The note points out that in perfect accordance with its rights and "with the atmest oourtesy"', the United States has re- quired Britain to make arrangements for the payment of the accrued in- terest on the war debt since 1919 and to repay the loan, on a funded basis in twenty-five years. The Brit- ish note--addressed to her Euro- pean allies and one copy sent to Washington--states that under the circumstances Britain is compelled to ask her allies to make arrange- ments looking to the payment of their debt to her. Britain regrets having to adopt such a course, her wish being to follow a far different one in the hope of aiding in the quick restoration of normal condi- tions in Europe, NM LJ LJ Columns might be devoted to the analysis and to comment on. various phases of the British note on cancel- lation of war debts. The slightest trouble in figuring, however, will show that Britain would still be a gi- gantic loser. Her offer really amounts to a readiness to forego ag- gregate debts due by the other allies and Germany of some three billion four hundred million pounds if the United States will wipe off the slate some eight hundred and fifty million pounds due by Britain. The latter country will still have enormous bur- dens to bear. Her own people would be, in fact, paying for huge amounts loaned to others. The United States would also be standing @ heavy loss. But she is today the wealthiest sin- gle nation of the world. She cannot hope for a great revival of trade with Europe so long as most of the coun- tries there are in a practically hope- less financial condition.

William Banks. ® (3 . While Britain is seeking a hold way out of the old world's financial muddle, France has brusquely dis missed the German request for a partial moratorium on what are known as the subsidiary reparations Requests for postponement of pay- ments on debts ineurred to French citizens before the war are also de- clined, This comes on the eve of ¢ new 'conference of allied premiers at which all these questions will once more be discussed. France is obvi- ously disinclined to believe that the Germans are so incapable of meet- ing their obligations as to the Ger- mans claim, Following the failure of thelr petitions to the French gov: ernment, the German authorities are saying that a series of new financial crises are Inevitable in their coun: try where the mark--approximately 24 cents at par--is now down to be. tween 600 and 700 to the dollar, * . . Greece has a genfus for getting in- to trouble, Having failed in her campaign against the Turkish Na- tionalists, she suddenly startled the old world with the annoucement that her armies would march upon and occupy Constantinople. Britain and France answered within the hour that the Greek communication was received that no such movement would be tolerated. The compara: tively small garrison in Constanti- nople, which also includes Italians 'Bas been strengthened by additional British troops from Malta, A British fleet has also arrived to strengthen the naval forces off Constantinople and in adjacent waters. The Greclan government was told in plain lan- guage that France, Italy and Britain would not hesitate to attack any Greek forces marching toward ths Turkish capital. Observers in old lands see in the latest move an at tempt to save the Greek moparch) drom exile. They figure out that Greece is anxious to withdraw from the campaign against the Turk Na tionalists which involves the keeping of nearly three hundred thousand men in the field and the expenditurs of seven million dollars monthYy. Thugh failing in the attempted cap ture of Angora form Yhe Nationalist the Greeks nevertheless by force o! by treaty arrangements followin' the war, have confirmed themsel- ves in the occupation of considerable terri tory. Looking after part of thir would keep them busy enough with- out proceeding further in the fight with the Nationalists. The people are discontented in the home land be- cause of the drain on the man power and the finances of the country hence the dramatic move as to Con stantinople, With that city and its surrounding territory in their pos- session the Greeks could abandon other claims and still satisfy nation: al aspirations. They would also. pro- bably, give much of the credit for attaining the goal to King Constan- tine. As things are now they may turn against him any day. Another point to strengthen the view tha' the Greeks will back out of some of the territory they have occupied is seen in their declaration of an auto- nomous state, under Greek protec tion, in part of Asia Minor and whic} iz to bear the ancient name of lonia It's a great game of national and in- ternational politics that fs being plaved, but one notices that Britain is being called upon to furnish th: bulk of men and ships to keep the peace around Constantinople.

There are many Canadian interests in Brazil, none of which seems to have been jeopardized, * 0 Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, in- ventor of the telephone that bears his name, and who died at his sum- mer residence at Baddeck, Nova Sco- tia, was Canada's most famous sci- entist. Though a native of Scotland he was residing in Brantford, Onta- rio, when he began the experiemnts that resulted in the telephone, These were conducted through a series of years when Dr, Bell was spending his summers in the Brantford home --or, rather, in the home just near Brantford--and the rest of the year at Boston University introducing a system of visible speaking, the in- vention of his father. In spite of all the claims to the contrary, and par- ticularly in the Unted States, where he spent a great deal of his time, the discovery of the telphone, both as to its main principle and first transmis- sion of the human voice, was at the Brantford home. Dr, Bell himself frequently said so. On August 5; 1875, he gave the firts exhibition of the invention to a few friends, The home at Brantford which has many souvenirs and mementoes of Dr, Bell, is preserved as a point of pubs lic interest. There is also a striking monument in the téwn to him. Dr, Bell was an inventor and an im- prover of many other things for the benefit of humanity in addition to that immensely useful convenience of modern life, the telephone, but his name will ever be associated with that, He gave freely of his time and his means for the benefit of humanity, and was a fine and like- able man in many ways. It is a tribute to Canada that this country restored him to health when he was brought here by his father in that hope. Dr. Bell was even then =a young man, For a while his strength was not sufficient to enable him to take part in the life of the city near where he lived, but when he began | to gain robustness he made the ac-| quaintance of many Brantfordites| and left a distinct impression on! their minds though he was generally | regarded as being somewhat eZcen- tric. Canada can justly claim him| as her own, but will not quarrel with either Scotland or the United States! as to their share in his making. LJ . * : The right of Canada to retain] twenty million dollars' worth of se-| questered German property in lien | of her prospective four per cent. share of reparations to be paid by Germany to Britain is the subject of 2 conference in London. Represen- tatives of this country and of the mother land are going over the whole situation. Canada has received some six and a quarter million dollars as her share of the cost of the army of occupation on the Rhine. Some think that is about all she will ever get from Germany, hence the ques- tion of the disposal of German prop- erty seized here. Recent events in- dicate that additional payments from | Germany in which Canada might] hope to share are remote. It will! help some, however, if Canada's con- | tention in the present instance is! upheld, The fact that the idea fis under consideration is another re- minder that while it may take only a few days to get into a war, it is of-| ten a matter of years to get out of it. Germany is learning that lesson | every hour, but she is not the only pupil. War must be paid for.

R. Steel Company The most striking instance of the development of the chain store in Canada, and the building up at the same time of a large group of Can- adian shareholders, is represented by the achievement of the L.R, Steel Company, Inc. The progress made hy this big or- ganization since {its inception without a parallel in chain store business. The unusual conditions that have prevailed during the year have made it apparent that the chain store represents the greatest example of merchandising service, as it is stated that it was the only line of business which, under the less active industrial conditions, was able to re- port an increase in general husiness done over previous years. Stores in Operation In the Canadian field, the IL. R, Steel Company, Inc., are now operat- ing their 5c to $10.00 stores, and lin- gerie, waist and hat stores in Tor- onto, Ottawa, Owen Sound, Goder- ich, Sault Ste. Marie, Oshdwa, Ont., two stores in the city of Quehee, one In Montreal and one at Sherbrooke, iQue. Cafeterias are also in opera- tion in Montreal, Sherbrooke and Ot- tawa. Recently the company has also is|R opened a very large store in Brant- ford. Notwithstanding the fact that sev- eral of the stores on the American and Canadian circuit were oply open during a portion of the year, a gross business of over #7,500,000 was re- ported for 1921 hy the affiliated L. Steel merchandising companies, With all the stores to be opened dur- ing the year, the Board of Directors are now looking for general business to double the sales of 1921 and to re- port a total gross turnover for the year 1022 of approximately $15,000, 000, Larger Earnings This large increase is looked for owing to the number of stores that are being added in important centres and the fact that the majority of the stores opened last year will be in operation for the first time for the full period of twelve months. The programme for store openings by the company in the present year include Three Rivers, Montreal, Re- gina, Saskatoon, Brandon, Hamilton, Calgary, two in Vancouver, The Brandon and Hamilton stores will he ready for operation in the next sixty or ninety days. A ------------------ REGORD IS SET IN HOMEBUILDING Total For First Half of The, Year Shows Big Increase One of the most encouraging fea- tures--and there are many of them-- in Canadian building statistics for the first half of 1922, is the steady expansion which has occurred, month by month, in the value of-grk per- formed, says "Maclean's Building Reports." Starting with the smal total of $8,392,600 in contracts award- ed during January, the figures com- piled by Maclean Building Reports Limited show a swiftly rising tide, which culminates in the $35,620,400 record for June, the latest month under review. The progress of the industry may be set forth as. foi- lows: January F:bruary March April .. ...8 8,392,600 . 10,718,300 13,465,000 . 29,428,400 May .. 34,827,300 June : 35,620,400 Analyzing the above table on the basis of locality, it appears that On- tario leads conspicuously, account- ing as it does for more than 56 per cent. of the £132,452.000 half-yearty Dominion total, as follows: Ontario $74,586,900 Quebec 31,294,200 British 9,738,600 Manitoba 4,969,900 Alberta 3,685,200 Nova Scotia 2,957,000 Columbia Saskatchewan 2,656,400 N.
