During the past few years con-| siderable trouble hag been experi- | enced in securing a sufficient sip | ply of coal for the needs of Ontario, The source of fuel has always been the United States, and when that country made up its mind to enter | the war, certain restrictions were | imposed on the export of coal which | caused a shortage of supply in this | ] #ili go on strike if their full salary | lemands are not granted.

Canadian imports from the United States in January amounted to $74;- : $80,425, as compared with $57,379,- in January, 1919. This is one of reasons for the discount on Can- money, and until the imports o considerably reduced there will $8 no improvement in the éxchange. « A -------------- The Russian Soviet government a that Russia was promised ol tinople by the Alliés as'a re- ward for their war efforts in 191». since the Soviet refuses to pay he debts of the former regime, they nmot very well expect to cash in on y rewards that were promised it. ing what the future will bring, es- pecially as some United States Senators have talked of putting an embargo on the export of anthracite coal to Canada. 'With such a situation before us, it is. not surprising that the Canadian Manufacturers' Association is mak- ing a thorough survey of the coal re- sources of Canada, with a view to making thi§ country self-supporting in regard to. fuel. In Alberta it has been discovered that there are en- ormous deposits of,coal. Competent authorities have estimated that one twelfth of the total coal supply of the world is dhder the soil of this province, and it is anthracite coal of the best quality. It is, therefore, quite possible for Ontario to find its total coal needs supplied from this source. There is also a very large coal deposit in Nova Seotia, and al- though this is largely soft coal, it is merely a matter of educgting the people to its use that stands in the way of its being utilized to its full- est extent. In the maritime pro- vinces the people use soft coal al- most exclusively, and find that it answers their needs admirably, Therefore, it should be an easy mat- ter for the people of Ontario to do the same. : The only stumbling blocks in the way are the mining of sufficient quantities, and the cost of ship-| ment. These can easily be surmouny- ed. Once the demand for Alberta coal is assured, the mines will be able to carry on operations on a greater 'scale than ever before. The freight rate could be adjusted so as to enable the Alberta mines to ship their coal into Ontario nearly as cheaply as the companies in the Un- fied States can do. The exchange charges assessed on coal from over the horder would be eliminated, and would' make it easier for the Can- adian companies to meet competi- tion. Then again, there would be an increase in the use of Canadian pro- ducts and a decrease in imports from the United States, filling ex- actly what is needed to right the ex- change situation. Canada should have started to use her own coal resources many years ago. They lie undeveloped, and pro- the Jrice of bleacher seats. Bringing Up Children.
