CANADA THE EMPIRE THE WORLD AT LARGE Ethiopia'* Warriors CANADA THKUE AKE GOOD UKIVKKS, TOO! The Toronto Telegram, which car- ries on a persistent and well-directed campaign against careless : nd reck- less motorists, pays a tribute not un- deserved to another class of driver in these words: "But there is a motorist of another type which falls into none of these categoriesâ€" one who is deserving of at least passing mention. It is the motorist who keeps his eyes on the road, is alert for any emrrffcncy, who •djUsts his speed to the circum- stances, who is not always in such a con foil :i: ltd hurry that he has to try to bent the amber light, who gives the other fe'luw his due share of the road, who doesn't d .vdle in the middle of the highway, who doesn't stop across the pedestrian's path at an intersect- ion, and who K\nerally behaves him- self as if he was a reasonable human being." All of this is true. Great numbers of moturists drive with caution and discretion. They never have to ex- plain things to the magisthntc. M ire often than not they carry insurance, but their claims under it are in- frequent. Many have driven for years without an accident of any sort, simply by taking reasonable precau- tions, by using common sense. Hi.s accident record, or the lack of it, after all is the best test of a driver's skill. One man <irives tens of thousands of mil^s and hasn't even a dented fender. The same amount of driving will find a-iothor car battered 'and dented, scratched and scraped, and it isnl credible that "the other fellow," is alw;ys to blame. The good dri'v,- watches out for bad drivers, goes on the assumption that nobody else knows or follows the rules of the road, and in that spirit usually he finds safety. â€" Ottawa Journal. the wolf the trout.

Radio broadcasters seemed to outive each other to the point of hysteria in adding to the gruesonie- ness of the Italian bombing raid.

DEFENDER OF THE IMI'ES It is not often that the bag-pipes are under fire in a city which bears many impressions of the great pio- neering race, whose history, achieve- ments and aspirations are expressed in the tones of this instrument. In the last few days, however, a number of correspondents have complained in this newspaper that their serenity has been disturbed by the strain.^ of the pibroch which they have likened to the siiuealings of toturcd pigs. With this the Times does not agree. There is music in the bag-pipes, more, indeed, than there is in many com- positions for other instruments, which arc described as highly classical, but which are about as melodious to the car as high-grade futurist art is to the eye. We would rather hear some lusty young Scot practising on the bag-pipes than some tyro producing howls and wails of agony practising on a saxophone or a trombone. We have heard some critics of the bag-pipes who play no musical in- struments at all make day and night hideous by instruments of torture of the first magnitude, namely, the horns of their motor cars. Raucously hoarse devoid of the slightest melo<liou3 note, they are by all odds the most objectionable of noise agencies to be found anywhere, and if they can be drowned out by the good bag-pipe player all power to the piper. â€" Viclcrv Times. THE EMPIRE CANADA LEADS Which are the nations who are climbing most rapidly out of the de- pression? They are the British nations. Canada's trade leaped up 22 per cent last month. Inspiring news comes also from little New Zealand, where Mr. Coates, the Finance Min- ister, boldly states that the Domin- ion's economic prolilems are "largely solvcil." Cuts are being restored, emergency taxes reduced, pensions in- creased. On top of that Mr. Coates gives a new break to his countrymen. Population of New Zealand, 1,018,000; public works expenditure announced, t'S.Ci.'iO.OOO.

The time is now within meas- urable distance when travel will al- most exclusively be by air. It is, thertv'ore, not surprising that the for- mer British Secretary of Stale fur .\ir (the Marquess of Londonderry) should have declared in n recent speech that "our transport system fulfil.s a vital Imperial need." Upon the substantial framework of Imperial Airways' world-vviilo comniiinications other and more elaborate plans are lioing devised. Lord Sempill plans to link the British Empire with a ser- vice of giant fljing boats; Imperial Airways is considei ing a commercial service by (lying boat between Great Britain and Canada; and existing ser- vices are being speeded up and dup- licaterl. Prestige in the air is of para- mount importance today. The race for supremacy goes hand in hand with technical invention and the expansion of services. It is the duty of the Dominions to co-operate closely with (ireat Britain. The European mind knows the value of aerial communi- cations. It is taken for granted abroad that (iovernmcnts must be willing to subsidise civil aviation; for no first- class Power can nflford to lag behind in air development. People in the Dominions have fewer opportunities of noting the intensity of this develop- ment or its endless possibilities. â€" The Australasian.

Forget War And The Elections And Talk Of Chicken Suppers After reading the war news of the day and having tried to get the political battles fairly recorded it is well to come upon something which has within it a degree of goodness. That is why we pay heed at the mo- ment to the increasing number of announcements of churches which are preparing to hold the annual chicken supper. There have been some such things printed in this paper; in the weekly newspapers from the dis- trict there appear to be even more. Just a casual in.^pection resulted in finding eleven of these events heralded. .'\nd they were all printed in a friendly sort of way. The sup- per would take place fir.st and after that a splendid entertainment had been arranged. The prices seem to run arounil .30 and -lO cents. We Kiijipose there must be a cer- tain number of (hickens marked for destruction right now in a good many farm yards. We don't sup- pose they would expect a man to hand over the pullets from his flock, at least it was never done that way on the tenth concession even if it was for the support of the church. There was a feeling that a more seasoned and experienced bird could support the church perhaps better than some young thing that was getting to be fairly handy and regular at laying eggs when the prices were good. Perhaps that is a happy ending for a chicken's life. During other years she was faithful and then on toward the end she did what she could to support the work of the church. Yes, her children would be proud enough to make reference to such a career. The wonder is how the ladies make those chicken suppers pay. Most people who go to them eat a great deal. They seem to have a certain acrobatic exuberance when they set to on the first Ivlping; they anticipate that if they get through and look hungry some person will suggest they have some more. Never did we know a per- son to decline such a suggestion at a fowl supper in a church. There seems to be some sort of tonic in the air and it whets the appetite until its consuming po^sibilites are great like the national debt. But we're glad the season is on us for chicken suppers. We rejoice. So many things seem to have been sliding and becoming uncertain that it is well to note the continued existence of something which an- chors deep in the memories of days when there was peace in the world and h()nor among men. The annual chicken supper. Ah! Yes, thank you, we'll have another leg and a piece off the che.st. We'll just put tiose bones on the edge of the plate. â€" Stratford Beacon-Herald.

Washington.â€" United States im- ports from Canada increased nearly five times as fast as this country's sales to the Dominion in the first six months of 1933, but still were $28,000,000 short of parity, it is re- vealed in an analysis of U.S. for. eign trade increased recently by the foreign trade division of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Canadian sales to the United States gained 28 per cent, over the first six months of last year, reach- ing a total of .$130,105,000, the big- gest figure since 1931, the analysis showed- They were larger than im- ports from any other nation, being twice as large as the United King- dom total of $69,204,000, which it- self represented a 21 per cent, gain over 1934. But, while U.S. sales to Canada rose only 5.8 per cent., tending to close the wide spread of a year ago, they still stood more than 15 per cent, above Dominion sales here. Their total was $158,529,000, repre- senting, according to the analysis, "a healthy gain." TOTAL TRADE Total U.S.. Canadian trade in the first six months of the year was set at $288,634,000, taken to indicate the value of the full year's exchange will run more than $500,000,000. While the analysis showed Canada as leading all nations in sales to this country, it revealed a close race between Canada and the United Kingdom for the position of this country's exports being 15.6 per cent, and 15-5 per cent. The United Kingdom figure, how- ever, represented a decline of 7 per cent, in purchases from the United States. This was in marked contrast to greatly increased sales of this country's goods to all other mem- bers of the British Empire: 41 per cent, to Australia; 23 per cent, to South Africa; 20 per cent, to India; 25 per cent, to New Zealand; 38 per cent- to Hong Kong; 49 per cent, to British West .\frica and 27 per cent, to British Malaya. Simliarly, U.S. imports from all leading countries of the Empire ex- cept Ceylon were larger than in 1934. The analysis notes that "the Empire includes our three leading suppliers, Canada, the United ICing- dom and British Malaya." Regard- ing U.S. imports generally, it re- marks- that "an increase of 48 per cent was recorded for North Amer. ica, due largely to heavy imports from Canada and Cuba." MARKED GAIN A marked gain was recorded in imports from British Malaya which totalled $68,799,000, or 29 per cent, above the 1934 figure. Only a neg- ligible gain, 0.04, was shown in pur- chases from India. Imports from the Gold Coast, Nigeria and other British West .\frica colonies advanc- ed 59 per cent.; from Australia 58 per cent-; from New Zealand 100 per cent.; from Hong Kong 48 per cent, and from South Africa 10 per cent. On United Sta'.es foreign trade in general, the analysis revealed sub- stantial increases in exports to North and South America and to Oceania, but brought out declines in trade with European countries, which at one time took four-fifths of all United States exports and now take only two-fifths, and a heavy loss in trade with China which amounted to 40 per cent, of last year's total. The Chamber of Commerce ana. lysis fails to break dov.n totals of United States trade, either exports or imports, with various countries, but it empha.-ii-.'.es largely increased United States imports of eommodi- , ties which Canada produces.
