All they thought was that it contained unlimited fertile land. Sir Charles Tupper, one of the great fig- ures ,of Canadian politics, suggested in the House of Commons that the Prairies could grow annually 3,800,- 000,000 bushels of wheat. Wealth un- told! It never occurred to him that there oould ever be any difficulty in selling it, even though in 1938 the whole world produced for its cheat needs o 4;,400,000;000: bushels. But the era of Sir Chareee Tupper was one of peace and expansion, and the guarantee of overseas security, based to so lame an extent upon the British Navy and British free trade policies, lent color to his belief. The core of the security that the world thten enjoyed lay in the steady, persistent maintenance of the trade tionatl features of British foreign pol- icy, whites set itteelf sternly against the do/nineteen of Europe by any. sin- gle power. Mainly by seat power her influence for more than two centuries was directed to the maintenance of peace and of overseas prosperity, and the Canadian farmers knew that their own future depended upon• the con- tinuance of those conditions. After the war, when the League of Nations was set up, the aim of the League was bound to coincide with the former aim of British policy.

It was because of thio that West- ern Canadians saw a series of events take place which seemed to deny the only premia which would make their continuance possible. Great Bri- tain, in the crisis of 1931, abandoned free trade and set up protection Its tariffs, as tariffs always do, began steadily to rise. In addition they saw the beginning of the decline of II the League of Nations. It began in Man- churia in 1931. It was ,continued in Ethiopia ire 1935. It progressed in Spain and the events in Auptria, Czecho-Slovakia, and Albania ho.ve completed the story up to` date. Not one of those steps from Man- churia to Munich and beyond brings any real ihope of the reopening of world markets. All they .mean is the closing of ever new areas to peace- ful traders, and what has distressed westerners moat was the apparent ac- quiescence of Great Britain in the movement. Even a partial acquies- cence means much to Western Can- ada If the factors of a smaller Bri- tish population, the sustained absence of any surplus of British capital available for export, the growing im- portance to the British of their home market -if these facts become perm- anent, then' Western Canada must prepare herself for a radical change in her way of life. If Britain begins to seek self-sufficiency, then Canada must seek elsewhere for connections through which- she can sell her vast annual wheat surplus to the world. What these connections are to be re- mains still veiled in the future. It May be asked that, if this is the crossroads at whish Canada finds her- self, why should se continue to grow wheat in such quantities? The an- swer is a simple one. Nothing else ran be grown on the Prairies but wheat. Some suggest the growth of subsistence farming an d peasant holdings. This is a hard thing to achieve in a country bound for six months of every year in an iron win- ter. But peasant holdings mean access "Give to barrows, trays and pans Grace and glimmer of romance." • He didn't, of course, but Emerson might have had in mind a certain kind of printing when he wrote those lines. 4, • The kind of printing that includes the liberal use of 'thinking . presswork that is mixed with brainwork.

These are lacking, in the quantities neede,. in vont areas of the Prairies which aitegetlrer amount to 300,000 square miles. Another alternative is to try to tura tthis south country back into range, but cattle -raising would mean a shift of population almost as great as if the district were to be de- serted -and it may well be that the cattle raised would be as hard to sell as the wheat now grown ,there. But even if it came back into range or even if it. were deserted, you will still have 1,000,000 people for whom .places must be found. What would be most likely to happen, what indeed happening on a small but steady scale now, would be an infiltra- tion of these settlers back to the East of Canada, where the climate is more pleasant and where Canada's highly protected industries are to be .found. That would create in the East the same problem that now faces the Westt_ a surplus of population on re- lief. Western Canada was opened .up as part of an international world. It can continue only as part of such a world, and in the West eyes are gaz- ing at little signs of hopefulness in. the sky. They see, for instance, the Anglo-American trade treaty signed last year. Does this mean, they ask, that the pendulum, having swung so far toward protection and autarchy, is now beginning to swing the other way? They hope so. They hope that the Anglo -United States agreement, limited though its scope may be, will become the nucleus of a trade bloc which can attract support across the world as a rallying point for the re- turn to normalcy. -George V.

To keep the style from being too, too sweet there are large clips of painted cactus leaves to trim linen frocks. Parson Sets Rules for Kissing Girlhood's age-old problem, "to kiss or not to kiss," has resulted in a set of rules laid down by the Rev. A. E., Cooke, pester of St. John's United Church, Vancouver, to the 'teens in his congregation: 1. Don't be too liberal with your affections. Girls shouldn't make their lips "free lunch counters" for men. 2. Boys should remember they are the natural protectors of women. 3. Don't isquander your emotional resources. Flippant flappers may en- tertain men for a while but quiet, modest women are usually chosen for wives. 4. Don't play with, Bre. "Petting is a natural impulse for all red-blooded young people," Mr. Cooke pointed out, "but that doesn't make it right. "Civilization is based on control of natural impulses."

Elmo, Malta. During the sixteenth century, great struggles were waged between the Crass and the Crescent. In 1522, Sul- tan Stillman of Turkey drove the Knights of St John from their strong- hold on the island of Rhodes. For some years the Knights were home- less, wandering from one Christian court to another, until in 1530 the Em- peror Clianles V allowed them to 'set- tle in Malta. ' As soon as they entered into their new home, the Turkish Sultan began •to make preparlations to attack them once more. A huge Turkish aramada was farmed, and in 1565 this was launched against Malta. Although the outlying fort of St. Elmo was captured. the Turks Sound that they could make no further im- pression on the defenses, and: so, with many of their ships wrecked', the Tur- kish Armada at )asst withdrew, leav- ing the Knights of St. Johsk the un- doubted masters of Malta. Became Home of Chivalry At the time great importance was attached to this victory. Ali Christian. ,countries paid homage to the Order. In Malta the Knights set about mak- ing- ,an impregnable fort .against any further attacks, and the spot chosen for this fort was na.ineci Valetta, after the victorious Grand Master of the Order, La Vaietrta.. For the next two centuries Malta was the hkune of chivalry and page- ant. All ,Christendom contributed to the makdmtg of Valetta, and to tate building of churches and houses. The Palace of the Grand Masters was com- pleted inn 1574, and is a fine example of subdeed style. It ins now the Pal- ace of the Governor of the Island. -The Church of St. Jelin was finish ed irn 1578, and it is considered the greatest work of the famous Maltese architect, Girolamo Cassar.
