For svhether the Conservative Party returns to power in the next general election or many years hence, the principles it upholds and the people who adhere to them play a vital part in the thought and life of this Dominion. +It is easy to sheer at politics, but man has al yet devised any other workable system by which government and democracy can be re- conciled. The highest possible ideals may not be en- throned at Winnipeg during the convention, but it is -worthy of note that Hon. Hugh Guthrie opened the convention with the Lord's Prayer in English, and that Senator Beaubien followed with the Lord's Prayer in French. The delegates sang the National Anthem and "O Canada." Thus, in the space of a few minutes, the resonant chords of religion, racial amity, loyal- ty and patriotism 'were reverently touched. The Conservative Party, moreover, is rich in leadership material as sections of the Liberal Press have been somewhat naively pointing out for the past few months. Its problem, appar- ently, rests not in finding a leader but in nam- ing the leader, the one man who can reconcile East and West, Ontarie and Quebec, and carry the Party, banner to an early triumph. B orm .00 a year hand, CONSERVATIV E CONVENTION | tie Wh AMERICA'S HEART SPEAKS One of the most splendid things said since the war was spoken at a banquet given in the House of Lords at London on October 7, to vidiiting members of the American Legion. Réplying to Premier Baldwin's message to the Utiited States war veterans, Howard P. Savage, retiring commander of the Legion, said: "In name of, the American Legion I desire to pay homage to the patriotism {and the integrity of the British nation, i which has tasted the bitter dregs of war i 4s the "terrible price of pledging British ! honor. { We in Canada who have not seen just how tesrible that price was can only half appreciate the force of Commander Savage' s 'tribute. Then, further on, the Legion's former chief said. : I raise my plass to you and say that but for your fidelity of purpose, your tenacity in the dark days of 1914-16, we: Americans might never have had the honor of playing a part in the battle to destroy, autocratic ~eonquest machines and the good. fight for the preservation of the principles of de- tiocracy. The 'Americans would have had the honor in due course, even if Britain had failed, but their national motto could well have been changed, in that event, to "One against many." British people are not the sort to advertise their own virtues, but this eloquent tribute from the head of those Americahs who were really "Over there" will warm hearts through. out the Empire wherever British eyes see this finely phrased encomium. i » Just a few years ago a community of Men- nonies left Canada in something of a huff to find a promised land in the South American républic of Paraguay. reported that as many as had survived the rigours of their adventure were returning and that the vanguard had reached that city. Oanada as a whole will 'regard these Prodi- gals somewhat askance. It is recalled, more or less accurately, that this community was actively opposed to Canad#d's participation in the late war. Other unwillingness to conform to the few conditions of Canadian citizenship might be cited against them. i Yet, the average man will admire their cour- age im returning "after seeing, however forced to ity the error of their ways. A great deal is said about Canadian success in the United States, Yet, when one examines 'WORSE PLACES THAN CANADA Yesterday Winnipeg p | the list, the same names are repeated over and over again. It is more than probable that there are not a few Canadians in the United States who would return home if they Had the nerve or, as with the Mennonite emigrants, if they found life hard enough. The future of these returning Mennonites is sly pledictable. They will dig in somewhere and work with a new inspiration. A few years from now Canadian magazines will be publish- ing feature articles, profusely illustrqated, about their success. Canada isn't the worst place in the world as the 'Mennonites have discovered. These sectar- ians, however, know something that a number of young Canadians don't, and that is how to work. The Beaver isn't the national emblem for nothing. A WORLD FOOD CENSUS 'In '1930 the International Institute of Agri- The immediate purpose of this world survey is to determine the exact agricultural output of the world, the amount of arable land under cultivation and not under cultivation, and the amount of land that could be made arable by irrigation and fertilization. The ultimate pur- pose is to ascertain how long the food produc# tion can keep pace with the growth in popula- tion. In the last quarter century only thirty-seven countries have taken an agricultural census, and they represent less than half of the land area of the world and only about thirty per cent. of the population. Never in history has there been a comprehensive survey covering the production of the most important agricul- tural products in all of the countries wherein facilities for such a census exist or can be created. : Few needs are of importance equal to that of food, yet the/world has no idea what its actual food supply is, or what its potential food re- sources may be. In the absence of a world 5,000,000,000 human beings and indulged in like speculations and conjectures were merely guessing. When the census total is arrived at, it can be multiplied~by two or more to allow for in- creased food supplies to come in the future from improved agricultural methods, synthetic foods, new foods and new sources of food. And then before the statisticians and birth control advocates begin guessing how soon overpopula- tion. will bring humanity face to face with starvation let them compute the quantity of food now wasted through over-eating and otherwise.

This great crop is the product of a thinly settled region of more than 6,000,000 miles in ,area, As the unsettled spaces become sejtfed, pro- duction will of course ifi"rease; but not 80 rapidly as it has in recent years, for many of the older settlers are already turning to mixed farm- ing and stock-raising: However, as the greatest wheat-exporting country is sure to be maintained, for there is a region as yet almost untouched by cultiva- tion which is cap=ble of producing as much wheat as this year's total product of the whole Canadian wes!, That region is the Peace River country, several hundred miles north of Edmonton. It has an area of some 80,000 square miles; this s Canada's "last west." A Van- couver 'paper describes it as "'Can- ada's greatest hothouse," perhaps he most naturally fertile region uu the continent. It was up there that one of the settlers, Herman Trelle, grew the wheat which was award- ad first prize at the intermatiomal grain exhibition in Chicago. Ac sording to the Vancouver Sun, the 'onditions which make the Peace River country an ideal region for agricultural settlement are these. 1. Area of basin, 209 by 400 niles approximately half of which or 20,000,000 acres is highly adapi- ible for cereal crops. 2. The soil is rich; there are few stones, little muskeg and just 2nough timber for settlement pur- poses, 3. The entire area is low in al- titude--2,5600 feet and less. 4, The land has abundant pre- cipitation and great capacity for re- taining 'moisture, making the whole ountry one green garden, 5. Warm Japan current Pacific tempers the climate. 7. And most important of all, the Peace River summer is peerless --long sunny days, with only three or four hours' semi darkness. of the ~~ Only one thing is lacking wo ue rapid settlement of the region, and that is railway facilities. The pion- ger settlers who have gone in there are badly handicapped by the diffi- culty of getting their grain to mur- ket. Naturally, they are demand ing the construction of branch rau- ways. It may seem unfair to these men, who have djftextninedan" Mx nen, who have demonstrated productive capacity of the region, to delay railway" construction there; but that policy would seem to be in the interest of the whole Canadian west. Would it not be prudent to allow the Peace River cofintry to remain comparatively undeveloped intil the nearer wcit Was become filled up? Should it not be held in reserve? For when it is settled, Canada will have no other fertile region of virgin land to offer to 'mmigrants who seek to make a livihg "out of the soil.

"In Los Ange- 'es here may be seen a veritable myriad of these stickers, U.S.C. nuthern Brahh, Occidental, Loy- ola, Whittier, Pomona, California, Stanford, Oregon, Oregon Aggies-- all of these colleges and universi- ties are represented on our city streets.

RR Ke Police Chiefs Not Notified to En- force Law in All Centres The department of Highways has decided that sufficient time has al- ready been given for drivers of motor vehicles to have secured their licenses, so instructions have been fssued to the Chiefs of Police throughout Ontario to see that this section of the Act is now enforced. The circular, a copy of which has been received at the local police office, requests the officers to co- operate fully with the Department by the enforcement of the law in each municipality. A final warnin to operators of motor vehicles ap- peared in the préss a couple of days ago. : Attention is also called to the regulation which came into effect Oct. 1st, requiring all horse-drawn vehicles to carry lights. While prose- cutions may not be followed im- mediately under the act, it would be very inconvenient for a driver of a horse-drawn vehicle if he were in an_accident and did not have the lights required. by law. The light is to be carried on the left side of the vehicle and is to show white in front and red behind. A WINNING POLICY Great successes are rarely found- ed on luck.

NATIONS AGREED ON TANGIER 0 lteraational Sto Status of City Cannot Be Altered Paris, Oct. 11.--i"rance and Great Britain are agreed that the interna- tional status of Tangier cannot be altered and Spain is in accord with this decision, Sir Austen Chamber- lain, British Foreign Secretary, told newspapermen after a long talk with Foreign Minister Briand of France. This statement is taken in politi- 'al circles as meaning that Sir Aus. [ten told Premier Primo de Rivera | Auring their recent meeting in the | Mediterranean, that the Spanish claims to the exclusive administra- tion of the international city cannot be satisfied. The British Foreign Secretary said that he went over the "whole gamut »f international questions with M.

He made public two letters and issued a cov- ering statement bearing on some of Wilson's utterances which the war. time premier considered '"'a public duty to correct." One passage in the Wilson diary says Lloyd George considered the League of Nations 'rubbish' and another that Lloyd George was bent on the capture of Jerusalem "because the Welsh peonle would like it." Wilson's Armistice day entry in- cludes "dined with Lloyd George at 10 Downing Street also Winston (Churchill) and F. E. (Birkenhead). Lloyd George wants to shoot the Kaiser, P. N. agrees, Winston does not." : DENIES UTTERANCES ATTRIBUTED \TO HIM IN WILSON DIARY re em Lloyd George in his rejoinder to the diary made public two extreme- ly complimentary letters that Wil- son wrote him. The first was when Lloyd George had moved in Parlia- ment that a money grant be award- ed several generals, including Wil- son, and the second when Wilson was about to quit the War Office and enter upon a career in Parlia. ment.
