_When... the Canadian Prairies began
to be opened up, more linen 50 years
ago, the statesmen at Ottawa bad no
idea of the new country's potential
worth. 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. Col -

wheat is a quality product, needed for
b1ende in every country of

ing to find that .the Canadian Prairie
dwellers adlded to their leag-etaiuit
advaeacy tef' flow tariffs, and...0:4
tianall trade a wholeheartedonapPert
for the alms and ideals of the League
of Natlans.
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

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. Fergu-
son, Managing Editor, The Winnipeg

Girls, We Wear Them
Gadgets that women consider adorn-
ments -no man is expected to figure
out why -range this summer from
lanterns to cactus, according to The
Associated Press.
One of the new items in costume
jewelry seen today in the retail sec-
tion was a small metal lantern, a copy
in miniature of one that might have
lighted Charles Dickens through a
doorway. It decorates a young mod-
ern's spring suit lapel.
Red and white is an important
warm weather color combination and
in line with this are clips of extra -
big, super -big luscious red strawber-
ries to add a smart shortcake note to
a white sports .dfess.
Some designer must have wandered
into a candy store and been inspired
by trays of mint wafers. As a re-
sult women are wearing necklaces of
two dozen colored candy -like discs.
The vogue for, turnips, cabbagas,
and other vegetables in costume jew-
elry is rivaled this 'season by large
clusters -of pastel and bright colored
composition flowers in clips strung
lei -fashion into necklaces and brace-
lets.
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."
Dionne Quintuplets
Are Never Spanked
None of the Dionne quintuplets has
ever been' spanked, their physician,
Dr. Allan Roy Dafore, sail recently.
"We have just have a quiet little
room," he said in an interview, tell-
ing how the children are disciplined.
"We put them in there to reflect on
their sins for a few moments. The
others point and say ';ah, ah,' and that
cures them."
In the punishment room is a chair,
table and book, he said'.

Knights of St. John Recall
Valorous Defence of Malta
The Order of the Knights of St.
John of Jerusalem, :first founded dur-
ing the twel4th. century; is today cele-
brating the 374th anniversary of the
defense of Fort St.. 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. If the ex-
terior of this church is rather austere

In 1798 the Knights were homeless

captured Ma'lt`a., forcing the Knight&
to seek sanctuary where best they
could.
The Maltese soon foand; that rola

from the sympathetic administration

In 1814 the Treaty of Paris ratified
the voluntary cession Made by the
Maltese, and laid down, that "the is-
land of Malta. shall belong in full'
rights and sovereignty to His Btriitan-
nic 'Majesty'." Thus this small island
which both Nelson and Napoleon deta
