assistance to sufferers from tho federal government has met with ready response at the hands of the dominion government as well as of the ontario government people everywhere churches red cross societies and other organizations have been prompt and generous in their efforts at affording relief and much has been accomplished in relieving suffering add providing comjorts resembled wartime activities a visit to the council chamber last friday after noon qr to the church school rooms on previous days revealed neencs of activity very similar to those of war time days the manner in which the ladies went to work in answer to tho recurring appeals from the workers in the north in behalf of tho fire sufferers was gratifying indeed when suffering humanitys needs are manifest the women of acton can always be depended upon to do their part will ingly and generously and numbers of tho sterner kox gladly add their quota in time or means to further the worthy ends which are desired to be accomplished canada growing in helffieuance the past week has seen an important develop ment in regard to canadas negotiations with tho united states government for tho extension and bringing up to date of the rush bagot treaty cover v ing the naval strength which the two countries are to maintain on the great lakes this development was the announcement by tho british government that in these negotiations canada would bo invited to act directly with the united states without the formality of going through the british embassy ctpadya wheat crop this year is 88000000 bushels greater than that of 1921 statistics showing the volume or canadas wheat crop of 1022 continue to reveal encouraging results an average of 1725 bushels per acre against 13 bushels per acre last year gives an increase of 20 per cent in volume over 1d21 this brings tho crop of this year to within five million bushels of the record crop of 1015 in all this there is great reason for thankfulness reports from thp business centres showed marked improvement in trade from all parts of the country v a worthy new weekly established few indeed are the new newspaper enterprises which have been initiated the past four or five years with admirable temerity however messrs j p jaffray son of gait have launched the gait times a weekly journal devoted to the ciy of gait and district the times is a rather pretentious news paper of twelve pages of the seven column form several elements unite to presage- a successful career for tho new paper tho publishers are experienced newspaper men with a lifelong knowledge of their community the paper is published in one of tho most iweceuful of the smaller cities of canada tho ad vertising patronage bestowed is liberal and represents the bulk of gait business people and the editor is a representative citizen and has always enjoyed the confidence of tho community prohibition in great britain ucv j alfred sharp dclcgata from the wesley an methodist church of great britain while addressing the methodist general conference in toronto do clarcd that prohibition in i ngland is not far distant if it comes in the british laics it will be because the industrial community has discovered that the petf ccntage of efficiency of men who use intoxicating liquor is lower than the efficiency of abstainers if britain is going to compete with tho united states fclio will of necessity ultimately have to adopt pro inhition alhston herald canada b heat customer of united states the position canada is taking at the head of the list of all countries doing business with tho united mates must be gratifying to all canadians trade statistics for tho past month show that the united states sold more goods to canada than to any other country and also bought more goods from the iomimon during tho month canada ordinarily second only to great britain in tho volume of trade with that country however both exports and im ports were a million dollars above those of the old country this country is surely justifying her cleva tion to the status of nationhood the united stales fat satisfied that the people of the united states of america are satisfied with their prohibitory law is the out standing fact brought out by tho poll conducted by the literary digest over twelve million ballots were circulated two million or so of these being sent to women tho others to men the figures tabulated nt the close or the poll show that 022688 ballots had been returned but beyond this an analysis of the ballots cast shows a surprisingly small number who desire prohibition repealed only 189356 of the total number of ballots returned or 20 per cent wanted the repeal of tho prohibition amendment and this this minority is only 015 per cent of the total num ber of ballots sent out canadas railway problem rein solved with the naming of the new bqjird of manage ment of tho canadian national railways and the creation of the canadian northern and grand trunk systems into the canadian national the government bas solved one of its big problems apparently in a way which has given satisfaction to the majority of canadians if one may judge by tho congratulatory messages and by tho comment heard on all sides it s being stated that the government has appointed i good board and has secured one of tho biggest available railroad men to head it the promise of giving the national railway system a chance of making good under proper business management has hcetf carried out and the co tin try is well pleased with the governments action editorial notes canada occupies a proud place in the financial world today our money is worth more than that of any other country in the world not excepting tho united states why uw6 fall to be fully effective our laws break down because weak spineless citizens will not uphold them this is true in regard 1 p jtho ontario temperance act and other laws on our statute books a persistent effort is being made by its opponents to unrig the ontario temperance act into disrepute and these same citizens would be highly offended if theysvere plainly told that they 4 at the same kind of work for the upheaval of social and economic conditions as lenine trdlgky and krassin of russia if tho law breaks down in one respect it will break down in another last year tho province of ontario paid 75000 for the salaries

at european ports bo relaxed these suggestions are being taken under consideration by tho minister and the transportation people will be ca1d back into conference forctheir answer later canada wants desirable emigrants who wilt settle become loyal canadians it 13 sincerely hoped howover that tho government will not be persuaded by the transportation companies to admit undesir ables merely for tho sake of affording revenues to jsnvhe railway and steamship companies thorfe has jjof thccn too much of that in the past for canadas good the post offices of canada have been instructed not to accept
