triumph for canada writing in the financial post last week blair frascr who was in london covering the conference of prime ministers says the empire prime min isters conference ended this week with a triumph for canada and the canadian viewpoint beyond the expectations of tho most optimistic prior to its com mencement it is not too much to say that the cana dian position has proved to be themly feasible com promise to reconcile the divergencies among other commonwealth viewpoints thus the conference as a whole arrived at conclusions highly agreeable to canada without the canadian delegation having to stand alone in insisting upon them before the con- ference began the impression was widespread that canada would prove a minority of one at london and this impression deepened during the brst day or two of the meetings v hansr on now that the sixth victory loan is over and canadians as a whole have done such a splendid job it behooves us all to remember that bonds were bought in a large number of cases for post war purposes perhaps its a new home or new furniture or home improvements a new car or a new airplane tho thing to remember is to leave the savings just whoro they are until the postwar period when many of thcsethings will bo more readily procurable and at a lower cost cashing bonds now will never bring p realization of these dreams of the future bondholders will have many tempting offers of investments for these funds big profits will in all livelihood bo promised that will make the three per cent look very small- but remember with these tempting offers goes the long chance of losing the whole stake there is no security equal to your victory teonds there is no security on which you can us quickly realize in case of necessity as you can with your bonds there is no place where your money can do as much to help finish the war and speed tho day when these things you want will bo possible as leavinunjr money in victory bonds aouvo got them hang on to them until the war is over and you can cash in on the things you want v victoria day never before has the observance of queen vic torias birthday and its close association with empire day the brainchild of a canadian been fraught with such significance to canada may 24 stands for the biinuing of an era during which the theme of empire expanded rupidly into fullhedged reality until today wo find some of the larger colonics of the victorian period now fully grown to nationhood taking a leading part in deliberations as equal part ners in the british commonwealth of nations fifty years ago on the eve of the south african war there were few who could have foreseen what tho empireexpansion policy would mean in the development of the democratic tradition today we have the great selfgoverning nations of the com monwealth standing shoulder to shoulder with brit ain and her allies in defence ojt democracy only a few days ago empire prime ministers con cluded their conference in historic westminster ut which they dealt with the war situation and many aspects of foreign policy the meetings set the hullmark on the concept of equality among the na tions of the commonwealth a real advance in the application of democratic principles in the matter of empire policy canada ia tho only nation in the british common wealth and empire that for years publicly observed the natal day of the queen under whose rule the empire moved so rapidly toward its present matur ity the idea of empire day originated with mrs catherine feasenden wire of an ardent imperialist rev e j fessendcti of ancaster ont victoria day was set aside as a national holiday 09 years ago with the passage ot years it became to many just another holiday but underneath and behind the superficiality lies a significance that gives it a place with july i canadas birthday as a dominion beginning last year as a war measure victoria day was eliminated as a statutory holiday v knuntrlng after taw war predictions are made that the system or rationing foods and various commodities may have to continue for a time after the war it is predicted that the end of the war will see a great wave of spending of money under such spending many things will con tinue to be scarce until they can be produced in abundance it has been suggested that rationing will be nec essary until the supply or goods equals the demand when the supply of ckkcatial articles is considerably less than the demand some people have to go with out these things and he difficulties of shopping and tho lines of waiting people arc likely to increase the people will be mighty glad when supplies become abundant again and when they can buy any thing for which they have the money it will take kome time after the war before that ample supply can be produced until that time we shall probably yet along with less trouble to continue the rationing peel gazette v another champion fur decentralization it has alwaysbeen the belief of those who live in small towns that it would he in the best interests of the country as a whole to decentralize industry and have each community with a number of manu facturing plants but keep the community small now we have a city man mr russell t kellcy head of an advertising agency in hamilton spreading the gospel too according to report from places in which mr kclloy has delivered his address he maintains that a policy of decentralization of industry has thren distinct advantages a healthier people tho dim ation to a large client of the middlo man which means better prices for the primary producer and communities where tho people own their own homes at tho same time he points out that there must be a united effort on the part of villages towns and smaller cities to bring pressure on our provincial government farmers organizations should sup port tho idea our health authorities should work for it and the plan is worthy of support by all who be lieve in a better canada mr kelleys plan is to huve the province appoint n commissioner of industries to go into each small community and make a survey of its housing con ditions labor power transportation education in fact all points which should be of interest to the manufacturer looking for a place to locate and we might add that the municipality that gets ahead is the one that will huve this data lined up without waiting for the appointment of the commis sioner boards of trade can help in this work and promote community growth v editorial notes aaf cnubctf ilaxe books manulcript and pam phlet of th istn and
