The. British report states 'baldly and 'without qualification the reasons why Icing Veleta and all sections of opin- lou in Irak desire to see the Brinell mandate terminated. No compensat- ing reasons' are adduced by the Got- •onlal office as to why the British should remain in Bagdad and continue garrisoning. the country against the wish,of the inhabitants. British support will be given to Irak's request for membership in the .League of Nations this year, Such membership would automatically tet' minate the British mandate. ' Irak's appeal -for membership in: the League was refused last Year by the .Conservative Government, largely for the reason that a similar request by iSgYpt had been turned down, and it was felt that to support Irak's league membership, while denying • Egypt's, would enrage Egyptian nationalists. For the same reason the Egyptian do - mend for independence could not be :refused if Great Britain at the same time was preparing •to clear out of Trak. This situation has been changed by the recently 'drafted 'Anglo-Egyptian treaty; still to be ratified, and for these and other reasons it seems clear that Labor has decided to bring the expensive adventure in Mesopotamia to an end and clear out, It is generally thought here that the British will retain Basra, with troops tetationed there as a protection for Anglo -Persian oil fields and pipe lines, His t;ajesty Pass Quiet Winter King Will Not Be Permitted to • Shoot—Reads Detec- tive Thrillers Lc udon. The King is fighting his way back to health on a literary diet of detective yarns and thrilling my- stery stories. Th'e Daily News `re- ported the health of His 'Majesty is extrardinarily reassuring attar his long siege of illness last winter, AtSandringham, the royal eoun- try estate in Norfolk - where he is spending• las summer holidays with the Queen ,the Daily News says the King's existence is simple. There are none of the great house parties which In former days featred the life at his country seat, and there. is no indication the King will be permitted to engage in his favorite pastime of shooting. His physicians felt it would. not be wise to make undue demands on His Majesty's reserve strength- and he must prepare to spend the coming winter and future winters living very -quietly and carefully. Will Unemployment in Britain Manchester "The Policy -Holder": Unemployment as an industrial des= ease is not confined to this country icor to any country, not excepting Rus- *la. Unemployment is world-wide. It is a sigh that either we are dissipat- ing capital already created, or else we are tailing to reate sufficient new eapi- tat, Int England, we do both. The un- productive expenditure of all classes terms an initial check on the creation of new capital. An das fast as new capital is created, too large a propor- tion 01 it goes down the sewer of bogus or ill -managed enterprises, The capital surviving thee,risk is swooped upon by . state authorities who levy death -duties without the slightest en- quiry as to whether ,the heir to the capital is going to squander it or con- serve it -indeed, the state promptly seta the example. of squandering all it an collar from him. To use a tren- chant expression of Mr. Willis of Nor- wleh, tlfere is no probeent in unem- p oymett: there is only ignorance. Three years have fostered many re- ntancos, There have not been inany marriages because the authorities - have frowned upon the soldiers mar- rying .while on duty, Fifty-two Bri- tish soldiers, however, will return to England with Getman wives, many of whom cannot speak English, When Mark Was Cheap In the early days of the occupation when the mark was heavily inflated and Tommy's wages represented a princely income the champagne flow- ed freely and the soldiers ate of the' fat of the land. Many of them mar- ried and supported their wives in a lavish scale while the Inflation lasted, Disapproval of such marriages by the military authorities did not lessen the rush to the marriage altar half so fall al the mark's return to a solid footing and Tommy's sad ,realization that he could not afford a wife on his wages. The tearful scenes at the station as. each contingent departs demonstrates tate affection in whip the residents of Wiesbaden and especially the frau loins hold their former enemy. Some of the last scenes between sweet- hearts recall the deperture of the sot- diera to fight in the recent war. The Germans a,4e glad to have the Rhineland evacuated but they regret that the evacuation takes• away the friendly Tommies with whom they have had such pleasant associations. Life Less Colored The troops, likewise, have grown fond of Wiesbaden with Its charming open-air cafes, its bands, cabarets and gardens. Tltey realize that back in Aldershot they will miss the warm, entertaining life' of Wiesbaden. A young Scottish tartilleryman sum- med up the situation admirably from iris angle. He said: "It is muchcheaper to have a sweet- heart here than back home, They make you save more money, and when you take a German girl out she al- ways wants to pay her share," First Canadian Air Map Issued Published By Geographical Section of Defence Department Ottawa.—The first air map , ever compiled in Canada was published by the geographical section of the Do- partment of National Defence recent- ly. The, map, drafted for the use of air pilots and navigators, covers that sec- tion of the air mall route extending Prom Montreal as far west as Morris - burg, Ont., and is the first sheet of a series which will eventually cover the entire route from Rimouski, Que., to Windsor, Ont. All detail which is of no importance to the pilot has been omitted, and: only those features included which will aid him in finding hie way about the country from the air. The first draft, an experm[ental map, shows airports, entergepy land- ing fields, ground elevations wooded and cultivated areas, power lines, wireless stations, and: magdetic varia- tion. On the back of the sheet ap- .pear plane of the airports and sea- plane bases occurring along the route. Grain Mixing Winnipeg Tribune (Ind, Cons.): (By an amendment to the Grain Act pass- ed at Ottawa last session grain mix- ing ixing in grades 1,2 and 3 was abolished. The wisdow of this amendment is questioned in the West), If any farm- er could reasonably expect that year after year be would produce nothing but top -grade wheat he could logical- ly oppose mixing in the standard grades, for without mixing he could expect the top grades to run a little closer to the maximum, of the grade and command a slightly hipper price. But the fact is that for four year's the', cars of No. 1 wheat have been con- spicuously scarce. Last year the, crop, as Mr.' N. M. Paterson told the Saskatchewan Commission a hew Jaya ago, was little better than a No. 5, be- cause of the frost damage in the grow- ing season. When there IS eo much low-grade wheat to be handled un- doubtedly the producer can market it to somewhat bettor advantage of mix- ing is permitted than otherwise.

Explorer of Arctic • A Gerinan View Tells of Recession See New Alliance Forming in Of Great Ice Cap MacDonald's Trips Newagon, Mo.—Discovery of the Moe cap which now covers auarea of 700 square utiles, with a maximum depth of 3000 feet between Frobisher's Bay and Hudson Strait, long sought by na- tural scientists, was recounted by Lieutenaift Commander Donald 13, MacMillan, on his return from his sum- mer's arctic trip on tete schooner Bow - cloth. The pap was estimated to have at one time extended over 4,000,000 square mites, Commander MacMillan said this was believed to be the last of the ice caps of the Pleistocene period, which covered all of New England, ex- cept the tip of what is now Mt. Wash- ington, to a depth .of 5000 feet, over a period of 35,000 years.

Keeping Up the Friendly Relations Cancer Treating Centres Proposed Dr. Gordon Richards Sug- gests Five Establishments Across Canada Winnipeg.—Placing of four or five centres across Canada devoted exclu- sively to treatment of cancer, was ad- vocated by Dr. Gordon Richards, of Toronto, before the Manitoba Medical Association convintion here recently. He said these centres are specially needed as the life of a patient de- pended almost entirely upon the de- gree of skill exercised in the first treatment by radium. Such centres should be staffed with men who could be trusted to do work of high standard, He declared that the greatest danger attending use of radium now was that it might be used by someone lacking the necessary skill and experience, with consequent di- rect harm; or, what was worse, failure to obtain success where success was possible.

The Canadian production of nickel in 1928 amounted to about 48,400 short tons as against 33,400 short toes in 1927, and these figure swill prob- ably be largely exceeded by the 1929 output, production for the first three months of 1929 being about 3,400 tons greater than for the corresponding period iu 1928.—Prepared at the direc- tion of Dr. Charles ,Camsel, Deputy Minister of Mines, Canada, by Mr. Ar- thur Buisson, Mines Branch, Unusual Sampler Found Among Rags Century -old Bit of Fine Stitching Bears Family Register Windsor—A sampler, done iu cross stitching, beating the family register of Amasa and Sally Murdock and dat- ing aling back to 1819, was the somewhat unusual find made by George Aldeus, operator of the East Windsor Hydro substation in a bale of rags intended for wiping machinery.
