There is a dis- tinct mdvement which has the support of many leading educationists, authors, bus- iness and nancial men, and members of various provincial governments, as well as the Dominion government, to establish the industry on a finm footing in our own land. Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Kingston, Ottawa, Toronto and other places have dur- ing the last few months witnmsed the pro- gress of the plan. It has already resulted in the making in Canadian territory of pic- tures of universalheart appeal but with distinct Canadian atmosphere. These pic- `-tures, it_ is worth noting, have found :1 ready market not only in the United States but with most British and European coun- tries. They are frankly advertised and announced under their own Canadian name`:- and there is _a demand for more, especially those of outdoor life. Nor are these of necemity pictures of our winter time, or calculated to give strength to the idea we valent in some quarters that this is a land of snow and ice. Many American writers, as well as some o_f}s ur own, have helped to create, that impression to the discredit of a country and a climate that every true citizen` of -the Dominion has a right to be ' proud of. Ernest Shipm-an, a Canadian and a successful producer, is -the apostle of the new movement in Canada, and he has euc- ceeded in convincing many leaders of thought and industry of its opportuneness. One need not be afraid of being dubbed a propagandist or -a booster for certain in- terests if he warmly welcomes any plan that will atablish on a rmbasis a big industry in Canada, and at, the same time assures that our people will soon produce clean and appealing stories in pictures made in their own land.

As President Harding of the United States-and others it _will be followed by other and perhaps more important .gatherings with a view to erecting safeguards around the ideal of peace for the world.

Nations. as represented at such gatherings. do not move faster than public opinion, though it must be confessed that representatives sent there are not always in closest. txouc-h with the mass of opinion in their own country. Raymond Poincare. the French `Premier, put the matter well in one of those ashing sentences which his country- men expect of him when he declared that the world was in need of moral disarma- ment. In other words, thatthe abandon- ment of warship construction, the upbuild- ing of great armies, and -the maintenance of conditions provocative of war would be removed when the minds and hearts of the people were determined that they should be. `Our own representative, Sir Robert Borden, held something of the" same idea in mind when. he. stressed the educational ed on territorial rights which would inevit- i value `of the gathering, It would appear tlia.-t`Canada is on the eve _of a new-era in connection yvith tne _.-__-_... _:.J..._- !_..I....A..... l'I'VL...... .. .. A... war debts of the allies and their associates? T-he question arises as ;a result of the re- marks made. by Premier Lloyd George at theopening of the British Parliament. -It was, `he said, impossible for Britain alone to cancel debts, or make ,-a satisfactory re.-' adjustment. That would depend upon ac- tion -by` all the other nations. It would be unwise for Britain to abandon all her claims against other countries if they were not willing to reciprocate. But if all the nations would come"together' and consider their war debts, they -would nd that Bri- tain would not lack in any generosity or justice. -In the same speech he made a re- ference to the nancial chaos and the con- sequent desperate situation of Austria.- Britain was advancing two -million pounds immediately to -that country, good security having been pledged. France was also making advances. These were temporary measures pending the removal by the Un- ited States Senate of certain difficulties in the way of assistance on the pledge of Austrian national securities. Lloyd George put-it very diplomatically. The n_1an in the street, however, may have his own opin- ions and express _.themvmore"bluntlyg as to the attitude of the United States and the lethargy of its Senate in matters of this kind. It would appear` from the remarks of Premier Lloyd George and other intim- ations and hints that there has been a much more serious discussion as to the proposed cancellation of war debts than has yet been made public. 4 What is in the wind in `respectto thel In connection with the statements invthe` British Parliament and elsewhere on the proposition tocancel war debts. it is worth noting that the pound sterling has steadily adv-anced on the New York Exchange. It was over $4.36 when this was written. The Wall Street Journal takes this continued improvement as a text on which to preach a sermon to the people of the republic. `Bankers and nanciers, itsays, hold the opinion that foreign exchange is pronounc- ing judgment on theforeign policies adopt- ed by the United States. They prophesy that Great Britain will obtain. before many months have passed, a predominant hold onrinternat-ional trade. These bankers believe that Britain will not only pay her debts. but cancel those due from her allies, and also forego her 22 per cent. of German reparation in `return for trade advantages. This is a rather exaggerated view, perhaps. md.Lloyd George s speech, as quoted. would seem to discount it in a large meas- ure. But there "is little doubt that what- ever may be done by the United States. the `coming Economic conference at Genoa willwitnesgi momentous decisions` for Eur- ope and that Britainwill be the star of the piece. It does seem that European read- justment is now in sight. : T THEIE 'sTGNTFutiu7Jc'Ef7 -- `y wausamrcomu. i :W9;R_l-.l!EYEl[T1: Mmw ~ was wounded and captured and sentenced To those of-an olrler/ggeheration-.v_the name of General Christian De- . t, whose `death was recently announce , recalls some of the dark days of the South African War which began in 1899 and lasted several years.

It was an insignicant af- fair after his intervention. Botha an Smuts, after the crushing of De Wet's up- rising, were able to turn`their attention to German areas in Africa. Their aid to the British and the allies was invaluable. dries would seem to be a. plan worth while.
