A gt; Convention urging upon the western Members of the government to stand firm for more adequate relief than the mere re- moval of the war tariff, was only to he expected in view of the strong feeling throughout Western Canada that the-gov- ernment should provide some measure of tariff reform. It is however, somewhat unexpected to find the vision of the Finan- ial Pos feet of clay of i following edito: a er-that has consistently advo reform, tout the po of help from this unexpected quarter. * The Globe has been trying since Parlia- fent niet to awaken members to the need or a -material measure of tariff reform sC. M.A. idol. In the al the Globe of Toronto, cated during the present-session, Fhe-sugges tion from the West of absolute free trade within a short period of time is impracti- eable. The revenue requirements of the eountry are such that eu dutie syielding many millions .of dollars yearly, are inescapable.

The numer combines in Canada sheltered under Cxcessive rates of duty. h riff which makes these combines possible should be swept away altogether. There is a possibility of help in this worl from an unexpected quarter.

As we have repeatedly pointed ont when urging a reorganization, the affairs of the C . M.A. have for years been in the hands of a picayune, pinheaded, self-satis- fied Toronto clique, under which an offen- ive, high-handed attitude toward the pub- Jie has prevailed.

The exchange of letters, pietures .and natural objects with schools in Great Britain, Aus- tralia, New. Zealand, South Africa, and other parts of the Empire, which has been somewhat retarded by the war, should be promoted with new vigor. It is an excellent method for fostering a knowledge of the v in ec tween Brit eountries by establishing p ) w ouncil of the League of the tars outhnng a system for giving every school in the Province an opportunity. for arranging-a correspondence-affiliation with other schools in Canada or dis parts of the s Empire.

So THE REAL PROBLEM. Lord Shaughnessy, chairman of the Ae ilway Company, in addressing a gather- ng of over five hundred officers of the pmpany recently, referred to the indus tuation both in Canada ond Great. He said that although nominally the real woblem is the status of the men who are erforming su Jarge portion of the vork .of building industries and making bor as strong an influence as the capital- is a question of what their social may take stion that the blediand sted, he and his wife and chil- They must not be con- ined to the narrow, sordid lives that cir- cumstances. lave made hitherto.

Ttis-diffieult to equal compound interest as a growth producer. As a sure thing it beats any get-rich-quick scheme ever de- vised. And yet there are comparatively few who realize its power. To do so it is necessary to take a pencil and do a little figuring. 25.cents invested daily in Thrift Stamps and exchanged for War Savings Stamps would, by January 1, 1929, enable a person to draw 1,152.62. Let the process be con- to lo i I wi a ot drawn. Continue it for 30 years and the amount would grow to 5,766.68. 0- New Zealand has issued a statement of foodstuffs shipped to Britain during the war, which includes butter in the season of 1917-18 to the value of 2,783,071, or approximately 13,000,000. .
