GERMANY CALLED WEAK
Cramped by Armament as Can
ada Is by immigration.
fBy Cable TO The Tribune.

London, July 5.-The TWO weakest
spots in the world to-day are Germany
and Canada, says Colonel r. NJ.
Thcnrson, who is on his annual visit
to the British Isles.
What affects Germany" he declared.
huge scale and the vast amount Of the
increased standing army, which draws
so many individual units out Of the in
dustrial life of the nation. Its activi-
ties necessarily are seriously impaired
and are unable to expand. France is
a country with a huge amount of re-
serve capital and is constantly draw
ing more from Germany.
Canada is in a more serious condi-
ton than the world at large realizes.
immigration has been doomed so heav-
lily that the country now feels the
strain. Statistics show that every i'm
migrant costs the country $1,000 in
house, clothes, railways extension, new
towns and so on, and people are now
going so fast to Canada that the Do
minion is really hard pressed to get
money. Last year immigration cost
Canada the staggering sum of $780,
100000
These nations may be weak at pres
ent, but there is no reason for any one
to be afraid of conditions in America.
Uncertainty over tariff conditions has
naturally produced a temporary inter
ference with business and trade. but
that is nothing more than a state of
mind. People are holding on, and, once
the tariff bill is passed, readjustment is
bound to follow, because the American
is such an adaptable man. There is a
natural financial unrest all over the
world right now, but the United States
is by no means a weak spot"

STRATHCONA STILL HALE
Nonagenarian Peer Receives on
Dominion Day.
fBy cable 10 The tribune.

London, July 5,-That wonderful old
man. Lord Strathcona and Mount
Royal who is ninety-three, and, with
the exception of Lord Wemyss, the old
est peer of the realm, held d reception
at Queens Hall on Wednesday night
in honor Of Dominion Day. Hundreds
of Canadians attended the reception,
and Lord Strathcona shook hands with
almost everybody there. a trying ordeal
10 which he stood up in the most Vi
vacious fashion. He greeted the Con-
naughts affectionately and enthusiast
tically. In the prime of life Lord
Strathcona was a man Of remarkable
strength, energy and tenacity Of pur-
pose and still, in spite of his great age,
is an active man, though sometimes it
Is difficult TO understand him when he
is making a speech.
Another nonagenarian member of the
House Of Lords is the Duke Of Grafton
who was born in June, 1922, and who
succeeded his brother, the sixth duke,
in 1889.
