EDITORIAL COMMENT FROM HERE, EVERYWHERE. THERE CANADA Behind the Times In the county of Waterloo is a religious religious sect whose members still Cling to the quaint old beliefs that a man's word is as good as his contract, that one should not borrow more than he intends to repay, and- that the sim, $>le things of life are the best. Queer, these people are so far behind behind the times. They know not the joy of instalment purchases, double dealing, onerous debt. Their beliefs set them entirely apart. Yet they live in peace and contentment, contentment, in fellowship and friendship With their neighbors, unworried by tomorrow's tomorrow's reckoning. And the hurrying, hurrying, biased world might find the utopia utopia it seeks • in the life of these fortunate,: fortunate,: carefree farmers. -- Quelph JVIercury.

THE EMPIRE Immigration and' Peace As one way to peace, Sir Edward Beatty, chairman of the Canadian Pacific Railway, recommends thé adoption of "saner economic policies and the resumption of immigration." His prescription is a wise one, for there can he no doubt that international international friction has been increased by the rising of national barriers against trade and the closing of national frontiers frontiers against immigration. Many of these restrictions on the free movement movement of goods and persons are reactions reactions from the last war. It fomented the passions of narrow nationalism and. these are bearing shrivelled and barren fruit in many lands today. Thus the War has poisoned the peace; the Armistice ended the military war, but the economic war was intensified, producing the conditions leading on, to further military hostilities. -- Auckland Auckland News.

SLUM CLEARANCE: On the sixth of December all Toronto property owners will have a chance to vote on a $2,000,000 debenture issue to be used in the demolition of the city's slums and in the construction of low-cost housing for lower-bracket wage groups.
