It particularized, it is said, more than any trade treaty up to the present time, The Beard- of Trade President stat- ed that the .question of reparations ,vas outside the' a eat,, but that ,Great Britain maintained that the 26 per cent. recovery tax is sabjeet to e re vision `provided some alternative method ran be produced whicb has the assent of all the necessary par- ties and which gives the same amount of cash to the British Government with. the sante rights ;o'f priority:" TIib speaker added that the'British Government was prepared to favor- ably consider such, alternatives. Sir Philip Lloyd-Greame pointed out that the dominions and colonies have the power to adhere to the treaty whenever they wish, and that' there is a provision in the agreement that as long as any dominion gives most - favored -nation treatment to Germany It should have full rights under the treaty for a period of two years. The t'ight to give preference under the treaty, is maintained intact. The treaty, he continued, load only been concluded after consultation by the Board. of Trade and the Foreign office with leading shipping and aonr inorcitt interests and the Federation of British Inuits es. 'there was found to be .a striking coricensus, of opinion that such 0 treaty should be made and It was .expected that trade irr 'both countries ; would be greatly benefitted. Germany also would bene- fit greatly by the removal of discrini-. ination against the employment, of Germans, particularly on passenger vessels winch, before the war, em - played several thousand ,Germans as ,dycr: hands. There were a few .exceptions made in greeting most -favored -nation treat- ment, it was said, such as where there were already existing agreements with other nations and where Germany' he'd 'already made trade' concessions to other nations under the agreements signed as a result of the war. Under the treaty,'the speaker con- cluded, Germans' and Englishmen were granted mutual rights in respect to person and property in each other's territory. This will now allow the Germans to reopen vast numbers of banks and commercial houses which nourished in London before the war. Natural Resources Bulletin. The Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Dept. of the; Interior at Ottawa says:— Fishing through the ice in winter is one of the activities of farmers and settlers in many parts of Canada,. especially in the neighborhood of Takes. This industry le one of con- siderable importance in Western Can- ada, particularly among the northerly. lakes.
