TERMS O CEPA AGREEMENT
Convention of World's
Banks. 'Postponed.
A despatch from New York
says According to reports
in the financial district on
Thursday, plans for a confer-
ence of heads, of the world's
banks of issue, as suggested by
Sir Robert 1-lorne at Genoa,
have been abandoned, at least,
for the moment, . because of
the lack of . harmony at the
Genoa Conference and the
proposed adjournment to The
i-lague..
Keep Canada's Cash at Home.
Realizing that Canada has been
paying annually millions of dollars-
for steel products purchased in the
United Stares, and that steel plants
in the interior of Canada have been
dependent upon the United States for
their supplies of iron ores, the Conn-
ell for Scientific and Industrial Re-
search gat Ottawa has been investigat-
ing the native iron ore resources, and
has secured reporta from its commit-
tees to the effect that it is time to
undertake the special treatment which
the Canadian ores require to fit them
for ennnnercial reduction to pig iron.
It is hoped thereby to establish a. new
and important home induetry.
AN ONTARIO FARMER IN THE
CABINET.
Honorable Charles Stewart.
Minister of the Interior, Minister of
Immigration and Colonization, Super•
infendent-General of lndinn Afiaire,
and Minister of Mines in the heavy
share of ad ninie•trative responsibility
borne by the honorable Charles Stew-
art in the new federal ministry. The
functions of Mr. Stewart's depart.
meets, and the p oblems with which
they are concerned, are chiefly de-
velopmental. On these departments,
perhaps mare than an any other gov-
ernmental agencies, the Canadian peo-
ple are depending for the initiation of
policies which will hasten business
recovery and the return to substantial
national growth.
To his new posts Mr. Stewart brings
par; on<al and public experience of
singularly practical value. 130r11 at
Strabane, Ontario, in 1808, he removed
to the west hi 1905, homesteading near
I.illam, Alberta. As a pioneer western,
farmer Mr. Stewart acquired, first
band, the intimate knowledge of set-
tlement conditions which is .essential
to a clear understanding -of immigra-
i iron and colonization peoblems. Ile
noted Indian statesman, who has 1 eer farrier can appreciate, the /Wit,
started on a tour of the British Do -
rhinions to plead for equality of status
for Indian settlers. He was the Indian
delegate to the Washington conference
and the last Imperial conference.
Plant some shade trees this
appreciates, as only a successful pion -
spring to make the old place
look more attractive. Plant a
tree for "mother," and let it al-
ways be known as "mother's
tree." A bit of sentiment like
that will bring a light to her
eyes. Better a lovely, grow-
ing, graceful elm tree now,
than flowers when she is gone.
Associate your trees by name
with members of .your family,
and the trees come to seem
like members of the family. A
humble home, with beautiful
shade trees and shrubs about
it, is much more attractive
than a treeless palace.
