Some Canadian editors are wroth at the idea. Some subject it la mockery. Yet others express great sympathy. with the United States iitits Prohibi- tion problem. The latter urge, Canadians to do all they can to avoid conflict with (the American regulations, and pot to eon - done violation.' Their argument is that to the long run profits gleaned from. liquor selling can not do Canada any. good. In the matter of the American dry lay, the London (Ont.) Advertiser notes that there seems to: be choice be- tween enforcement and obedience on the one hand,: and lawlessness border- ing on chaos on the ether. Thisdaily then remarks: "President Hoover makes his choice enforcement, and as thaeChief Execu- tive of the nation, he can do nothing eIse without repudiating his duty. "In this situation it is unfortunate that Canadashould seem to be against • the -Government of the United States: and on the side of the lawbreakers. Some say, `Let the United States en- force their own laws.' It is true that we are not called upon to assist our neighbors in enforcing their laws, but it is equally true that we shouldnot assist those who are breaking the laws, especially when the. President and the Government are straining every nerve to make enforcement more effective. .There is so question here between wets and drys in Canada. Canadians. - will lose no partof their liberty. They will continue to be governed by their own' laws, no matter what is done to restrict exports. The question is one ot international relations ,and neigh- beely'conduct. er • "The proposal to increase the duties cn certain products of Canada when exported to the United States has no- r thing to do with the case. We are at liberty to make any •ort of tariff we please, and to look elsewhere for trade, but not to plead that the tariff of the United- States is an excuse for conduct which maker it more difficult for tbe Government of the United States to enforce the laws of that country." Ina press cable to the London Daily Mail, its New York correspondent points out that if the wishes ,of the authorities at Washington are fulfilled, the boundary line between Canada and the United • States, which for more than a century has required no army for its defence, will be dotted by a foece of 10,000 coast guards on the United States side. What is more, this informant tells u3: "The frontier's 100 ports of entry are also to be increased to 600, and in future, it is proposed, no one is to be allowed to cross from one country to the other except through one of these posts. "These changes, it is explained, are rondreed necessary by the exigencies of Prohibition. ' As the United States custom -houses at each of these ports of entry must have their Canadian counterparts, the new scheme, to be a success, requires the co-operation of the two governments. Fake Prornoti . nus Exceed illi The selling of stocks which, if not absolutely worthless, are of a highly speculative nature, has beeome one of the biggest businesses in America.' Investigators estimate that in an av erage year one billion dollars—near- ly one-fourth of the money invested in new security isuses—goes down the financial sewer. Tbe proportional magnitude of this waste is indicated by tbe fact that the fact that the nation's annual invest- ment in new building construction ap- proximates only three billion dollars, and that the annual hill for automo- •bies is around two and a quarter bil- lions. The money thus wasted in a single year would buy two million automo- biles and would duplicate every public improvement in the shape of schools, hospitals, sewers, paving and water supply made within the same period by American cities of more than 30,- 000 inhabitants: And this waste is altogether inex- cusable for there is not a man or wo- man in the land who is denied the ex- pense or inconvenience, the authorita- opportunity to obtain, without ex- tensive information and sound counsel that make safe investiment possible. It is now some years since the Bet- ter Business Commissions of the coun- try adopted as their slogan the phrase "Before you Invest—Inver"t ;ate." But the public, it seems, has not yet learn- ed the lesson. "Hitherto Canadians and Americans have crossed the border wherever they pleased, provided they notified the nearest port of entry of their cross- ing." Just how big an industry bonder bootlegging is, we are told, may be gathered from the figures for the ex- port trade of Canadian distillers,, brewer:;, and wine -growers for the year 1929. As cited by the Ottawa Evening Citizen, the record shows that: Apart Prem home consumption, the export of alcoholic beverages—whisky, beer, and -wine included—in 1929 was valued at $29,559,929 as compared with $28,448,333 in the calendar year of 1928. • "Of this total quantity, last year, $20,787,100 worth went to the United States and the balance to other cotnn- tries, but evidently the traffic is de - dining somewhat, foi in 1928 the ex- ports to the States totaled $23,- 150,4e8." A new international aspect of the • problem appears in an Ottawa press dispatch to the Vancouver Sun. Ac - twilling to this information the United States may in future wet wrangles lieve to deal with the Government of Prar.^.e nnd not with Canada.

We do not, of course, overlook the consideration that a naval base at Singapore would be of very great 1m- po•tance for the defence of other parts of the British Empire likewise. It is not merely an Australian question. Our eoncern for it, however, is 4:1 - creased, not limited, by the fact that it is requited for the defence of India, the British possessions in Africa, the East Indies, and the China seas, as well as for Australia and the Pacific; for we are part of the political system to which these possessions pertain, and their security is ours. ADAIVISO AYiViJRICU IrS=..,B1, ®> Jacolissou ,Y f; ° us;ine"ss Young Duke of Norfolk Forms Company to Administer Estates London — The Duke of Norfolk premier member of the British peer- age who came of age last Olay, has followed the example recently given by so many heads of Britain's ancient landed families. He has formed a limited company for the administra- tion of his estates. The .-• nominal eapital is $250,000, and he is perman- ent governing director and chairman. The estates are estimated to be worth millions of pounds, though parts have been sold since theform- er duke died. Norfolk House, the duke's London residence, which serv- ed as a club for Canadian women dur- ing war work in London, was sold last year. Arundel Castle, the great re- sidence in Sussex, still possessing much of its ancient feudal appear- ance, has been rented more than once by prominent visitors from the United States. From this castle the dtnke takes the oldest of his numerous titles—Earl of Arundel, 1139. The Ducby of Norfolk was not created until 1482. The pres- ent duke, who owns about 49,500 aures, succeeded the fifteenth duke in 1917, when he was nine years of age. Between that time and his coming of age last year the estates were admin- istered by his uncle, Viscount Fit- zalan., "Wheilig expo ham e e:;atta t0 the th tad Sten n dente., in November, 1920, Were 1:11 u'+ iallons, as Coin- • pared wicn ceay 87,771 gallons in the :ams ?ronin in 1021; Isbi-ky cx,p-.res le $t Pierre in Novireber, 1020, were 188,900 gallons, as compared with only 63,250 gaiiols i,, November of tee pre - aloes year.

The Bank of England may ap- propriately undertake the task of in- termediary in bringing other institu- tions into collaboration. But Mr. Nor- man is beyond doubt likely to recog- nize that it is undesirable fen' the Bank of England to be too directly concern- ed in the development and administra- tion of plans that may involve the fate of many individual concerns. It is of the fest importance that the cen- teal bank should maintain, and that the city should have complete confi- dence that it will always maintain, absolute impartiality in its dealings, whether with banks or industrial con- cerns.
