It is a five -storey 40 -room house, at 1746 Massachusetts Avenna, built about 50 years ago as a private resi- dence, but equipped . with such ,anod- ern things as telephone exchange and elevator, so that the business offices of the legation can be opened at once.

The purchase price of the new le- gation ria understood to have been around $470,000, including furniture and equipment. The transaction was concluded in New York between rep- resentatives of the Canadian Govern- ment and the owners. The area of the lot on which the new Canada house stands is 20,800 square feet. It is rated at a high real estate value, but diplomatic quarters being immune from, taxation when. owned outright, there will be no bill for taxes.

Car. Found Near Ottawa May Have Carried Bank Bandits Ottawa. -A sedan, which, it is thought, n'iay possibly be the. car of the three robbers, who on Thursday got away with nearly $20,000, from a Toronto bank,, was discovered on the Prescott highway, abandoned, four miles south of ,North Gower. The automobile carried no license mark- ers, which :leads the police to believe that the automobile was stolen.' .Ef- orts to locate the owner. of the auto- mobile and to establish the point fxQQm which it was stolen were futile, but' it is expected that a 1926 license marker found beneath the back seat may lead to.' the determin- ing of these facts.

For close on a century the European -powers have been en- gaged n- Pe a d in a game in the Far East,the B ge b'' stakes of which have been the control of Chineso trade. Japan joined the game about half a century age° and for a time counted • large winnings. Now China herself is taking a hand in the game. Not that she has been wholly indifferent heretofore. The Chinese are inveterate gamblers and the mandarins of the old empire were 'consummate masters of the art of playing off one power against an- other. The leaders of the National- ist movement, although they have somewhat different ends in view, are quite as. ready! to adopt the same tac- tics and have thus far played with better success than did their predeces- sors of the imperial regime at Peking. Tlie latest achievement of the Na- tionalists is an agreement with Great Britain concerning the status of Brit- ish concessions at Hankow and Kiu- kiang. These concessions, formerly under British' rule, are transferred to Chinese jurisdiction' and are placed in the hands ,of a commission- half Chinese and half British. The signing of this agreement .is perhaps the most encouraging evi- dence which has come out of China in rceent months that the relations be- ENT LIMITATION PLAN` 1 TO BE PRESENTED AT GENEVA Press Comment Britain's First Lord of':the. Admiralty to Submit Series of Proppsals to Reduce Size of_ Capital Ships: Lbndon, April 24. -It •is learned that when the. Three -Power Naval Conference convenes -at' Geneva June 12, W. C. ;Bridgeman, First' Lord of 'the British Admiralty, will submit a series of British proposals for the fur- ther limitation of naval armaments which Will embrace a change of gun power on future warships and revert- ing to smaller cruisers, and a fixed tonnage for submarines. The proposals will urge the reduc- tion from 35,000 tons to 20;000 tons for capital Alps -meaning a saving P P g of 2,000,000 pounds sterling (about $10,000;000) in the cost -of future battleships -and reverting to smaller '.cruisers not exceeding 6;000 tons. I With the desire to cheek the grow- ingscompetition in destroyers and submarines, it is proposed to fix the 'maximum roughly, at 1,000 tons for each craft. tween China and the powers can be placed upon a new and equitable basis without a complete disruption of trade andintercourse, n terco use which has been of thegreatest value to 11 all parties con - earned. It shows a disposition on the part of the Cantonese leaders to ac- cept a new arrangement which re- moves the irritation of the old foreign oris diction in j Chinese territory without subjecting areas which have been developed under the old regime to the tender mercies of inexperienced or acquisitive Chinese officials. The signing of the Hankow agree- ment has to some extent allayed the fears aroused by the successful ad- vance of the Nationalist armies to- ward Shanghai. With a score of for- eign battleships in the river and some 20,000 foreign troops being sent to the Chinese•port there was grave danger of.a.dash between foreigners and Chinese which would.have fiad the most serious consequences. This dan- ger has not been entirely'removed, but if the Cantonese exhibit the same willingness` to arrive at an amicable arrangement concerning Shanghai as they did at Hankow, the tension ever Shnghai should be relieved -even in the event that the Cantonese are able to drive the Northern forces from the city.

Canada is not content with the six "exclusive" wave -lengths and ,the twelve others that it "shares" with this country, and its demands in this respect will be pressed at the proper time. The attitude of the Dominion in the matter of broadcast is concili- atory, but the Ottawa Government, according to information just obtain- ed, still feels that it must have more wave -lengths to Satisfy the needs of the broadcasters and listeners -in on its side of the lioundary, 4.

They' may go down to the lower edge of: the broadcast band, where no station wants to be. or they may go out of business, but off they get. Canada's radio problem is thus solved with a single determined`. ges- ture.

Britain Stands Firm. London Morning Post (Cons.) : To talk of any further concessions in the face of such outrages is absurd. The British are now in strong force both at Shanghai and on the sea. The action of the Cantonese s in letting t loose inob violence against all foreign nations has ranged those alongside the British. It is not now for tha Cantonese to make any demands. On the rontrary,it is for them to make tl r itution and to promise amend- ment. ment. Coke From Nova Scotia. Halifax Herald (Cons.) : It is ridi- cnlous for this nation to continue im- porting tens of millions of . dollars worth of United States coal annually, when the enormous reserves' of Nova Scotia coal can be treated to supply a suitable substitute for the best Un- ited States anthracite and thus meet the exacting requirements of the do- mestic markets of the Central Pro- vinces. The Capital of Canada. Edmonton Journal (Ind. Cons.) : The beautification of Ottawa is an object which should appeal to all Canadians, regardless of how far away their homes may be. The pity is that so few of them have paid a visit there and had the opportunity of ad- miring its splendid site and all that has been done to enhance its charm. We should at least be as familiar with it as Americans are with Washing- ton. United States and the League. Sydney Bulletin: The U. S. A. has had two opportunist victories in world politics; but, however pure its intentions, it IS unlikely to gain an- other in 1927. Perhaps it will never gain another until it joins the League which was fathered by Woodrow Wil- son and rejected by the Senate, and formally subscribes to the principle, already accepted by Britain, France, Italy and Japan, that "the mainten- ance of peace requires the reduction of national armaments to the lowest point consistent with national safety and the enforcement, by common ac- tion of international obligations." Soldier Land Settlement. Victoria Times (Lib.) : Soldier land settlement in Canada was a peculiar- ly difficult work. Canadian soldiers given the opportunity of assisted re- habilitation by way of the land were. settled in a. period of peak land values when top prices had to be paid for stock and other. equipment. Immedi- ately following such establishment came the agricultural depression. Some inevitably fell away, discour- aged from n variety of causes, most of which are understandable, The. assimilation in this manner of a largely untrained body of citizens was a national rather than an economist 'work, and it is to be noted that a not inconsiderable proportion of failures have been due to death and recurring service disabilities. Hospitals and the reedy. Le Monde Ouvier (Ind.) Far toe. many people are treated in hospitals. The object of these institutions is to gather in the indigent sick who have nq homes,but this object is never at- tained, because the beds which were intended for the destitute and the down-and-out are occupied by the wealthy, who have both warmth and roof over their heads... , In prin- ciple those who have homes should not take the place of . the poor who have not even stones on. which to lay their heads, yet rin• practice it is these who are the most Welcome, In the old days one used to believe that the rich paid for the poorly -clad and the penniless, but in sober fact they chase' them out. • Much.griei'`,will qg1ne, this year to i ose farmers who do not take time to teat their seed cora.
