numerous frons all three provinces,
and already quite a large acreage of
wheat is reported seeded.
It is in Southern Alberta where the
most progress has been made. Reports

River country, are also to t'he effect
that work is proceeding rapidly, and.
the first report of oat seeding comes
from this point.
No reports of decreased •acreage
have come from any part of the West,

quest of the German Government ment that

formulate promatly such proposals
reverting reparations "as would pre-
sent a proper basis for discussion," it
would "consider bringing the :natter
to the attention of theallied Govern-
ments in a manner acceptable to them,
in order that negotiations may be re -
fumed speedily."

celdor Fehrenbadh and Foreign Min -
later Simons, was directed to Presi-
dent Harding, and was transmitted

RATION PLAN
OF THE DOMINION
Canada is Ahead. of Other
Countries Regarding Medical
Examination.
A de=
etch from London
p says;
Canada has taken a step in advance of
other countries by the institution of a
•sy stem of preventive medical exam-
-minion of immigrants at continental
pallet Dr. Jeffs, of the Dominion De-
rartreeet of Public Health, has air -
lived here and is working in emanate -
ten with the Inuuigratioan Depart -
area at Havre, Rotterdam, Antwerp
and ether European ports from which
neu' citizens wail for the Dominion.
Praspe. ti:'e immigrants are looked
over and the ;ate amship conrpaniee are
advised if they are au likely to pass
the exam:cation at the port of arrival
in Canada. The De minion has no
legal right of rejection of immigrants
In any European port, but if the
steamship companies disregard the
Department official's advice, they are
liable to a fine in case an unfit immi-
grant has to be refused entry, in ad-
dition to having to provide transpor-
tation back to the port of embarkee
tion. In instituting this new system,
the Dominion Government is in ad -
Tame of the Uniteal States, the only
action taken by that country along
this line being the establishing of de-
Iou,ting stations at European ports for
immigrants embarking for the Res
public.

No Hurry for Peace
A despatch from Washington
says :-President Harding's atti-
tude as reflected at the White

tion declaring a state of peace
with Germany and Austria.
Chairman Porter, of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, who
discussed it with the President,
said he had. not decided when it
would be introduced or in what
way, if any, it would differ from
the Knox resolution.
Mr. Porter made it clear he did
not believe there is any rush
about the resolution.

Lord Montagu of Beaulieu, one of
the foremost aeronautioal experts of
England, recently stated that one of
the chief drawbacks of commercial
aviation is that at present only short
journeys are attempted, sodh as that
between London and Paris, ..where a
sarvin:g of only three or four hours is
possible, Air transport's greatest op-
portunity, he believes, wild be in
longer -trips, such as London to. Italy,
Egypt, and eventually India.
