TO 1011 LEAGUE., 1ON$, DECLARES LLOYD GEORGE, A despatch from I-Iamiltori says :-- Vibrant with Cymric Are, and his heart full of the purpose of peace on earth, Right Hon. Mn Lloyd George, in en interview with the pressmen while en route to Niagara Falls, rath- er frankly reminded the United States of its Iiitrropean obligatione:, " Lloyd George said he did not like to imPose his views on the United States regarding its foreign relationships, but since he had been asked to give these he would state them as frankly as poseiblee In a word, he held, there could be no peace—no enduring peace—until the 'Wilted States joins the League af Nationseire He kelt that the Uriitecl States ought to become a signatory to the League, and believed that it would do so in the near future. Prefacing his answers by pointing out that by the .Treaty of Versailles the United States had the same obli- ga.tion as any of the oiler allies in the Axing of reparations, Lloyd George emphasized that when the, Un- it d States failed to ratify this treaty the whole fabric of reparations was necessarily altered. . The plan of Mr. Hughes, seineaecan Secretary of State, he said, was simply a restoration of the body that conven- ed on reparations before the United States disapproved of the Treaty of Versailles. This treaty, he added, brought the United States into adjudication on European affairs. It made the United States the only 'disinterested party. Therefore its presence was vital i EMPIRE LEADERS MEET IN CONFERENCE such a judicial body as the committee thet convened to fix reparations. The United States would thus have hen the, most valuable member of fehat "It would have been the biggest• achievement in, the history of the human race if the United States had allied itself with. the other English- speaking nations in the League of Nations," he declared, ardently. "Britain and the 'Unite.d States, of coulee, are already in agreement to impose- peace ,on the world, but there can neve e beepeaee until the United States joins the League of Nations. It will have to come. It aught to - come. The moment you get it there will be Peace. The little nations of EurePe :are frightened to death. Let Britain arid` the.‘ United.States be de- termined , to have peace—and there shall be peace. These ,two great na- tions in themselves could impose peace. Ther would be quite enough. Not a gun would 'have:te be fired; no nation would -dare to stand "up against this 4 combination—the combination of Great Britein' and the United States insist- ing on a rational peace,.' , Lloyd George was asked at this point, if such a combination did exist and -war was threatened, would Great Britain and the United States have to enforce any form of economic pres- sure to ensure peace. He replied that they would not. It would not be nece,s- sary. For this reason he ardently hoped that the United States would seen become a signatory te the nLeague of Nations. Developments Arising Frona Italo-Greek Dispute Ex- plained by Cecil. A despatch from London says:— The Imperial Conference met an Thursday in the morning and after- noon. The Marquis of Curzon, For- eign Secretary, opened the session with a statement of the political de- velopments as a result of the Janina murders which brought on the recent Italo-Greciancrisis. Lord Robert Cecil followed with an address on the League of Nations, dwelling in dotail en the developments arising from the dispute between Italy and Greece. There was same criticisin expressed in the subsequent discussion, it is understood, but the general tenor of the proceedings was anindication of the strongest desire an the part of eirlegefethe Governments represented -zat the Imperial Conference to give the fullest support to the League. The Canadian viewpoint expressed was that as regards European affairs, the League was the best agency for whatever mediation might be 'neces- sary. Sir Lamer Gouin warmly thank- ed Lord Robert Cecil for his assistance at the Gerieva assenifoly n mgaiel tO the Canadian objections to Article:10 of the League covenant. Sir Lamer outlined the history of the Canadian apposition to the article in its orig- inal form, remarking that the Right Hon. C. 3. Doherty, forener Minister of Justice, had originally only accept- ed the article under reserve. He added that the interpretative clause, meeting the Canadian objections to the original article and submitted to the recent as- sembly of the League, might be con- sidered as havieg been accepted by the various nations in view of the fact that only Persia had voted against It. When the Imperial Conference meets again an Monday the Marquis of Salisbury, Lord „President of the Council, will initiate the discussion on Empire defence. ' Lord Salisbury's statement will deal, it is expected, with defence generally. Colonel L. C. Amery, First Lord of the Admiralty, will subsequently deal with the prob- lem of naval defehee. First Consignment of Niagara Peaches Well Received A despatch frOm London says:—In-1 tercet has been aroused in the fruit' trade here by the first experimental consignment of Ontario peaches to the country by Niagara Peninsula grow- ers. About 1,400 cases of peaches have! arrived at Southampton in good con- dition, and London, Liverpool, Men-: chester and Glasgow have become the centres of distribution for tho fruit. The office of the Agent -General for Ontario informs the Canadian Press that the experiment of shipping peaches to Great Britain has been fair- ly successful and worth continuing. I Another consignment of Niagara I Peninsula peaches' is expected in a few dart. Long List of Duties Await Return of Prince desparieb from London says Tho Prince of Wales, whose Canadian tour is being followed with great in- terest here despite his incognito, will find a heavy program of official en- gagements awaiting him on hie return. He will be able to spend only two nights in Landon beforo going' to td- , inberpsh to unveil a memorial. Canada will harvest 470,328,000 bushels of wheat from the 1923 crop according to the latest estimate of the Dominion Gm -element. The oat crop is fixed 585,124,000 bushels, and that of barley 80,048,000 bushels. The 'Awakening' of South Africa.'

What is there to be admired in the conduct of that man or, woman who habitually keeps other people waiting? It is an unlovely feature of a certain temperament that affects to despise the simple, homely virtue of being on time. Yet why is it sinart to be late? It requires no brains, no skill, no tal- ent of any sort, to put in an appear- ance after others have assembled and business is begun. " Recipes for .success are numerous and advice to young people on the gentle art of getting ahead is abun- dant. But a commencement speaker or any other uplifter would rather talk about patriotism, or honesty, or thrift, or any other resounding moral topic, than deal with such a prosaic, homely, mechanical_rnatter as keeping one's appointments to the minute. If we haven't time, as we are for- ever telling one another, it is bec.ause we waste so much time—our own time and other people's time—in being late. We argue that other pi'ocrastinate, and so why shouldn't we delay? Every maxi who has served on a committee -- and who hasn't?—knows whet_ it means to comee promptly to an engage- ment and be punished for it by having to wait till others come. Usually those who are late seem to think they ca.e make up for it by all talking at once; but that does not help the position of the clock hands. Let those fond of figuring sit down and calculate the immense losses due to the want of promptness. We cannot afford to let this besetting sin becbrne our national vice. Nationally and in- dividually, we have too much to do. Those who would end an undertaking, in due season must begin on time. Lateness, first or last, has reined many a man and a good deal of busi- ness. Premiers Sworn in at Bucl-inghern Palace A 'despatch from London Says : --- Before Kieg George at Buckingham Palace on Thursday, the Peerniers of Canada and Australia, W. L Mac- kenzie Xing and S. M.

Many marred couples, are hardrY ever separated, and this, is one reason why the bloom wears off their union and they becoxne bored with one another, grow quarrelsome, and sem,etimes end, up in disaster. • A splendid wife hnd mother tells us that she would be driven into an asy- lum if her husband ihould stay at home all the time. Yet she loves him as much as he loves, her, and they are very happy; but she knows well that having a man around the houseCall the time would he intolerable. She also knows that, in oa'se ithar- many should by any chance develop, a few days' complete separation would tend to restore normal relations. "When away from one another," she said, "we forget our little differences, prejudices, and annoyances, and re- member only the best things."

Natural Resources • Bulletin. ` The NaturahResources Intel- ligence Service of the Depart- ment of the Interior at Ottawa says: A large'increase in the fruit export business between Can- ada and Great Britain is ex- pected as the result of a sub-. stantial reduction in the ocean freight rate on apples, moving between Atlantic port and ports in Great Britain, word of which was reeeived by the Canadian Horticultural Council here. Ap- ples will now be carried in ordinary stowage at a rate of 90 cents per barrel and 30 cents per box as compared with a former charge of $1.25 and 45 cents respectively. The refrig- erated stowage rate will now be $1.40' per barrel and 50 cents per box which represents a similar drop in prices to that of the ordinary stowage. W. 'D.
