who was charged to get in touch with the general managers of the canadian press the australian associated press reuters and other executives of news agencies of the empire to see how the exchange situation could be improved not only with respecf to news coming from and going to great britain but also with regard to the exchange of news throughout the empire it was decid ed such interchange should not await improvement of the cabie situation but should start now and improve as cable facilities improved another point discussed he said wis the interchange of newspapermen in the empire the british section of the empire press union agreed to accept newspapermen fiom overseas as they are warranted by overseas sections placing them in london or the provinces for periods of six months to a year british dominions and possessions will submit to the section their willingness to recipro cate there was no intention of ac cepting simply anyone at all he said but a generous readiness to encour

pensions office ottawa windsor out june 1930 one oclock boomed out as we pass ed parliament buildings bound for vancouver and it made us feel al at lloyds this was the first real vacation trip in canada and one which we had promised ourselves be fore leaving britain a little over a year ago there was a thrill to it we were to have glimpse of great lakes to cross mighty rivers which had been nice geographical names to us to live with the rolling prairies to reach up to the stupendous rockies and to glissade down to vancouver we hoped and prayed that our trusty car would repay our faith in it and carry us worthily through the wonderland that is canada along the trails planned out on maps that carried its history of the land in their place names carleton place smiths falls and kingston dropped behind us and we started to run through the small delightful towns along the st law- renco as far as ottwa how cool and clean how green and beautiful ly wooded these towns are each one in turn tempted us to stop and go no farther but our purpose was not to rest and be content but to see a strip of the dominion and regret fully we flitted past on from oshawa the following day through toronto and out into the rich lush agricultural country that stretches through to windsor thj old country rose day and poppy day are two great institutions which if they do not link the various parts of the empire together do bring home to a person fairly new from britain how close the links are that tie the vast dominion to the tight little island windsor saw the end of the first chapter of our tour here we were to leave canada for a while and see something of the land of the great republic to the south we had not seen anything liko enough or the north american continent perhaps to justify the impression that leapt foremost in the mind nevertheless it came spontaneously and without premeditation that wind sor with its wide sunbathed streets with its dignified mediumheight buildings with its alexandra rose day was a not unworthy emblem of the british empire whilst the city of detroit with its towering tops across the river with its pall of smoke rising from its manifold in dustries

action and gooc condition appears true the english are prosperous and happy there is no grumbling about taxes in fact he said smiling they seem a model of character to the rest of us what a joy there is in place names the first day we passed through lombard true it is only a small township and not a large district packed with the storied towns of northern italy on the second day wo passed dizzily from melbourne to odessa and thence in turn through paris which provided us with a cup of tea and woodstock right into london their was quite a kick in being able to motor from paris to london and the latter city with its thames its westminster and its pic cadilly made us feel thoroughly at home on the third day other old country names accosted us but in the most jumblcdup manner pos sible that made us feel like alice in wonderland one moment we were at glencoe in scotland then we dropped into chatham on the south bank of the thames and by some mystical means ran across the wide stream of the thames into til- burg london schould have been be tween tilburg and windsor but it was not wo had left it far behind and we reached the city bearing the royal name in a blaze of sunshine to be met

impressed us most on this muchtravelled route first of all the hospitality and warm welcome accorded to us due in very great part it is pleasant to record and to remember to the fact that our accent bore the tang of the old country we were made welcome because we were obviously pretty- new to canada and every person we met was anxious to be courteous and kind to people from britain second ly we found ourselves somewhat mystified by the flow of new cars being trucked in the direction we were following and by the compen sating stream of new cars meeting us it was good to see this ebb and flow

church recrnciy reviews nineties mr gardiner refcred to the over population of eastern countries as one of the great dangers threatening the world the federal minister of agriculture reviewed conditions existing in tho late 90s and early part of the pre sent century and stated in that per iod there was more suffering and un employment than is being experienc ed today remedies were suggested but none was put into effect on gov ernment changed in form yet pros perity came back in the form of a great period of industrial economic and religious development then in 1912 he said something seemed to go wrong and it was later revealed that the depression started when the first letter was written in dicating that there were misunder standings between nations that might result in a world war the subsequent declaration of war caused a boost in wages and employment and every one except the men in the trenches got what they wanted the war ended and the old difficulties returned similar situation financial people the church and citizens generally put all their efforts into the reestablishing of prosperity but something happened again in 1929 and people again began to ask what was wrong with the world today said mr gardiner ther is the same threatening of another great war as existed in the nineties and the same efforts are being mada- by some of the nations of the world to bring about peace great britain is leading the way particularly in this direction i do not believe the human race is going backwards no man who has read his bible can be led by men and women who are

the past century and a sudden conclusion of this thing by rushing into arms as in 1914 eery- one in fact every person in canada who has the right to vote would choose the formre rather than the latter solution mr gardiner referred to the ex cessive population of italy germany india japan and other eastern coun tries it was not enough to condemn them because they sought other ter ritory for their people he said we as a people have got to carry into our international relationships the same doctrines and the same views as we have been trying to carry into the building of these two great countries on the north ameri can continent many peoples people from all over the world with different religions different laws and different literatures had come to make up canada and the us he pointed out and today in each coun try they were living unitedly under one flag and under one set of laws when peoples are hungry and massed together to such an extent that they cannot find life

christian faith is to make it pos sible for men and women to obtain the necessities of life without having to fight for them and we have to start years before the danger point comes must start now we have got to start immediate ly and we can only solve the prob lem by using the doctrine that goes right back to the foundation of reli gion and establishes in the minds of men the idea that being a
