THE EMPIRE World Conference and the Empire Britain has already set an example of initiative and energy; there are great possibilities, in the Empire as & whole, of cconomic recovery and deâ€" velopment. To go ahead with a pracâ€" tical program is imperative; it would have been a duty, whatever the sucâ€" cess of the Conference; it is a duty, whatever may or may not be done early or late, to give effect to that hops that called the conference. As things are, with no certainty of expecâ€" tation that anything worth while will result from it, the call is all the more clear for realizing the possibilities within the Empire, perhaps with the coâ€"operation of some other countries, â€"Auckland Weekly News. The Japanese have still one great lesson to learnâ€"the lesson that in the long run quality always tells; and failure to appreciate this point may yet prove their undoing. Their goods, thoush cheap, are almost invariably "nasty." Not only are they‘inferior in quality to similar goods of Western manufacture, but they are often turned out on a plan that must be described as one of deliberate sharp practice. Instances of thisâ€"especially in regard to misleading tradeâ€"marksâ€"have been freely quoted in the daily Press during the past week; and South Africa will not easily forget the food ot "daummy" lead pencils (containing balf an inch of lead at each end) dumped into this country from Japan soon after the war. Many similar instances could be mentioned, and the Sunday Times was not exaggerating a fortnight ago when it referred to "heelless socks, crutchâ€" less pyjamas, backboneless ties, furâ€" less hats, leatherless shoes, and silkâ€" less â€" silk goods"â€"all from Japanâ€" Johannesburg Sunday Times, The Changing World The world changes; and the minoriâ€" ties of yesterday are the majorities of toâ€"day, A few years ago the Eastâ€" bourne woman who called a beachâ€"pyâ€" jamaâ€"clad girl a "brazen huzzy" would have been applauded as the uphoider of the decencies and the conventions.

At a time of unparalledel difficulty Great Britain has recovered first place among the exporting nations of the world. _ Uneomployment is decreasing and though conditions are still very far from normal they are probably betâ€" ter than in an other highly industrialâ€" ized country.

Pigs staggered, cows cavorted and ducks squawked hilariâ€" ously. The animals had lived a resâ€" pectable rural existence prior to the arrival of Sergeant Frank Samson, R.C.M.P., and Constables Barr, Bailey and Warner. The mounties later emerged from the barn carrying sevâ€" eral cans of pure overproof alcohol. A still capable of producing 100 galâ€" lons a day was found in a secret comâ€" partment under the hay mow. Part of the cow barn had also been parâ€" titioned of as a vast underground mash manufacturing plant. Four vats were bubbling over with sugar mash when the mounties arrived. The mounâ€" ties had no thought of consequences when they allowed the spoils to flow into the creek. The answer came when a herd of cows wallowed in for a drink. Then one cow threw back her head and bellowed hilariously, A secâ€" ond jumped a fence. Then the pigs staggered away from the bank and flopped into mud.
