"There is to American eyes a new aspect imparted into the situation by Grey's expression of view 'that the making of reservations by the United States in accepting the League Cov- enant ought to be countenanced by the membership of the League as now constituted," the Telegraph says. "It is at least true that those who have acceptance without reservation of any kind have laid stress upon the argument that members of the League, and in particular, this coun- try{ would raise objections to the United States coming in upon a foot- ing 'of limited Mability. This was an assumption for which, so far as pub- lic opinion here is concerned, we are convinced that there was little ground, but it had its effect. ' "To regard Grey's statement of his own personal opinion as expressing the attitude of the British Govern- ment which appears to be the general view of it in America, is also an as- sumption, but we shall be very muck} surprised if even this does not satis- fy it. In a word, the position of the reservationists has been strengthened if they do not use it to revive the 1 programme of . reservation earlier START "BUY-IN-CANADA" CAMPAIGN IN LONDON Only Way to Bring Discount Rate Down Is to Buy at Home.

Unless we give all possible support to the 'Buy in Canada,' nothing can prevent the dis- count going still further." "It would not take long to bring the discount rate down if Canadians bought all of their goods In the Canadian market," said J, BE. Magee, manager of the Merchants Bank. Other business men voiced the same opindon and it is claimed that the movement has been given an im- petus by present developments that could not otherwise have been schieved.
