W4'EDN1;SDAY, JULY 18th, 192'i
111ANCiIL'Lh; appreciation of nurs-
ing services during the tear
cone; to a Canadian girl through the
bequest of 33,000,000 by the mother
of an o1}icer whom the girl cared :for
in the base hospital at Iloulogne. The
instance is unique. The girl never
thought when she was doing her war
work that ten years lacer she would
inherit a fortune. It is a trick of
fate. But who can say that some re-
cognition was not earned.
• MONTREALis going to buy its
HI water and power company. The
city council debated the purchase for
four hours, but finally arrived at the
decision to acquire the utility. The
argument is 'typical of the province
in which Montreal is situated. The
decision is typical of a new trend.
It may be a matter local to Montreal
only, but there is every hope that it
may have its effect on the province as
a whole. Perhaps Quebec is slowly
learning its public ownership lesson
from its neighbor to the west.

THERE is one manin the United
States whose biography should
be easy* to write. He is Harry F.
Sinclair. Washington is making
plans for another investigation of the
oil magneto. There are all sorts of
records to which a man may aspire.
Mr. Sinclair has set his, and it will
probably not be beaten for litany a
day. He is the most investigated
man in the world. Not even the of-
fer of the throne of Albania brought
him more publicity than have the
actions of the 'United States Senate.
Meanwhile, Mr. Sinclair continues to
sell oil and gasoline in all parts of
'the continent. He is apparently still
rich and happy.
MEW YORK fears that a gang war
is imminent. The police are
making preparations to put down
any underworld disturbances. One
imagines that the New York police
are quite able 'co make such prepar-
ations. Gotham has had its famous
crimes, but every time they happen
they aro "played up big" in the pa-
pers. The American metropolis has
not yet reached the point whero•'chey
are only incidents in the life of a
big city. Probably that is one rea-
son why New York keeps ahead of
Chicago in population. It is only
natural that more people who really
enjoy metropolitan life would want
to live there, where their lives are
reasonably safe.
CANADIANS will be pleased to
know the British Labor Party is
in favor of whole families leaving
the old Country for one o1 other of
the Dominions. With well over two
hundred millions of acres of agricul-
tural land in Canada awaiting set-
tlers, any move that tends to en-
courage immigration of whole fam-
ilies into the Dominion will be re-
ceived as pleasant news. People
from Great Britain have shown they
can make good in Canada, if they
are of true British stuff and not a-
fraid to work. This Dominion needs
all the earnest people she can get.
No country wants any other kind.
(+APT. ALFRED LOEWENSTEIN,
third ricbest man in the world,
falls or jumps from his airplane into
the North Sea. Immediately, stock
markets on both sides of the Atlantic
are thrown into disorder. All the
Loeyenstein wealth and the huge
Loewenstein interests are left. But
the man who created them and was
the moving power in their Manipula-
tion, is dead. Therefore, what were
sound investments two days ago, be-
come speculative. After all. it is the
Iran, not the money, that wields the
real power, An official investigation
results in the decision that Capt.
Loewenstein committed suicide,
Friends and business acquaintances
scoff at the theory. If the leap, was
deliberate, it is jurat another indica-
1
tion that even wealth comet snake
the world an Eden for its possessor.

ways projrrt is .ieen in tht- statement
, of earnings just is.,ued by the Pan-
' num Canal. 1'm• the fiscal year end-
ing June 30, the tolls will approxi -
marc 427,000,000, which will be
mere than two and one -hall' millions
greater than the previous record set
in 1924, The Panama Canal, like the
St. Lawrence) Waterway. and every
other great undertaking, took long
years to complete. But it has proven
to be a success, just as the St. Law-
rence way is assured of success.
WHEN President Calles was made
the first citizen of Mexico,
; there were optimistic predictions:
Peace was at lase to come to the re-
volution -torn little republic. About
all that has happened down there in
the last few clays has been the at-
tempted wrecking of four trains, the
derailment of another and the at-
tempted bombing of still another.
Evidently President Calles did not
bring the millenium with him. Re-
volting has become pretty much of a
habit in Mexico, and old habits are
hard to break.
TTEY have 'cried the "big stick"
in New York. It has not macre
the city dry. Now federal authori-
ties pin their .hopes on another
method. Something akin to secret
diplomacy will be used as a substi-
tute map. Axe -wielding, rough -voic-
ed enforcement officers tvill go back
to their work of hunting thieves and
gunmen, and elegant young men in
evening clothes, perhaps mentioned
in the Social Register, will take their
places. The plan has a chance of suc-
cese. Whatever may be 'the merits
of the Volstead Act, America makes
almon a fetish of democracy, and
strong-arm methods seldom appeal to
its people. It will be an interesting
experiment 'co watch, at any rate.
LL THINGS, it seems, travel in
cycles. Just now, it is mail rob-
beries. Ontario has not ceased gasp-
ing at the boldness of the gang who
robbed a C, N. R. train at Toronto,
when another similar but smaller
raid took place in l\Iichigan. Now
the Leviathan, mighty argosy of the
Atlantic, becomes the scene of the
largest robbery to • date. ' Here are
three mail robberies within a couple
of weeks, which may prove some-
thing, It has been said 'that criminals
are not really of normal intelligence,
that the "master mind, of criminal-
ity is largely a myth. It has also
been said that, if the honest man of
a high type of intelligence should
turn to crime, he could outwit any
pollee or detective force. These three
robberies may indicate that there is
something its The theory, If they
show anything at all, they show that
criminals are not gifted with origin-
ality,. one form of intelligence. It
would appear that they simply adopt
the ideas of others who seemingly
have been successful
0 .00
MAIL has been transferred from
a moving train to a dirigible
in flight. Now they talk of trans-
ferring passengers in the same • way.
It has already been proven feasible
to fly passengers from ocean liners
to their destination, thus saving
many hours on the ocean voyage.
Everyone is talking about regular
trans-Atlantic flying service, Per -
}taps it is "old stuff" to say that fly-
ing is still in its infancy, but the fact
cannot be too strongly impressed.
Aviation •has done such wonderful
things in the paet few years that we
are beginning ,to look for the skilful
and enthusiastic aviators and aeron-
autical engineers who are not allow-
ing it to become an "old story" to
them, but are looking and working
toward +he future. They are the
ones who will estate for the world
more wondrous things in the futhtre,
not the ones who look backward at•
great feats aid say, "Wonderful) It
Wit never be surpassed.'

The Empire
Opportunity in
Manufactured Goods
Of 38 groups of manufac-
tured goods Canada sells
the Empire to the total of
$1/8,000,000. Itis to be
remembered that the Em-
pire imports from all
countries these goods to
the amount of $2,571,000,-
000. The British Empire
presents a tremendous
opportunity for the devel-
opment of export on these
commodities.
OLL down the map of the world. Follow the British Empire
red through the continents and across the seas. There you
see beckoning markets for Canada—where fewer trade
restrictions intervene, where British tradition is appreciated, where'
Canada is known. There we can sell. There we can also buy.
Canada is buying more Empiregoods than ever before --things we
cannot grow or make—raw materials for our factories. Since 1922
Canada's imports from Empire countries have increased 67 per cent:
Last year we bought Empire goods to the value of $250,000,000.
And what is Canada selling the Empire? Last year we shipped
$500,000,000 worth of our products to other British lands, an increase
of 44.3 per cent. in six years.
The various parts of the Empire want more Canadian goods. A
demand exists among them for Canadian manufactures, or for the
products of Canadian lands or waters. But we must see that our
exports are maintained at a rigid standard, that they are packed as
consumers desire, and that our prices are right.
To encourage this growing Empire trade, eleven of Canada's twenty-
four Trade Commissioners abroad, are working in Empire centres:
They are familiar with the demands of the people among whom they
live. Their services and the information they gather are at the
command of any Canadian producer or exporter. To get into touch
with Trade Commissioners, write the Commercial Intelligence'
Service, Department of Trade and Commerce, Ottawa.
When you buy Empire goods, you do a part in making possible
greater Canadian exports to these sister countries. Where we sell;
we must also buy.
