"Failure Is Unthinkable' History is in the making at Ottawa to- day and it is very apparent that the dele- gatés to the Imperial Conference, opened yesterday under such favorable auspices, are not going to waste very much time in the repetition of meaningless platitudes. Canada's Prime Minister, Hon. R. B. Bennett, set an excellent example as the first speaker to take the floor following the ceremonial proceedings when he made .a clear and concise statement of what this Dominion has to offer the other member nations of the British Empire and what she expects in return. Canada's offer, made through her Prime Minister, appears to have not been entire- ly unexpected the delegates from Great Britain and Australia immediately follow- ing Mr. Bennett with an assurance that his words would receive very careful consid- eration from every angle. The Prince of Wales, speaking some days ago in England, stressed his opinion when referring to the Conference that 'Failure is Unthinkable" and now that the sessions have commenced the truth of this thought seems apparent. Sir Henry Thornton Resigns The resignation: of Sir Henry Thornton from the poéition of President of the Cana- dian National Railways was, we believe, not a great surprise to any person who had intelligently studied recent press reports regarding expenditures in connection with the administration of this great national transportation system. So far as we know there has never been any criticism of Sir Henry's efficiency as an expert in matters pertaining to his of- fice. There has, however, been something louder than a mere whisper that extravag- ance was permitted to creep in during his administration. Where the fault lay, whether it was with the retiring president himself or through lack of watchfulness on the part of the Board of Directors, does not seem to have been made absolutely clear. Sir Henry Thornton was undoubtedly popular during the years that. he spent in Canada and while the acceptance of his resignation may appear to have been a wise step during the present period, when all in- dustrial organizations are exercising the strictest economy, he has undoubtedly made many friends in this Dominion who will wish him, as we do, the best of luck in any new venture which he may under- take. : The Juggernaut: The juggernaut of the motorcar in the hands of those who do not or cannot con- trol it was depicted by Hon. Leopold Ma- caulay as equivalent to an earthquake which would strike a town the size of Pem- 'broke, injure thousands, kill 600 people and cause hundreds of thousands of dollars of loss to property. That is an unhappy phase of motor life. Gasps of horror would be heard should a town of nine thousand people in Ontario be shaken by earth tremors and as many , people die and be injured as were killed and injured in Ontario last year. Yet an earthquake is not controllable while it seems that motor accidents are controllable except in a few cases. While man has a natural fear of the elemental forces, does it not seem strange that it is not more horrible to contemplate the steady insistent snatching of life on the highways day after day by man-driven 'power, than what cannot be controlled? Is death day by day less to be shunned than .death in a holocaust? One is more likely 'to be struck by a motorcar than be a vic- tim of a quake. Quake deaths need bring no shame to man; deaths on highways indicate some- thing wrong with either the attitude of the public or of the individuals who make up the public. Motors should be driven so that accidents are practically eliminated, although it is admitted that the human equation which enters in accidents may mecount for a number which may almost be called unavoidable such as where judg- ment fails. And yet even here undoubtedly the driving. ought to be so careful that there is no cause for error of judgment. -- Brockville Recorder and Times, In The Rush And Hutry : In the rush and hurry of life do we think as much as we might of the happi- ness of those who are growing old. They have lost so much! Their youth, often their health, most of the friends and come panions who started with them on life's journey, and yet we often grudge from the brightness and joy we might so easily put into their lives, We will not stay to hear the recollections of old and happy days of which they love to tell us; we let them see so plainly that their days are over, and ours have come! That those who have borne the burden and heat of the day, toiled and struggled and worn themselves out for others, should be left to feel lonely and neglected is sorrowful. We can and ought, each and all, in our own place and way, do something. to bring the glow of summer and remembrance of the days of roses and love into the lives fast nearing their win- ter and their end.--Essex Free Press, Editorial "Tenderness accompanies all the might imparted by Spirit."--Mary Baker Eddy. Notes "Gentleness and affability conquer at last." --Terence.

The relation of a self-respect ing newspaper to the wzeneral public is not always understood. It is the duty of a newspaper to be in a position to support any good act and 'criticize any bad act of public policy. This relationship cannot exist where favors are asked and granted. Honesty is the only policy for a newspaper. If objectors don't like the way things are going, they should qualify as voters, and then raise cain about it, NO LESS AN OBLIGATION (Toronto Globe) The average veteran who answered his country's call in wartime does not want the country to as- sume any unfair financial burden. But no hon- orable Canadian will claim that fair pensions pay- ments, in compensation for actual war injuries, are any less a national obligation than the interest or principal of Victory bonds. The men who sacrificed their bodies in national service are entitled to as much consideration as those who loaned their money. BITS OF HUMOR A MYSTERY Lodger--"Do you butter my bread yourself?"

" y A city without any definite program for the future is out of luck, Due, no doubt, to the general depression, the bike is more often seen as a means of transport around town, There is much to be said in favor of the bicycle. It costs nothing to run, is easy to keep in order, and makes practically no demands on stor- age space, To the cyclist its ad- vantages are obvious, but what of the pedestrian? He has ac- quired a motor car sense, not a bicycle sense. The fact that a bicycle, not a motor car, knocked him down would not weigh much with him. 'While no one grudges the cyclists their "mounts," it would do much good it the police would {issue a friendly warning against the hab- it of riding three or four abreast and taking up all the street. This practice is unnecessary and but garves to increase the dangers of the road.

Ottawa, July 22--The previous ar- ticle in this series was devoted to the need for a more careful and ex- plicit discrimination, in the tariff schedules, between those grades and varieties of articles which it is decided can economically be pro- duced in Canada and those grades and varieties of the same articles which it is decided should be pro- cyred from other parts of the Em- pire . . , .» This discrimination is also necessary, because the proper development of the Imperial Prefer- ence idea involves the largest pos- sible freedom of movement between Empire countries compatilge, with economig interests of each country, When these discriminations have been madc they should be followed by the complete elimination from existing methods of tariff enforce- ment of all devices which are in themselves obstructive to import trade, insofar as they relate to ar- ticles of a class, kind, grade and variety which we are willing to ac- cet from the Empire. Only those who are familiar with the agtual processes of importation --and these are in any event so la- borious, cumbersome and annoying that the averaze citizen scrupulously avoids having anything to so with them--know how efficient is the barrier to trade set up not by the duties themselves but by the regu- lations for their enforcement, Most serious among these in its deterrent effect upon import trade from the countries of the British Empire is that by which the customs depart- ment is entitled to alter without no- tice the whole basis of valuation of imported goods for pur- poses without regard to the actual price paid for them by the import- er. This device operates much more effectively against Empire trade than against importations from the United States; for the ncarest of the Empire countries is several days away from Canada while the United States is at our doors, and therefore a much longer time elapses between the booking of the order and the clearing of the jo0o0ds; increasing the risk of an unfavor- able turn in the rate of valuation. The amount of documentation re- quired in connection with the im- portation of many classes of manu- factured articles is very great, fres quently involving a detailed analy- customs sis of the component parts of a mixed product, of the elements of costs contained in it, and of other factors about which it may be dif- ficult for the importer to secure in- formation, = Insofar as they) apply to articles of a kind or grade not made in Canada, these requirements are merely so many obstructions to a desirable exchange of products between the countries of the Em- pire .ca.. It is surely clear that any move- ment of trade which is accepted as desirable under the principles de- scribed in earlier articles of this series should be freed from all ham- pering restrictions, The imposition of a moderate tariff is obviously justified, and it is equally obvious that Empire imports must be scrut- inized at the customs to make sure that they actually come from Em- pire sources, that they contain the requisite percentage of Empire la- bor and material, and that they be- long to the class and grade of good which it has been decided to favor. But all impediments which go be- yond these simple and necessary perquisites of duties should be el- iminated i, the case of Empire pro- ducts, TEMPERANCE UNION 13 IN DILEMMA High and Dry W.C.T.U.

Much of the coastal trade is carried in for- eign bottoms, and the customs department will be asked to in- voke new restrictions. Following is an excerpt from the Daily News report: "Complying with the recent request of the council, the traffic committee has considered the matter of foreign steamers freighting and trading on the Newfoundland coast. At the pres- ent time foreign steamers are permitted to land cargo at various ports and also to take freight from port to port without any re- striction. The committee, in con- sidering this matter, was of the opinion that Canadian regula- tions if put into effect here would cover what is required. Foreign steamers must be permitted to discharge cargo at two or more ports and to load cargo for for- eign ports, but this should come under the customs regulations outlined in section 5 of the Can- adian regulations. Members of the trade have on various occa- sfons asked that the board of trade endeavor to do something to remove the unfair competition of foreign steamers freighting and trading on the Newfound- land coast." Here is section five of the Can- adian regulations, referred to in the report: "When vessels brin passengers from a fo consigned to more than Can- adian port, the masters of such vessels must make a full report of the whole contents at the first port of entry and distinguish therein the items to be there landed and the ports at which all items are to be landed. Such re- port must be made in duplicate, with an additional copy for each succeeding port at which there are goods to be landed; and the collector or proper officer of cus- toms shall mark each {item in such report with the emtry num- ber, if entered, and in case of any item landed and placed in suffer- cargo or *port far, to join whole-heartedly in a third party movement, MN > 0) 4; paid on deposits-- subject to withdrawal eque.
