total, of 57,702 innnigrants to Canada
during the lasfilscal year is reported
in the annual report of the Depart -
pent of Immigration and Colonization,
rtabled in the House of Conamons. Of
these 40,715 came from the United
States, 9,914 front the United King-
dom and 7,073 from other European
countries.' This compares with immi-
gration in the preceding year of 71,-
• 1 one the 'United States, 3,178 from
the United Kingdom, and 4,583 from
Continental countries. The decrease
in the immigration from the United
States is therefore 43 per cent. over
that of the preceding year.
The immigration of unaccompanied
British children is• expected to be re-
umed this year, after being suspend -
d since 1916. Since then 29,034 ap-
lications have been recived, chiefly
hrough children's homes, for permis-
ion to enter Canada.

Recent -Armenian Massacres
Most Barbaric Yet Recorded.
Paris,. March 7.—Detalls of the re-
cent butchering of thousands of Ar-
meniane show that the massacre was
the most barbaric yet recorded. Ten
Raman Catholic Bishops were among
those tortured to death. Mgr. Tchele-
bian, Bishop of Diarbeleir, it is learned,
was buried alive, with only his head
left above the ground, while Mgr.
Katohadourlian, Bishop of Malakia,
was roasted to death over a slow fire.

will come back financially and is able 1
to meet all obligations,. the first evi-
dence being the decision to repay the
Anglo-French loan •of 1915. Revenue
now exceeds expenditure, and it is
also certain that expors will exceed
imports by at least $1,000,000,000 nor-
mally in the current calendar year.
All this is restoring exchange so
rayidly that Great Britain has hopes,
of repaying the loans almost at the
value at which the money was bor-
rowed. It is also certain currency
will be heavily dilateti in the next few
months.
All these factors will reduce the Bri-
tish high cost of living and will en-
able the people more easily to bear
the taxation which must be continued
at thcepresent high figure until debts,
are paid and reconstruction plans are
financed.
British Food 136 Per Cent.

Over Pre -War Rates
A despatch from London says—The
cast.eof an principal articles of food in
England rose in January to 136 per
cent. oyer the pre-war level, and is
125 per ,cent. on rent, clothing, light
and fuel, according to statistics pre-
pared by the American Chamber of
Commerce en London.
Good Crop Prospects
Throughout France
A despatch from Paris says—Good
crop prospects throughout France are
reported by The Journal Official,
which states that the condition of the
tilled fields was as good in February
as it was a year ago. The 1920 win-
ter wheat crop is forecasted as likely
to be about the same as in 1919, while
some improvement in the barley and
rye harvests is expected.

London, March 7.—The sailing of
the Prince of Wales on his trip to
Australia, which was set for Tuesday,
has been.,postponed a week. The post-
ponement was because of an outbreak
of influenza on board the Renown,
on which the ‚Prince is to make the
journey, The Renown has been placed

Remarkable Recovery in Ster-
ling and Canadian Dollar.
A despatch from New York says:—
Tio that occur-
red. on Thursday in sterling exchange
was the dominating influence on the
market. The rate, advancing 12%
cents over Wednesday's closing,
touched $3.583t, the highest since
January 28. Since the best price of
the year to date was e3.7914, and the
worse price $3.18, considerably more
than half of the great decline which
culminated a month ago has been re-
covered.
On the Exchange Market it was re-
ported on Thursday that buying1of ex -
ohmage in London was exceptionally
active, and bills were not offered free-
ly. Rates for exchange on other
European markets moved similarly in
their favor.
Financial men here state that the
rapid recovery in sterling—it has a
vanced 23 cents almost within a wee
—is partly reaction from a much-ove
done speculation for the decline. Sale
of securities b3r London in New Yor
have also cut a figure..

by the blood of our forefathers, and.
that it carries with it responsibilities
in due proportion to its importance.
Tho aim of he organization is the
establishment of its motto, "Equal
opportunity to all, special privilege to
none," as a principle' of National 111 e.
If this be politics, and in' the broad
sense of that term it most assuredly
is (for politics is defined in the Stu-
dents International Dictionary as that
branch of ethics which pertains to the
management of a nation or state in
all matters which contribute to its
safety, prosperity and peace), then
the U.F.O. was political from its incese
tion.
But even to -day, it is not the Drury
Government which we are backing up
primarily, it is the principles for which
we stand and which they have been
elected to uphold. So long as they
uphold those principles will the U.F.O.
be behind them—no longer.
It is not loyalty to "the Party," but
loyalty to Principle, which is our con-
sideration.
One of the outstanding features of
our Women's Convention was the
grasp that tlfe one hundred and fifty
women present had of the actual con-
dition of the farm to -clay and the ab-
solute necessity- of co-operative in-
stead of individual effort to cope with
the situation.
One of our chief aims is to help es-
tablish cqoperative industries. We
realize that ono of the chief draw-
backs of farm life yesterday and to-
day is the fact that we have been con-
cerned altogether too exclusively with
the care of the bodies of the members
of our household—washing, ironing,
baking, cooking, cleaning, sewing—
necessary, yes, a good deal of it any-
way; but the point is that all this
pertains chiefly to the physical need
of our loved ones, and leaves us too
tired, if by any chance we have a
spare moment, to attend to the other
needs which are certainly of equal im-
portance, namely, the care of the men-
tal and spiritual life of the children.
The tendency is to leave the former
to the public school, and the latter to
the Sunday school. Both these 'or-
ganizations are vital, but neither nor
both can do the mothers' and fathers'
share of the work. Parents dare not
shift their responsibility.
But in order to meet this need we
mothers and fathers manage to spend
less 'dine on the work to which we
have heretofore been devoting our
whole time. Machinery has helped
the average farmer with his work
more than, it has helped the farm wo-
men. Now her turn is coming. Exit
the churn from the individual home;
enter the Farmers' Co-operativo
Creamery or cheese factory. Exit the
washboard and irons; enter the co-
operative laundry. If the canned geode
which the woinen in so many sections
put up in those community canneries
were "good enough" for our soldier
boys they are good enough for us.
Shall we not use our heads and save
our titne and energy for the real
work of tho farm—food production
and the training of citizens? --Mar,
