These were noble statements, nobly made. They showed a mutual appreciation on the part of the speakers of the contribution made by each nation to the winning of the war, and it would be well for the continued friendship of the nations which were allied in the war if they were made the basis of all discussions of a similar nature. In the selection of the Hon. R. B. Bennett by the Conservative convention at Winnipeg as the leader of the party, the delegates chose the logical man of the six whose names went to the ballot. To unite the forces of Gonservatism from coast to coast, it was necessary o find a man who could lay claim to a broad national viewpoint, and in this respect, Mr. Bennett is well qualiâ€" fied. Born in New Brunswick, he has the viewpoint of the maritime provinces. As a large manufacturer, he will meet with the favor of the protectionist elements of the party in Ontario and Quebec. Most of his business life has been spent in the west, so that he had acquired ‘ the western viewpoint on public and national questions. He is thus fitted in a large way for the problems of leadership of a national political party. Many remarkable testimonials to the efficacy of newspaper advertising have been given within recent weeks by prominent business excutives, but few have carried more weight than that given to the Association of Canadian Advertisers at its convention last wesek ty Alexander Mackenzie, sales manager for the Canadian National Carbon Company. Speaking on the subject, ‘"Newspapers as a Prirflary Medium," Mr. Mackenzie conâ€" tended ‘that the major portion of any advertising camâ€" aign should be carried on through the newspapers. He Mr. Bennett‘s wealth need not be a hindrance to him, but rather an asset, as a leader. It means that he should be able to devote his time and energies to the duties of his new office, in which he is just as much the servant of the people as if he were the premier, with out anxiety for his personal affairs. If he is willing to give up his large law practice in the west, and sever his connections with the large corporations in which he holds directorships. there is no reason why the Hon. R. B. Bennett should not make a strong leader for the Conservative party. has, been left, however, for, Premier Baldwin and Howard Savage, the retiring commander of the American Legion, at fl“he convention of that organization in Paris, to give a r!:freshinzvexpressig]’gs to“th’é part played _ by the Since the great war ended in 1918, no question has been productive of more acrimony than that of "Who won the war?"" Claims and Counterâ€"claims have been flung across the Atlantic, and the question was never settled to the satisfaction of any other than the most raB.id national partisians of the various allied nations. It mc d ic a ol ol w Peun P L P" Fo 154 & CE PT 8i J Tok The plan of Premier Ferguson to extend the courses at high schools and colleg‘ate institutes, so as to cull out from the ranks of university students many who . are unâ€" fit for university education, has much to commend it. It has been found that too large a percentage of university students fail to pass the first or second years, and drop out early in their courses, simply because they cannot meet the standards required in their examinations. This is a costly business for Ontario, for it has been calculated, according to the premier, that it costs $400 out of public funds for the provision of one year‘s education to each of these students, not taking into account the money which the students themselves, or their parents, have to expend.. This is a waste which might well be eliminated, and the proposal to have the first year of university work taken at the high schools or collegiate institutes will do much to reduce it. It is a fact that many students manage to secure just sufficient standing in their matriculation work to enter university, but fall hopelessly behind when they begin their studies at the higher institution of learning. If these can be eliminated by the teaching of the first year work at the secondary schools, then their time, their money, and the money of the people of the province will be saved. It is not desirable that barriers should be placed in the way of those who desire a university eduâ€" cation, and who are capable of acquiring it, but it is both desirable and advisable that those who are not fitted for it should be protected against themselves, and should be culled out in the earlier stages of their educational life.

These statements show that a serious problem is deâ€" veloping in the west as the resultâ€"of the large immigraâ€" tion of foreigners to that section of Canada. The largest proportion of the foreigners who come to this country, and the smallest proportion of British people, seem to go to the west, with the result that the foreign population is gradually outâ€"numbering those from British countries. This should give grave warning to the immigration authorities as to the wisdom of filling up the empty spaces with people from nonâ€"English races. In sparseâ€" ly settled districts, where educational facilities and comâ€" munity life is at a low ebb, these foreigners have little opportunity of acquiring a knowledge of the language and customs of this country, and are prone to build up in the west conditions which are not desirable. If Canâ€" ada is to fulfill its highest destiny as the great home of the British people on the American continent, then every effort should be made to secure a prepondrance of Briâ€" tishers in the immigration into the west. The hundreds of) thousands of Canadian radio fans will rejoice at the intimation that a strong effort is to be made at a forthcoming conference at Washington to s=â€" cure additional broadcasting channels for Canadian staâ€" tions. Some months ago a demand was made by Canada that twelve of the ninetyâ€"five broadcasting waveâ€"bands available on this be kept open for Canadian stations, but this was rejected by the United States Radio Commisâ€" sion, and, in spite of the development of radio in this country, the old allowance of six waveâ€"bands was reâ€" newed. The result is that in many sections of Canada, the. people of this country have to depend entirely on United States stations for their radio programs. â€"â€" (It is worthy of note that the Canadian broadcasting The outstanding feature of the discussion of immiâ€" gration problems by the recent meeting of the General Synod of the Church of England in Canada at Kingston was the statement made by the Rev. Canon Heeney reâ€" garding the invasion of the western provinces by forâ€" eigners. Canon Heeney stated that a private immigraâ€" tion agency has sold an average of one farm each day since last February, and that every one of these farms had been purchased by a foreigner. Supplementing this, Rural Dean Cousins of Dauphin, Manitoba, declared that the British born people in his district were being pracâ€" tically driven out by the foreignâ€"speaking peoples. The incident promises to provide a real test for the powers of mediation possessed by the League of Nations. It takes very little to inflame the people of the Balkan peninsula, and if relations between Jugoâ€"Slavia and Bulâ€" garia are broken off little more will be needed to force hostilities. . Balkan wars are apt to have farâ€"reaching consequences, and the League of Nations will justify its existence if it is successful in maintaining peace between the two countries affected. The murder of a Jugoâ€"Slavian general in Bulgaria is just such an incident, and it has once again threatened to throw the Balkans into turmoil. It can be placed on a par with the Assa@ssination at Serajevo in 1914, for it is being followed with somewhat the same type of conâ€" versations between Jugoâ€"Slavia and Bulgaria as were carried on by Austria and Serbia in July, 1914, and a grave view is taken of the situation. 8 For nearly twenty years the Balkan States have proâ€" vided Europe with crises which have brought about threats of war, and which have, on more than one occaâ€" sion, actually resulted in war. It will be recalled that t was a Balkan incident, the murder of an Austrian gran‘d duke while visiting Serbia, that precipitated the greatest war in all history. For this reason, more than usual attention is pa‘id to incidents tended to cause trouble in that part of the world. whllMley .ez u9(94 ..ave opéfiily taken over Canadian brog emz bands, and have drowned out programs comsng from stations in this country. The enactments of the Federal Radio Commission have recently improvâ€" ed the situation, but there is still much room for imâ€" provement. The many Canadian stations, crowded into six waveâ€"bands, cannot do themselves justice, nor can they effectively send their programs out in competition with many of the highâ€"powered stations to the south. The time has come when there must be an adjustment_. and Canadian radio fans are looking to the conference in Washington to give this country a measure of justice which it has long been seeking in the field of broadcastâ€" ing. did not suggest that newspapers only should be used for @dvertising, that there were some other effective media, but he insisted that newspapers should form the many cogs in any advertising campaign. 2 It is seldom that any business had given to it the large number, of unsolicited and outspoken commendaâ€" tions as have been given to newspaper advertising, such as that given by Mr. Mackenzie. This shows that busiâ€" ness men have become convinced by experience as to the best methods of promoting business growth. All progressive concerns are today in keen competition, and intensive effort is required to maintain sales and to build up business. That they are so strongly in favor of newsâ€" paper advert‘sing as a means of accomplishing this is proof positive that it has a value that cannot be secured from any other source.

It has been asserted, for instance, by a New York publication that "the poot sells wheat only when it is needed and extraordinary fluctuations in price are eliminated." But the pool holds nu such a command over wheat as that. On the contraryâ€"llike any private trader, it sells when it thinks it is best to sell and has been known even to buy iwheat in the open market to \s_np i?rt; tl,le‘p o s 3 :“l:b“ o d oi *f,,,,; : price paid by the consumer, through elimâ€" ination of the middleman." So far at all events, the wheat pool does not seem to have eliminated any middleâ€" men; what is has done is to transfer its selling business chiefly to an eleâ€" vator system and a central selling agency established iby itself; but it still uses and must continue to use grain marketing machinery controlled by private interests. The pool has simply transferred a great deal of its business from one set. of middlemen to a group of middlemen that it has created itself, and there seems to be no evidence so far to prove that the cost to the farmer of marketing wheat through the pool middlemen is any cheaper than the cost of marketing it through the machinery for_merly exâ€" isting. What the wheat pool does is to prevent individual farmers from marketing their grain in a hurry at a low price, ‘by reason lof its paying each farmer a certain proportion in cash at the time of delivery, and then assuming the future risk which the individual farmer often could not afâ€" ford to do, and consequently tihs preâ€" vents him from ‘becoming the victim of unscrupulous grain dealers and elevator operators who used formerly to rob the farmer. But it probably crimes. It has been proven again and again in Great Britain ad other counâ€" tries that even long sentences to priâ€" son are not equal in deterrent powâ€" er to the lash for crimes of that naâ€" ture.
