June The action of Barrie Town Coun- cil in adopting special by-laws gov- erning the speed of motor cars in that town, and setting forth certain rules that must be followed by drivers, appears to be good business and a move in the right direction. toward protecting the publis against what has grown to be a nuisance-- the speed artist. We have our share of them in Midland and some regu- lations similar to those of Barrie will have to be adopted here in the very near future.

There appears to be a tendency among the Progressives to split up. Eight of their members have an- nounced their intention of quitting Robert Forke and organizing a little party of their own, to be known as an occupational group.

They signed up as postal lzelpers, but claim to have been assured that each one would be reinstated to his or her old position. Hon. Chas. Stewart, acting Post- master-General, states that the men returned to work unconditionally as postal workers and that no pay would be allowed for the time they were on strike. When conditions become normal again the staff will be re- organized, and, no doubt, many ef the men will lose their seniority. The postal clerks did not gain any- thing by the strike, but the business of the country was seriously hurt. A strike seldom ever does any good, but Government employees in par- ticuar cannot hope to force their fle- mands. If they could the Govern- ment had better quit. (l2lL(?.)

A R_ l.2I_E.:~_'3..21392.hL';i| During the last few months large numbers of those who had left Can- ada to- seek employment in the United States are returning. During the month of April over 4,000 who had resided across the line for six months or more have come back to Canada. It would appear that con- ditions in the United States are any- thing but good, and there is a gen- eral slump in business of all kinds. The reasons given are that the war shortage of automobiles and railroad equipment have been made up and the arrears of building construction are practically caught up. These three industries have been the back- bone of America's prosperity during the last three years. The return of Canadians to Canada and the com- ing of others from across the line will have a tendency to stabalize conditions here. Those who come back will be more contented and will liave an influence on the whole Dominion. 1 H11. \.AUjJl}. Q. 1.-What positions have been held by Mr. W. T. R.

The trade is There have been few speeches made in the House of Commons dur- ing the current session that deserves more consideration than that made by Hance J. Logan, M.P. for Cum- berland. His subject was the possi-I bilites of better trade relations be-' tween Canada and the West Indies. The fact is we have long neglected this important eld and in conse- quence the United States has gath- ered in the trade and incidentally the dollars that go with it. Canada has been buying considerable West India products, but mostly through United States sources. We are spending yearly in the United States markets some $100,000,000 for tropical pro- ducts, the great bulk of which are grown in the West Indies, and tran- shipped to us from the United States, while our trade with the West Indies last year amounted to only $55,000,- 000. In the same period Canada lost some $2,000,000 in exchange by purchasing West India. products through United States sources. The equal to Canada, buy products which Canada could supply, but do not. Thus Canadian steamships and Can- adian railways are losing trade which should be directed through Canadian ports if proper application of exist- ing and possible trade preferences were made. The Canadian Govern- ment has ships galore and these ships are losing money. If these were properly equipped with cold storage facilities they could be used in transporting` West Indies products and carrying Canadian products to the West Indies. This matter should there. The West Indies need our products and we need theirs, and Canada should not allow this valu- able market to go to the United States, as is now the case. I ,, ,,_,__ __....-.._._ Re W. T. R.

A Half the year is gone and still autoists have to take their bumps. Mr. A. A. Billingsley, manager of the Retail Merchants Credit Associa- tion, Forth Worth, Texas, and a bro- ther of Mr. J. E. Billingsley, Barrie, was the speaker at the Kiwak luncheon on Friday last. Mr. Bil- lingsley spoke on the Problems of a Credit Man. In Texas, and all over the United States, 60 per cent. of all business done is credit, and a credit men's association was neces- sary. lt was found that about 75 per cent. of the people who buy were good customers and could be de- pended upon to pay, while 25 per cent. were not good. The merchants were often between two res, not knowing who to trust. In Fort Worth the Credit Association was formed by the merchants, and every man is listed by the card system, so that every merchant can get full in- formation as to how a man pays his accounts. From these cards the his- tory of practically every citizen could be written. In Texas a man s wages cannot be g'arnisl:ed and his home cannot be seized for debt. It is, therefore, necessary for the mer- `chants to have some protection. Only about ve per cent. of the people cannot get "credit. The Credit Association acts as a collec- tor for the merchant and is very successful. In Texas a note is out- lawed in four years and an open ac- count in two years. The card system has been found to be of great assist- ance to the merchants. Qnun-n`I nnn:~+?nn.~ III/\\Ir\ n.-In-.1 lH .. KIWANIANS HEAR PROBLEM OF CREDIT ABLY DISCUSSED uu. 10:21] .`D'l3l.UU.

The fish catch of the world ap- proximates $1,000,000,000 a year in Its cost to the consumer, of which $780,000,000. goes to those who har- vest it, statistics furnished by the Ignited States Fish Commission de- care. Canada will soon be the mecca of l many moving pi-crure directors, ac- cording to Herbert Brenon, producer for Thomas Meighan, who recently arrived at Banff to film the big out.- door scenes for James Oliver Cur- wood s The Alaskan. The value of the tourist traffic to Canada is proved by figures sup- plied by the Parks Department of the Dominion Government, which show that the enormous sum of $136,000,000 was spent by tourists in this country in 1923. This rep- resents the Dominion s fourth larg- est source of foreign cash income. On her arrival at Quebec, June 14, the Canadian Pacific steamship Empress of France broke the rec- ord for the fastest time made be- tween that port and Southampton, England, from which she sailed, having maintained an average speed of over 19 knots. This vessel also holds the record for the run between Quebec and Liverpool. By a majority of 52 the original church bill as brought in by the church leaders passed in the House of Commons on Friday last. The clauses calling for legal process and two years delay were stripped from the bill and the original measure be- comes effective on June 10, 1925. Arrangements for the Pageant of Empire, to be held at the British Empire Exhibition July 21-August 30, are now rapidly completing. Episodes showing the history of Canada and the other Dominions as well as of the Mother Country from the earliest times to the present day are being organized with the assist- ance of prominent residents of the Dominion now in London. Hon. .1. E. Perrault, Minister of Colonization, Mines and Fisheries for the Province of Quebec, on his return from a recent extensive trip to the Temiscaming district of that province, stated that there were over 2.000 prospectors exploring the gold-fields of Quebec and at least a million dollars would be expended in development work in the region ` during the course of the season. According to figures prepared by the freight department of the Ca- nadian Pacific Railway, the export grain movement via Vancouver neached a total of 48,971,930 bushels on May 31. 1924, compared with a total of 17,387,715 bushels as on May 31, 1923. In each instance the figures cover the crop year com- mencing September 1st. The in- crease is therefore 31,584,215 bushels or 181.5 per cent. Enthusiastic celebrations took place at Vancouver and Victoria, B.C., when the special service squad- ron of the Royal Navy, headed by H.M.S. Hood, the largest warship in the world and flagship of the squadron, visited those places re- cently. The squadron is expected on the Atlantic seaboard in Aug- ust, when efforts will be made by Canadians on that coast to outdo the Pacific cities in the warmth of the welcome they extend. The an- ticipations are that thousands of visitors will gather at Quebec and elsewhere to demonstrate their af- fection for the officers and men of the eet. You may say that Canada is be- coming more and more interesting to Englishmen and before long ad- ditional English capital will be used here in the development of indus- tries. I am very optimistic and I believe that we are now progress- ing towards an era of unprecedented prosperity. What we need more than all now is the immigration of good men who will become an asset to this country," declared Sfr John Aird, President of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, on his return from Europe recently aboard the Canadian Pacific steamship Em- press of France."
