Dear Mr. Farmer, according to promise, I am sending you some few thoughts on Teignmouth. What strikes a stranger as the most peculiar feature of the place is walled streets and lanes everywhere. Some: of these walls hundreds of years old. - They are a necessity to prevent the town from washing into the ocean. Many of the buildings, 1 understand, are also very old. The modern structures are very fine most- ly of red brick, very few stone houses; but most of the walls along the streets are stone. Most of the streets are narrow and the sidewalks ex- tremely so in some cases. If you mest a person on a sidewalk you have to step aside on to the street to permis them to pass. The scenery here is most oven: Flowers everywhere most luxuriant~ in places a perfect paradise. The green hedges around the fields add scenery, A stranger is also impressed with the idea of solidity and per- manence. The foliage of the trees is been arranged including Men's| 5 much darker green than ours in Singles, Ladies' Singles, Men's| canada.

McIntosh, in Toronto Globe Soviet Russia has made a contract with a group of United Kingdom lumber importers for the sale of 1,000,000,000,000 board feet of lumber deliverable in the current year at prices said to be below any wage scale on which Canadian lumbermen could subsist.

It is estimated that if this contract had comé to Canada at a réasonable price it would have provided direct employment to between $0,000 and 85,000 men, would have kept a similar number engaged in providing sup- plies, equipment and other materials needed, and its marketing would have increased the traffic of Canadian rail- roads by 55,000 to 60,000 carloads. Directly and indirectly, maintenance would have been secured for 200,000 people in Canada. This simple illustration of the methods and effects of Soviet competi- 'tion explains in part why Canada and the United Kingdom are having: dif- ficulty in agreeing ofi what is to be done abs ussia. It explains why the Can: low no other course.than to insist that a trade agreement which 'does not eliminate such competition as this would be no more than a scrap of The Globe has pointed out: on past occasions, Russia's foreign trade is controlled by a State monopoly, a political State institution, which does not need to consider whether wages in the lumbering industry come out of the proceeds of sales, and can make | prices at any level to suit export con- venience. These business methods keep Canada's wheat out of the United Kingdom, closed Canada's asbestos industry, and have brought the silence of despair to the lumber camps. : 3 "a * * It was reported earlier in the Ot- tawa Conference that an understand- Prime Minister can fol-| | ing had been reached between the two 'delegations concerned, only the means 'to be adopted being in abeyance. Russia has again loomed as a snag. By tomorrow it may have disappeared if Mr. Bennett remains firm, for it is | certain he has the soundness of logic on his side. Probably only those "onthe inside" know the exact reasons behind the British delegation's fight for main- tenance of Soviet relations. The lumber interests of Britain are not united on the question. The group holding the Soviet contract is repre- sented at Ottawa for the purpose of bringing pressure to bear on Britains official _ representatives. The inde- pendent lumbermen of Britain are al- so represented, and are standing 100 per cent. behind the demands of the Canadian lumbermen for a preference of 20 per cent. and an embargo of some sort against the Soviet. The latter may be prompted by patriotism, by the knowledge that in the long run Canadian trade, will be worth more to the United Kingdom than Soviet trade, or may recognize the vlain fact that such methods as Moscow adopts t fail to der lize the lumb business in the United Kingdom. "And as to oe segation itself? Is it willing to see the Conference fail because the Soviet Republic is busying itself for the disruption of the British Empire? There are reports of wires being pulled in Downing Street, wires reaching from there to the Canadian Capital, political wires. that are so sadly entangled with United Kingdom business. A trade treaty was made with the Soviet, terminable, as usual, on six months' notice, but a large element of British voters thinks the Soviet system preferable to aristoe- racy and a House of Lords. Its strength in an election has to be reckoned with, * On the other hand, British visitors at Ottawa state a very large and growing section of United Kingdom Soviet menace and. the necessity of opinion realize the import of the]her go. keeping clear of it. But the treaty| ~ according to authentic information, the United Kingdom Government guarantees the price. Although the balance of the latter, the exporter is. certain of payment for 60 per cent., and it does not require uncanny vision to realize that a country to which selling price is nothing will not quibble the buying price, If the quotation is so high he is going to tell his government business with Moscow is profitable. Meanwhile, the bag the Government holds--the tremendous credit it hopes to see liquidated some day--is- too heavy to drop without making a racket. Also some one may be ser- iously discredited 'when admission comes that the treaty, intended chief- ly a% a political asset, has become a business tragedy. ° a How can the Government hold on to the bag and admit the tragedy? There is no suggestion that the United Kingdom delegates, at Ottawa wish to i the folly, or match the Soviet against the rest of the Empire--Canada, Australia, and New Zealand in particular--but it seems evident that their choice has to be be- tween the two, and that their decision will be one of the momentéus fea- tures of the Conference. A decision has to be made, and the choice has to fall to the Empire if the Conference is not to be a failure, If it falls on the Russian issue it will be worse than a failure, for it will mean to the nations concession to policy 'already strangling ; the It will be the final blow to © countries looking for leadership from the Conference on this question.
