IYGSTON THE LOGICAL POINT. 9 a The Buffalo, N.Y., shipping auth- ority, who writes in the Financial Post regarding the new Welland Canal and points out that Kingston 4s the logical port for the eastern fake terminal, and not Prescott, is 48 accord with the large niarine in- forests of both Canada and the Unit- States which are vitally, in ted. All the big shipping com- iiles emphasize the tremendous danger it would be'to send big ves: 'gels down the present St. Lawrence @hapnel through the Thousand Is- Jands to Prescott. They would refuse fo do so, and the Canadian Stdam- $hip Lines Limited, for one, would §ld its own elevator at Kingston gather than put its vessels through the risky channel to the east of us. There is no argument whatever in favor of Prescott as the eastern ter- . The fact that it is sixty miles rer Montrea] does not matter, be- 'gauge for the 600-foot heavily-laden n vessels from Fort William to h it, they would, have to take ous risks in navigating a ; that is dangerous enough boats half their size. That King- will be chosen by the Dominion ernment as the terminal is" a one conclusion, for the marine ts will demand the location of the federal elevators that be 'required to handle the im- mense quantities of grain that will unloaded at the foot of the lakes i then reloaded into river barges, thieh will carry it to Montreal for at Britain and Burope. RH KEEP BOTH DAYS, he Toronto Globe, and we think is wise in its contention, does not in with the suggestion of com- ing Armistice Day and Thanks- ng Day, because of their proxi- to eked other. The date of Nov. 11th, has been "apart by the British people" to memorate the cessation of hos- in 1918 and to pay a silent [bute of respect to thosp who fell the Great War. It is a day of ly and solemn memories and of fnful recollections to tems' of ds of Canadians, and has lit- in it of the festive spirit that is distinguishing characteristic of giving, as its name im- {s an occasion of rejoicing. Its {nent features are gladness for the material bless at have enriched the Domin- is a day dedicated for the giv- to Almighty God for g of the harvest and blessings that have marked thé 4) BUSINESS FAVORABLE IN : CANADA: : In Canada, the business situation is 'very favorable, says a New York authority, Last year's large crop sold at good prices; so that the far- mer paid off a large proportion of his indebtedness, and the return from this year's crop should be suf- ficiently large to maintain or to in- crease the farmer's purchasing pow- er. Agricultural prices bear a 'much better relationship to the general price index than that {shown fa-the United -States. In the United States, the average price of agricultural products has fallen to about 136 as compared with 150 for all commodities, while in Canada, > vegetable products have an average price level of about 168 as compared with a general price level of 154. In an agricultural country like Canada, such a price relationship is itself a strong factor tending toward con- tinged prosperity. {iroad earnings have been high, and a large proportion of the crop has yet to be moved because of late harvesting; building activity is con- tinuing on a satisfactory scale, news- print production continues to make néw records, automobile production is far ahead of previous years, immi- gration figures show improvement, and the increase in bank loans this year over those of last year is suf- ficient to warrant the assumption that the present volume of business is substantial. September employment figures, the latest available, equal or suppass those of last year in almost every Lline of industry, and in some lines the increase is striking. In building, the figtire stands at 217 against 180, in non-ferrous metal 'manufacture the employment figure fnr Septem- ber was 125 against 83 for last year, and for all industries the figure 'stood at 105 as compared with 97 for September, 1925. The lumber in- dustry continues dull, although even there the figure is slightly ahead of that for the previous year. With low, well balanced prices, with a good volume of trade in mo- tion, with most industries showing {mprovement and no serious factors out of adjustment, the general pros- pect for business and industry in Canada must be said to be favorabie. While $ minor setback from the, good times of the past year might be brought about by a temporary re- cession in the United States, yet the general outlogk favours a continued period of good times in Canada. The outstanding fact remains, that though Canada is mot experiencing a boom, vet all basic statistics indi- cate that Canadian industries are on a more sujstantially sound basis than at any time since the war. USE OUR LEGS. A---- The good™old promenade lis a cus- tom now almost obsolete and yet trom a health standpoint it was of great service. Since the advent of the automobile walking has declin- ed, and only those who know its val- ue keep it up. The Oshawa Re- former is seeking a revival of the old custom. In other days twilight in every community found groups of people -- nice people -- strolling quietly along the street, stopping to chat with other groups and combin- {ng soeldl intercourse, mild after- dinner exercise and enjoyment of the best part of the day in a fashion as {nexpensive as it was charming and conducive of health and neighborli- ness. A champion of the promenade irges that we use our legs, It is cheaper than riding and more rest- ful'to mind and body. ---------- ti pr ANTIDOTE FOR CANCER. Dr. W. W. Chipman, president of the Clinical Congress of the Ameri- can Council of Surgeons meeting in Montréal, said the best panacea for Nving was, "The simple iife: that of maintaining a sound mind In a dili- gent and useful body." This prophy- laetic is a sure antidote against can- cer. It also has a tendency to pro- long lite. The lqw death rate from cancer among the French Canadian is due to their frugality. He warns against over eating. The Montreal Star adds that the Canadian people as a nation do not, we may be rea- 'wonably sure, indulge in such high ving or in sufh heavy living as out American cousins.

Quebec Viewpoint La Press thinks that she Labrador case could have been settled without the exp@nditure of a million dollars, by consultation of a good dictionary. "Upwards of one million dollars have already been spent on costs in the case which is being fought before the Privy Council regarding New- foundland's claim against the prov- ince of Quebec for eertain Labrador land. The plead #0 far have turned on the ineipretaion that is to be given to the word 'cast.' Sir John Simom, counsel for Newfound- land, has not hesitated to go back to the Bible to support the claims of his client. It omly remains now to £0 back to the deluge. It illustrates the difficulty of understanding men's meanings in the use bof words. Words are Intended to express something clear and precise. If, conscious of this principle, we go to the trouble of finding, to express our ideas, de- sires and decisions, the exact words which shall faithfully translate the exact object or subject Indicated, we shall not have any trouble in making ourselves understood. Negligence in this regard will inevitably conduct us towards an experience analogous to that which occurred amongst the builders of the Tower of Babel Nothing could better serve the cause of the lawyers. But in the case now being argued before the haw Lords of the Privy Council, it is clearly "Jvident that the word 'coast' does not mean 'watershed.' It hardly seemed necessary to spend 4 milliom dollars to arrive at this conclusion. A good dictionary ought to be suf- Helent to eettle the litigation." - {nave still to realize that there is a {rommonwealth of equal nations, tod that Canada is one of them. : Paying Proposition.
