CANADA THE EMPIRE THE WORLD AT LARGE CANADA HIGHWAY MENACE The Department of lligliways lias announced itliat a nifclit patrol of main roads is to be cutabU-hed and that special attention wHI be given to cars with one hfadliRlit. Again and again there Jiavn been warnings of close surveillance along this and other lines. Yet the one. eyed auto, niohile continues to be met on the highways, people cuntinu,. to drive without permilK. trucks without the required' equipment, and other ve- iiicles with faulty brakes continue to be used. â€" Kingjion Whig-Standard A GOOD REPORTER The driving j)ower that produces a good repoiter must exist within him.

The busiest thoroughfares are to bo ciosed to horse-drawn trallic shortly.

The external trade of the Dominion, de- spite a slight recesion in June, was higher In July than a year ago and for the first six months of the year was four per cent, above the 1934 half-year record. Cold production in Uhe Dominion is reaching new high levels and ex- imnsion is being shown in several im- portant lines of the manufacturing Industry. The automobile output for the first six months is well above that of the 1934 period. An increase In trade wit)h the llritiah P:mpire is also noted, with corresiHjndIng advantage to Canadian pr<Klucers.

He will speak for a halt hour. Mr. Ben- nett Is scheduled to make three more radio addresses after Friday; on Mon- day, September 9, Wednesday, Sept. ember 11 and Saturday, September 14. All speeches will commence at nine o'clock, U.S.T. There is more or less an air ol tranquillity around Parliament Hill these days, about the sole activity being the odd session of Cabinet. Throughout the province of Ontario, however, nomination meetings are being held by all parties, and present indications are that there will be more men in tihe field at the general elec- tion on October 14 than there has been In some time. Of course, there is always the possibility of one or more candidates dropping out at the la-t minute in the various ridings, and consequently the field will nar. row down. However, scrutineers and tabulators are going to have one of the toughest Jobs they have ever had to handle. According to the list of executive positions to be tilled iu the new Bm. ploynient and Social Insurance Com. mission, there are a few Juicy plums to be picked. Salaries range from $4,000 to $6,000. As a result of publi. cation of the available positions In. tiuential per.-ons have been besieged with applicants. Whether or not it will do tiem any good is question- able, because it has been stated that no Civil Service Commission will have much to do with the selection of men for the commission's ottlces. In spite of the fact that the gov- ernment's Housing bill has been tJie target for some very scathing cri. ticism, the Finance Department last week issued a rei>ort to the effect that lending iuslilutlons were being swamped willi applicants for loans, and inquiries as to tho working of the act. It looks like all of fifty mil- lions of dollars will be involved by the time the scheme gets under way luoperly. About half of the applicants are from private individual â- ; who wish to build homes and the balance by contractors who intend to build for sale. United States niauutacturers, many of whom have established branch plants in Canada during the past tour years, still 'lav conlldence in I'lie future of Canada, anti are expres- sing intention of either adding to their Canailiaii plants or establishing new ones. Some United States intcr- esls have deliuitely stated that they want to establish branches or addi- tion In Canada in order to receive tlie benoflt of tho British Kiuplre pre- feri'iitial taiifl'. Canada is making trade conces- sions to two llominions, it was an. iiouiiced in governmental circles last week. Moat-favoured nation treatment, extended by order.=-in. council to New Zealand and Austral- ia, places t'he.se Dominions on the same footing as foreign countries to which Canada has given this con- cessionâ€"notably France. It means that the lowest treaty tariff Impos- ed on imports from countries outside Hie Winipiro will now bo applied to similar Import* from Australia and New Zealand. If that tariff is lower than the British preference or tthe Intermediate rate. In effect, it con- tinues to these British Dominions the advantages of the lowest rates es- tablished with other countries since the Ottawa agreements of 1932. While there is yet no confirmation, it has been rumoured that Earl Rowe," ex-member of Parliament for Uut-- ferin-Simcoe, and Omesime Gagnoa, former member for Dorchester, will' enter the Cabinet as ministers with, out portfolio. Both men have beea mentioned for cabinet posts for some time. It also seems to be a toss-up as to whether or not Lucien tJen- dron, K.C., noted Montreal lawyer, will be placed in the Cabinet. There has been some talk of his being ap. pointed solicitor-general to succeed Hon. Maurice Dupre who^ it is said, may be the next minister of marine.
