Ottawa, Ont.--Up to the end of July the provinces of Canada had initiated roadway improvements which qualified them for $7,666,604, or less than half of the $20,000,000 set aside by the Federal Government for roads. New Brunswick has availed itself of thei grant more extensively than any of, the other provinces. Of $1,163,845 j available, it stands to get $1,102,776. Ottawa, Ont.--A total of 3,165 dairy factories had a total production value of $144,483,188 in 1920, as compared with $135,196,602 in 1919, an increase of $9,286,586, according to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Capital invested in dairy factories in 1920 amounted to $32,767,317; the number of employees was 11,211, and the amount paid in salaries and wages was $8,776,-676. For 1919 the corresponding figures were: capital $28,388,026; employees, 10,716, and salaries and wages, $7,629,997.

It accepts the principle of government by the consent cf the governed, on which de Valera insisted with one reservation: that there must be no separation from the British Empire, id invites the Irish to Septembei to offer every seeker after high ucation no matter what his circumstances.

But there was one item of information, given in strikingly graphic fashion, be worked out. Any admission of the right of secession, the British Cabinet says, would be a denial of the principle on which all democratic Governments of the world are based to-day, and would mean a return to tribalism.

"You must -be aware that a conference on such a basis is impossible. So applied, the principle of government by consent of the governed would undermine the fabric of every democratic State and drive the civilized world back into tribalism. "On the other hand, we have invited you to discuss our proposals on their merits, in order that you may have no doubt as to the scope and sincerity of our intentions. "It would be open to you in such a conference to raise the subject of guarantees on any points in which you may consider Irish freedom prejudiced by these proposals. His Majesty's Government are loath to believe that; you will insist upon rejection of their proposals without examining them in a conference. "To decline to discuss a settlement which would bestow upon the Irish people the fullest freedom for national development within the Empire can only mean that you repudiate all allegiance to the Crown and all membership in the British Commonwealth. "If we are to draw this inference from your letter, further discussions between us could serve no useful purpose and all conferences would be in vain. If, however, we are mistaken in this inference, as we still hope, and if your real objection to our proposals that they offer Ireland less than the 'e have described, that objee-be explored at a conference. "You will agree that this correspon-j dence has lasted long enough. Hiaj Majesty's Government must therefore ask for a definite reply as to whether you are prepared to enter a confer^ ence to ascertain how the association! of Ireland with the community of na-ij tions known as the British Empdrej can best be reconciled with Irish naJ tional aspirations. "If, as I hope, your answer is in' the affirmative, I suggest that the con-.' ference should meet at Inverness oni the 20th instant."

French Thumb Prints Must be Registered A despatch from Paris says:--The entire French nation, as well as all foreigners residing in France, will be recatalogued and compelled to register their thumb-prints, according to the latest regulation of Police Chief Ueuillier, Identification of crime suspects and the detection of criminals is expected to be made easier under the new sys- trenchant criticism in the first day debate in the Assembly of the League of Nations, on the work done by the Council of the League. Hjalmcr Branting, of Sweden, cused the Council and the secretariat of the League of partiality and extravagance. Lord Robert Cecil, representing South *Jl*~*> defended both the Council and the Secretariat. Lord Robert was very severe, howev about the countries which, according to statistics, -are spending about 20 per cent, of their energies on armaments and at the same time complaining of instability and a bad trade situation. Lord Robert's address seemingly made a great impression on the members of the Assembly. That a president of the United States cannot alone, under the constitution, bind his Government on a question of mandates is brought out briefly in one of the paragraphs of the last United States note on mandates, copies of which are circulating among the delegates of the Assembly of the League of Nations here. The note is dated August 8, and is addressed to the French Government. The note makes various suggestions of changes in the terms of the Turkish man-dates, some of them being that consular tribunals, under capitulations from the powers, shall remain in force until the Governments are organized under mandates, and that if the mandates are surrendered, the consular tribunals shall be restored. Request is made in the note that Toronto. Manitoba wheat--No. 1 Northern, $1.56%; No. 2 Northern, $1.47; No. 3 $1.43; No. 4 wheat, $1.32.
