"There, now, is the way we are go-

and pains and ekpense and labor that
have been expended on this piece of

to have it soon looking hke a friend-

It is interesting to note in

that Canadian tobacco is look-

British importers and Manu—

erior flavor, and in this respect
is superior to tobacco' imported

experts are plans plans when will

be .cons'idesred at the meeting, which
probably will .last a month.
This conference is the first normal
one since 1911, as Post'wap problems
occupied most of the attention of delle
gates at ;the last gathering: Much` will
depend upon the course of events this
s1.1111mer. 1f real progress 'is made to-
ward re-establishment of economic or-
der : and .Anglo-French relations, the
imp erial Pre in will have a cliff erent
program to consider from tbe once
which now presents itself.
,An expert with a broad outlook de-
s.crihes the problems as follows:
First restore.ton of Europe to stable
conditions • 'in which world trade will
move freely; second, the relation Of
the British Enupire with Russia which
offers a great market but is now a law
unto itself; third, the relation of the
"United States to the British Empire
and more particularly to the whole of
Europe.
Dozen Other Questions.
There are a doyen other gnestionn,
such as Palestine,: Mesopotamia India,
Kenya, the League of Nations, Singa-
pore, air service --but all are more or
less dependent on: the answers to the
three problems • mentioned. Not all re-
presentatives of :the dominions ropy
ho1c1 the; same views en these ques-
tions, bat that is an additional reason
why the conference should be held this
Year. •
