That conference is to be followed by others between the President and the heads of other nations. All are pre- liminary to the World Economic Conference to be held in London in June, ‘and the object of these many preliminary conferences is to find common ground of agreement so as to assure the success of the world gathering to follow. As Ramsay MacDonald said upon his arrival at New York, President Roosevelt. and himself, who, he believed, were in harmony of spirit regarding all great world causes, were getting together to explore the problems that have to be dealt with and endeavour to find formulas for their solution. That is, Ramsay MacDonald, a life-long advocate of peace between nations in the sense that there should not be physical warfare, is now striving with might and main to bring about peace between the nations in an economic sense, and to endeavour to overcome to the fullest extent possible, the economic damage done to the world as the result of the last Great War. In President Roosevelt he finds a man of the same spirit imbued with determination.’ At the time of writing, newspaper despatches from Washington indi- cate that, although the conferences between these two great leaders of the English-speaking world are not finally concluded, it is the universal belief that eventually satisfactory agreements have been reached on all the major problems, and common ground of action decided upon when the World Economic Conference assembles. Furthermore, that Great Britain and the United States will now unitedly endeavour to secure the acceptance of these views by other nations. It is stated that these world leaders believe they have found formulas for the solution of existing world problems and the ending of the depression which has affected the world for the past three or four years. _ These solu- tions it is frankly recognized cannot be brought about by any one nation, or even by two or three nations, betause the problems are international and world-wide in extent and in their application. It is further recognized that betterment of existing conditions cannot be achieved by solving one or two of universally recognized problems; rather that action must be taken in re- gard to a whole series of matters all more or less correlated to each other, with one interlocking into another. This is not to say that Premier and President have decided that the whole existing economic system of the -world must be replaced by some en- tirely new system. It does mean that they recognize the fact that, while | monetary systems, international finance, systems of exchange, war debts and reparations, tariffs, trade quotas and embargoes; production and distribu- tion of commodities of all kinds; world armaments, etc., all have a bearing and effect on the one great problem, the basic cause of the world’s troubles, and therefore the ultimate solution, is not to be found in any one of these things, but to a greater or lesser extent in all of them. They are not approaching world problems as theorists, but as practical men of, affairs, leaders of their people, world leaders of experience, deter- mined, as Ramsay MacDonald says,” to clear the obstacles which block the highways of trade, both within our own countries and between the nations, and so restore the hope of employment to the workless millions who look to earn their living in factory and field.” Therefore, to the extent. that existing monetary systems and interna- tional methods of finance and exchange present obstacles along the high- ways of trade they ‘must. be altered; not destroyed, but improved so as to facilitate greater freedom of exchange and render a maximum of service to the world. So, too, in regard to tariffs, quotas, embargoes, trade restrictions of all kinds. They are not seeking to bring about world free trade, which is _ presently impossible, put to encourage. and promote, rather than discourage and restrict, trade between nations without doing damage to the interests of any; in a word, to develop mutually advantageous reciprocal exchange of commodities. Likewise, to deal with war debts, reparations, armaments in the same spirit and in order to achieve a like result. War debts cannot all be cancelled, reparations. abandoned in toto, complete disarmament effected, put the obstacles erected by these things across the trade highways of the world can be largely removed. y Bringing the leading statesmen and heads of nations together in this spirit, and with such an object in view, is, we repeat, a momentous event in the world’s history. International conferences, world conferences, for the ex- change of, national views and the exposition of national needs for friendly examination ‘and discussion of opposing viewpoints, policies and interests, and approaching problems which are the concern of all in a conciliatory spirit, is the sane, sensible, businesslike and Christian attitude. It is con- structive, not destructive. It is practical, not impossibly Utopian. It offers hope of success, because it is not narrowly selfish but accords consideration and fair play to all.

Barr Colonists Celebrate Settlement In What Is Now Saskatoon From a mere hamlet on the banks of the South Saskatchewan River to a city of 45,000 population is the 30- year history of Saskatoon that has been celebrated by its benefactors of 1903, the Barr colonists. Nearly 2,000 Barr colonists settled in Saskatoon on April 17, 1903, in search of a new life in the pioneer West. Most of the colonists remained, others pushed on to what is now Lloydminster.

CIGARETTE TOBACCO SAVE THE POKER HANDS ‘| Dutch Indies Have Issued Stamps To Cannot Eliminate All . Advertising Over Radio real pleasure with a fine ’ Canadian System Must Compromise Opinion Of British Official Gladstone Murray, public. relations officer of the British Broadcasting Corporation, made’a spiritell ‘attack on opponents of public service broad- casting. Mr. Murray, who is spending several weeks in Canada as adviser to the Federal Broadcasting Com- mission, spoke to the Toronto Empire Club. While not suggesting United States radio programs at their best were in- ferior to those of Great Britain, the speaker insisted that program build- ing under the sponsored advertising principle was increasingly more diffi- cult than under the license system employed in the United Kingdom. He dealt particularly with the fin- ance of broadcasting, contending that, far from being a charge on public funds, it was, in fact, a potential source of substantial profit. “J have too much knowledge of my own country, Canada,” he continued, “to suggest that it should adopt a copy of the British or any other broadcasting service. Conditions here are so different that the B.B.C. could not be copied, even if that were de- sirable. “A vast area, @ comparatively small and scattered population—these are not the ‘conditions which, in these hard times ,admit the elimina- tion of advertising from broadcast- ing. It:seems to me that while the ideal everywhere should be the reduc- tion of advertising to a minimum, there is at present the necessity for compromise snd this as I understand it, is the policy of the Commission.” Given in only 5 complete sets of cool Virginia cigarette . sweet Virginia fragrance cuT Aiding Salvation Army Help Work The new charity stamps. of the Dutch Indies have attracted a great deal of interest, for they are the first stamps ever issued in aid of the Sal- vation Army. In Java and other re- mote parts of the Dutch Indies, the Salvation Army is largely responsible for the care and education of the na- tive children, the management of hos- pitals and work among the lepers. That is the reason why this great in- stitution is represented on these stamps. The Dutch’ name for Salvation Army is ‘Leger des Hells.” This ap- pears on each stamp and also the Salvation Army crest in the two low- er corners. The set consists of four stamps, and each stamp depicts the various handicraft that are taught the natives. The central subject of each design is in brown, and the re- mainder of the design in the follow- ing colors; Two-cent. violet; five-cent., sage-green; twelve and a half cents, rose, fifteen-cent., blue. Desisned Speed Engines Sir Henry Royce Of Auto Fame Dies . In England Sir Henry Royce, 70, of. West Wit- tering, England, whose brain was be- hind some of the world’s fastest auto- mobile and aeroplane engines, is dead after being bedridden for six months. He was a joint founder with C. S. Rolls of Rolls-Royce, Ltd., motor car and aeroplane engine builders, of Der- by and London, in 1907. He founded Royce, Ltd., mechanical and electrical engineers of Manches- ter, in-1884. When Rolls-Royce, Ltd., was formed he became its director and chief engineer. He designed the engines which Quite Out Of Date gained for Great Britain speed rec- ords on land, sea and air.

Without owning a square mile of territory on either of its shores, or. even possessing. one of its barren and inhospitable islands as a base, she has, for generations borne bur- bae, he has, for generation borne bur- dens there which no other nations has ever shouldered, except in the capac- ity. of Sovereign; she has undertaken duty without.dominion; she has kept and keeps the peace amongst people who never have: been and are not her subjects; she has policed waters over which she has no formal authority, and she has kept an open market in those distant. ports equally to all the merchants of the world. Translated Just For One How the history of Italian unity was translated and published in Braille just because a blind girl at Oxford University wanted to read it was told recently by the Archbishop of Canterbury, in London. Twenty- one volumes of Braille, he said, were made especially for her in nine months by two voluntary. subscribers to the society. Oath Of Atheist Legal Whether an atheist’s oath is worth anything on a court witness stand was the question placed before Judge Ernest A. Inglis in superior court at Hartford, Conn. James Guy, an artist, admitted he was an atheist, and coun- sel moved to throw out his testimony. Judge Inglis ruled that even an athe- ist can. swear to tell the truth and allowed Guy’s testimony to stand. Hubby—“You know, I don’t like all this metaphorical stuff.

This is just a bit of routine, but: it composes a perfect setting for the withered, tired face of the man within the limousine. For the face {s*that of Sir Basil Zaharoff, for more than a generation romanticized throughout the world for his mysterious financial ramifica- tions, and his amazing genius to sell armaments—to sell them on a big scale, to equip entire countries for war. He became a multi-millionaire. He always was an amazing figure, one of those European anomolies created out o fthe blood of many nations, with intrigue in his veins, aristo- cratic charm in his features, and at least ten languages on his tongue. But today, Sir Basil is just a tired, old man. Playing with the fates. of nations, of éntire populations, no longer has any fascination for him. That has become dull. His fortune estimated at about $175,000,000 no longer buys him any “thrills. He looks out from his car upon the lowly peasants, singing in the field, and no one knows what thoughts pass within his brain. The greater part of Monte Carlo belongs to him. But he doesn’t visit the gambling Casino, and disclaims any interest in it. He was born 84 years ago at. Odes- sa, South Russia, of Greek parents. He grew up to know ten languages when still a lad, and thus entered an armaments firm as an interpreter. Germany Training Troops Out Of 770,000 Men 282,000 Are Ready For Immediate Action Germany has at its disposal today 770,000 men trained for war, accord- ing to an estimate in the Czecho- slovakia newspaper Libove Noviny. Its figures follow: The Reichsweir ........ 100,000 The Navy ..... 15,000 Regular Police ... . 120,000 Auxiliary Police . . 45,000 Nazi Troopers ... . 430,000: : Stablheim «2.6.2... .e50% 60,000 Total 22.500 cece see's 770,000 Of these, the newspaper asserts, 282,000 are ready for immediate ac- tion and the others are being trained under high pressure. Special atten- tion, it is declared, is being paid in Germany to military aviation and successful attempts are being made to adapt commercial ’planes to mili- tary: purposes. Mansion Turned Into Flats — Former Home Of English Duke Cost Over Two Million Costly ducal mansion, once the home: of the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, is to be turned into resi- dential flats. Known as Sunderland House, Mayfair, it was built in 1895 at a cost of $2,500,000 by W. K. Van- derbilt, American millionaire, when his daughter Consuelo. married the Duke of Marlborough. The famous ballroom, eighty-nine feet by twenty, and twenty-seven feet high, is claim- ed to be the finest in Mayfair. It cost $250,000 and has marble pilasters, a painted ceiling, and a musicians’ gal- lery. It is recorded that 350 couples have danced there. The thirty-two bedrooms are to be divided into flats, ranging from single rooms for bach- elors to suites of four or‘five rooms. Royal Scot Arrives Coaches shining brightly under a protective covering of wax, the Royal Scot, Britain’s fastest express train, arrived at Montreal aboard the freighter “Beaverdale.” At the docks, a giant crane swung the cars from the ship’s deck to the rails alongside the wharf. The engine was in two parts and had to be assembled.

An early form of the Amy Johnson-legend has been published by the Rev. Father Lattey, a Jesuit priest, in the Times. Father Lattey derived his information from a Javan visitor to Heythrop College, Oxfordshire. ; Translated into modern English, the Amy Johnson legend in its pres- ent form runs somewhat as follows: “In a far-away kingdom lived a hus- band and his wife. They were im- mensely rich and they had one daugh- ter. They made her study under wise men so that she became very learned; but when she came home she did not understand household affairs, and she was scolded by her mother accord- | ingly. “Finally the. daughter became angry herself and ran away and went to a skilful plumber, and the two together made a machine with fire in- side to fly in the air. In this she cir- cled above her village and landed there to the great astonishment: of the people. “Her parents, though still angry, were. proud of her, and her father promised forgiveness if she could fly across. the sea and come back safely. So she had to. fly across the sea, and came to this island, by which time the fire inside the machine had gone out and she had to put in a.new fire. “Now she has still to cross one more sea, but if she succeeds and comes home again her father will give her much money and bud her a house with a roof of corrugated iron.” Answers Old Question Pressure Of Expanding Steam Causes Popcorn To Pop Why does popcorn pop? Perhaps every child has asked that question at some time or other. Sometimes parents are unable to answer the . question. The United States Depart- ment of Agriculture is authority for the statement that popcorn pops be- cause the moisture stored in the ker- nels of popcorn is converted into. ex- panding steam when the popcorn is heated. The internal pressure of the expanding steam within the kernels ‘causes the violent explosions which we commonly call popping: Noon Concerts For Workers Zlin, Czecho-Slovakia, famous for its large shoe factory, is enjoying con- certs for workers at noon.
