The per capita consumption of lamb in Canada has always been much lower than that of other meatS. At the same time there is no more tasty meat than good lamb, and fresh killed. home-grown Canadian lamb is unsurpassed in quality. Lamb is seldom marketed in this country at over six months of'age. and. consequently varies very little in tenderness, tastiness and quality. If properly cut up and prepared ion the table with reasonable. skill it.‘ will surely make an appetizing and healthful meal. A small illustrated pamphlet on the Selection of Lamb luts. t‘listriljiuted by the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, ()ttawa. gives many pointers on buyi g, cutting up and cooking this meat. According to the pamphlet .the ideal lamb carcass weighs from 35 to 40 pounds with a preference for the heavier weight. It should be hlocky and well rounded out. carrying a good leg of mutton and an even covering of fat. The meat should be fine in the grain. firm, juicy and nicely interspersed with fat. coarse grain being the result. of age or poor breeding. The. pam- pihlet gives instructions for making the various cuts. and for cooking in different ways. BAT MORE LAMB THE DURHAM CHRONICLE An editorial in the Christmas week issue of the “Saturday Even- ing Post” entitled “Borrowers” was particularly offensive, and it is quite unnecessary to rehash all the intricate ramifications of the war debt :question to demonstrate its untruthfulness of certain of its as- sertions. For instance, Mr. Lorimer .says with reference to the debt [cancellation movement which start- .ed in the United States about 1920, that “the British and French laun- ched an emotional propaganda here and that failed.” In the context he goes so far as to suggest that France with other nations was anx-‘ ions to let Germany off and make‘ America pay. It is hardly conceiv- able that any responsible editor could be so ignorant of postâ€"war politics in France, which based fantastical financial policies on Ger- many’s payments, but there it is in black and white. a loss on book debts that instincts of veracity disappear when he‘con- templates the subject. To him Great Britain, France and the other na- tions of Europe are mere mendi- cants who should be left to sutfer and starve, but at the same time forced toupay‘ up. _ with misinformation as to the European debt situation to tell the truth once in a while. Its editor, Mr. George Horace Lorimer, sprang into fame a good many years.ago as the'author of “The Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son”, the basic idea of which was that little less ‘counted in the world, “but caSh. It was a clever book consid- ered as the intimate characteriza- tion of that type of man, who has forsaken every other interest in life for money. Mr. Lorimer, as edi-q tor, seems to have identified himself! entirely with the mentality of his| character, and his utterances on the war debt question are clearly thel letters of a selfâ€"made merchant to those of his countrymen who are so weak‘as to view the problems of Europe sympathetically. Mr. Lor- imer’s mind has been so warped by the fear that pncle Sam may suffer n‘ ‘ AAAAAA L - "FALSIFYING FACTS ( RE WAR SETTLEMENTS (Toronto Saturday Night) It would not hurt that widely circulated publication, the “Satur- day Evening. Post” of Philadelphia, which for several years past has bee? supplying millions of readers that at the Versailles conference in 1919, the late President Wilson, who largely dictated the details of the treaty arrived at, made certain specific pledges on behalf of the United States looking to the secur- ity of France, which his country immediately proceeded to repud- iate;â€"â€"one of the foulest cases of in- ternational double dealing in his- tory, and one which embittered and humiliated Dr. Wilson’s last years. It is just as well that the many readers of the “Saturday Evening Post” in Canada should realize that it will stop at nothing to dis-} credit the countries to which Cana- dians, French and English owe their origins. .â€" â€" vw v“- VuWVVI‘ ’ lor of the Exchequer stated in Par- liament, was never actually utilized. It was valid for a, year and then cancelled, but in the meantime ' Morgan . Co. were paid a‘ substan- tial fee for-a service of which the British Government never availed itself. All it got out'of it was the moral prestige involved in the ex- istence of such a credit. There was nothing of low and‘cunning mendi- cancy about Britain’s conduct in this transaction, however Mr. Lor- imer may endeavor to persuade his readers to the contrary. As to .the alleged “emotional propaganda” of seven years ago it was in reality business propaganda launched ex- clusively by eminent American bankers and industrial leaders who were looking to the future, and realized that the United States could never sell its surplus produc- tion in Europe unless the United States assisted in Europe’sflnancial rehabilitation, and who pointed out 'that America had gotten all the pro- lfits of Europe’s borrowings already. lThey believed that the United ‘States would reap a greater ultim- ate profit through a pros erous and stabilized Europe than trough an impoverished one with Shylock resting on the letter of his bond. It is evidence of the fact that. all wealthy Americans are not so pre- judiced and materialistic as Mr. Lorimer would have them to be, that such a movement should have come into being under American inspiration on American soil. and should be still strongly supported.
