HENRY & COWAN Dunlap at Mulcaster Phone 31 Good hotel accommodation and suitable recreation and amusement will do more to attract tourists than anytliinp: else. In Barrie the hotel accommodation lias been wonderfully improved in the last year, but there is room for another good hotel yet, for the tourist season. A large boat plying from Barrie` would undoubted- ly be an added attraction for tour- ists and visitors in town. There are many interesting spots around Lake Simcoe and boat trips would prove popular, and we believe profitable for any one who will make the ven- ture of supplying it.

BOX 1011 examining Many residents in the East End of the town are objecting to the old High School grounds being used as a motor camp, on the grounds that many undesirables frequently stop at the camps. Perhaps suicient; thought had not been given the question before action was taken to` t up the place or a site somewhere else might have been chosen. The east enders have no riglzt to be sub- jected to annoyances or inconven-, ience on this account, and every part of the town should be considered alike. Barrie s police force is not strong: enough to have protection on the grounds all the time, and accord- ing" to evidence given before the: Town Council, such is needed. It mi_2'ht be well even yet to try and secure :1 site where citizens would not be bothered in any way. The postal workers of Toronto and other cities made a bad mistake when they went on strike, and evidently they must now suffer the conse- quences. There are too many un- employed at the present time and st(.-ady work, thoup;h the remunera- tion is not large, is worth consider- ing`. This is not a time for increas- intr salaries, but rather a time for rerlucim: the cost of livingx. The s_\'mpath_\` of the public is not with the postal clerks in this strike and consequently it was bound to fail. While the Government may not have exercised good judgrment in dealin}: with the request of_ the strikers, yet it holds the authority and can be in- dependent at the present time. What the public has to suffer in the way of inconvenience and loss of business, does not matter very much. Those who were misled by union leaders are the ones who will suffer most. A noted banker, referring` to the trials and difficulties of the present. says: We are in full possession of the knowledge of the depression which exists in our own country at this time, but when we take into consideration the fact that all class- es of people in our vast population are better off than they have ever been before, that they are livin_:: in more comfort and in possession of more advantages than previously, that unemployment is comparatively limited and is at striking variance with conditions that existed only two years ago, that the ;:urc:s of sav- ings bank deposits are sta;:';:'ei`iii_u`, and that in its own natural wealth and its enormous accumulation of visible wealth in the last ten year's. it is the most prosperous country on the face of the earth, not only to- day, but prospectively, we must he *moved to the conclusion that the ap- prehension which is so generally felt is a state of mind predicated upon sentiment rather than upon lo},-`ical grounds. The total assessment of the County` of Simcoe is $50,554,413, and at 7 mills on the dollar the amount raised will be $353,885. 1 VIVLA LA._.__~1.:..- _._:1I --._L_.:1__.L, !

The campers also had the use of Borlaml St., which formed the north boundary of the camping` grounds.

L__1_ n CANADA AND THE LAUSANNE` TREATY ` Business is good-if you get out in the morning and catch it before the other fellow. I Jun.-s an The Conservative leader took the common sense position that being bound by the treaty it was but rigrht, especially because of the new nation- al status that had been accorded Canada, that she should be consulted respecting: its terms. But Mackenzie King said : We were not asked to send a representative. To this Mr. Meighen s reply was : This is quite true, but we were not asked to send a representative to Paris or to the Washington Disarmament Conference either. But we insisted on being there, and tlze right was conceded. What is more, we also influenced the course of events there. This was unanswerable and Mackenzie King _did not attempt an answer. M1`. M@io`l\pn rlnvnlnnml 9 now {(110 not attempt Meighen developed a new thought that is bound to receive ;much attention. He pointed out that Great Britain is not distinctly a European country; she is rather a world empire with interest in the seven seas. Because of her vast in- terests it was quite possible that she might unconsciously make commit- ments which the outer Dominions could not endorse. He also pointed out that because of their extent, wealth and growing" importance the point of view of the Dominions should be consulted and it was in the interests of Great Britain that this should be done. 9 Tl1n A.....1,. 1 nnnnn rs:-\ An:.-..,. -..A_ snuulu 00 none. The An.r.-`lo-Japanese Alliance was a notable example of this. There is no doubt that Great Britain intend- ed to renew that alliance, but at the Imperial Conference Mr. Meighen pressed insistently the objections to sucl`. a course, and to the desiral)ilit_v of and for a broader basis of co- operation, inclusive of the United States, to insure settement of dif- culties and peace in the Pacic region. The result was that the al- liance was not renewed and the gen- eral agreement now is that this was. good policy. Here was an example of Canada exercising: her right to be consulted on matters of Imperial policy, and with good results. Sub- sequently Canada insistcd on being` represented at Washington, where Sir Robert Borden did excellent work in presenting; the Canadian point of Vl(`\V. VILEVV. In the Lausanne debate-Rt. Hon- ourable Arthur Meighen touched tlze spring: of the King Government s ac- tion when he said that the whole correspondence was permeated with a spirit of manifest reluctance on the part of Canada to do anything but rather to look for a cause of friction with Great Britain. He said that the attitude of the King` Govern- ment was this : Go and do as you like; if you get into trouble we will decide then \\'l`.21i: our course will be. This, he said, is the very course to pursue if we are looking` for trouble and est1'an;:en1ent. ``It is emphatically the wrong course if we are looking: for good will and co- operation. with in attractive illustrations and appropriate text.

There are large tracts of land in the County that are useless for vegeta-' tion of any kind, but would grow forests. It requires some vision to` see the advantages of reforesting these waste tracts, but the coming generations would benet greatly if such was done now. Even in the day of the present generation much benet would be derived.
