sea. In these matters he seems to he
fairly in line with Mackenzie King,
who bas also reduced national ex-
pendituee and endeavored to promote
unity throughout the Dominion.
Conservative Leaders, both Federal
and provincial are making highly
imaginative guesses as to the support.
they are likely to receive in the
proviuee nr Qleebec. ft is true that
both Patenaude and Bourasse are oat
at all particular in the matter of th-ir
e
speeches sn long as they attain their
respective objectives, but it,will take a
great deal of speechmaking to ),rake
the people of Quebec abandon their
distrust of Ceneeevalism in any form,
or dressed in any guise.
Political expediency and servile
compromise cannot after all, works
miracles and it will be more than e
surprise if the most ardent hopes of
the Opposition Leader are not doom-
ed tof disappointment.
POPULATION AND PRODUCTION
Of the many needs for the develop-
ment of our country, the two not
standing ones are population and pro.
duction. In regard to the Former,
the Liberal government has been pur-
suing a selective policy. Perhaps the
time has come to wake our field of
preference a little wider, but there
Eire ample sources of supply, and
Mackenzie King has peomieed that
his next minister .of Immigration will
devote his whole time to the problem.
If he turns out to be a man of claim)
.and administrative ability, he should
be able to work wonders in his de
partment in a very short time•
With courage and with confidence,
the founders of this country, possinly
moved by the successes of the United
States, planned and developed the
most wonderful system of railways,
radials, transportation, canals, 'good
roads and hydro•electric power time
any country of equal eize has yet at-
- tempted. If we fully realise three
splendid resour•oes, we must have
courage to adopt -intelligent means of
expansion, and, above all, we must
shave population,
Canada has been getting hard
knocks from some of ber own sons,
apart from the statements of the
Opposition Leader, whose Jeremiahs
have begun to tire the people. One
correspondent a fete days ago stated
in the Preen ; "Conditions have been
ab very bad in Western Canada, that
even the very beat farmers could
hardly keep above water." This: does
not jibe with the fact that there has
not been the crop failure in the
proyince'of Manitoba tllie year, and
that in Saskatchewan last week a
world record was broken when
1,600,000 buebele of wheat passed
through the elevators of one comp-
any.
The Dominion cannot prosper und-
er the Meighen policy, but it will
grow and flourish if the King govern-
went is returned to power with a
majority large enough to allow it to
pursue to success and fruition those
plans for the good of the country
which the Ptemhee and his followers
have foreshadowed from time to time
during the present campaign.

This is the Gospel, the law and the

The electors of this country should
study the nature and source of this
attempted indoctrination of the
)people. If they give the matter care-
ful thought -and we trust they do
for their own protection -they will
'set that no matter who prospers by
the" high and still higher" tariffs, they
are persnus who pay the increased
mist of commodities. But where does
there exist at the present mameut
any need for the uosttum, the pal-
liative, the cure-all, proposed by the
Conservative party ?

Expports of Canadian products dur-
ing the twelve months ending August

an increase of over $70,000,000 as

The entire Province of Prince Ed-

Indications are that 1925 will be
one of the beat tourist seasons ever
experienced by Montreal. It is esti-
mated that 760,000 people from all
over the continent visited Montreal
last year, while this year the number
is placed at a million.
It is understood that .. contract
has been let for the laying of a sub-
marine cable from Vancouver Island
to Suva, Fiji Islands, by the Pacific
Cable Board. This is part of the
"All -red" cable and wireless route
which is being established between
British possessions the world over.
In order to facilitate the work of
the air force patrol radio stations are
being erected at the Pas, Norway

"Judging from the e...6tiet8 of
sound business activity noticeable
here, British. Columbia is launching
into an era of constructive develop-
ment which augurs well for ber fu-
ture prosperity," comments Grant
Hall, Vice -President of the Canadian
Pacific Railway, who recently spent
ten days on the Pacific Coast.
"at long as the Canadian Pacifie
Railway has a dollar left in its treas-
ury, it will fight for the ideals, up-
hold the faith and maintain the preci-
ous heritage of confederation," said
E. W. Beatty, Chairman and Presi-
dent of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way, when addressing the Canadian
Manufacturers' Association at their
annual convention held at Hamilton
recently.
Eleven hundred pounds of speckled
trout, gray trout and pike were the
trophies taken back to New York
recently by seven members of the
Caughnawaga Hunting and Fishing
Club, private preserves near Mont-
real, after a two-week stay on the
fishing grounds. The catch included
a 19-1b. gray trout and the average
weight worked out at around eight
pound*.

Frank W. Ashby, secretary of the
Australian Manufacturers' Associa-
tion, visiting here recently, said the
impression in Australia was that
Canada was the back door to the
North Pole. People in the Antipodes
think that Herschell Island and Baf-
fin's Bay are linked up municipally
with Montreal and Winnipeg, he
said. He was surprised to find the
Dominion had a delightful climate
and cities more modern than those
in Australia.
What is stated to be the biggest
log jam in sixty years recently oc-
curred on the Montreal River in a
gorge through which the river flows
into Lake Temiskaming. 300,000
logs were piled up to a height of SO
feet with a width of 250 yards, chok-
ing the river for 300 yards down at
the point where the jam took place.
An army of 100 men, working night
and day for three days, at last sus-

A three-week tour of Canada by
teachers and their friends, under the
auspices of Doan S. Laird, of Mac-

July 20 on the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way. The party will travel by train
to Vancouver. and Victoria, and will
rotten by way of Southern British
Columbia, across the northern end
of the Prairie Province* and by boat
from Fort William east. Stops will
be, made at all the principal points
of interest,
