Position to Play Big % Part > -gptom . x One of Canada's proudest achieve- ments commercially is her status as fifth in international commerce. Not only is Canada capable of supporting | herself, but she has a wealth of pro-| duction for which other countries all over the world are clamoring, In over 130 different countries, Canada, which! ordinarily to the inhabitant would be | regarded merely as a space on the map, and a background for thrilling adventure stories, becomes a reality in Canadian goods which are display. ed for sale and which they buy as commodities or luxuries. Ships sall the Seven Seas carrying Canadian ®oods far and wide, and in return bring back to us the choicest of dis- tant dands. Two of the main clients of the Do- minion of Canada in the export trade are the British West Indies and the Orient. The West Indies trade is a natural and increasing factor of inter- Empire commerce. They are our clos est ifiperial 'nefghbors and lack near- ly all the produce in which we are so rich. Important to Canada The- importance of foreign trade on Canada's Pacific Coast 1s one of our brightest hopes for the future. Nearly three-quarters of the world's popula- tion dwells in countries bordering on the Pacific, and many of these are only just opening up to western civill- zation. The British Columbian ports are some of the most Jogical and con- venient for the Orient trade, and it would be difficult to exaggerate the possibilities this offers when the full development of these countries is at- tained. One of the most widespread trades of Canada is that in furs. It would be useless to enumerate the different countries which she supplies in this line, for she is recognized as the world's general fur depot. Wheat is at present the most voluminous de- partment of the export trade and finds its chief customers in the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, the West Indies, Denmark, Ireland, Holland, South Africa, Norway, Spain, Greece, Italy and Brazil. Hay to Europe Hay Is sent to Germany, Belgium Holland, British West Indies, and the United Kingdom, while the same places provide markets for a great proportion of the barley and oats which we produce. Canadian forests sources of lumber for Japan, China, Australia; New Zéaland, the United States, South Africa and the British 'West Indles; and in the form of pulp and paper are exported to the United States, Great Britain, the Argentine, Australia, New Zealand and other markets, Although tobacco growing in any quantity is a comparatively new ven- ture in Canada, it has made tremend- ous strides in the past few years, and Canadian tobaco is becoming known in the world's markets. At the pre- sent time, about 29 per cent. of the Canadian crop {is exported to the United Kingdom. Feeds Many Peoples Besides providing a great deal of the bread, Canada also produces and exports a considerable number of .other things which find their way to _the world's table. Meat and lard are sent to the United Kingdom. Ger- many, Belgium and Holland; cheese to the United Kingdom, British, West Indies, United States, Belgium, Hol land, Germany, South Africa and Den- mark; eggs sail from Vancouver to Auckland, New Zealand, and from Montreal to England, The Red Cross Helps Guatemala Volcano in "Guatemala Sud- denly Erupts--20 So Far Dead and Relief Crews 'at Wo : are the main | protecting the sales market. ters, is not without its valde to part of the public which learns catastrophes rather than from experi- m! and expansion carefully planned, and that caution must be observed in not pursuing profits at the risk of losing, the whole business. American indus. try has learned that lesson well, and the last few years have seen hand-to- mouth buying, rigid inspection of over- head costs, and careful attempts at As a re sult, there has not been as severe an industrial disaster since that last one of 1920-21, and there are a number of economists of note who maintain that the country has actually ironed out the business cycle or flattendd fits rolls. The recent unprecedented fall in stock market prices is not directly re- lated to industrial activity, but to the large number of individual investors and speculators who have hoped to get rich quickly by buying securities on a small margin. The lesson they have learned, at some considerable expense, is that, while expectations of great profits may boom a stock up far out of proportion to its earnings, such hopes will not keep it from a drastic fall. Investors who were caught in the unpleasant episode which culminated this week have realized that those without ample resources should buy stocks outright or at a margin constj- tuting so high a proportion of the purchase price as to make it easy to hold on to securities at a critical period. They have probably also learned the wisdom of buying securi- ties which, beause of their relation to actual earnings, are paying a dividend that makes it possible for the owner to hold on indefinitely without being overwhelmed by carrying charges. If the large investing public has learned some such lessons as these, it is prob- able that this month's decline in values may at some future time be looked upon with a more tempered re- gret than the recency of the occur- rence now permits.

Whaling Season Ends on Vancouver Island Total of 406 This Year as Compared With 314 in 1928 Viotoria.--The last whale has been hauled up on the beaches of the west coast of Vancouver Island for the sea- son and the year's quest for the world's largest mammal in the north Pacific is now only a matter of record. A total of 406 whales were taken this season by six whaling steamers of the Consolidated Whaling Corpora- tion, compared with last season's catch of 314. In the past there has been a steady market for the oil and bone of. the whale, and now British Columbia whalers are finding money in whale's teeth. These are sold in Japan. The sperm whale, which is the common species off the British Columbla coast, is the only large whale equipped with teeth, Removal of all the marketable por- tions of a whale carcass is but a. mat- ter of a few minutes when the expert Japanese and Indian cutters com- menee operations. The blubber or flesh is cut in strips; 30 feet long b¥ three feet wide and one foot thick. It is peeled off like a skin from a giant orange, the "pull" being generated by a steam winch. One side finished, the whole whale is turned over with fourfold blocks and the other side is stripped. The ribs are then chopped through with an axe along the back- bone, and the whole side torn out to explore the inner workings of the monster. These are neatly severed from the body and hauled out. What remains of the carcass 1s then hauled off the landing skid, cut up and turn: ed into fertilizer. The blubber, cut into easily-handled pieces, are fed into a revolving knife, which reduces them to the size of Guatemala City.~The government and the Red Cross put forward great efforts to give relief to the 800 vic- "tims of the t eruption of the vol: | _ cano Santa 70 miles northwest of this city. official" death list.

If a canine hap- pens to belong to that class of ineligi- bles for blue ribbon honors, he is just a "plain dog." But he is fever a mutt. This was made manifest when the society held its annual "Plain Dog Show," which had been exploited by facetious newspaper writers variously as "a pooch exhibition," a show of un- lovely pups," and a "mutt bench." The term mutt, although approbious to the S.P.C.A., has a different mean- ing to the urchin who, perhaps, has found his pet lunching around an ash can. When a very freckled and very red headed boy leading a yellow "plain dog," a hopelessly plain one, by a string, applied for Admission to the show, he asked: "Say, lady, is dis de place where de mutt show is going on?"

They have heard of the opportunities awaiting agricultural settlers in €an- ada and are eagef to find refuge In this cougtry. < A It is understood that the 'depart ment has been asked to allow these people to join fellow Mennonites prin- cipally in Western Canada, who may be willing to open their homes and give them refuge until next spring when they will be able to find employ- ment onthe land. This action urged not only on humanitarian grounds but because the families con- cerned are bona fide agriculturists, law-abiding, well-behaved, and . al- though disposed to settle in groups are by no means communists, The good record of the great majority of Mennonites already settled in Canada is urged in their behalf." Immigration officials {interviewed admitted that a proposal to bring 1,000 Mennonite families to Canada from Moscow has been presented to them, but they would not state wh er or not the proposed m 'would be authorized. It is Ambitic that much depends upea the assur- ances which can be given , that the families will be given shelter and maintenance In Canada by fellow Mennonites until suh' time as they are able to establish themselves. smd) Women Working For Senate Seat No Appointment Likely Be- fore Christm es Already Mentioned - Ottawa. --Plenty of women are writ- ing to Ottawa these days seeking a seat in the Senate.
