PRONOUNCEMENT ON

League of Nations Idea Should
Clear up Indians' Claims,
Says Struts.
•
A despatch- from' London says:—
Premier Jan Smuts of South Africa,
in hie speech made at the Imperial
Conference Monday, but only issued
here- Thursday evening,,on the politi-
cal and economic status of British In-
dians intother parts of the Empire,
made what is likely to prove a mo-
olmentous declaration regarding the
r relations of the component parts of
do the -British Empire towards each
r. other, particularly regarding the inde-
pendent self-governing Dominions._
He strenuously resisted the Indian
claim to political and economic equal-
° ity with citizens in other parts of the
Empire, stating that the claim arose
t from a fairly general "misconception
of the nature. of British citizenship,"
n; a misconception, he added, that . "all
subjects of the King are equal." He

The newer conception of the British
Empire as a smaller League of Na

equal nations under a common heredi

further departure from. the simple•
conception of unitary citizenship. •
"Each separate part of the Ent ire
will settle for itself the nature and in-

bulletin.
Tho Natural Itosources Intel.
ligence Seevlco of the Depart-
ment of the Interior at Ottawa
says:
Of all the many natural re.,
sources which Ontario possess-
es the greatest is her people.
The natural increase ''from
births is her hest .source of
population, and the growth and
maintenance of thisinereaae is
her fust duty.
The Dominion Bureau of Sta-
tistics has just issued a report
on Vital Statistics for 1921,
which gives some interesting
figures on Ontario's birthrate.
In that year there were 74,152
births, exclusive of 18,340 still
births. Of living births there
were ,38,307 males and 85,846
females, or an execss of males
of 2,462. During the same year
there were 6,763 deaths of chil-
dren.under one year of age, of
which 3,918 Were male and 2,-
845 female; under five years of
age, 8,553, of which 4;8.74 were
male and • 3,679 female; r under
ten years of; age, 9,481 deaths
of which 5,385 were males and
4,090 females; thus reducing
"•the excess of male births before
the age, of ten years is reached`
from 2,462 Ur 1,289.
It is also interestingto note
the lower rate of infant mor-
tality
in 1921 as compared with
1920. In the former year of
every 1,000 children born 91.2
died, while in 1920 of every
1,000 births ,103.7 died in the
first year of life.

Two -Minutes of Silence.
Down in the Town's loud heart; -
We, an our tasks intent, `
Heard sudden stroke, of bell,
And therewith silence fell
As suddenly, set wide apart,
Above our desks we bent,
Each in some sphere of silence all his
own—
Not to another known.
My ayes I covered with both hands,
e, Brooding the sacrificeof many lands
—
s What had it meant?
And then, a thought—1 heldmy
breath-
t The soul within me said;
The _world whose dearest -best sank
s down to death--
This
eath-This world itself is dead,
A world that could or would not mend
its ill,
Gone, suddenly, star's -still! . ,
As I sat brooding there, nor heard
the bell •
That for the others -broke the silent
, spell,
One spoke -between a ensile and tear,
Her voice; half aiding: "Waite, wake
up, and hear -
The children 'singing -down the street
they go."
I caught .the 'symbolled meaning—
Hope, not Fear .
But I—would I might know!
—Edith M. Thomas".'
(
Quietly, I waited in the crowded
streets;.
I heard soft music, saw the gleam of
guns,
Then some one whispered gently at
my side:
"Here cornea the. King (God .bless

Soldiers and sailora, brave and loyal
men'•
Were thein, but., midst the splendor
only one
Bright rspot of glorious color met my
eyes,
The Flag across the body of my eon.

host, •
Gallant, triumphant joined them on
their way,
Dear, faithful, mourning mothers, dry
your tears,
For all your
