Intenference by outside "sources in such matters is not always wise, and usually not ,wanted_ at least in the begin- ning of the trouble. However, the coun_try at large is "bound to suffer from them more or less acutely and eventually `public. opinion may `forceaction on the .part of' governments. It does seem strange, at this stage in` our civilization, that disputes which give cause to strikes cannot be set- tled by mutual agreement. but must be carried on to the pointtwhere suffering is caused indirectly to thousands of noxi- participants as well as to those directly in- volved. V In dais .country there has been a good deal of criticism over the migration to the United States which at periodical times has assumed grave proportions. A new agreement between Britain and Canada," under the Empire Settlement Act, makes more liberal terms to: assisted immigra- tion. -Safeguards as to the length of time the new-comers must stay in the country in order to secure refunds on the cost of passage may work out all right. One may doubt whether any forms of aid can begin to approach, for lasting results, the volun- tary immigration of the right class of people. But all will hope that in whatever manner settlers are brought to Canada they will "be a credit alike to the country and to themselves. On the whole Canada has been fortunate in the work of nation building.. Nikolai Lenin has been killed many -ti-niies but his dead at last. The Red dictator who was the head and fron of the final`insur- rection which turned ussia into a Bol- shevist country," and `his right-hand-man, Trotsky, both bad the privilege of reading the` reports that -they were dead, _but like another celebrated` gentleman they `refused to believe it. Trotsky. who in alarge de- gree shared power with Lenin, now occupies amuch more humble position in the Coun- cil 'of Ministers which rule the country. History will give both their rightful place.` In any event Lenin lived long enough _to see the shattering of many of his theories. The dependence of Russia upon the capit- alism which it wa;s`to do. without in the Red dawn, is the answer to many of the long distance defenders`of Bolshevism. months.ending `on tire last dey _of Decern-. ber, 1923. _E:iports of- natural` products . show considerable` increase `but there is also a-gratifying addition in the exports of- xanufactured materials.

Only in exceptional cases should this be done. But some one says. Everything here is so dear.- Well, I do not find it so but very seldom, and I do not believe our merchants are foolish enough to putup prices totsend us away `to buy goods somewhere else. .'I'here2's not in this day anyone giving goods away; ' some may try to fool us at times by telling us so, but do not believe them, they are fakirs.
