' - I was lately looking over a statement of the United Fruit Company, | a financial report, more wondrous than the fairy tales of Grimm. Few stocks listed on the exchangg have cut more melons than that of | the United Fruit Company. But their money was not made in Wall street. | A large proportion of their dividends was realized from trade with the | British possessions to the south: % { I look tor a day when Canada will have her share of that great trade. The history of the past inclines ome to look forward towards increasing associations between Canada and the West Indies. With common cit- izenship, each is complimentary to the other. The felt that we are all British should be more than séntiment in its effect on permanent lines of trade. In the halcyon days of sailing ships, Canada was the fourth maritime country of the world. At that time our booming industry of shipping de- pended primarily upon the commerce of the West Indies. More than one great Bank of Canada was then founded with the wealth which came from that same commerce. What we have done once, I beleve that we may do again. When I | read the United Fruit Company's report, I catch therein a vision of new fields of Canadian endeavor. Trinidad is fast becoming the Hong Kong of the West Indies. What T. Geddes Grant, a Canadian Scot, is accomplishing there is a presage of what many another Canadian may even yet accomplish in this British field of virgin promise. Ih Bermuda, I am constantly reminded of the opportunities for | that lie along these nearer routes of trade. From my winter home, at Fairyland Point, I see the steamers of the Canadian Pacific, of the Canadian Government Merchant Marine, and of | the Royal Mail Company plying back and forth, like a weaver's shuttle. | Bermuda is not one of the West Indies. It is, however, the 'half-way | house between Canada and the Antilles. y /In matters of transhipment it is confidently stated that the Furness ! withy Company intend to make Bermuda a great shipping centre, the hub of the wheel, in the company's operations in Canadian-American and West | Indian waters. | has been organized in connection with thp development scheme for the running of hotels, warehouses, etc. The best trade scouts are always those most directly concerned in the business. Sam Vauclain's maxim was, "if you want markets get after them." How much business we lose in Canada just because we ignore that maxim! Not long ago I was lunching in the India House, down town in New York. : In the course of conversation, a friend inquired, fools? "Why? "Well for instance the bulk of the cocoa you get in Canada from West Indies passes through'the hands of American brokers. Why can't you hand- le that yourself?" ' "Why can't we? = We can if some bright young man in Halifax, Mont- real or elsewhere will waké up to the possibilities of West India trade." It is the popular thing with some of our folks when they take a holi- day to trot off to Florida, California or Atlantic City. Why not take a trip from Sam Vauclain, and combine profit with pleasure' in such trips? | Go to places where you will find .énjoyfifent, plus potential markets for | Canadian business. Take a Royal Mail boat out-of Halifax for the West Indies. In Ber- muda and Barbadoes are tourist resorts equal to the coast of Florida, while beyond its pleasing features that Royal Mail tour abounds with op- portunities for the Canalian business men who pass that way with eyes open. Millions of bunches of bananas every year pass in through New York and other American ports, from there to the markets of Canada. Why can't a bit of that same trade come through the ports of Halifax and St. John? Why should Canada in the banana ' trade depend solely on the monopoly of the United Fruit Company? Increasing commercial relations between West Indies pod Canada is a most logical affair. We are north. They are South. plementary to the other, and best of all both north and south are Ba With the opening up of the Panama Canal, new and undreamed of trade routes are awaiting development. The Royal Mail Line from Halifax passes through the Leeward Isles, and on to Georgetown, British Guina. But Georgetown is not the end, it is only the beginning of vision. When the railroad to Manaos, in the Amazon Valley, is completed, and'when that in turn is linked with De- | merara, Georgetown will be the ocean terminal of the .South American railroads. British Guiana Itself has not begun to touch the fringes of its pos- 'sibilities. No other country to the south appeals to me so strongly. List- ening to the gossip in the local club there I feel that British Guiana is a Land of Promise, waiting for another Cecil Rhodes. In British Guiana on the mainland, in Trinidad, in Barbadoes, ana in Jamica, and in all those scattered British Islands, there lies an alluring field for Canadian business enterprise, The Fordney tariff has banged one door in the face of Canada, and also in the face of the West Indies: That closing door has taught us that if we cannot put trust in foreign markets we can put trust in British markets, because the liges of trade established between ourselves are not subject to change and disarrangement. A preference has already been arranged between us. Under this re- ciproeity agreement, products like sugar, rice, cocoanuts, coffee and or- anges, to' mention only a few articles, are admitted at a reduced rate to us "Are you Canadian i Canadian ports, whilst Canadian manufactured goods are sent to the West Indies at a special ad valorem rate _-- The direct result of that agreement has been of mutual benefit to both contrasting parties. American and German manufactured goods have found it increasingly difficult to compete with Canadian products whilst Canada has the advantage of cheaper agricultural produce. : With passing time I believe that Canada is destined to rise to a dom- inant place in the commercial and political policies of British North Am: erica, 40 become as it were the big brother of the Antilles. - On the front page of Friday's To- ronto Globe is shown a cut of a pro- posed C.

ALL READY FOR OPENING OF KINGSTON EXHIBITION Which Is To Take Place Tues- day--A Big Attendance R. J. BUSHELL, The stage is all set for the opening of the Kingston Industrial exhibition which will take place on Tuesday morning at eight o'clock. For a week or ten days a number of the directors have spent considerable time getting things in readiness for the grand op- ening. R. J. Bushell, secretary treasurer and manager, who spent the past four days at the Ottawa exhibition} return- | ed to the city on Friday afternoon and is working day and night getting things in shape for the opening. It is fullyrexpected that the attend- ance this¥year will surpass- all pre- vious records. A The midway, which is one of the best attractions at the fair, is expect- ed to arrive in the city on Monday at the latest and will be ready for the grand opening on Tuesday. The mid | way, which is-owned by Henry Myre- hoff, has played at Ottawa and wil come direct to Kingston. Kingston- ians who attended the Ottawa show, stated that the midway was excell- ent and that Kingston was very for- tunate in getting such a good show. It was learned at the secretary's of- fice on Friday that all the available space in the main building had been allotted with one exception and there are all kinds of applications Jor that location. A large number of out of town concerns are anxious to get space. There are so many entries ior the cattle exhibits that it was found meces- sary to rent some large tents from the Turner firm at Peterboro. The cattle will commence to arrive if the city on Monday and will: be placed under cover, A portion of the roof on the main building, which has been in bad shape for seme time, has been reshingled, and put in first class condition. The entries in all classes' will not close until Saturday night so it is exn- pected that there will be a great rush at the last minute as has been the case during the past few years. There is 'a special prize of $75 of- fered for cheese, made during the months of July and August. The first prize is $25, second prize $20, third prize 15, fourth prize $10, and fifth prize $5. A special prize of $50, which is only open to makers in the county of Frontenac, has been 'offered for cheese made during the present season. The Standard Bank of Kingston has contributed $35 of that sum, and G. G. Publow, L. L. Murphy and John Gib- son have each given $8 towafds the prize money. Some of the Features. The directors have made special ar- rangements for performances in front of the grand stand both afternoon and evening. the Famous Hay Waggon cat is being brought direct from the Hip- prodrome and will. be one of the fea- tures, twice daily at the fair, A new feature of this year's fair will be the Womgn's Institute section in the western end of the main building in which women of Frontenac dis- trict will display the arts and crafts of farm women.
