The circulation of The British Whig "4s authenticated by the Audit Bureau of Olreulations. ENN Recently the Toronto Globe wrote an editorial about the lost Muldoon baby under the caption of "King Baby." The Whig reproduced it as a gem of good English. '"An Old- Fashioned Mother" at Kenora writes that she had seldom read anything that expressed: her sentiments so well. She will have the artitle printed in large letters and framed. Then this good mother goes on to say: "My husband and I think that our babies are the most important thing in all the world. They always come first. They are the only thing worth while, and I know whereof I speak, for we have had eleven. Our eldest is twenty years, our baby, nine months--and all hale and hearty. One of our neighbors raised fifteen, and they say that every one of them was a good investment. When I pick my babies up and hold one above the rest and say, 'This is the King,' I feel that I have said something." ' Would that thousands more moth- ers could feel the same way. Then we would have a Canada worth liv- ing for! their influence the Gaul is becoming an Anglo-Saxon. They are destroy- ing his manners and his morals, his traditions and his secular elegance.

During the recent election cam- paign we heard a lot of nonsense from speakers and newspapers anx- fous to discredit the Mackenzie King Government, about Canada's business depression. Anyone listen- ing to or reading these jeremigds might be pardoned for assuming 'that Canada was really in a very bad way. It is therefore very comforting to Jearn from a statement just issued, that the net improvement in Can- ada's favorable balance of trade for the twelve months ended October 81st last, as compared with the pre- ceding twelve months was $77,383,- 766, while the increase in imports was only $46,530,420. The total net improvement is also nearly $20,- © 000,000 better than the net improve- "ment for the year ending September 20th last, the figures for that period 'being $58,369,930. There was also a marked improve- 'ment in the exports from Canada to the United Kingdom, the increase totalling $55,029,515, Trade with Australia also Improved, showing a gain of $500,000 for the year. Ex- ports to the British East and West Indies increased $3,000,000, and to New Zealand 'they jumped nearly $2,000,000, In commodities export- 'ed from Canada there are very gen- erous increases. These include gold, lead, nickel, newsprint, automobiles, wheat, flour, meats, ete. This all happened under the Mackenzie - King Government and is a definite 'and final reply to the election charges of Conservative orators.
