WWhat 1remains to be lone is to ha now< .work out a program of the proposals which Germany, as a League; member, would make.

As Dr. Luther put it this _morning to one of the other' delegates: "What is necessary •noW-in to find a formula which will be acceptable to the Ger- man people." It ie, of course, impossible to say l' now what will be the League projects which the Germans will ask the Allies to support as League members.

Neither the. British nor French companies now have enough planes to cope with the demands made upon them, and over holiday week -ends, such as the recent August bank holidays, it is impossible to make more than a pretence of handling the traffic. Two years ago, according to reports from the . airplane companies, five passengers a day was considered good business, but throughout this summer travel has averaged something like sixty passengers daily from London to Paris and forty from Paris, to London Whale.r Catches Fish -for Fur- 44c. ,Potatoes—Quebec, per bag, car lots, $1 to $1.10.

He plans to use Kodiak as a base and operate on whale expeditions, selling the sea beef to blue fox farmers for food for the fur,bearers. There are now more than 200 islands with fur farms, and the.greatproblem of the owners is that of obtaining fresh meat. Foxes thrive on -whale and seal meat, so Captain -Lane will harpoon whales, shoot sea 'lions' and net tar seals for the fox farmers.
