although large numbers from foreign lands have been attracted to canada during the lifetime of present citizens the recent dominion census discloses the fact that 7776 per cent of the population of canada was born in the dominion those born in british countries outside of canada account for 1141 per cent and foreignborn represenf1083 per cent the census gave canada a total population of 1037686 in 1931 ascompared with 8787949 in 1921 an increase in 10 years of 1588837 or 18q7 per cent during the previous ten years the increase had been almost the same in number but the percentage was 2195 according to the census of 1931 the percent age of persons born in the united states and now living in canada was 332 which equals abuul on settling down usiness summary published b the bank of montreal there is a note of optimism that has been missing from past issues for some time the chief factor for this greater buoyancy is of course the imperial conference which has just ended so successfully other factors which make the future seem brighterare the outlpok for good crops in the prairie provinces while prices are low the cost of- production of this years crops wiir also be low canada has shared too in the stimula tion resulting from the success of the lausanne conference and from the announcement of the british conversion loan in the process of liquidation canada already has proceeded far capital struc tures have been reorganized inventories written down losses absorbed and stocks both wholesale and retail reduced practically to a handtomouth supply thus putting business in position for a sharp recovery when the turn comes meanwhile no change of moment in the general business situation can be recorded shipping has a fair degree of activity exports of grain from montreal have been large latterly and are now about 2000000 bushels in excess of last season while shipments of live stock to great britain are continuously larger than for several years past the fall in the pound sterling and the rise in the american dollar are stimulating imports of coal from great britain these having increased to 413069 tons to june 30 a gain of 58035 tons over last year

imperial conference what canada gets as a result of the imperial conference should not be overemphasized we ought to be just as proud of what we give hon g howard ferguson is back to onta again one begins to wonder whether his appoint ment was hgh commissioner to london or chief patroller of the atlantic one newspaper heading we noticed read triumph for bennett canada and the empire that me first glorification doesnt sound nearly as large as if the neading had read triumph for the empire canada and bennett chap must also liveand the empire conference has made a fine gesture to the rest of the world to open the avenues of trade it matters little whether it was in 1894 or in 1930 or any other year that the principle of empire trade was inaugurated its adoption- in 1932 seems to point the way to increased trade activities and great er confidence in the future just when that confid ence is most heeded the feeling of distrust and selfishness is giving way to one of confidence and recognition of the rights of others true we may not see immediate financial returns from the delibera tions that have just closed but a general bringing of prices to a level on which- they provide a legitimate return for the producer and the realization of the stability of the prices will bring about a confidence that will soon bring its measure of fair financial returns the conference is ended the foundation is laid for the upbuilding of trade it is the duty not only of nations bift of individuals to raise the structure that willmaintain confidence preference is not a thing to hide behind it demands a standard to strive for and maintain it demands fair and trust worthy treatment in all undertakings between in dividuals or nations only on such principles can real progress be made two

simcpe bll the way through each lane broke- through a culvert at the road gate went gaily on churning up more and more mud and making deeper and deeper ruts so that i was obliged to leave the cor at our neighbors f 6r the simple reason that i couldnt get it home in the night there was more rain but thanks be to the telephone and the rural merchants i was able to get provisions in time and with the help of a neighbor our thresh ing dinner was cooked- eaten and pre sumably digested in spite of the fact that i was badly hindered by my festered finger which provided me with all kinds of torture as soon as it was possible to navigate the ruts with the optimist i took my finger into the doctor and he did things to it which are better not described tojday there are definite signs of improvement the pain has gone from my arm and so now with the threshing done and everything we feel there is once more corn in egypt and that we are free to snatch an odd half- hour when iwe can to read mark learn and inwardly digest press reports of the winding up of the imperial conference i wonder dare we hope for some definite improvement no sane person would think of expecting immediate beneficial results but if onty we can see some indication of which way the wind is blowing and by that indication get new courage to carry on until such time as we are able to derive some personal benefit from the improved conditlonst even that would be something the globe says it is all over except the return to prosperity but prosperity is behind locked doors and we stul have to find the open sesame to reach it the only thing we can do at present is to adopt the policy mr asqulth advocated years agc walt and see it is really excellent advic the trouble is too many of us want to see without waiting
