The photo shows the scene as Has Excellency the Governer-Gendeal was reading the'speech from the Throne -
One of the rtenarkable_features of
our organization is the fact -that with-
out exception the leaders have been
sought out by the organization. In
no case has the individual sought the
office -the reverse has beets, the pro.
cedure, This ieltues-true cif the Pre.
mier, of the men who compose the
cabinet and of the members of Parlia-
ment elected by or rather through the

organization.
By the way, perhaps one might ex-
plain now how we refuse even now
to be recognized as a political' party
M the ordinary meaning of that term.
No one was mtnje surprised than
were the leaders of the U.F.O. at the
5tcpme. All the summer previous
great gatherings were held and ad-
dresses listened to with marked at -
"tendon by crowds of people. Never
once did any speaker on the plat-
forms direct the ambition of his OT
her hearers toward political power Is
a goal. What wo did and do advocate
most strenuously is that the inda
victual voter regard the power which
he or she possesses in hie or her bal.
lot -that the franchise is the most
sacred possession of the citizen of a
democracy -the epitome of all his
privileges, that it is a arivilegehought
by the blood of our forefalhers, and
that it carries with it responsibilities
inalue proportion to its importance.
The aim of he organizatiOn is the
establishment of its motto, "Equal
opportImity to all, special privilege to
none," as a principle of National life,
ef this be politics, and in the broad
sense of that term it most assuredly
Is (.tor politics is defined in the Stn.
dents International Dictionary as that
branch of ethics which pertains to the
management of a nation or state in
all matters which contribute to its
safety, prosperity and peace), then
the U.F.O. was political from its incep-
tion.
-But even to -day, it is not the Drury
Government which we are backing up
primarily, 14 10 the principles for which
we stand anli which they have been
eleeted.to uphold. So long as they
uphold those principles will the U.F.O.
.be, 118311041 them -no longer.
It is not loyalty to "the Party-," but
loyalty to Principle, which is our cum
sideration.

A. despatch 'from Ottawa says: -A

ment of Immigration and Colonization,
tabled in the House of Commoas, Of
thee 40,715 came from the United

The immigration of unaccompanied
British children is expected to be re-
sumed this year, after being suspend-

Plications have been received, chiefly
through children's homes, for permis-

BRINGING UP FATHER
The Famier's Export Market.
Tho Canadian farmer to -day wants
reasonable preof that any increase he
makes in live stock will flea its mar-
ket. That is the crux of live stock
terming. The farmer wants a return
for his investment of Capital, labor
and care.
Month by month "the evidence is, ac-
cumulating . that there is a market
which the Canadian can reach of
which the fringe has scarcely been
touched. Prospects for exports of
meats become clearer every month.
Devastation of war M Europe left a
deep cut in thesubpeles which will
take years to restore, if indeed, they
will ever get back to a pre-war level.
A able compiled for the Internation-
al Institute of Agriculture by Mr. T. K.
Doherty, LL.B., given In the "Agricul-
tural Gazette," shows that, excluding
Russia, there was throughout Europe
between 1914 and 1918 a drop of six
million head in cattle, 9% million
bead in sheep, and the enormous total
of 2414 million in hogs. The • last
naiued is"a hiss of almost 50%. Dee -
pita material increases in some coun-
tries, mainly on the American /conti-
nent, 111 that period there was a world
decrease in swine and theep, though
a net increase of 7% in cattle.
There is another factor which will
have a more direct appeal to the Mr -
seeing fanner. It is that for years
before the war the decline in the
world's supply of live stock had been
proceeding so steadily and.irresistibly
as to amount to little less than "slow
starvation" in meats. This was not
confined to one country; It was uni-
versal.
Our Canadian position is tapical.
Between 1908 and 1915 sheep and cat-
tle declined from 20% to 25% and hogs
remained about the same for the nine
years. A similar tendency teas nee
timable in the United States,. where
between 1908 -and 1417, despite an in.
crease in swine, iltere were marked
decreases In cattle antrsheep.
Put in plainest English, this means
that there has riot been In the -world
for several. years a sufficient number
of meat providing animals to meet the
demand. Especially is the demand for
meat great in Great Britain, which is
becoming more and more a manufac.
tering country. Precisely there have
aur Canadian meats, notably bacon,
already won a high place; the pro.
duct is preferred and the access to the
tarket is easy.- The leison is obvi-
ous, Moro live stock should be pro-
ducecl on Canadian farms for export
to a market already waiting for our
supplies. These meat exports will be
a factor of increasing importance 114
maintaining the general prosperity of
the Dominion. The two siinplefled
tables below show the quantity and
value of farm products exported in the
five-year period,1914-1918, and give an
• outline of the, trade which could be
done were the right type 08 live stock

A. despatch from New York says: -
The remarkable recovery that occur-
red on Thursday in sterling exchange
was the dominating influence on the
market. The rate, advancing 121/2
cents over Wednesday's closing,
touched $3.58%, the highest since
January 28. --Since the best price of
the year to date was $3.791/2,.and the
wont price 93.18, considerably more
than half or the groat decline which
culminated et month ago has been re-
covered.
On the Exchange Market it -was re-
ported on Thursday that buying of ex-
change in London was exceptionally
ective, and bills were not offered free-
ly. Rates for exchange on other
European markets moved similarly in
their favor.
Financial men here state that the
rapid recovery in sterling -it has ad.
vanced 23 cents almcest within a week
-is partly reaction from a much -over-
done speculation for the decline. Sales
of securities by London M New York
have also cut a figure.
It is admitted, however, that the
movement has a deeper significance.
Economically and politically, the
seigns in Europe bays been encourag-
ing enough in the last few weeks to
put some quietus on the pessimistic
talk about Europe with which; the
American market has been layered.
It lealso believed here that recent in-
dications of probable steps to save
Germany from bankruptcy have had
something to do with increasing fin-
ancial confidence.

ket closing, a' ve17 considerable im-
provement over recent quotations.

British Hold Big Industrial
Fair.
What is expected to be the greatest
industrial fair ever held in Europe
was opened shrailtaneinaly in London,
Birmingham and Glasgow on February
23, says a London despatch. 34 18 held
under the auspices of the Board of
Trade. The purpose is to promote the
sale of British goods at home and
abroad.
The first Britise industrial fair was.
held in 1916,,but at that time many in -
Mistrial plants were busy making mu-
nitions and coimegetently, were unable
to participate in it. This year, how-
ever, the situation is vastly different,
as almost every factory has returned
to peacetime production and therefore
will have exhibits., •
The London section of the fair is
being held M the Crystal Palace, the
largest exhibttton building in the
world. Every line of goods manufac-
twed in Great Britain is shown. In-
vitations Were issued to 50,000 foreign-
