Indirectly, Germany gave aid to her industries by placing at their disposal all those improved processes which had been worked out in her scientific labor- atories. In effect. these improve- ments gave German producers a monopoly; for all the results of re- search were kept secret. ‘ This was made abundantly clear when Great Britain and the United States at- tempted to realize on the formulas for the manufacture of dyestuffs and certain important tflrugs after the declaration of war caused the for- feiture of Germany‘s patent rights.

This has also been amply demonstrated by the Allied nations since that fateful fourth of August. 1914, and Canada has con- tributed splendidly in that regard. The United States was quick to prof- it by the teaching of experience, and to-day leads the world in the'extent of her investments on the side of scientific research. This she is do- ing quite as much from commercial as humanitarian considerations. She believes it will pay. Great Britain ‘3 of the same mind and even weak- ened France has realized that shei I00 m'ust be prepared for German ag- grewion in her own markets. In the final issue, we should have nothingI to fear from German competition it the struggle could he carried on with an equality of equipment.

Ulster Does Not lince Words in ~ Charging Cabinet. With Treachery (Belfast Weekly News.) The condition of abject slavery to which the British Government has been reduced was made evident by Ir.W"1nston Churchill’s speech on PM 16.

SAMUEL Gunman ASLEEP 1 WHEN BURNING ROOF FELL (Owen Sound Sun-Times.) ‘That Mr. Samuel Gardiner, a resi- dent of the Shouldice settlement in Keppel is alive toâ€"day is only due to the fact that. he is not a heavy sleep- er. On Thursday evening after supâ€" per he lay down at his home to take a short sleep, and about half past seven he was awakened by a heavy thud. He found the house all in- llames and the roof fallen in on the ceiling above him. He immediately rushed to the door and reached safe- ‘ty before the room in which he was sleeping was burned. _ Mr. Gardiner has lived in the house which was burned for many years. His. parents built the housel of log and frame construction near-j ly half a century before. and since his parents” death only a short time ago he has been living alone. After doing the evening chores he came into the house and lay down on the bed in the bedroom. which is on the first floor. Although MP.
