/ CANADA THE EMPIRE THE WORLD AT LARGE CANADA THEY HAVE THE BIG IDEA There was an Itom In Iha newi- papars recently and by actual meaa. ura It roci'ived one Inch of apac*. But It told a good deal. It came from Aaule , Sask.. and said that farmeri of that district were shipping truck- loads of carrots to less fortunate farniera In flio north. In drled-out years â€" and .Amulet had Its share of tiiem â€" faini'ira there received sup- pliea of vegptablos from other sec- tions. Now Ihey find themselTet In a position to help nnd they know where others are who need help, so they are keeping li!io thing going. It Is wi>ll that those farmers lu Sas. katchuwan .shipprd vogftables ^o those in need; It is well that somp person who liranl about It had the good sense to s'jo t'.iat it got in the now.spapers.

FLYING DOCTORS In Canada wn have no olliclal "fly- In:; doctor'' service such as Australia po.-iRi'sses. but invaluable aid has been rendered for some considerable time pa ; by the Canadian Airways Ser- vice. The ambulance notes of the company contain scores of records of mp'it.s, varying in length from ten to several hundred miles, all of which were marie in response to ur- gent appeals for transportation and which in most cases definitely meant the saving of life. In Canada air transport has com- pletely transforni'^d the service of government medical office?, as may be seen from a record of a recent tour of camps In western Ontario, when in less than four Jiours a doc. tor u.sing a plane was able to ylslt four different camps, carrying out complete inspections and travelling 102 mlies. In less than four hours. Aeroplane service has also made medical ervice possible over terri- tories which In bygone years were covered only by dog loams making one trip per sea.son. This Is now re. placed by many trips per season In comfort over a vastly larger area at considerably less cost, and without the gravo risks that Inevitably at- tended tho dog team tours. â€" Star, Montr'vil.

YES, WK HAVE CANADIAN BOOKS It Is the habit of some of our Can. adlan intelligentsia, when they fore, gather about cocktails or coffee, to speak wltfa soonethlng like °hame of the shocking state of Canadian lit- erature It ranks, they would have us believe with the literary production of the Laplanders; it has neltheir tradition nor background, little past, no present to speak of, at best a mighty uncertain future. Nobody is writing stuff that will live â€" outside, naturally, the ranks of those then present â€" and the outlook is black. Perhapj all this Is trueâ€" we should not like to get Into an argument about it with this same Intelligentsia â€" but certainly we are turning out books, even if they are not literature. The Toronto Public Library sends us a booklet of sixty. four pages listing "Houks published In Canada, about Canada, as well as those written by Canadians, with imprint of 1931." In these pages there are listed, we -hould Judge, more than 1.100 books. Forty pages deal with publications in English, twenty. four pages list tlie French works. They cover a vast range of subjects â€" philosophy, so- ciology, commerce, the sciences and the arts, biography, history, travel, poetry. Action and so on â€" and any- ono determined to persue all of Lhem would find himself committed to tihree a day over the year. This Is, we submit, a lot of writ- ing, and we should bo surprised If these eleven hundred books do not contain a fair amount of what is called literature. It is hardly prob- able that so many men and women should aim at the mark and without exception miss It. -- Ottawa Journal. THE EMPIRE STILL ON THE UPGRADE Slowly, but surely. Ilrltain Is re- ducing her number of unemployed. Olliclal figures issued recently show that at August 26 there were 43.000 more insured persons at work than a month provlously â€" 244,000 more than a year ago. Thus tho upward trend notice- able since tiie beginning of the year Is maintained. Since January tho total number of registered unemployed has dropped by oveir 377,000. The numbers of unemployed on tho registers on August 26 were 1.- 533.2.')9 wholly -uiieniployed. 334.419 teniiiorarlly stopped and 80.236 nor- mally in casual employment making a total of 1.947.964. This was 24.977 less than the num- ber on the registers on July 22. and l.SS.fiH less than a year before. T«ho reduction during the month in tho mimbers of unemployed occur- red chiefly In the North-Kastorn and Midlaiul divisions, where the Im- priivi'ment In coal mining was mainly felt.

Royal Betrothal Thrills Scotland Attractive Brown-Haired Fiancee of Duke of Gloucester Has Strongly Marked Black Eyebrows Said to Denote Royal Stuart Stock. â€" Of Artistic Tastes and Abilities. THE SLAVERY IN ETHIOPIA The betrothal of Lady Alice Scott, daughtrr of the P'lke and Duchess of Buccleuch, to the Duke of Gloucester has given particular satisfaction to the vvhole of Scotland, writes a cor- respondent of the Glasgow Herald, but nowhere was the news received with keener pleasure than in the Borders, where the future bride and her family are so well known and esteetned. The bride-to-be spends most of her time in the South of Scotland, and indeed is not widely known out- side the Borders, where she hunts, sketches, and goes to all the local functions. One thing we are certain of ia that Lady Alice will have her sister. Lady Angela, in her wedding retinue. They have a great look of each other, with their clear fair com- plexions, brown hair and unexpeot- ediy black eyebrows, strongly mark- ed â€" brows which arc said to denote the royal Stuart stock. Pretty Lady Burghley, tall Lady Sybil Phipps (always so graceful with her wil- lowy figure), and indeed all five sisters (like the Duchess of York's sisters) have a strong "family look," making it difficult to say which Lady Alice resembles most â€" a typical Scott is the verdict. "SCOTT GIRLS" Though she has artistic tastes and abilities with which some of tha other are not endowed, I.iady Alice is very much one of the family. She has always known the joy of having sisters nnd brothers to share her life, a joy which members of large families take for granted, sometimes grumbling against the little annoy- ances ami disappointments of living in a crowd, though in their hearts realising a crowd's mighty comfort- ing in good limes and luul. Being one of many also "rubs the corners otT." even if you are a Duke's daughter or a King's son; you grow up with a "comiTiunily spirit" very useful in every walk of life. The "Scott girls" are always in a bunch at i)oint-to-points, meets, nnd Border races, their numbers aug- mented by the tall and exquisitely l)eautiful Lady Delamere (daughter of Lord (ieorge Scott, her twin sisters (one a bride of last year), and other young people from their sporting group. Simple tweeds, hand- knit jerseys, a pull-on felt hat, and brogues are Lndy Alice's racing uniform. HKR HKOTIIIOK'S SUI'i'ORTtnt Hut nil her time ha.s not J)eeii spent rusticating. She has trnvoUed and she has enjoyed London at its best and g.iyest, though always re- taining n preference for Scotlisli (eslivities. Klectioiieering has also come into her scope on her brother's account. Lord Dalkeith, M.l'., who has the pink cheeks nnd the shyness of n schoolgirl in spite of his war record, is a eontemi)ornry of tho Prince of Wales. He was up nt Oxford, at "The House," when the I'rinco was at Magdalen. Judging by the num- ber of men mostly â€" fellow-mem- bers of Buck's Club who call him "Walter", he must be very poi>ular. Pomopous people are seldom referred to atfect innately, and one even for- gets that they own Cliristinn names. So Lord Dalkeith is not really slilV â€" just shy of limelight, which he leaves to his wife, who is a great beauty and was Mollie Ln.scelles, kinawoman of Lord Ilnrewood. Lord Dalkeith was in Greimdier (iunr<ls, like his uncle. Lord Fran- cis Scolt, who married one of Mary Lady Minlo's handsome daughter.i (another connection with Ihe royal family, as Lord Minto's mother is roguinrly in nttendanco on the Queen), and of all Lady Alice's rel- utives Frniu'ls Scott is most likely to capture Ihe adniiialiun of her soldier hiisliand-lo-l>e. For Lord Francis is a great war- rior to use a grand old word -â€" anil did his <liily nobly by the Brigade of Guards, returning to the trenches after wounds so severe that any- one else would have continued a most justifiable convalescence. Event- ually he was crippled, and after war was over settled in Kenya. The Duke of Gloucester loves Kenya for its sporting appeal, and Lady Alice loves it for its artisti* appeal, judging by the excellent landscapes she exhibited at Walker's Galleries in Bond street last July. So as a married couple they are quite certain to revisit the colony. ALREADY WELL ACQUAINTED \ The Duke of Gloucester has been such a regular visitor to the Duke of Buccleuch's home for so many years that he's already well acquainted, as we say in the North, with his future in.Iaws. and they in turn are already attached to him by the affection which comes with friendship, as well as by mutual interests such as hunt, ing, soldiering, and the simple life. Everyone knows the Duke to be a keen soldier, a goo<i horseman, an adequate dancer (who is not over, fond of sophisticated parties â€" pre- ferring a Hunt Ball to a night club), and a thoroughly good fellow in the pleasant sense of the phrase. Until lately it was not realized that he had the same diplomatic gifts as the Prince of Wales. He seemed just the typical British soldier with a taste for sports and a sense of duty, but the Jubilee Empire tour he completed this spring proved him a man of many parts. .Australians summering at home say that he was a genuine success not merely as the King's son but as himself â€" « sim- pie. observant, and easily entertained guest, who fulfilletl endless public engagements without sign of bore. But we must not inuigine Lady -â- Mice's fiance is an inhuman "wood, en soldier." Hasn't he a big circle of hearty men friends, including his hrother-in-law-to-be. Lord William Scott, and hasn't he finally shown the good sense to fall In love witli a Scots lass and plight his troth in the bonny Borders'.' If only they could be married in Scotland, what a great day for our country that would be! The Scotts are related to so many Scottish families that even were the wwiding fixed at Westminster there would be a tre- mendous gathering of the Clans. A SAD COINCIDENCE It is interesting to recall that tha Duke of tJloucesler was at Eton in the same house us the tragically bereaved King of the Belgians, while Prince Paul of Serbia, now Regent in Jugoslavia (where the Duke and Duchess of Kent have been staying with him at Bletl), was an Oxford contempv>rary of Lord Dalkeith. Another of tho Prince's generation is Lady Sybil Phipps's husband, an old Life tiuaril, while anotiteir Scott much in the public eye is Lord Her- bert Scott, who, as chairijian of Rolls-Royce, brings the family into contact with "big business." To trace the ramifications of the Montagu - Douglas - Scott family in Scothind alone is too lung a task to attempt here, but it's quite safe to ulHrm that one nnd nil will give liady Alice's husband a great wel- come nnd feel pride in their kin«. woman's good fortune aiul interest in the new life wliici, opens out to her as a "Uoyal Highness". They used to beat the swords into plow..sliares. But now thoy beat the plow-shares into niblicks. A checkered career often ends in a striped suit. The world contain.s un over sup- ply of average men. (Jenernlly the fellow who makes tlie most fuss about the way the elections goes did not vote. The fool thought re(|uires i;:st as much time as that which turns out to be a big idea. Love is the sweetest story ever told until somebody pulls the trap door from under you. Light is thrown on the question of slavery in Ethiopia by the latest Foreign Policy Association report on "Imperialist Rivalries In Ethiopia." Slavery exists In Ethiopia. A con- dition of serfdom not easily disting- uishable from slavery exists in Brltlsfa Kenya, which adjoins Ethioi>ia. And actual slavery continues to exist in Italian Libya, as Italy was only re- cently forced to admit before the League of Nations Advisory Com- mittee of experts. The slavery issue is always raised by the Power vyRich at the moment hopes to annex part of Ethiopia. The charge was first brought not by Italy, but by Great Britain. When France and Italy sponsored Ethiopia for membership in the League (the blacE Empire was admitt- ed in 1923), Great Britain objected on tile grounds that slavery still ex- isted in Ethiopia. At that time the British feared that the Covenant of the League might interfere with their plans for control of the Lake Tsana region. In 1924, in pursurance to pledges made on admission to the League, the Emporor of Ethiopia publiobed an edict providing the death penalty for slave trading and emancipating all children born of slaves. Slavery in Ethiopia will probably be eradicated in this generation. The reason for slavery is revealed in a passage of the Foreign Policy re- port: "One-half of SomalilanJ (under -Italian control) would repay exten- sive irrigation; but the natives, once freed from slavery, have been loath to work." Fishing, farming and hunting are still free. So it is not economically necessary for the natives to work for a few pennies a day for some great Italian corporation. Italy, if it con- quers Ethiopia, will remedy this. The farm land will be taken away from the peasants. Prohibitive taxes will be put on fishing and hunting. Slavery will no louger be necessary. Ethlop. ians will have to work or starve, and their masters will be relieved of the obligation to feed them when there is no work. Just as in civilized Italy.
