French financial help will be extended largely because oth- erwise it is believed that Austria will become a prey to amarchy or fall into the hands of Germany. Be- cause they understand the sitwa- tion and its dangers it is not prob- able that either Britain or the United States would put a single obstacle in the way of the French decision. Germany has passed through another anticipated crisis and has paid in dvance fifty million marks in gold as part of the recently due repara- tions allotment. The bankers' com- mittee which met in Paris, decided against a loan to Germany, largely on grounds which do not altogether bar the door to assistance for that country. But the expected upheavel following the decision did not materialize. About the only differ- ence noticeable according to some despatches is that the German gov- ernment's printing presses are run- ning at full speed to increase the supply of paper currency in order to 'keep up with the depreciation in the paper mark.

The struggle to settle the war is long continued. It is well for the world that there are some men who do not despair in the face of continual dis- couragements but who stick to their job of straightening out the tangles. - Ld - Roughly five bundred thousand dollars was realized at a recent sale in Britain of 83 head of registered Friesland cattle imported from South Africa. The highest price for a single head was about twenty thous- and dollars for a heifer. More im- portant than the prices was the fact that the sale was stated to mark the first step of its kind in connec- tion with breeding cattle from any of the Dominions. Hitherto the overseas branches of the Empire have bought largely of thorough- breds from the old land. Now they are beginning to sell to her. The South African cattle are said to have reached Britain in fine condition, and to have stood all the tests required by the Agricultural Department from whom permission for their landing and sale had to be obtained. - .

About thirty thousand men are affected. It is certain that other classes will also be subjected to cuts.

The move is in keeping with the gen- eral trend toward restoration of nor- mal, or approximately normal costs in all that pertains to life. It is not thought by those whe make a close study of such questions that therc will be any return to pre-war levels in that respect, though some workers are apprehemsive on this score.

Liberals, servatives and Progressives alike admit that there is little hope of anything but deficits ahead if the government continues to operate the ships, most of which are at present tied mp in wariomus ports idle, and the laying up of half the fleet wiil at least reduce the deficit this year. It is a question, however, of when the government will be able to un- load any of the vessels, for there is at present no market for them. An interesting situation is devel- oping in the Progressive ranks where, despite repeated denials of all the rumors of discontent, some of the members are talking openly of their dissatisfaction with the present arrangement and wondering whet- her, after all, their experiment has not beem a failure. From present indications, it would not be hard, by making a few cabinet changes, for the government to tempt a score or so of Mr. Crerar's followers across the floor if they wished to do so and one is tempted to wonder whether something of that sort was arranged before anothgr session Con- opened.
