\ EMPIRE Empire Markets Best The foreign markets of Great Briâ€" tain are declining steadily. To deâ€" ceive ourselves by arranging costly trade exhibitions abroad is as futile as the old idea of giving tho populace a procession when they were hungry. We must sell to these who have the will and the means to buy from us.

He is the wiso ruler, the wellâ€"informed statosman, and the genuine sportsâ€" man: a democratic King.

Hence it‘is that when the King‘s horse wins a race all the King‘s subjects are delighted.â€" Toronto Mail and Empire. Every Inch a King An incident at Royal Ascot, Engâ€" land‘s famous raceâ€"course, revealed another reason why King George is revered by all his subects. One of the King‘s horses won an important event, and afterward, amid the plaudits of a great multitude of his people, the Royal owner "led in" the winner.

The most encouraging feature about the Dominion‘s population figures just issued by the Bureau of Statistics at Ottawa is the. rapid growth of the western provinces.

No one imagines that the Continentâ€" al European nations will attempt to resume payment to Washington unâ€" less and until Germany resumes payâ€" ment to them. Britain has already deâ€" clared that she will resume payments, regardless of receipts from her own debtors, if the United States so deâ€" mands. But there is a vast difference between willingness to pay and ability to pay in the face of virtual temporâ€" ary world bankruptcy. of the latter country has already served notice that the Hoover moraâ€" torium will not be extended beyond July 1 of this year. While there is a general suspicion that that attitude is dictated mere by the exigencies of the political situation in the United States than by determined permanent policy, it effectively precludes serious final discussion of the whole question until after the Presidential election.

Owing to the present widespread unemployment, many forâ€" eigners are flocking to the Legion, and its numerical strength has been largeâ€" ly increased. Its efficiency, too, has been increased by a good deal of combing out, and the adoption of a higher physical and mental standard for legionaries. Most trades and proâ€" fessions are represented in the Leâ€" gion, and many of the new legionaries are skilled mechanics who will eventâ€" ually find their way into the engineer and pioneer companies of the Legion. These companies were formed in 1922 by Marshal Franchet d‘Esperey, chicfâ€" 1, for work on railway construction in North Africa. Thy are destined to begin building the Transâ€"Saharan Railway if the politicians can make up their minds about it. LOCUSTS MUST GoO. It is very good news for North Africa that the breeding places of the desert locust have been found in Africa between the tenth and cleventh parallels of north latitude. Regularâ€" ly every year these pests take toll of the vineyards and crops in Algeria and Tunis and Morocco. Large sums of money are spent annually by the various government in antiâ€"locust campaigns, but it has long been recâ€" ognized that the only way to succeed is to carry the war into the enemy‘s country, To do this international coâ€" operation is needed to discover the regular locust breeding grounds, Hapâ€" pily France and Italy and Britain are taking united, or at least coâ€"ordinated action, and research is going on in different parts of Africa.
