Paradox is quoted This photograph illustrates a novel type of smoke deflector now in use by the L.M.S. line in England.

A Lord Cecil is quoted as having said tliat the Disarmament (louferenco Is unlike any ever held before In the history of the world in aim and uni- versality. It embraces sixty nations whose representatives assemble for the purpose of abolishing war. On the face of It. this would seiMu hopeful. Yet Europe alone, according to the Year }3ook of the League of Nations, is siiending XltOO, 000.000 a year for war. Mr. Lloyd George has called at- tention to tlio fact that there are to- day. In the world, SO.OOO.OOO meu un- der arms, or Koine 10,000.000 more than before the World War. Military men know only too well the tragedy that confronts the world in another war. Thus Kield Marshal Lord Alien- by has said, "The next war will mean the complete end of civilization as we know It. Kverything and every one will be commandeered." We are confronted, then, by the paradox of greater preparatlon.s for pi'acp and giealer preparations for â- war than human history has ever yet known. What does it mean? Are the peace plans Insincere? There is no Kooil reason for supposing that they are, but every reason to believe that the rank and file of men. and rulers, and i'arliaments long for jHsace as â-  ever before.

German Fleet Parades In North and Baltic Seas Berlin. â€" Ciermany's "vest-pocket" flloet is being paraded in the North and Baltic Seas this summer for the odiflcation of bathers. The massing of her sea strength there may serve also as a reminder to neighboring; countries that, even though small, the fleet must be reckoned with. The parade is not an unusual af- fair, but extreme nationalists on both .sides of the Poli.sh-Gormaii and Lith- uanian-German borders have been delivering broadsides into the other camps and the fleet's presence may quiet this exchange. Accompanying the flagship Schlcs- wig Holstein are tv^•o ships of the line, four cruisers, four torpedo boat flotillas and a .squadron of mine sweepers. Trade With Russia soviet purchases of iudu.slrlal (â- (luipment in America are being held to the smallest possible minimum he- cause of the present lack of oflflcial relationship between the two coun- tries. Millions of dollars in Soviet orders probably would go to American busi- ness linns and industries if this situ- ation were overcome, The absence of normal relationship between the two great countries cannot but act as a deterrent to world recovery from the depression. Here is a chance for both the Unite* States and Russia to help the world, and in so doing they cannot hut help themselves. The people at home who seem least to appreciate this are the American workingmen. That is too bad, he- cause they are the ones who would he most beiiefltted. â€" Bv Col.

Next month, it is expected, work on the administration building in liunlap Park will be commenced. This building will be of stone, while the observatory building will be of metal. CLEAN PASTURES AND NO WORMS Prepare a few acres of land, near the farm yard, during August or early September, and sow to rye and vetch or wheat and vetch. This will give early green feed to the milking ewes and their lambs or to the brood .sows and their pigs, next spring. The ground having been plowed will be free on its surface or worm eggs or young worms, and therefore quite s.ife for the young animals. This early pasture will hedp out the usual feed shortage and also make it pos- sible to give the bluefra.ss pastures a ch;v«ee to got ahead. If the young animals have a worm fre<? pasture, there will not 'oc- any worm problem. Chinese Establish Bureaus To Test Public Opinion Nanking. â€" The executive yuan of the Nationalist Government has de- cided to establish so-called "Peolcs' Opinion Bureaus" in cities with more than 200,000 population. Each bureau will have 15 members. A census is being conducted in all cities at present, and after they have been completed the bureaus â- will be officially established. The members will study the criticisms submitted by the people concerning local and na- tional problems and will transfer them to the central authorities f jr further consideration and action.

Whol-js:ale prices have < declin-'d eight per cent., as compared w'th IH.tj per cent ;n the Aniericaa republic. These figures were for the month of March. From August 1st, 1931, to April 29th, 193'^ North Am- erica exported 24'2,169,O00 bushels of wheat. Of this, Canada contributed 189,854,784 bushels, or 78.4 per cent. Judging from the promise of this year's crop, Canada will continue to supply the bulk of the wheat exports from this continent. « * * * This American bureau commenU upon Canada's sound banlcing system and upon the healthy condition of our national finances. It notes that, with an estimated wealth of $32,000,000,000 the Dominion's total funded debt is $2,559,355,000. Slranere. as it may seem, the deficit for the last eleven months of the present fuscal year in the United States was $2,7O7,O00,O(>O, or greater than Canada's entire na- tional debt. On top of this the House of Representatives ha just voted a soldiers' bonus amounting ta $2,400,000,000, though it has been vetoed in the Senate. The success of the Canadian (Government in balancing its budget and in over- coming an adverse trade balance is commended, as is, also, the readiness with which Canadian income tax pay- ers have contributed $43,000,000 to the Federal treasury in Jess than two and a half months of the new fiscal y?ar. Of individual tax payers, 89 per cent, have remitted in full, waiving the privilege of instalment payments. * • • » Turning to the Canadian agricut- tt.ral situation, the bulletin from which we have quoted states: "There is good reason to believe that the agricultural situation in the Dominion is very promising for the new seasonâ€" - this being due not only to the prob- able benefit from the B'mpire Confer- ence, but also to favorable crop condi- tions throughout the country, while competing countries show indications of smaller yields than a year ag>" The bad condition of the United States wheal crop and the poor outlook for grain pixxiuction in Russia are spoken of as favorable to this country. Our surplus volume of whoat is down con- siderably, and there is every reason to feel that, with a considerably lower carry-over this season than last, our marketable grain will be sold at com- paratively favorable prices. The pre- diction is made that Western Canada will progress rapidly in the next few years, both in population and in farm production. * * « * The American authority which we have been quotin;; is optimistic over Canada's mining prospects. It points out that the Dominion is in ;^ fortun- ate position because of its constantly increasing gold production. "It is the' one major country in the world that can produce sufficient gold each year to cover its entire bank reserve re- quirements." In ten years its gold production i.s multiplied three times, and there is every reason to think that it will be doubled within the next five years. The output for 1932 will ua about $00,000,000. * * • « The writers of the bulletin say: "When we consider the sound positioa in which Canada stands today we caa- nol help feeling that th© added bene- fits of the Empire Conference are cer- t«in to result in the Dominion being one of the first countries in the world to lead the way out of this deprea.iion. .... All the factors that contribute toward prosfierity are at work in var- ious Canadian industries. The |)opu- lation is increasing; the finances of the people were never sounder; the year's crop promises to be one of the largest at a lime when the eropsi of other countries are reduced; mineral development continues on a lage scalp; aitt, most important of all, the peopI« are working hard to solve their prob- lems. They are backing their various governments with their cash and with a fine patriotic spirit."
