Ancient Highway Providence Journal: Nothing is to be gained-indeed much is to be .ost ---from a continuance of an attitude which refuses to acknowledge the cold. hard fact that the moratorium is but the beginning f an inescapable task in securing common tsaerifiees from the creditor nations. Theoretically. Germany should pay and pay and pay. Practically. she can not pay and pay and pay unless the creditor nations are prepared indefinitely to retard the recovery of the world's economic equilibrium for the sake of collecting an excessive political debt levied when the collectors were still dominated by the unreasoning passions of war. The sooner definite information comes from the creditor nations that a com- plete readjustment will be made when the moratorium expires, the better it will be for creditors and debtors alike. There were 80,497 miles of surfaced highway in the Dominion, and On- tario led with 34,379 miles of this, while Quebec was second with 13,302 miles. Some 20,000 miles of highway was constructed or improved during 1930, over 4,000 miles of this being in Saskatchewan and over 3,500 in New Brunswick.

Parents' View of Scouting The July issue of the “Miami Louie" contains a short article written by the parents of a Lone Scout in that dig. trict, in which the following state- ments are made: London Times (Ind.): The farmers. upon whose prosperity is built the prosperity of the West and, indeed, of the whole of Canada, are feeling the pinch of bad times, and despond- ent voices are heard regretting that the reduced income of the country has been so heavily mortgaged. But that-like the depression-is a tem- porary phenomenon. The Western Provinces will recover from their pre- sent setback, and may well he the more prosperous in the end for the lessons learned during their time of adversity.
