The number of Canadian students in the universities of Paris has been growing considerably for some time. A despatch from the Havas Agency reports on this: "An increase of 20 per cent. in the number of Canaâ€" dians studying in Parisa this year has been estimated. Twenty of them are studying medicine and about thirty taking literary courses. Canadians and Frenchmen fraternâ€" ize at the University and accustom themselves to the manners and the thought of the two countries." At the Congress of the French press held in Quebec in 19384 on the ocâ€" casion of the fourth centenary of Canada personages like MM. Flanâ€" din, â€" Marchandeau, Franc â€" Nohain and others insisted upon the advanâ€" tages of promoting the best and most solid intellectual relations beâ€" tween ‘Canada and France. Our students who are working in the City of Light can, if they will, work successfully to create these necesâ€" sary ties of intellectual sympathy. Canadians will certainly gain someâ€" thing and the French will certainly lose nothing.â€" The Sherbrooke La Tribune. t rank in the United Kingdom. Not so long ago, the King‘s brother, the Duke of Kent, took delivery of a sedan of, the same make as that which the Duke of Windsor is using, and more recently a straight eight built in Ontario has been ordered by Lord Elphinstone, brotherâ€"inâ€"law of Queen Elizabeth. Moreover, _ Lord Bessborough, a former Governorâ€" General of Canada, who is now deâ€" voting himself to his English busiâ€" ness interests, has become owner of a similar machine. When it is remembered that these and many other cars of Canadian manufacâ€" ture are being sold in England in competition with the best that the United Kingdom and the Continent can produce, it is indeed a tribute to their quality, reliability and beauty that they should be given the preference. â€" Brockville Recorder Prefer Canadian Cars When King Edward VIII abdicatâ€" ed and crossed the Channel, he took with him the motor car of Canadian manufacture which he has been using for some time and this he is now employing during his stay in Austria, Canadian cars are, indeed. popular with individuals of high Fame serves up r fickleness.

So far from appreciating the necesâ€" sity of migration in youth, however, opposition speakers attacked it with some passion. Their zeal to preâ€" vent child drudgery did them credit, but they were fighting an imaginary bogey. The necessity of giving youth a proper training in its new cireumstances before it enters a Doâ€" minion labor market is now recogâ€" nized, and, as our Melbourne corresâ€" pondent has just pointed out, the success of the first Fairbridge Farm Schoo! has shown how the problem can be solved It is by the encourâ€" agement of this and similar schemes through financial assistance as the new Bill provides, that the advanâ€" tages of youthâ€"migration can be seâ€" cured and its drawbacks avoided. But the wider implications of these projects must not be overlooked. If the Dominions wish their new setâ€" tlers to be young and readily asâ€" similable, then they too must take thought for their future. Migraâ€"| tion and development must go hand} in hand.â€"London Times. 1 Unemployment in U.S.A. Decreases By 477,000 Noah‘s Ark was approximately eâ€"half the size of the modern viathan, it is said.

Roads To New Mine Fields One of the features of the Domâ€" inion _ Government‘s policy which has come in for a good deal of fayâ€" orable comment in this part of the country is the policy of giving asâ€" sistance to mining roads, roads which will assist to open up new mining fields, increase the country‘s mineral production and so provide more work. Quite a bit has already been done in that connection in Alâ€" goma, and there can be no doubt but that this work has played its part in the development which has taken place in the last year or so in the Goudreau and ‘Michipicoten fields. And the same is true in other parts of Northern Ontario and other provinces as well. But there| is scope for more work along the| same lines.â€"Sault Ste.

Charles Cox, Mayor of Port Arthur, is doing the right thing. in failing to lay a charge against the woman who is alleged to have thrown acid in his face and thereby endangered his eyeâ€"sight. No sense of gallantry should obtain in a case of this kind, a very serious criminal offence. It is alleged that because the Mayor of Port Arthur was tawing a certain stand against high school salaries, the method of throwing acid in his face was taken. The seriousness of the offence gives inducement to cranks at any time to go and do likeâ€" wise. Public men have a right to be protected, and invoking the law would serve that purpose, no matter what the penalty might be on judiâ€" cial review of the case. THE EMPIRE PRESS No Privacy CANADA _ THE EMPIRE Marketing methods brought â€" out wide discussion. Representations were made on behalf of various kinds of wheat boards, pocls and the open market and futures method although submissions of the wheat pools themâ€" selves have still to be made. Guaranâ€" teed prices were proposed as an aid to farmers and opposed on the ground they offered nothing to farmers who had no crop to sell. \ ' Tariffs‘ embargoes and quotas by | European countries and general conâ€" | traction of world trade were blamed ‘ for reduction of wheat exports. Among | contributing factors were cited Canaâ€" da‘s textile tariffs which were declarâ€" ' ed to have reduced purchasing power in European countries which bought Canadian wheat. Reciprocal trade treaties, stabilizaâ€" tion of exchange and vigorous adverâ€" tising and sales policiee were advo-‘ cated as steps to extend Canadian wheat sales. Open competition had to be met and quality standards bad to be maintained, witnesses declared. Importance of foreign markets to the wheat and flour industry was generalâ€" ly recognized. In the 1,200,000 words of evidence already written into the records durâ€" ing Winnipeg and Saskatoon sittings, the commission has heard arguments for and against varicus forms of marâ€" keting. Causes of declines of wheat and flour exports and numerous views on various phases of the industry have been submitted.
