We will suppose that the possibility of retaliation is removed, there is still the welfare of the settler to be considered. It would almost inevitably follow that if the market was relieved of. ¢om- ] 2 of pulpwood would be placed at the lowest possible figure, and the settler who depends upon this product for his cash in the early days of clearing would find himself re- stricted in profits and perhaps in ready market. These matters have to be adjusted slowly; and it is pleasing to note that they are moving in the right direction. It would be interesting to watch what "reformers" in these matters would actually do if they had the power.

Mr. W. O. Seely, of Hamilton, Ontario, has been writing of Canada's Necessity and Opportunity. He says in part: Now that we have generously celebrated the Diamond Jubilee of Canada's Confederation to the full, and rejoiced over our glor- ious past, should we not immediately bend our energies to ac- complish much greater things during the next 60 years, or say 40 years to the Centennial period. How can this best be done? My belief is, that we could and should do the most for Can- ada with Canada's raw materials, natural products, and general resources, that kind Providence has so bountifully blessed us with to a greater extent than any other country in the world. Ifthe 1,600,000 cords of raw Canadian pulp-wood that was manufactured in the United States last year by United States workmen, at an expenditure of $100,000,000 thereon, had been manufactured into finished paper products in Canada, it would have employed in Canada 50,000 workmen eight hours per day for five days per week at $1.00 per hour for 50 weeks equalling $2,000 per year per man; with his family averaging say four per- gma Travellingin AE Canada or Abroad bw 4, \ N ESSENTIAL requisite for an RTS extended 'trip in Canada or a- 2 broad is a letter of credit, The details of obtaining funds en route as the p sion of a personal letter of credit from the Standard Bank.

The Party who earnestly takes up this Truly Canadian Policy will surely win the next Federal Election. Receiving Royalty and Britain's Premier. To us whose lives are not dazzled by brilliant uniforms, nor excited by the blare of trumpets and shouts of thousands this little picture of the reception to the Princes and to Hon. Stanley Baldwin and Mrs. Baldwin will be of outstanding importance. As reported by the Toronto Globe) Montreal finished to-day, (August 1st), what was begun last night. And Montreal did it well. It was the happiest of endings that her people wrote to another chapter in the new story of the Princes and the Baldwins. In gay crowds, on gay streets, the city did it, and in unbridled enthusiasm, born of an unfettered loyalty, her people said it. It was an amplification, boisterous, yet dignified, of the welcome given the visiting Ambassadors of Empire at the river wharf last evening. It was tremendous. It was significant. Civic Reception in the Morning. The Princes motored to the civic reception this morning, still flushed from an hour and a half at squash racquets, to capture the populace with all the neatnéss and despatch of their game on sons, would immediately provide employment and a comfortable the courts. Thousands on either side of their avenue of approach living for 200,000 additional people in Canada. If the.$7,000,000 worth of raw Canadian asbestos that was manufactured in the United States last year at an expénditure of' $70,000,000 had been manufactured in Canada into finished pro- ducts, it would have employed 35,000 additional people with their familites making an additional population of 140,000 people. If our Canadian nickel exports that were manufactured into finished products in the United States last year had been manu- factured in Canada, it would of necessity employed 50,000 ad: ditional workmen providing for an additional 200,000 population in Canada. Our copper and other minerals, plus our saw logs, raw lumber and other exports combined would have employed over $250,000 more people making a livelihood in Canada for an additional mil- lion population' at once, and as our conversions were made more intensive, we would provide for another million.and so on. A million additional people here, would immediately increase our Home consumption of agricultural, horticultual, and manu- factured articles, and everything else we use by at least 10%, and considering the new workmen would largely be non-producers of food stuffs, it would increase our home market by 20 to 25%. See what this would mean to our producers of agricultural, horticultural, poultry, meats, and all other kinds of food-stuffs. So in preportion to our producers we would have the best and largest porpartionate home market of any country in the world. Make Canada a country in which every person can do well and prosper, and millions of the best people will come here. We have the raw materials to do it with, why not act at once? : We have the coal, and transportion facilities to distribute. it. Why not use it? and be self reliant in this as well as most other respects.

Canada's " the above'lines, paid loud-voiced tribute to their passing. They rode behind a wealth of color, and through it to an even greater store of it. The Royal Canadian Dragoons, eighteen glittering figures, preceded them; all about them the flags of two nations dipped in homage, and facing them--two "thin red lines" of scarlet and busby--the Canadian Grenadier Guards, of which the Prince is an honorary Colonel-in-Chief, came to the "present" as guard of honor in a fashion that bespoke man-after-man pride in the compliment they were paying. Prince Takes Salute. The heir to the Throne took this Royal salute with a snappi- ness of return and a general perkiness of manner that until today in this Canadian tour had been sadly missing. In his inspection of the Grenadiers he chatted intimately with Major H. D. E. Rol- land, the officer in command, and gave close scrutiny, as is his custom, to men who sport the ribboned symbols of service along French and Belgian battleways. Prince George was accompanied by Col. Stairs in the round of the ranks. The reception setting at the City Hall civic dignitaries well as military lent color. Major Mederic Martin's rich robe of purple velvet contrasted sharply with the blue and crimson of the militia officers, and. with the attire of Brig.-Gen. W. B. M. King, who received with him. Odd splashes of color--chinese blue and glaring white--were provided by participants in the recent Jubilee of Confederation pageant. The sun was high and it made throbbing gold spots of highly shined buttons' and medallet., Silk toppers--and there were hundreds--gave off their own particular sheen, and the wav- ing of handkerchiefs from the ranks of the waiting thousands of patient civilians was like the sudden bursting of a kaleidoscope. And down upon this riot of color stared Nelson's monument, a cold, grey pile of stone, significant reminder of the remarkable friendship that has grown up between the French and British nations since Trafalgar was the issue, er Enter Stanley Baldwin As the Prince passed on inside the of Honor, another knitter of ties of national brotherhoed whisked into the picture. He came bareheaded, grinning infectiously, and waving his broad hand with which he directs the destinies of state and the affairs of Parliament back home." It was Premier Baldwin, with Mrs. Baldwin, equally pleased at their reception, at his side. Camera men ran the gauntlet of the police and descended on the Baldwin car like a hurricane let loose. Would Mr. Baldwin pose? Of course, Mr. Baldwin would. And, of course, he did, with camera shutters working lightning fast, and the 'police, who have their own little way of handling crowds in Montreal, fretting under the strain of not being able for once to remonstrate with ~~ The scene within the City Hall was a brilliant one, f crimson velvet Jacks was vivid against the background of the white marble walls. er oy the left sat tires oman Catholic \ rich. ems, lending a fine touch
