difterence belween the French and Italian debt te England and the English debt to the United States. "France and Italy between them saved England from de- struction, France saved the life of the British Empire by her sacrifice of men, her terri- fic fighting courage. "England did not save the life of the United States--quite a long distance from it. England owes the United States $5,000,- 000,000 borrowed in war. If she doesn't want to pay it, there 'will be no war about it--only a memorandum for future use, "The debt of France to this nation is different. That nation did help us when we were fight- ing England. To forgive that debt would be welcome to many Americans." As the Windsor Telagram remarks THE BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT |; is just such mischievous stuff as PROGRESSES There is at the present time being held at Sorbonne, France, an inter- national Congress of Boy Scouts, rep- resenting the members of that organ- ization throughout the world, The happenings at this Congress are not occupying much space in the daily press, but nevertheless the gathering is ah important one inasmuch at it marks the success of a move which has for' an ideal the building of bet- ter manhood dnd better boyhood. The founder of the Boy Scout movement, Lieut. Genéral Sir Robert 8. Baden Powell, is presiding at the congress.

A near cloudburst oc- curred in the Niagara fruit district on Monday hurting the crop. Baden Powell's Scouts made his name a household word throughout the British Empire, and to hero-worship- ping boys he became the embodiment of that courage, initiative and daring which they so much admire. Soon after the conclusion of this war the Boy Scout movement was started, with the master scout, Baden Powall, as their head. Since then, in the less than twenty years between, the move- ment has made great progress, and at the opening of the present Con- gress it was announced that the membership was close to the two mil- lion mark. The membership record is at once a tribute to the founder of the organization and to the ap- pealing nature of the aims and ideals! of its program. The great plan of the Boy Scouts, to fix in the hearts and minds of the boys the ideals of true chivalry and true manly living, is one which has in it great possibilities for the devel- opment of a noble race of men. By training boys to have healthy minds in hedithy bodies, the Boy Scout movement is making a distinct con- tribution to boy welfare.

But our citizens are not going to follow any such dog-in-the-manger policy. The Drury act has made it possible for a radial to be built from Bowmanville to Toronto under what might be called the Beck plan.
