</\‘~ _ A writer in the current number of Conservation urges the necessity of &T‘i‘,gh'lc_t_ economy of fuel during the coming winter. It is suggested that con f‘r,"i.'cmers obtain substitutes, such as soft coal, wood, peat, etc., to as great an v‘{rfl extent as possible At the same time, efforts should be made to cut down act E\ ",.“"ul requirements of fuel to a minimum. It is quite needless in many inâ€" â€" ; stances for whole houses to be heated throughout the winter By comparaâ€" r ©@tveiy inexpensive changes in plumbing during the summer, rooms that are \/ dittle used or unused during the winter mionths, could have thei= hoating ap ~ "plhnoes arranged so as to be turned on or off at will. Or, if this be not \ feasible, radiators in sun rooms and unused attics could be carefully wrapped “fi“oo as to conserve heat, while preventing freezing of the radiators.

Wictory Loan has recently been issued by Sir Thomas White, Minister A plan for the stabilization of the price was arranged in January to deal with the conditions that might arise as a result of the placing of so an issue with so many who are unfamiliar with this class of investment. @ plan has been successful, as toâ€"day the issue stands well above cost and in liquidity is almost equal to the currency of the Dominion. â€"~ . At the commencement of the current year the provineial and municipe! w in prospect aggregated about sixty million dollars, and had it now ‘for the restraint exercised by the Dominion authorities, this would have on a market overâ€"shadowed by the four hundred million dollar Victory m. Under the regulations the various issues were permitted when condi #fons were favorable, with the result, as the Minister remarks, that they were *gradualily absorbed ...... without confusion or excessive penaily in the way of interest rates." " On the question of exchange, the Minister says:â€" â€"â€" _"Owing to many complex causes arising out of the war, and due part‘y Ao worldâ€"wide conditions, Canada‘s exchange with New York, which is the ‘great exchange centre of America, has been for some time past unfavorable. The rate against us has at times exceeded 2 per cent. It is to be pointed out that in this, with war conditions, there is nothing exceptional. Great Britain‘s exchange with the United States has for two or more years been at as high a discount, and exchange rates with neutral countries have, in the case both 0o: Great Britain and the United States, been at times unfavorable to the rate of even 30 per cent., and this upon an immense volume of purchases. Adverse exchange is not an unmixed evil to a country at war. Economically speaking. Jt is the natural corrective of national extravagance, and of unduly large "outside investment of funds needed for war issues at home." ® In a country supposed to possess millions of acres of good arable. land awaiting seftlement it would have been thought the Government would . have plenty and to spare for a homestead for every returned soldier who deâ€". sired it. The Dominion Government, has, however, been obliged to confess that there is not sufficient land available in western Canada to meet the preâ€" sent demands of returned soldiers so improvident have our governments been in connection with this greatest heritage of the Canadian people. Millions of acres of good prairie land, which should have been held in trust have been given away from time to time for a few pieces of silver, or some political favor. Young men who risked their lives in the battle for freedom and democracy must now bow down before Canada‘s autocratic land gamblers, and dicker and barter for a small parcel of land on which to build a home and make a living. A few Cansdian speculators, not un(rlendl} to former governments, mow control 2,118,230 acres of the most desirable uncultivated land in the Prairie Provinces, which they intend to sell only at their own price. Similar gentry, now living in the United States, have 1,246,200 acres more; and over 11,000,000 acres are in the hands of the Hudson‘s Bay Company and other corporations. Going a little further, the Minister might have revealed the ‘fact that within ten miles of railways now operating on the prairles, there are ©12,710,039 acres of alienated lands; within fifteen miles, 15,296,464 acres; "within twenty miles, 16,893,981 acres, and over twenty miles, 2,123,629 acres. : As the Saturday Night properly points out unless some drastle Federal acâ€" ~tion is taken in the way of expropriation, returned soldiers who wish to take .up farming will be forced to not only submit to the payment of an exorbitant "and unjust toll, but be called upon to pay a handsome war ‘tax, and numerous ‘other taxes, while a favored few continue to grow richer and richer at their Eneo on n en : I % The war has created, of course, great industries which will be temporary, *‘and whose operations will cease or be greatly diminished when peace returns. ~That will cause disturbance and temporary lack of employment, thinks the a{‘;'l'orolto Star Weey, but in the long run there must be greater prosperity @ from production than from destruction On this continent we are fortunate " having at our command vast regions of fertile land and abundance of maâ€" Eg'-&hl for industry of all kinds. Using these wisely our future is assured. Some instances of industrial changes due to war are referred to by the New York Post. During the American Civil War the withdrawal of men from Northern farms for the army led to the general adoption of the new agriculâ€" taral machinery just being perfectedâ€"the reaper, mower, and sulky plow. The ‘aimilar lack of manâ€"power now has led to the extraordinary employment of tractors and other motor machinery. The building of railways was a feature 6f the period after the Civil War. The present war has led to an enormous expansion of shipâ€"building. ‘The latter industry has also received an impetus rermene A un c hn es ie un enne We c e e e ietae en in Canada, and as all the material is found in abundance here we may that progress will be steady and rapid. “\“m statement respecting wm eog‘lmou following the issue is WATERLOO, ONT. . .
