In fact, expanding trade within the British Empire is one of the most striking features of international commerce, and as the Empire trade pacts are to be revised within the 'next few months it may be interest­ ing to see what effect the agreements have had on Canada’s external trade. British Columbia to Meet Maturing Bonds British Columbia will meet its obli­ gation of $3,500,000 in 4 per cent, bonds maturing on May 15th next without recourse to Dominion assis­ tance and without entering the pro­ posed Dominion Loan Council, it was announced by Premier Pattullo.

Arabs Pillage Jewish Settlements Tel Aviv—-Arab rioters left a trail of pillage and arson through outlying Jewish settlements as authorities herded thousands of frightened refug­ ees into the comparative safety of this strongly guarded city.

Eyeing the distant clouds of.smoke over Lydda, where frenzied Arab mobs fired farms and agricultural col­ onies, they bundled their belongings into every available cart and fled.
