Denmark led KuTOiJe in this connection with 151.8, followed by Sweeden with 137.- 6. Canadians made almost seven limes more Ufc of the telephone than the Briti.sh who reported 33.0 calls per capita, the same figure as given by Oermnny and moiv than eleven times more than the people of France who made 20.5 calls pei- capita. With 21.02 telephones par 100 pop- ulation in cities of .W.OOO and over, Canada is .second in this retfard only to Sweden with 22.45. The United ' Slates ranks third with 19:52. ^ In rtKi'-lwaller towii.n and villages, Can- ,. ""^iada rt;tains third position with 7.90 d, lost, telephones per 100 inhabitants.

Strong governments are not good governments; a large and servile majority makes a govern- ment feel independent of the ijtople. Had the election of 1929 materially lessened the majority of the late Con- servative government the result would undoubtedly have been better so far as government was concerned and it would quite probably have led to a modification of the landslide on June I'jlh. The new Legislature has only one farmer, F. R. Oliver, and one Labor man, Sam Lawrence of Hamil- ton, in independent positions. Their work will be difficult but important since there is no doubt at all that only tho.se ontside the rigid discipline of parties are able to voice without restraint the needs of the people they represent. ,With monopolies to -he controlled, social services, particularly^ health, to be exteiided, hydro to be made available to all the people, and most important of all, the money sys- tem- to be changed, that it may serve the age of plenty, the 1.3gislature has much work t) do. I am personally glad that the deep- ly entrenched patronage .system ot the Conservatives will bo overthrown. That it will be supplanted by a Lib- eral ore, I have no doubt, nor any doubt either that after 20 years the new government would be as corrupt as the one just dethroned. Mr. and Mrs. A. E.
