H. F. A. Steenkamp, of Brussels, formerly secretary of the Rubber Growers Association of Sumatra, in the course of a tour in his Ford car | through Europe, Asia, Australia, | New Zealand and islands of the | Malay archipelago. His trip is sald | to be the first by automobile be- tween the Netherlands and Dutch | East Indies. | Mr. Steenkamp landed recently at | Vancouver and is on a tour through Canada and the United States. He plans to show his Ford after its world journey to Henry Ford when he reaches Detroit. 'While driving through jungles in BRB trapped in a jungle by, interior Sumatra, Mr. Steenkamp's car was suddenly surrounded by the herd of elephants. The top over the driver's seat had been removed and replaced with a #arpaulin for better ventilation. While Mr. Steen- kamp crouched low in the seat, the elephants explored the interior of the car with their trunks. He kept | his hand over the horn button for fear a stray trunk might sound the | horn and cause a stampede. One elephant, unfortunately, burned his trunk en the hot radia | tor, became enraged, wrapped his trunk around the radiator, ripped it off and tossed it into the jungle | Eventually, however, the herd left without causing further trouble Mr. Steenkamp recovered the radia tor, connected it again with spare hose and continued on his way. In Persia Mr. Steenkamp war forced off a 40-foot precipice wher ing was to fall to a parity with the nrice of raw materials, what would become cf the security for existing loans ? Cure for Unemployment The cure of unemployment in- volves improving business profits. I'he improvement. of business pro- fits can only come about by an im- provement in new investment rela- tive to saving. An increase of in- vestment relative to saving must also as an inevitable by-product, bring about a rise of prices thus amelior- ating the burdens arising out of monetary indebtedness. But you will not consider that 1 have com- pleted my task unless I give some indication of the methods which are open to the banker. There are, in short, three lines of approach. . The first line of ap- proach is the restoration of confi- dence both to the lender and to the borrower. "There is perhaps not a great deal which can be done deliberately . to restore confidence. The turning point may come in part from some chance and unpredictable event. But it is capable, of course, of be- ing greatly affected by favorable international developments, as, for example, an alleviation of the war debts such as Mr. Hoover has late- ly proposed; though if he goes no further than he has promised to gO at pressat, the shock to confidence long before his year of grace is out, may come perhaps just at the mom- ent when it will interfere most with an incipient revival. In the main, however, restoration of confidence must be based, not on the vague ex- pectations or hopes of the business world, but. on a real improvement in fundamentals, In other words, on a breaking of the vicious circle. his car collided with a truck on a narrow turn. The car somersaulted | grams under the direct auspices of several times and landed upside down, with Mr. Steenkamp's head in the mud and his leg pinned by the steering wheel. When he man- | aged to get out thieves plundered the car. The car was involved in a second accident in Kashmir but kept going. Progress through Beluchistan was slow due to poor | roads, nearly four days being re- quired to cover 580 miles Mr. Steenkamp crossed Europe to Constantinople and then proceed- | ed through Asia Minor, Persia and India to Colombo where he crossed to Sumatra and Java, also touring Australia and New Zealand before 'aking ship for Vancouver. flower which permeated the hall The show on the whole was one of the best patronized ever held under the auspices of the Ottawa society and also in regard to the number of exhibits, Popular with Burglars of all precau Retail Mer burg! entry Frise, night Brighton. --In spite tions taken by the chants' Association, made a successful store of Mr. Harry general merchant, on Monday This makes the fourth time that the store has been burglarized in two and a half years.

Last summer own ers of 3,300 vacant lots ignored the warning and received bills from the city as a result, It is directed that poison ivy must be either uprooted or a closc-board fence erected to prevent its contact with the public The warning has been issued hy Acting Commissioner of Works F C.: Askwith Annual Picnic Gananoque.--The Ladies' Home Circle of Eden Grove United Church held their annual fish dinner and picnic at Marble Rock on Wednes- day. The attendance was scarcely as large as on previous occasions The entertainment committee made an excellent choice when they select ed anid were able to secure H.

Congregational Outing Picton. -- The annual Sunday School and congregational 'picnic of Picton United Church was held at the Sandbanks on the holiday, a large number of both young and old attending. There was a splendid program of sports for which prizes had been offered and these were keenly contested. Swimming also a popular pastime and strolls on the sandhills attracted many. Supper was an enjoyable affair, Two Negroes were discussing fa- mily relations. "Yes," said Ambrose, "I can trace my relatives back to a family tree." "Chase 'em back to a family tree," said Mose. "No--trace 'em, trace 'em." "Well, there ain't but two kinds of things dat lives in trees--birds and monkeys--and you shu' ain't got no feathers on you." DR.

"My own conclusion is that there are certain fundamental reasons of overwhelming force for wishing prices to rise. The first reason is on grounds of social stability and concord. Will not the social resistance to a drastic downward readjustment of salaries and wages by an ugly and danger- ous thing? I am told sometimes that these changes 'present com- paratively little difficulty in a coun- try such as the United States, where economic rigidity has not yet set in, I find it difficult to believe this. But it is for you, not me, to say. 1 know that in my own country a really large cut of many wages, a cut at all of the same or of mag- nitude as the fall in wholesale prices, is simply an impossibility, To at- tempt it would be to shake the so- cial order to its foundation, New Equilibrium "The second reason for wishing prices to rise is on grounds of social justice and expediency which have regard to the burden of indebtedness fixed in terms of money. If we reach anew equilibrium by lowering the level of salaries and wages, we increase proportionately the burden of monetary indebtedness. In doing this we should be striking at the sanctity of contract, For the bur. den of monetary indebtedness in the world is already so heavy that any material addition would render it in- tolerable, _ "This burden takes different forms in different countries. In my own country it is the ' national debt raised for the purposes of the war, which bulks largest. In Germany it is the weight of reparation pay- ments fixed in terms of money. In the United States the main problem would be, T suppose, the mortgages of the farmer and loans on real estate generally, The no- tion that you solve the farmers' problem by bringing down manufac- turing costs so that their own pro- duce will exchange for the same quantity of manufactured goods as formerly is to mistake the situation altogether. For you would, at the same time, have greatly increased the farmers' burden of mortgages which was already too high. Or take another case--loans against buildings.

Dr. Weizmann, pleading for spec- fal efforts toward an understanding with Arabs in Palestine and de- fending his pro-British policies, ad vocated a pelicy of equality with the Arabs. A strong faction of the congress expressed indignation at the resign- ed leader's declarations, saying that a Jewish majority in Palestine is a fundamental principle of Zionism. The eriticism of Dr. Weizmann's remarks was widespread and ex- citement was high among the dele- gates preparing for the forthcoming general debate, Dr. Weizmann's speech was de- scribed as an attempt to make a new definition of Zionism on the basis of political parity of Jews and Arabs, instead of the previous de- finition based on the idea of a Jew- ish state with a Jewish majority in Palestine. It also was regarded as the first attempt on the part of Zionists to solve difficulties arising from the Palestine riots by making political sacrifices which might lead toward Arab-Jewish understanding. Vague Document Dr. Weizmann said the Balfour declaration supporting the Zionist plans in Palestine was "admitted- ly a vague document, resulting chiefly from British Biblical senti- ments and war-time idealism which must be readjusted to post-war re- actions." He said his only disappointment with the British policy had been the declaration that Britain never in- tended to establish a Jewish state in Palestine, but merely a common homeland, where Arabs and Jews would be two autonomous factions existing side-by-side. "Any of us, who by word or deed, give the Arabs of Palestine grounds for misunderstanding our intentions are taking upon themselves a grave responsibility," he said. "I believe the British are the least anti-Jewish people in' the world. The British Government is genuinely anxious to see its policy prove a success in Palestine, but we must realize that for the British Cabinet, Palestine is not its only concern." Dr. Weizmann's final recommen- dations to the congress were for es- tablishment of a special Zionist de- partment for Arab understanding and Jewish study of the Arab lan- guage and culture. He appealed strongly for sympathy with the Arabs. arly Week | Specials Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday KELLOGG'S CORN FLAKES he 24¢C SALMON Sockeye "0." 29¢ Fit 3e AUSTRALIAN PEACHES Sliced or Halves No.3] 1-2 43¢ FRESH, RIPE CANTALOUPES 2:21c BEST ROUND "STEAK SIRLOIN STEAK wn.
