On The War Debt Question The Prudent Man It remains true that the citizen of most value to this country is Uio man who uses Ws money wisely to secure the best life f<ir himself and lils de- pendants, trusting as much as pos- sible on prudence and forethought and as llttlo as possililo to chance, and that any who incite him to an opposite course are enemies to the country's welfare. â€" Tlie Spectator (i/indout. Few Films For Children J.

"While 'adult themes' have their place on the screen." he remarks, "the inotlon picture Is the vehicle of enter- tainment for the masses. The screen's great preoccui>ation, just now, with subjects unsuitable for family enter- tainment tliieateiis not only to do- erease the patronage of the young I)€ople but of their parents also.

Lots of Time The St. I.,awrenco waterway is a pro- foundly lmiK>rtant matter, but it is not one about which ihere need be any life-or-doath rush, on behalf of either the United States or Canadian public. It deserves full debate and extended consideration, and If it has to be iwst Switzerland The piiuciplos that have guided this llttlo country with its few millions of inhabitants may well he studicHi by the rest of the world, and principally by the Great Powers. In spite of many attractions inviting large-scale produc- tion, Switzerland has rf-niuined essen- tially what she always was; a coun- try catering to the needs of the world as they are, not as .she miglit choose to see them; making a living as best she can; retraining from wild specu- lations; adhering to old and sacred principles of conservatism. Savings are still going up in Switzerland. Swiss cheese, with all its world-wide popularity, is still produced in some M.OOO dairies, most of them rather .«mall. Graft and corruption are un- known quantities in Switzerland. It may seem a bit oidfaslioined, a bit lieliind the times. Yet events have l)oriie out her wisdom. This little na- tion, by a remarkable display of politi- cal character througU centuries, has laid a foundation upon which many of our hopes rest. Yet we know Swit- xorland mainly from .\lpine railroads and tho lure of St. Moritz. There is a lesson in all tliis, and our discovery of it may mean much for our own fu- ture. â€" George Gerhard in The North .\nierican Tteview.

That very outspoken man, Mayor Webb, of Win- nipeg, has exprossed his views with his customary vigor, and he is all for Canadian trade through Canadian channels to the fullest extent that is possible without definite injury to business. Halifax and Saint John have been showing that they can handle grain without tlio slightest injury to any Canadian interest, and that is the most convincing kind of testimony. The rest of Canada a»n confer a great boon on the Marltlmes by recognizing flieir ports and building up their Irans- porlalion services. It does not lu- folvo sacrifice, and whatever makes the better tiroes hero ensures a larger market for what other provinces have to sell. -.Maritime Mercliant Speed Not First In the flood of motor car advertis- ing accompanying introduction of the new models for IIISS, partciuUirly note- worthy Is the lack of emphasis on »pe'd.

There are in round ligures some 20,000 professions or occupa- tions, according to a review made by a bureau in Washington, Herbert L. Troyer, secretary of the Canadian Educational Guidance Movement, stated in an address hero. Pointing out that tho problem of vocational choice was a coinplcic one, now that the plumber of yesterday was the sanitary engiui^er of today, and that there were 300 occupations in the United States -claiming profe.-sioual level, Mr. Troyer said that the boy of today was faced with an enormous problem and considered that there ought to be a central bnreixu in Can- ada to whii'li problems could he re- ferred. UNITED STATES War Debts Mr. Iloosevelt went to tho heart of the problem In his speech ot February 2, 19^2, when he called for an earljr accord regarding future payments. Un- certainty is one of tho factors delaying the return of normal economic condi- tions. While the debt question liangn flro, fur example, England cannot get a new par for sterling and return to the gold standard. Like many other related matters, this Is of much Im- portonca to American trade, and ao to tho Budget of tho United States Govornmont. â€" Colonel House in For- elcM Affairs (New York).

Sir William Clark, High Commissioner for tho United Kingdom In this country, gave a British audi- ence a faithful account of Canadian conditions. Recently returned to his Ottawa post, he presented a highly in- teresting report on tho existing situa- tion in the .Motherland. He quoted an eminent American llnancler a.s' saying shortly after the war that If facts and figures proved anything, England was too badly crippled by the four-year conflict ever to recover; but that, ow- ing to the character of her people, his- tory would repeat Itself and she would again achieve her former wealth and prestige. She Is still hampered by heavy unemployment, by closed world markets, and by the universal depres- sion, but Sir William enumerated a suf- ficient number of inspiring facts to warrant us in believing that the United States financier was right. The fact is that during the years prior to the world depression the Bri- tish people made at lea.sl some of tho necessary adjustments which were later faced by other nstlons. This partly explains why the shock of the 1929 slump has fallen on her with a less severe impact than upon some of her industrial rivals. The number of unemployed In Brltian has not grown as it has in other countries. Indeed, the absolute volume of utiemployment in Germany and the United States Is undoubtedly much greater than in the British Isles, and It bears a much higher proportion to the total indus- trial population than in Cirest Britain. The United Kingdom has also been helped by the adoption of a protective tariff and by the Otlawa trade agree- ments, although the benefit ot these agreements has not yet. for want of time, begun to be fully felt. During 1932 Great Britain largely maintained the volume of her export trade at a time when the foreign trade of the United States, Germany and France was collapsing. The exports ot tho United Kingdom fell by less than seven per cent, as compared with 1931, while those of the United States declined 33 per cent.; those of Ger- many 41 per cent., and those ot France 37 per cent. What is more, the Indices of lodustrial productioa show Ihat the situation Is relativelf worse in France. Germany and tilt United States than In the United King, dom. That is to say, the Index has fallen much more rapidly and inudi more severely in all three countrlef than in the British Isles. British ex ports of cotton last year Incroaael by 50 per cent. In the case of yarnsi and 28 per cent, in the case of piec« goods. The British production of art! flclal silk grew from 37,000,000 poiindi In the first nine months of 1931 to 51, 000,000 pounds in the same period b 1932, although In other countries suck as tho United States, Italy, Gcrmanj and Holland a heavy reduction was re ported. Thanks especially to Canadian pur chases, Britain's exports o* anthracit* Increased last year by 15 per cent. Ii spite ot the bad times the number 01 motor cars exported from the Unite< Kingdom was 60 per cent, greatei in 1932 than in 1931. Other trades which are showing similar progress are hosiery, heavy chemicals and til plates. Tho tariff has brought a num ber of industrial undertakings to th» Old Country. These are progressini rapidly and increasing the number ol their einployee.«. The steel industrj is still hampered, but a new enterprise lor the production of domestic Bessa mer steel in Northamptonshire is b« ing financed by the Bankers' Industriai Development Company under the aus pices of the Bank of England. Thi Lancashire Steel industry is being ra tionalized and even the railways an looking up. The Southern Railway U electrifying some of its main lines. Sir William attributes these moder ate constructive developments in thi Mother Country to the fact that tlM British people never permit then* selves to be optimists. Their habit il to face the facts with the determine tion of struggling through to bettei times. The achievements thus t» corded in the face of adverse world conditions are. in large measure, trac» able to the sterling qualities of a racei which has never yot permitted itsell to be wholly beaten, and which ovei and over again in the pages of history has emerged triumphant over seem- ingly insuperable obstacles.

Dlvorcea France Seeking to End Peril of Level Crossingi Special attention has been paid ol late by officials a.t the Ministry oi Public Works to ways and means oi reducing the number of dangerotu love! cix)ssings in France. The res- ponsible Minister, M. Daladier, haj issued an interesting communique ot the subject, writes the Pari:; correa- pondent of The London Daily Tele- graph. He states that the number of motoi vehicles in France has increased from 100,000 in 1914 to 1,700,000 in 1932, It has therefore become a matter ol urgency to remove such obstruction! as level crossings from the national highwaj-8. In spite of all the cffwrtl made, only thirty wer^ removed dur- ing the period 1918-'31. Yet there are more than 40,000 oi these obstacles in France.
