learning exchange v campv e many oldtime liberals were rather non- josstjd when d p mackenzie the temporary leader fthfc opposition in tho commons intimated on tho or of the house a few days ago that while not a gh protectionist he gave cretiit to protection for ng some good things for canada the statement the surface looks more straightforward than uitic while there may not be many liberals w eolute free traders as dr michael clark the bulk uiifldiv rank and file believe in that doctrine it may sold tiat by his declaration at this time the new leader ho 7 artfully hope to induce a stiffening of the back owr the protectionist in the union government a ba less reduction in tbo taxi ffjuj the forth- provming budget and therefore a better chance fr tthc liberal convention in august to make a strong ao appeal to tho people t mar i cvri speaking before the trade convention in st louis recently a w douglas statistician of tho chamber cuof commerce of the united states said high prices dent 5 without the slightest reason under the sun bein try has beea a decline in some commodities and seen ntr supply and demand were given freedom apixsarjpcration the decline would continue until a nor- ota level was reached he says that there will be momorc wheat for export than our ship3 can carry that wnififi ash fowl meats and fruits are in cold storage quljn quantities greater than ever before that the sur- plu3 grain crops this year will mean a large increase th in live stock and that all in all there is every reason jjhy prices should go down except for the greed of in k the artiflcally in dated tho country vhlt congress to deal with domestic tct such legislation as will give relief pg powers that are piling up ons unjustly nwbe feeling is growing that the matter of medical nflstwv of thc p the public schools in open a lajtfler towns and rural districts is just a3 im- tho dutf lhc citlcs th minister of education ouppoiinfjcntly of this opinion and has appointed dr mnt ttjmckcnnzie smith of gravenhurst dr e j bf snrs of nassagawcya miss etliel campbell of ottawa and miss e j jamicson of toronto as doc- i tors and nurses to handle the medical survey of children in ontarios schools as provided for by accent legislation because most of tho cities and c towns have their own medical and dental in- spections thc work of tho appointees will be chiefly i in small towns and rural districts tbo inspection to be mado will no doubt result in necessary treat ment for adenoids enlarged tonsils better care and earlier treatment of the teeth and other chiklrens ailments which arc often neglected because there has been n in and the parents ore unaware urtstttttsc troubles exist 7 arabia has never been regarded as a country hav ing much concern respecting tho morals of the people yet hussam tho new ruler of that lond who was placed in power through the revolt against thc sul tan has prohibited all alcoholic liquors throughout his domain by order of the government the outhori ties of djeddah seized and destroyed thousands of bottles of alcoholic liquors he also requested thc representatives of tho various european govern ments to notify the merchants of their respective countries that from thodatc of the order the arabian government would not permit any intoxicants to enter its borders thrift stamps effcctwely and profitably teach the desirable virtue of saving all persons who buy war savings or thrift stamps should set a 50 dominion government bond as their first objective this may now be bad for 40 and a few cents re deemable on january 1 1924 at 50 such an objec tive makes saving worth while for one thing it will be a strong incentive to continued saving then it is very profitable tho return being 4j4 per cent compounded halfyearly which is practically 5 per cent- the purchase of a 50 bond will also be 61 material assistance to tho govofiment in meeting its heavy aftcrthewar responsibilities the dominion dairy commissioner stated before the committee on agriculture at ottawa one day lost week that the excessively high price of butter has never been justified the prices had been put up he said by scare headlines in the newspapers which cause many people to buy in largo quantities deal ing with tbo general question of the effect of cold storage on thc cost to the consumer he further stated that generally speaking the result is to equal ize prices which are increased during the period of flush production but kept down during the periods of nonproduction more production will have thc surest effect of reducing butter prices a townplanning institute for canada has been formed and one of its immediate objects is to pro mote educational courses in tbwnplanningand rural development in thc universities thomas adams bousing and townplanning adviser for canada is choirman and about 100 architects engineers and surveyors bavo been nominated for membership representatives will attend the conference of the townpianning institute of america at niagara falls next week it3 a pity this townplonnjng educational campaign was not organized half a century ago its better now than never but townplanning in the older sections of canada at this date will be expensive tho great strike in winnipeg is a most serious issue there is no doubt a strong influence has grown up in canada from the indiscriminate admis sion to our shores of that class of agitators which thrive in some sections of europe we are now pay ing the price of this tho sympathetic strike may be justified on some occasions but on others it is nothing but war on the community sometimes it may be as dangerous to british liberty to allow a group of men the powerto incite general strikes as it is to have a mob rising and a ta3to of regular bolshevism canadas political leaders have gravely erred in the past in allowing irresponsible agitators to inflamo men who would naturally keep aloof from tbis spirit canadas status as a signatory to the peace treaty is that of an equal nation but within tho british empire said sir robert borden in london on saturday discussing tho dominions position at paris tho premier mado it clear that canada had stood firm on the status of a selfgoverning nation which it has proved itself to be during the war and that status has been acknowledged during thc fram ing of peace and the establishment of the league of nations he regarded the empire itself as a league of nations as regards tho german indemnity can ada would share in proportion to its expenditures on pensions and such other heads as came under the treaty provisions tho dominions shipping losses would also be replaced proportionately milton and burlington are taking advanced posi tions in the matter of providing educational oppor tunities for tho young people of their respective com munities bylaws were passed at thc last meeting of the county council providing for the establish ment of high schools in these towns- acton will therefore be tho only town in halton county that has not u high school wrnle our excellent continuation school has done exceptionally satisfactory work and has generally g n inr p 0 fttu donts than thc high schools of the county in thc departments up to which thc curriculum extends it has been felt for some time that thc whole high school course should bo undertaken here this would require a larger teaching staff and an extension iof the laboratory work on the other hind it would j proyide not only that none of our students would necessarily require to go out of town for any part of their high school course it would attract outside students who would prefer to come to acton than go to schools farther from home and it would com mand higher government and county grants and larger school fees thc matter is worthy of careful and immediate consideration by our board of educa tion acton has always taken a high position in educational matters we must

writers who complain that france has lost in tho orient a vast and important field in which she bas always played a leading part there appears to be a general assumption in french diplomatic circles
