It is full of information re- garding this little known British possession. Canadian readers will have been astonished as Trade within the British Empire seems the only solution. Canadians and other members of this great Empire are seeing more and more that this is so. There is nothing needed in this country that cannot be purchased from some part of the Empire. There is nothing grown or manufactured in Canada that is not needed and cannot find a market in some part of this same Empire. Gradually we are getting to know this, and gradually the methods of business are be-‘ ing adjusted that will allow of this scheme be- coming more than mere talk. This argument may have been well and good when we had foreign markets to deal with, but with these foreign markets shut off from ourt manufacturers and food growers through no set of our own it seems fit that we should turn elsewhere if we wish to keep up our trade relations and have our wheels of in-‘ dustry continue in their manufacturing opera-l ABOUT THINGS BRITISH Canadians are thinking today, as never before, of things British. More and more we are turning to the purchase of Empire products as one of the means of getting ourselves out of the present slump in business. Politicians tell us that if we want to sell we must buy, mean-I ing, of course, that we must build up our for- eign trade by purchases in foreign countries if we wish to sell of our Canadian products to Whoaoever is afraid of submitting any question, civil or roligiom, to tho tat of Ira diamaiou, is more in love with hi: own opinion than with the Truthâ€"WA TSON.

On reading the article we wondered if the Enterprise was really sincere in its contentions .or was it paying to the gallery, or indulging in petty politics? If the Enterprise is sincere, then it is not giving very much consideration to the unemployment situation, when every employer of labor, and every community is, or should be, doing their utmost to create employment for‘ those who need .it.

It says there are 17 miles of road- way when there are 15; it says Grey County has to pay over $150,000 next July when it is $118,- 000, and 835,000 of this is being held over until next year. statements.

In last week’s issue it came out with a rather fanciful story of how Reeve Bell and Mayor Murdock, of Durham, had been a “dep- utation of two” that waited on Hon. Leopold Macaulay in Toronto to request him to complete the work on Highway N o. 6 between the Tober- mory sideroad and Chatsworth. We have not yet read more than a few paragraphs of the opening chapter. Everywhere we go we consult the map, and in this way the reading is delayed, but the information gleaned lasts longer. The book is illustrated with up- wards of twenty-five colored and line draw- ings, and is written in a racy, pleasing man- ner by the author, Ivan A. Donnelly. We know we shall enjoy it and feel very thankful to Mr.. and Mrs. Seymour for remembering us with this excellent volume. Is is any wonder, with this kind of law administration, that lawlessness is more preva- lent in some countries than others? None regret this condition more than hundreds of thousands of United States citizens, but somehow or other the grafters seem to be in the driver’s seat, and nothing can be done at the present.

A subsequent investigation has shown that the whole police service was overrun with graft, and while the majority of the members were native of the Islands, they were evidently not a whit worse than a good many other forces in the United States.

Geologists tell us the ice age is coming and North America will be covered. It will be be- tween 50, 000 and 100,000 years before it ar- rives. We hope it doesn’t arrive on Thursday. The Chronicle has to be issued, ice or no ice. Advice to the farmers on how to make money these days must remind them of the song “How in the divil can the cat and the fiddle and the cow jump over the moon?” MacKenzie, of course, was a member of the Royal Air Force and, we understand, not in the Canadian service, but this should make no dif- ference: He did his bit, paid the extreme pen- alty of being rendered unfit for making his liv- ing in the midst of civilian competition, and should be cared for. His case is not much dif- ferent from that of many Canadian returned men, who were promised everything, and in far !too many cases have not received even common justice. The closing down of the De Beers Diamond Company may not cause as much flutter in some circles as the closing down of the Diamond Beer Company. We have little use for the argument that a war service overseas should entitle a man to be government fed for the rest of his life, pro- viding he is able to work, but incapacitation from war injuries entitles him to sympathetic consideration. Far too many of our boys are not receiving this. What a reward for outstanding service to his country! What an example of a country’s appreciation! There may be a reason for all this, but we have altogether too many of these cases to suit the ordinary citizen. each. He was the last men to be shot down by the famous Baron von Richthofen. ' SOLDIER HERO PAUPERS From time to time one reads of the circum- stances of certain returned soldiers, and the reading makes one’s blood boil. Down in Los Angeles, California, is a British war ace, Cam- eron MacKenzie, once hailed . for his bravery, holder of the Croix de Guerre with four palms, and the Leopold medal, ekeing out a living in a police station cleaning guns at twenty-five cents 1 THE PERFECT MAN The editor of the Chronicle can never pass for “the perfect man." The other day we read the specifications. Afnong them was the re- quirement that one must be 5 feet 8 inches, have a waist of 31 inches, and weigh 140 pounds. This was only part of the statistics. On “checking up we found we were 5 feet 7 inches, weighed 185 pounds and had a waist line of 44 inches. We quit right there. We don’t give a darn what the other specifications are. And so, we’re not “perfect," and once again the woman in the case was right. She has been’ telling us that same thing for the past twenty years or more. How in tarnation can a fellow pose as “perfect" when he is the same distance around the ankle as the “statistics” says he should be about the waist? misinformed, and instead of trying to verify the facts was more interested in taking a backhand shot at the powers that be in Toronto, powers with whom it does not agree. tutor as partners mum-mm: youngcwpleupcrtnmmlfle.um usplendldevenmg'sen um mmuyenjoyedbythe butflymchumnmeooucrmrs bloodtndhebecomumoctenthm “covet-it.
