In his latest note to the British government, Premier Poincare of | France, for the first time, makes a special reference to the debt which is owing by his country to Great Britain. In all the negotiations prior to that note the French prem- ier evidently looked upon that sub- ject as a distasteful one, for he studiously avoided any reference to it: and it was only when Marquis Curzon, a week or two ago, remind- ed him of this debt, that he conde- scended to mention it. Now that the matter is being discussed, it is inter- esting to note the attitude of France regarding her debt to Great Britain, and to contrast with \it the attitude of Great Britain to her only creditor as a result of the war, the Uniled States. Premier Poincare makes al least one statement which will be pleas- ant reading for the British public when he says that France has never repudiated her debts and never will. That glears away whatever suspicion there may have been that she would endeavor to escape the lability to Britain. Poincare, however, goes on to make a plea for patience. He re- fuses to believe that the British gov- ernment will apply pressure to | not first be applied to Germany iu an effort to secure payment of repara- tions. Premier Poincare has da this point rightly judged the Britisa posi- tion. Britain's attitude to her deb- tors has ever been a merciful one, and so long as France holds to her intention of paying her debts, she will have no reason to find Griiain a hard creditor, There is so marked a difference, however, between the French view- Point end the British action in re- gard to inter-allied debts as to give rise to much comment. The French premier takes the view that in the final settlement of all war finances, Tepara 8 and war debts includug, the payment of debts should come last. He claims that the war debts should not be paid until GermaLy has made ther final settlements of the reparations account. If this view is upheld, Britain will have (0 walt many years before the money lent to France and the other Aliies begins to return to her treasury. France repudiates the suggestion that the Allies should pay their debts to each other before Germany makes her Payments to them. Yet Great Brit- ain has already made a start on ro- paying her debt to the United States, and has made arrangements for its payment in full, before a cent has been recetved by her from Germany. We wonder what would have been the result had Britain askod the United States to wait for payment until the amount owing by Germany had been paid? It is not likely that this request woulld have been considered at all by the United States treasury department and #& would have aroused a storm of protest against Britain throughout the Undt- ed States. Yet the action wach Britain never dreamed of suggesting in regard to her debt is proposed by Fence as the proper procedure in Settlement of the debi she owes Britain. There is a wide breach be- tween the two viewpoints, and while Britain will, in all 'Probability, err on the side of leniency to the Alliied na- tions which owe her money, it is asking a little too much to suggest that paym¥nt be withheld until (he Germaps have made settlement in full, ------ CANADA'S DAIRY INDUSTRY. A message which is of great fm- portance to all who are engaged in the dairying industry of Canada has been issued by J. A. Ruddick, dairy and cold storage commissioner for the Dominton. Mr. Ruddick has just réturned from a tour of Austrailia and New Zealand, and his observa. tions have convinced him that, un- less the butter and cheese producers of Canada become alive to the situa- tion which is developing, this coun- try will be crowded out of a market which has for years been looked upon as almost exclusively Canadian. For years Canada held the proud Dosition of dominating the world's market for cheddar cheese, and was particularly supreme in the British market. That position, however, has been lost, and since the close of the Hh large extent responsible for the loss of the bulk of the British trade. It is conceded that New Zealand can- not produce better cheese than 'he best Canadian cheese. ence, however, lay in the fact that too many cheese of poorer quality were shipped from Canada, while the New Zealand exporters maintained thefr export at a high level of quality, This meant that the Brit- ish buyers found out that, while they could not depend on Cdnadian shipments being of a unirorm, ign quality, they could rely upon the New Zealand shipments, and as a result the latter were given Lone pre- ference. Canadian cheese producers have it in their power to regain their iost position, . bub. a re-casting of tbe methods fs necessary. This coumiry can produce, and has produced, finer cheese than 'any other country in the world. The realization that keen competition now exists should spur the producers to regain that high standard of quality which made them famous in the world's markets. The remedy, however, does nol end there. The greatest change 1s necd- ed in the export department of the industry. A strict system of grading for quality has been approved, ana this should be effectively enforced. No cheese should be exported Lo the foreign markets which has nol the stamp of the finest quality, and the shipments should be. of suen uni- formity of quality thai the buyers will regain confidence in the Cana- dian produce. The salvation of the industry les in the hands of the producers and exporters. They can, if they so desire, work out their own salvation by adopting modern methods in every branch of the in- dustry, and by meeting the competi- tion of New Zealand on the only basis which will bring success, that of quality. That Body of Pours By James W, Barton, M.D, The Complexion, The complexion means a lot ta everybody irrespective of age or sex. The difficulty in the matter of ad- vice here is that just as eyes, nose, mouth, hair, and disposition vary with different individuads so does the skin also. In some there is a finess of texture that calls forth our admiration, while in others the skin is Jess fine and always will be, Also many skins secrete more oils than, others giving one almost a greasygappearance. Others are ac- tually deficient in this quality ang have a skin that looks to be baked or parched. And 80 when you read in "beauty" hints that hot water and soap should never be used on the face, you can understand that such ad- vice might apply to a skin deficient in oil, but good soap and hot water would be an actual necessity to an olly skin. ' It you live in the country .away from dirt and dust, warm water once a day, and cold water once or twice through the day should keep the skin in condition. ' But you know that the skin of the face reflects usually the generar con- dition of the body. You know also that a plentiful use of Epsom salts will so rob the blood of its constit- uents that the skin assumes a pal- lor that is so fashionable at times, at the. expense of the actual health of the body. < So in the matter of your particu- Jar complexion you should just sit | g ® 1 The diffor- | CLUB BAGS and Clarence Ludlow Brownell, M.A. SUIT CASES Fellow Royal Geographical Society, at London, England. BARGAIN PRICES : Hong 'Kong has been having an- Gther bad typhoon season. She had one last year and had had them off and on, as Chinese records show, for thousands of years, but this] seems to be a record breaker, at] least for speed." The wind gauge | registered 130 miles an hour. NEWEST That | A GREAT SHOWING OF THE BIBBY'S STYLES is faster than cars go on any track; | It is a faster than birds can fly. speed that spells destruction. Tai fu,'big wind, is the meaning of the word. Size and swiftness are its characteristics. Of the China coast it carries with it an acumu- lation of clohd bursts that suggests the deluge, and an inky blackness that belongs to primeval of the deep, All the rain there is joins with the big wind, which also draws upon the sea for further supply, sucking up enormous quantities in water- spouts to dremch the coast, it de- vastates. As there is no light wzac ever, the atmosphere seems turned to ink, so black and wet has 1 become. Nothing human 'will withstand the impact of a torrential rain, with a momentum of two miles a minue. Even the "eternal hills" are doom- ed to disappear in time under these assaults as the great slides and washouts one may see on their sides today bear testimony. Only one thing is in the mind of the Chinese when the big wind comes. A demon is angry; he is on the rampage; sacrifices alone will pacify him. Incense is particularly effective, as the priests say, who seit it, and he is fond of little boats, all red, which are also on sale at the incense shops. «It Is an il] wind indeed that blows nobody good. Ask an incense ven- dor and he will so assure you. The big wind means fortune to him. His trade flourishes when a typhoon is at hand. His hooth has a crowd as though it were bargain day. but the chances are he has not cut prices to create a demand. The approach of the big wind created that. May- be he has reversed the custom ot this country as regards window cards -- marked out the "former price" part entirely and written fn one higher, At any rate both he and the pub- lic are keen for incemse and little 1ed boats. The big wind has given warning. It always warns before it strikes. That is the one decent thing about it. It always warns the day before by painting the whole sky red towards sunset. This illumination is dreadful in its mag- nificence, majestic and awesome be- yond expression -- it suggests a grand finsle with all the world the stage. It also sets every coolie scampering to the incense sellers for perfumed sticks and little red boats. Much less spectacular, but as cer- tain as a warning is the report of the barometer. The barometer reports as to the condition of the atmos- phere, and as the big wind is larg- ely made up of atmosphere wnat the barometer has to say is note- worthy, Its Imformation direct from headquarters, The weatherman himself broadcasts it. When the barometer reading goes down--Ilook out; the more it goes down, look out more--not in the sense of going -out to look, however. Just the opposite. It means get as far inside as possible--a deep cave leading far into a mountain being the safest refuge. With the red sunset and the fall- ing glass to warn them, the various weather bureau signals, and reports from astronomical observations from the Phillippine Islands and down the coast, Hong Kong knows that the very best it can do will not be good enough. It sends wireless messages to all the ships it can, all that are able to listen in; it rounds up the fishing boats that often cover square miles of waterfront; and scurries them to such haven as time and circumstances permit. Vessels at anchor are advised. to get up Steam and face the storm. The port does its tiny utmost to pre- pare for chaos | when darkness eat upon the face Ye.
