TAKE A TIP:
•
1. Inbaking pancakes, the 'griddle
(much better than a skillet since
the cakes are easier to turn on it)
should be sizzling hot.
2. It is not necessary to grease elec-
tric waffle iron unless fruit is add-
ed to batter. Always use salt -free
fat—melt fat and dip off the to.p.
3. Surplus fat left in pan smokes and
gives -pancakes a strong flavohr."
4. Drop batter from spoon or pitcher
,three' inches in diameter, or one
tablespoon to each section of waffle
iron. Do not make cakes too thick
tip pan to spread—a spoon may
touch an, causing cakes to stick.
5.. Bake in electric waffle iron until
steam stops coming forth. Bake in
griddle until bubbles form, and sur-
face is still moist; 'then turn once.
6. Serve pancakes immediately. •

"Deane" mean hated beans and
nothieg more to many people, but
these useful members of the vege-
table family are ve.reatlie too a.nd can
be made into a great variety of ex-
cellent andaeconomical dishes.
Here are two quite different recipes
for bean soup from the Consumer Sec-
tion of the Dominion Department of
Agriculture. • They are sufficiently
substantial to serve as main dishes
for supper or lunch and they would
certainly be appreciated, piping hot
from a thermos, by the man, woman
,wr child who carries a lunch box.

The growth • of the Commonwealth
le a. model for a world /Onafflicted
by problems arising from the unequal
development of different lands and
peoples. Every dominion began es a
dependency annexed by settlement or
conquered by the sword. Moat of
them contain conquered minorities of
other nationalities or races. Every
of teem achieved full self -govern-
-et by the practical working out of
ea democratic princinles expressed in
e demand and capacity of selaeov-
rereent, and by the mother country's
-illineness to greet it freely. The
nrineiple of growth is still active. The
eundary between dominions and de-
endencies is not fixed and the trend
'e always toward freedom.
It is not every -where understood
that the self-governing dominions are
absolute masters of their own polati-
cal destinies. Everyone knows there
is a common allegiance to the King
who is head of the family and sym-
bolises ,the common ideas and aims.
But each dominion is perfectly free,
without limit or reservation. The proof
is in Eire which decided to stay out
of the war arid was free to do so to
the great hurt of the Empire's cause,
,and with little advantage to her own
reputation. We take all this for grant-
ed; others might well ponder over it.
When they genuinely do comprehend
the moral and political achievement
which it represents, they will be in
a . better position to pronounce upon
the qualities and value of that part
of the Empire which is still dependent
in status.
One of the main motives far the ac-
quisition of many of the colonial ter-
ritories was commercial. Commercial
interest still plays a part not always
beneficent. But from an early stage
this original motive as far as official
policy is concerned was influenced to
an increasing extent by the motive of
duty and the sense of a job to be
done for people whom we found in our
care.
The colonial record has had blote
and blemishes. The picture today is
far from perfect. '• But no one can ex-
plain the progress • that has taken.
place since the commencement of the
British connection—progress in public
order, health, income, education, so-
cial services and seed of of citizenship
—except by recognizing the Operation
of motives and policies quite other
than commercial.
I :would credit us also with the lay-
ing of foundations of a good system
01 law and.public administration. On
the whole and with some exceptions, I
would 'credit us with a humane, dec7
enafateminde,d attitude toward less
adVaneed peoples in our charge. In
the weeks after Dunkirk, when there
was scarcely a dependency that could
not have' not got free from its Brit-
ish connection if it had been bursting
to do so, the great majority gave tan-
gible proof of the most touching loy-
alty toatheir British connection.
That there has been material pro-
gress from which native 'populations
have benefitted, I am well aware. But
until recently there bas not been en-
ough drive, system 'and urgencY about
our attempts to organize -the `eeenemic
life and better livelihood of the col-
onial peoples. For this defect, public
opinion at home must beanete share
of responsibility. People !have not
been interested enough in the colon-
ies. If we want 'constructive policies
and progressive purposes in colonial
government, we cannot expect them
to grow ,spontaneousiy out of admin-
istrations on the spot.
I want, therefore, to see the •adop-
ton in still fuller and more practical
spirit of the principle of administer-
ing the colonies positively for the
benefit of their own people. In the
long-term sense, the interests of the
Colonial people are in line with those
of the rest ,of the world. But if there
is a conflict of short-term interest—
for instance between the needs of the
iworld for more raw materials and
the needs of colonial peoples to grow
more food for themselves—then their
need must come first without ques-
tion,' And their :Weed for help in man-
agement, industrial and agricultural

son why it should not be done. I feel
that cautious, niggling worldly wis-
dom and counting chances while chil-

must be whether or not public inter-
est is served. Some forms of econ-
omic activity, Like postal and telegra-
phic communications, would respond
well to ownership and managembet. by
a department of state. But there are
keels of business where individual en-
terprise has a let of value even in
inedern con,ditiorisc-emall businesses
and some kind e of medium and small-
scale manufacture. Here the answer
may be that the community will best
serve itself by standing aide, apart
from insisting upon prober 'business
practice and standard minimum pay
and conditions for employees of •all
grades. -
There will be a substantial- place
foi. the co-operative movement in
trade and agricultural production and
marketing. Farmers may find the an-
swer to many of their problems and
the means of preserving • much of
what is best in wartime arrangements
by schemes of mutual aid on a system -

After the wer we, as a community,
shall have to set about making the
best living we Can. We shall have to
appinach all problems on the basis
that the interest of the community
comes first. We should have an an-
nual economic and industrialbudget
as we now have an annual financial
budget. We shall need each year a
statement of cost, not merely of the
government social services and the
armed forces, but also of the national
needs for wages and salaries, new
capital outlay and capital repairs and
renewala. We shall have to estimate
the size of the state budget and the
undone' income as a whole and relate
it to the demaeds we 'want to make

to find waysof increasing it, or else
we shall have to reduce our demands

the irresponsible handling by power-

We must be ready to spend more

this, policy of economic development s

ignorant and dangerous nonsense to
talk about grants of full self-govern-
ment to many of the dependent terri-
tories for some time to come. In those
instances it would be. like giving a
child of ten a datch-key, a ibank ac-
count and a shot -gun. But we can
combine forward policies in education
with opportunities for native peoples
to take a developing part in the forms
of self-government appropriate to
their own circumetancee. -
After the war the whole British
Commonwealth, not the colonies alone
will need and will want to adopt as
a condition. of survival, enlightened
policies of international, co-operation.
After the war' no power will be able
single-handed to ensure its .own se-

would cripple itself in the attempt,'
and I- doubt if it could succeed. Only
in a wider sarstem of political secur-
