Vincent Massey, Canada’s min- swter of the United States im a speech _ before the American Peace Society, _ delivered at Cleveland. oe In conveying the greetings of Can- | ada, Mr. Massey said that he happen- ey ed to be the only representative of ' ‘British America present, and he might be permitted to add to Can- _ ada’s good wishes those of Newfound- _ Yand, the British West Indies and all Canada and the United States, said ae ‘Massey, had gone a long way to- wards a solutino of the problem of peaceful neighborliness. “We may point with some pride to. a tradition op tolerance and common _ sense in our dealings with each oth- er," he said. “It is true in our en- thusiastic moments we refer to our peaceful border in unrestrained imagery, but underneath our rhe- toric there is solid fact. No two na- _ fons ‘can point to an achievement _ Iike that of the international joint commission, which for fifteen years and more has been settling intricate and delicate questions in connection with the waters on our boundary line. It is a matter for deep satisfaction ‘that, to quote a recent learned author- ity, in a long list of cases there can be ‘yed, although it possesses no powers of police to enforce its or- ders. What a triumph in internation- al co-operation there is in this fact, that in all its cases this commission thas never divided along national lines, and only once was it divid- ed at all! We may well regard the work of this body as an impressive example as to how two neighboring nations, which are accustomed to trust each other, may deal with com- mon problems.” This principle of arbitration in thi countries in America which owe|Canadian-American relations has allegiance to the British crown. been embodied in the-policy of both i ne countries since the Jay-Greenville treaty of 1794, providing arbitration as a means of settling boundary dis- putes, Mr. Massey pointed out. principle then set up had been scru- | pulously observed ever since. The The Canadian minister expressed great faith in the practicability of the various peace movements now going on throughout the world. In spite of the sceptics, the road to peace was open. “More human bemgs are now bent on preventing wars; more people are thinking in terms of peace, than ever before. their energies to this end as they never have done in the past. Do we hear more of war? The fact is that We are more conscious of the cruelty and futility of war than ever hefore, ___ discovered no instances where dissat-| but there lies the hope that the con- _ Isfaction has arisen over the orders! sciousness of a disease is the first Governments are directing _ of this body.

Seeing Sights the World Over Possibly you have a friend who was a passenger on the round-the- world cruise of the Canadian Pacific Steamship “Empress of Australia.” If so, you have already. heard the stories of ports visited, and the strange sights witnessed. In clubs, homes, and lecture halls you will hear about where the passengers saw the largest Buddha in Japan, how the Whanpoo River, China, looks in the moonlight with its queer craft silently scurrying with unknown cargoes to and from various ports, while from the cabin comes the wailing of the Chinese flute. Then there is the spectacle of the mongoose in conflict with a huge cob- ra, a battle royal in which the form- er is always the victor, usually through his habit of securing a good hold with his mouth and crushing the head of the snake. Another interest- ing thing is to see the Hindoo with his flute charm a deadly poisonous snake, finally playing on the musical nerves of the reptile to such an ex- tent that he gradually sways from side to side in accompaniment to the Oriental music.

Greatest Aids To Agriculture Industry In Canada Has Received Most Benefit From Non-Farmers Agriculture's greatest aids in Can- ada during the last 50 or 70 years have come from men who have never farmed, J. H. Evans, deputy minister} of agriculture for Manitoba, told the Legislature recently. “A doctor who had never farmed learned in 1850 that wheat rust had different spores, and if these could be destroyed the fungus would be eliminated,” Mr. Evans said. Patholo- gists had been using that information as a basis for research ever since. Pasteur, the French chemist and Scientist, had brought immeasurable benefits through his “Pasteurization process,” evolved in 1857 to aid wine- makers whose products were spoiling. William Sanders, a druggist, had hybridized many brands of wheat to select the best and’ produce the grade known as Marquis. Mr. Evans asserted that it was not very encouraging to the farmers, af- ter years and much money spent to grow better seed and better stock, to, have to sell these products for a low price “dictated by the businessmen.” The Canadian Rocky Mountains consist geologically of the upturned edges of the strata underlying the Great Central Plain of North Amer- ice. Some men drop all of their money trying to pick up more. Mineral Springs Of Canada Spring Water With Curative Powers Occur In Many Parts Of Dominion The production in mineral waters in Canada in 1927 amounted to 303,- 529 gallons, valued at $14,686, and was derived from mineral springs lo- cated in Ontario and Quebec. Spring waters containing minerals in solu- tion, or as they are usually termed, mineral waters, oceur in many parts of the Dominion. Many of them are utilized commercially, both as potable waters and for bathing purposes. At several of the springs where the wa- ters have curative properties, hotels’ and sanitariums are operated. Some of the thermal springs are utilized principally for mineral baths. Shorthorn Cow With a Record U. A.

Tait McKenzie, of Philadelphia, and approved by the National Memorial “committee, sym-. bolizes the development of Canada. Four figures occupy the immedi- ate foreground. On the left is Canada, enthroned, her right hand on a shield: emblazoned with the arms of United Canada of today, her left outstretch- ed to receive the offerings of her chil-. dren. She wears a head dress with caribou antlers and the short chiton and sandals of Diana; a youthful girl- ish figure, the youngest of the Na- tions. The central figure is a small child, the Canadian of the future, stagger-- ing under the weight of the wheat sheaf he is bringing. Behind him and. partly supporting him is a stalwart. youth, the Canadian of the present, relinouishing his rifle and looking for- ward to Peace and Industry. Behind! him a young woman kneels and re- ceives his rifle with one hand and with. the other pours out from a basket the, fruits of the earth at Canada’s feet: The engineer is stepping down in- to the foreground with a theodolite- on his shoulder. At his heels come, in procession, the lumberman, with; his axe, and the fisherman with his. nets, established on both coasts be- fore the land was settled. Farther back at the side is seen @ group; a man, with a hunter's rifle, and a wo- man and child, standing among the- trees in front of the settler’s cabin. On the opposite side an Iroquoia In- dian’ lurks in the forest watching. them. The upright pine trunks form a; frame through which is seen the fig-- ure in low relief of Jacques Cartier on the deck of his ship, as he sails up the St. Lawrence, Kneeling behind’ him a Jesuit priest upholds the cross; @ reference to the religious character of the first settlement of Canada. The relief of the figures becomes: lower as the history recedes but the figures on the foreground stand out: boldly, almost in the’ round, The panel is about ten feet square: and is supported on a pedestal about three feet high on which the inscrip-- tion will be carved. There are approximately a millidh: and a quarter men and women of! Canadian birth resident in ihe United States. To give expression to their sentiments of pride in and devotion to their native land this memorial at Ottawa was proposed. The sixtieth anniversary of Confederation, cele- brated Jast year, provided a fitting. opportunity to present it. It will te- erected at a cost of $50,000, the. amount to be raised by popular sub- scription among Canadians residing: in the United States.

Men of that disposition soon learn if engaged in real affairs successfully,, that untruthfulness is a drag, like @: sult of clothes when in swimming.
