

proven ay war conditions. The fact
that Canadian industries and. Cana-

cessfully to withstand the paralysing
influences of a trade disruption that
has been world wide, is due in no
small degree to the wiee, prudent,
and far-sighted policy pursued by the
Minister of Trade and Commerce,
first in equipping the Department to
cope with lust such conditions, and
secondly in t'ri.nging the improved
service into the closest co-operation
with every branch of Canadian indus-
try and trade.

Itritish Consular Service.
Each step of this kind is taken
under the close personal supervision
of the Minister of Trade and Com-
merce. Improvements In the trade
service are still being made. One of
the early benefits obtained for Cana-
dian commerce by Sir Goerge Foster
was the placing of the whole British
consular service at the disposal of
Canada.
Not the least useful change has
been in connection with the Weekly
Report published by the Department
for the information of Canadian bust-
ness men. This report had for some
years suffered from a lack of Khat
newspa=.er editors call "live news."
Its usefulness under these conditions
was very small, and its usual destines
tion was the waste -basket, It is now
one of the most valuable of all the
Government publications.
Trade With West Indies.
Very soon after taking office as
Minister of Trade and Commerce, Sir
George Foster took up the question
of improved trade conditions as be -
1 tween Canada and the British West
Indies. This opportunity had been
long neglected, although its existence
had been known in Canada as far
back as 1892 when, as a member of
the then Government, the present
Minister visited the Islands in the in-
terests of trade extension. There was
no neglect of it after the return of the
Borden Government. Sir George Fos-
ter at once opened negotiations which
resulted in a visit of British West In-
dian
ndian delegates to Ottawa and the con-
clusion of areciprocal trade agree-
ment, which has been mutually bene-
ficial in avery large degree.

guidance has taken its rightful place
as a directing factor in the creation,
improvement, and expansion of Cana-
dian trade. The Department in the
last four years has been brought up
to a point of efficiency and of direct
usefulness which has been of the ut-
most consequence to Canada during
a period of severe commercial strain.
A Rich Experience.
Canadian Representative.
Sir George Foster's wide know-
ledge of Imperial trade conditions led
to his selection by the British Gov-
ernment as Canadian representative
on the Dominions Royal Commission.
This Commission was engaged just
prior to the war in visiting the vari-
ous
ari-ous Dominionsof the Empire and col-
lecting statistical and other informa-
tion with regard to the resources,
production, and trade of the several
Dominions with a view to possible im-
provements. The Commission's work,
although Incomplete owing to the
outbreak of the war, has been done
with peculiar thoroughness and will
prove of immense value in the reor-
ganization of Imperial trade which is
certain to folio's' when the war
closes. Interim reports already issued
by the Commission contain most val
uable information with regard to the
present and possible development of
Imperial trade.
The Grain Commission.
The administrative activities of the
Minister of • Trade and Commerce
have by no means been confined to
the development of the external trade
of the Dominion. The Canadian pro-
ducer has not been forgotten. Can -
Sir George Foster was able to ada, although the greatest wheat -
bring to this .rerk of reorganization growing Dominion in the Empire,
a rich experience, the fruits of years ; was sadly hampered up to a few
of study, and a capacity for work years ago by the inadequacy of grain -
which has always been the wonder • handling facilities. The difficulties
and admiration of those who have 1 which faced the grain -growers were
been brought within its range. As a not those oftransportation alone.
seasoned administrator, as one fa-
miliar from close association with the
growth of Canada, recognized inter-
nationally as an authority on com-
mercial and fiscal questions, Sir
George Foster had, in taking charge
of this important branch of the public
service, an unequalled grasp and un-
derstanding of those questions with
Which he was called upon to deal.
From the outset his administration
has been fruitful.
His first work was to enliven the
existing machinery; to improve it and
to add to it. He oiled the_wheels,
and he increased' the steam pressure. was overhauled, its defects removed,
The steps which he took were taken and its benefits made more directly
far in advance of the war, yet not'far
in advance of the possibility of war.
How far Sir George Foster may have
seen into the future nobody knows
but himself, but the fact remains that
the measures which he took in the
first few months of his administra-
tion could no' have, been adopted
more happily had heknown the cer-
tainty of war and the day of its coin-
ing. .1
