THURBDAY,. APRIL 11TH, 1940 ESmart walls don‘t take a back seat, t in this spring‘s decsorating scence at least. Oh, the wall treatment may 3e subtle in tone, but it is as important to the eflect as the new long torso is to spring fashions in clothes. The wall that is nothing more than a neuâ€" tral background "that will go with anything" is the thing to beware of in planning your spring scene, Not only do interesting colors, from pale tints to deeper colors, suggest interesting and individual ideas for smart rooms, but there are many modern materials that vary wall eflfects.

The three showed up and were astonished when they were told that they could participate on equal terms with him. They decided to form a syndicate and called in a lawyer who also wished to get in on the deal and who was taken in. The Almonte man proceeded to Coâ€" balt to supervise the work but as time went on and as the shaft sinking failed to disclose silver that was a slight panic in the group. They added up their debts and discovered that they were about $5,000 in the hole and they decided to sell out, noping to get the amount of their deficit out of the property. The wool buyer was instmicted to negotiate a sale and as he made freâ€" quent trips to New York in connection with his business he followed tip and went to see Bonbright Company of that city. After some early stalling he was told that they were acting for a client who would get in touch with them. A few days later the wool man, back in Toronto, was surprised to get a call from the King Edward Hotel from a gentleman unknown to him. It was Bonbright‘s client. He asked for a price on the property but the wool buyer hedged, saying he would consider an offer. They argued for some tims and the American stranger,â€" getting quite excited, said he would pay $100,000 cash. The wool man dGdissembled. MHe thought that this would not be enough and suggested $150,000 but they comâ€" promised on $125,000 on condition that the syndicate would accept $20,000 cash and $105,000 in six months‘ notes, drawing interest and guarantéed by a London and New York bankmg house. ‘The deal was on. The wool buyer called his lawyer and the American invited them all to dinner that night, where they met E. P. Barle of Nipissing, who promptly offéred the American $160,000, or a profit of $35,000 for a few hours‘ possession. But he refused, wanting $200,000 which Earle refused to pay. When the payment on the deal came round the American was in a hospital and. his representatives asked : for ; an extension. When this lapsed the bank- ersâ€"asked for a relinquishment obligation and a lawyer named ld-i win was sent from New York to nego â€" tiate. ‘The syndicate got 3'10000 in settlement for the $105,000 note, making $90,000 in ali for property which cost the five members $500 each and the original owner of the claims nothing.

One French submarine, the "Surcoufl," is the largest and imost sowerful in the world. Her displaceâ€" ment, submerged, is 4,300 tons, and she carried 8â€"inch guns as well as torpedoes.

Maynard Keynes‘ pamphlet "How to. Pay for the War," and suggests a disâ€" cussion as to how far the ideas of Mr. Keynes are applicable to Canada‘s part in the present conflict. First, let me express the conviction that the Budget speech of last Sepâ€" tember, and the various statements emanating since then from Hon. J. L. Ralston, Minister of Finance, and the chief officers of his department, includâ€" ing the Bank of Canada and the Foreign Exchange Control Board, amply show those in charge of financial and war policy in Canada to be fully conâ€" versant with the views of Mr. Keynes, |as well as the official views of those An charge of policv in Great Britain and lannce "Deferred Savings‘" an d "Tron Rations‘"‘ Discussed.

In the last war, the value of money was cut in two by the increase in prices, and strangely enough, that inflation was acâ€" companied by an improved standard of living for many workers. It was not until 1919 that the burden was really shouldered of financing repayment of interest and principal to those who had financed the war. This time, the expenses ol war are t be paid for by each nation largely | as it goes along, 6y so each tells us. It! is difficult under taose cireumstances| to Je paid for by eacn nauon iaiisciy as it goes along, sr so each tells us. It is difficult under circumstanctes not to agree with Mr. Keynes that every one, including the workingman and the trade union leaders, should realize the desirability of other methods than inâ€" flation being adopted. It is true that the pressure of the war and the necesâ€" sities of war may eventually lead to a rigorous weeding of industries and work which do not tond to advance the war efTort. How Deal With Increased Wages and Profiits? But his suggestions for the restriction of consumption, however desirable it may be to study them for use at a later period in the war, are currently not practical politics in Canada, where production by the present lapor and plant resources is still a considerable distance from its maximum. â€"When everybody â€" men and machines â€" is working here to the utmost, and then even greater war efforts are called for, those additional efforts must come by way of greater and greater individual sacrifices. It is apparent, too, that in principle, if not in detail, Mr. Keynes‘ plea for social justice in taxation and in spreadâ€" ing the sacrifices of war should be listened to. He warns that increased wages and profits as a result of a stimâ€" ulated war effort may easily lead to a much greater expenditure for nonâ€" essential or nonâ€"mliilary goods than has been the case in peacetime. Obâ€" viously, that would be undesirable, if the full effort of the Allies is to be put forth. Capital Levy Proposal Is Premature His suggestion that workers should be paid in part by "deferred earnings" or "enforced savings" which coud be expended only at a suitable time when the war is over has great merit for study. ‘It is plain that these suggestions cannot be pushed very far until inâ€" dustry and labor become very Active, or it would reduce the indivdual in= SeaSne Sn aGe 43 04 s Sn ind Snd ind Snd Snd ds CovGo Eo in itz dn 12e dz Teaite in Te e ate css ate a2ea2s # _ .' # # ¢4 *# *# *4 *# *# *# # *# #4 # # ## # # Wt # # *4 * # #4 # *# *4 * # *# # w# *# # *# 6 t# *# # w# + * 4# # * Q.f.“ *# “.“ % ® # * *# ## + # * # ## *# # * #,. * .0 0.“ *# *# *, * s* 0.‘:“ *4 ts ## 44 * .. * _% e**s* ## *# + **% # + *# ## *# w akd *# + # .0 Ask for it at Â¥our Dealer Toâ€"day | BOTTLING WORKS | Returns Your Clothées in Doubleâ€"Quick Time SLOMA ODORLESS CLEANERS If you‘ve ever needed clean clothes in a hurry, then you‘ll appreciate the dependâ€" able speediness of Sloma‘s Cleaning Serâ€" Our equipment the finest in the north cleans your clothes thoroughly the odorâ€" less way. * f p Phone 7 Balsam 592 St., Nerth THOUGHTFUL CARE AND DIGNITY CHARACTERIZE OUR SERVICE CLEANING â€" PRESSING â€" ALTERATIONS SOFT DRINKS COCAâ€"CoLA PULPY ORANGE CREAM SODA IAME RICKEY LEMON SOUR The Finest In the North .

His suggestion for "iron" rations to families is meant simply to ensure that the heavy taxation and enforced savings do not cause dangerous hardâ€" ishlps to those below the poverty line. If a mors strenuous waging of war |makes all these advisable, it will also be wise to follow his suggestion that the commodities entoring into the "iron" ration should be strictly limited in number to essentials such as milk, pctatoes, shoes and blankets. centive to labor. All these suggestions by Mr. Keynes are in addition to exterding taxation further down the income scale. They are antiâ€"inflationary in that the net trend is to reduce conâ€" sumption of least essential goods. Mr. Keynes® suggestion of a capital levy after the war is not a matter for current consideration. No one knows how long the war will last and what the total necessities will be.
