current issue of the business mmimnry of ths lliink of montreal gives cunadinn conditions at this time as follows unsettlement of international cur rencies has been the outstanding event of the past live weeks sterling exchange dipping below 150 in new york and thrtfohnndinn dollar to ki cents some recovery has since occurred but values are uncertain and until stabilized a new element of huurd enters into foreign trade franco has received large ship ments of gold from new york the hank of france increasing its store to upwards of 2500000000 money has risen in price generally many european countries having increased rate for loans to safe guard gold reserves after the manner of the hank of england and in new york rates have also risen in canada the government has prohibited the export of gold except under license iiow and when the exchange situation will be stabilized is not apparent righting adverse trade balances will help and this through necesity a being brought about in more than one country linemploymeiit at home and abroad and heavy deficits in national budgets involve costly relief measures and increased taxation us well us mounting debt measures of relief are more com prehensive in canada than a year ago and entail larger public expenditure in trade there is indica tion of a halt in commodity price decline for a con siderable period prices have remained fairly steady and while there is still an oversupply of world stores of cotton wheat sugar copper rubber and lumber prices would seem to inve touched bottom edltohhal notes one result of the exchange rotes finding it we enn do a lot of things we formerly considered unattainable is that we are in canada that another draft of 4000 men have been taken to the northern construction camps wonder how many of

announces the gather ing of the weekly newspaper editors in oakville as brainy men of wentworth peel and hulton small wonder tho migration to cityward the county council is to be commended for its action in tho interview with the minister of high ways regarding the construction of the third highway across the southern part of tho county in the ar rangement to lower the countys share the depart ment admits that twenty per cent of 800000 is a heavy item for an electorate to pay that is not bene fitted in any way we have maintained from the but- set and we are still of the opinion that hulton should not he called upon for one dollar for expenditure on this third southern highway 1 the province can assunutrouly eighty per cent of the cost the other twenty per cent should be absorbed by toronto and hamilton who are the greatest benefnetors of this link between these two cities if the counties can bo saddled with highway construction costs without their consent why in all fairness can the cities not have the burden placed on their shoulders where it rightly belongs halt6n is struggling u titter a de benture debt that it will take years to overcome if there is any highway in the county that will benefit haltoninns it is the completion of tho link from acton to milton yet the county council is told it must provide a percentage prohnbly ten per cent and twenty per cent if it hadnt been objected to of 800000 for a highway it doesnt need or want and forego the construction of one tlmt is badly needed it is again a case of the cities win at the expense of the rural sections small wonder that the boy on the farm is lured cityward rather than remain tn the farm or in the smaller community ns the highway construction programme is but typical of city and rural discrimination
