We have a relative surplus of people in some + parts of the Empire and an undoubted dearth of man-power in the Dominions and in some of the Colonies. But successful migration de upon trade S3bansion; that is to say, the eapacity of the Dominions and Colonies to absorb large num- bers of new settlers is in proportion to their ability to find stabilized and expanding markets for the resultant increased output of produce. Furthermore, the capacity of the Over- seas Empire to buy in Great Britain is governed by the ability of the various countries to establish credits here; and this can be done for the most part only by the. disposal of goods * overseas--preferably in Great Britain." e can see the possibilities of inter-Empire trade by this little study re boots and shoes: : : "The latest census of production, in 1924, gave the total value of the output of leather boots and shoes for that year the number of persons in Great Britain'as £47,416,000, and employed in the industry as 147,000. y "The diagram in Plate XIV shows the annual average total exports for the four years 1924-27, from the United Kingdom to have been valued at £4,870,000, of which £4,144,000 worth went to Empire countries. Table 19 shows the total annual average purc of the Overseas Empire, during the same period, to have been valued at 26,018,000, of which £1,500,000 worth, or 25 per cent. were supplied by countries other than the United Kingdom. The chief foreign suppliers were France, the United States and Switzerland. Table 19 gives also the values of imports from the United Kingdom from year to year by the principal Overseas Empire ! countries. : " i» _~ "The diagram in Plate XIV shows us also that the United Kingdom herself during the period 1929-27 imported boots and shoes to the annual average net value of £1,885,000, over 90 per cent. of which came from foreign countries, chiefly from the United States, Switzer and any." "CANADA. . In 1928 Canada's own manufactures of boots and shoes amounted to £9,657,000. "AUSTRALIA. The total output of boots and shoes in Australia in the year 1927-28 amounted to 29,587,000. : "NEW ZEALAND. Manufactures of boots and shoes in New Zealand in 1928 amounted in value to £1,169,000, . "SOUTH AFRICA. The value of the output from boots and shoes factories and repairing establishments in the Union of South Africa in 1927 was £2,116,000." The whole matter will require patient studying and adjust- ment. There is no use in jumping at conclugions; but we could begin to think in the line of inter-Empire trade. That will be something accomplished. ANTARCTIC WHALE HUNT (Cond¥nsed from "The Living Age" by Erich Dautert, in Readers Digest) The first Jramer of dawn shines on the horizon.

The harvests have been good. There is an abundance of food for both man and beast. True, there are crop failures here and thére, and some of our own ~ people suffered severely ficm tail. We sircerely regret their heavy loss. It is a great misfortune to-work for a whole season, and then have the c1(p destroyed in less than an hour. But we do not have the widespread tragedies of such countries as China, India, or Russia, where great areas suffer and real hunger faces the population. Canada is a land of plenty. There are two matters that needs correction--prices "and distribution, Prices of farm products are too low--often below the cost of production: The cure for this condition is in the hands of two classes of people--buyers and sellers. The buyers need to see that extremely low prices spell poverty to the farmers, and if the farmer has no money he cannot buy the goods which the manufacturers and merchants have to sell. Farmers. on the other hand require courage and co-operation. Every time a farmer sells his products at panic prices, he helps to lower prices on the market. It is so easy for the buyer to say--*'Oh, you're too high, I got butter and eggs from J---- for such and such prices," J---- had sold in a panie. It takes a lot of courage not to do this when you really need the money; but co-operation would help. v There is a feature of the distribution of farm produce that should change. Expenditures for relief because of unemployment has made the Governments constant buyers of farm produc:s. This buying should be a direct trans- action between the Governments and the farmers instead of being let by contract to some large concern, In this two benefits would accrue. The profit that usually goes to the middleman could be paid direct to the farmers, who certainly need the money badly, The second benefit to the farmer would be a tendency to stabilige prices at a reasonable figure, : . Much has been said about sup ly and demand when farm products are considered, and there is considerable talk ho world markets and prices. That is not the way the manufacturers talk. They fix their prices according to costs--and profits. If so much artificial help can be given to the manufacturer, a little might be tried for the armer. & . with of danger. a Int great ball of fire.

The A PONY IS BEING GIVEN TO BOYS AND GIRLS AT OSHAWA FAIR A public spirited citizen of Oshawa, who is interested in boys and girls is giving away a pony at the Oshawa Fair. Every boy and girl who pur- chases a ticket of admission to the Grounds or to the Grandstand at any time during the Fair, will receive a coupon on which there is a' numbet. The number which will be chosen will entitle the holder of that number to thé pony. The number will be an- nounced in front of the Grandstand on Wednesday evening before the close of the Fair. Some boy or girl who walked to the Fair can ride home.

The 1932 Fair is the biggest and most complete show ever attempted by the Board. The admission fee is 25 cents to the grounds and 15 cents to the Grand- stand while it lasts. Children's tickets are 10 cents to each. The Fair promises a fund of in- formation and education for its guests and entertainment and pleasure for all.

Chisholm's last week, Mr. Fred O'Boyle sustained a heavy loss on Friday night, when his barn, containing the season's grain crop of sheaves, the two cuts of hay and a number of implements and some pigs, were burned. Mr, O'Boyle and family were at the street dance at Port Perry. Miss Mildred and the hired man, being the only ones home. They were not aware that anything was amiss until passersby woke them up about twelve o'clock, but the fire had gained such a headway that it could not be overcome. Returning from Port Perry about two o'clock in the morning, they saw the reflection but thought it was the fireworks at To- ronto, until they approached Myrtle, when they decided it was a neighbor's barn, and did not: realize that it was their own until they were within a half mile of the farm. Only last year on the thirteenth of June, their barn was burned before.
