If France and Germany, with their present problems and injuries. can. meet cach other in such =a friendly mood ak evidenced at the League of Nations, surely other na- Lous should be able to do likewise. And with the two great powers that are the very centre of European rivalry resolved fo compose their differences and get along amicably 'together, it should be easier for all the others. There is more hope for world Peace to-day than there has been since 'the ecstatic days that follow- ed 'the armistice. And the present hope seems more substantial. It is based on the calm convictions of statesmen who, disillusioned in many things, have not lost hope in the essential decency of human na- ture and who, as practical men in LPRNE..

Twenty-one years is a long span of life of a man, re. marks the Calgary Herald, but it is a brief period in the life of a State. The progress made by the Province in that period is truly described as "amazing." Its growth is attribut- ed to the combination of remarkable resources and the character of its people. Alberta attracted a fine type of settler in tho days before it became a Province, and in the days of its later development it contin- usd to draw mem and women to | whom the pioneering life appealed. "Prom the first," declares the Cal- sary Herald, "Albertans have de- manded that the Province be served by the best equipment of modern life<--schools, hospitals, railroads, telephones. The church was a plo- neeér. of ploneérs here, as it is tn most countries, and the progress and strength of the Christian chureh in this Province form one of the mast striking proafs of the soundness of our stock. "On the whole, it may be truly sald that the cultural growth of Al- bertd has kept pace with its great material growth. The past can not be viewed without thought of the future. What sort of a future is this Province to enjoy? So far as ma- terial welfare fs concerned, there need be no limit to future expan~ sion. We possess a country of im- mense extent. Its natural resources are rich and most varied." No other Province is endowed with a finer equipment of Climate and soil, and we have timber, fisheries, coal, ofl, gas, all that is required by a self- contained community. ....The fu- tars depends on the use that the people will make of this opportunity. The future is in the hands of gov- ernments. It is in the hands of the individual home makers of Al- ~ Congratulations fo Alberta on at- taining its majority. There can be 'no doubt that the bright future pre- dicted for it by the western paper will be realized. The remarks it vidual citizens are applicable equal- ly to the whole country. The future is, indeed, in the hands of the-home- issue recently guthorized, market- able. ; According to a survey made by the National Industrial Conference Board, living costs in Seattle, De- troit, Jacksonville, Cleveland and San Francisco are the highest in the United States.

Boosting the Farmer's Dollar. Washington . Post: It is tale 167 any political party or any sfatesmes to promise to raise thé purchasing power of the "farmer's doNar" by law, Tt is equally idle for any political party to promfle to make wheat worth $2.50" a bushel by Act of Congress. Yet this is practically what some politicians are promis- ing the farmers. Is it proposed that the money returns from farm pro- ducts shall be made higher, so that the "farmer's dollar" shall be on a par with the manufacturer's dollar and the consumer's dollar? If so, 'he fact should be stated clsarly, vith all that it implies. It means that Congréss is to be asked to vaise the prrices of farm products and then hold them at a high price, against the -consunmier.

PHONES 20 and 9%0, state of mind of those péopls in the Maritime Provinces, and more espec- lally in Nova Scotia, whose minds are stirred by a séntiment that the entry of thesé provinces into Confedeéra- tion, far from benefiting them to the extent they had a right to expéct it would do, and as it was promised it should do, has, on the contrary, hin. dered their development and coi promised their prospérity. As a matier of fact these recriminations which rival politicians have used te serve their own political purposes, and have thereby stirred a great deal of régretiable exasperation, are jus titled only in part. If it is true that the Maritime Provinces have not ad- vanced with a rapidity equal to that of certain other provinces of the Do- minfon, they have, nevertheless, made appreciable progress. It is un. Just to pretend to ignore this fact. Thé New England States have not done better. That the Maritime Provinces have legitimate grievances nobody thinks of denying.
