Canadian Trade Making Rec rds Canadian produce exported during the 12 -months' period ended` Oct. 81, 1928, amounting to $1,835,286,237, ex• ceoded in value similar exports for any 12 -month's: period since July, 1918, according tofigurescompiled by the Dominion 'Bureau of Statistics. In view of the greatdeflation in',prices of some commolities that has taken place since the former record period, this is a truly. retnarltabie achieve- ment and reflects a tremendous 'ex- pansion in Canadian production and in the growth of foreign markets for Canadian goods. In other aspects of trade, Canada's foreign commerce broke all records for any 12 -months' period back to April, 1921 p This is true of imports ($1,202,304,859), re-exports ($23,217,- 273) and collections of customs duty (3188,111,673). Canada's favorable visible balance of trade; while more than $9,000,000 below last year's 12 -months' figures at thistime, is recovering very rapidly, having gained $19,729,000 since the 12 -months total for September, It now stands at $156,198,000. a -- PARENTS HAPPY WHEN !: BABY SLEEPS SOUNDLY Here's a way to soothe crying, wakeful babies to sleep quickly and easily.

BIG ISSUE No., 49—'28 With Ambitions of the , Natives . South Africa provides the supreme instance of a society and State of European composition established in the negro zone. Color problems here are of unrivaled difficulty, and their solution, satisfactory to the welfare of all the ethnle groups concerned, is regarded .as unattainable, said a recent speaker before the British As- sociation - for the Advancement of Science. .The ideal of the Duteh'end British is to maintain . a State on the European model; neither is will- ing'to concede to the blacks, who form more than 80 per cent. of the popula- tion. of the sub -continent, an active share in the building of this State. Although Europeans established set- tlement nearly 300 years ago, thea ideal of •a white State is the conceit-. tion of the last few decades only British strongholds are the 00111:1 towns, Natal and the Rand. The Dutch are the dominant element in the rural population, which is sparse throughout. The gold -bearing Band increases in density of population fas- ter than any -other district; the in- crease is largely at the expense of the countryside. Distributed mainly toward tho cast, where grasslands are richer, are the Bantus. They are particularly dense in Natal, whore they outnumber the whites by 0 to 1, and the Eastern Cape Province. The Asiatics, chiefly Indians, are settled in Natal, where they equal the white population and in the Rand, and include the Gape Malays. Indians were admitted after 1860 for the cultivation of the Natal plantations. Though without social or political opportunity, they offere severe com- petition to whites of the trading class. A half-caste stock limited to the Cape Province comprises 40 per cent. of the population of Cape Town. It is becoming assertive of its rights and is demanding-aneffective share. in political representation. South Africa, outside the Low 'Volt and the coastal plain of Natal, pro- vides a friendly climate, though the sub -tropical sun' and high altitude (Johannesburg Is nearly 6,000 feet front sea level) are not without cer- tain ill effects; the "poor white" class, product of racial decay, may owe its condition to the cumulative effect of climatic influence over many genera- tions. Percentage increase of white popula- tion, by natural increase alone, noee equals that of the Bantus. But colon- ization is only partial. The South. African farmer•r differs from the Aus- tralian and Canadian in his complete dependence on cheap colored labor. South Africa 1s never likely to be a field for the immigration of European land workers while all unskilled labor is classified, in the code of the 'coun- try, as "Kaffir work." White South Africa is an aristocracy erected over -a great population of semi -serfs who possess no political power and iu never likely to obtain by peaceful methods social equality with the whites. The two big groupings in the black society are the tribalized Bantus and the urban Bantus' who have been persuaded to abandon the tribal en- vironment. Ka.flirs working on Euro- pean farms go along with this group., There is a tendency for the urban Bantus to increase in numbers ab the expense of the other group, and this with white encouragement. The rise by the Bantus from unskilled trades is an inevitable development: "Color bar" legislation can but 'temporarily check the operation of'ecoiomie law. Without a policy of segregation the whites and blacks in two distinct zones, so that ,each group may be, as far as possible,.' self-supporting; the ultimate, submergence et the white state is assured. The relations of the two white stocks, British and Dutch, still distinct nationalites, provide an insignificant problem in comparison with. the menace, of a conflict of color in South, Africa, "How are you getting along as a poet?"
