Is II Significant?

d ERSONS inclined to be apprehensive may
y ascribe some significance TO the fact that.
for the first time since the outbreak of the
war, German and Austrian interests al an
enemy court are confded to another power
than the United States. When the German
and Austrian ambassadors left Rome they
tuned over their archives and property to
the care OF the am AMBASSADOR of Spain.
There may be additional significance in
the fact that Austria had determined 10 make
the United States her wartime representative
in Italy, but retreated frcm this position at
the suggestion OF her ally. Whether the

and the Canadian northwest produces
one of the leading staples. This is
wheat. British statesmen years back,
when they discussed in an academic
way the possibility of England engag-
ing in war. always spoke with conf
dence of the wheat supply which might
be obtained from the colonies Canada
usually was mentioned as one of the
sources upon which dependence could
be placed.
The first year Of the war. however,
the Canadian contribution was not es-
pecially significant. The surplus for
export was less by 100000 bushels
than it had been in the previous year.
The production of the three northwest
provinces, Manitoba. Saskatchewan
and Alberta. was approximately 49,
100000 bushels in 1914, as against 200.-
100000 in 1913. The bumper crop in
the United States was a means OF less

this shortage. The United States also

to some extent that of gold and silver
also.
England's action in placing an en-
barge upon copper was felt as severe
ly in British Columbia as in several
sections of the United States. Germany
had been taking part of the Brush
Columbia output of copper, and it was
charged that even after the embargo
was laid by Great Britain, the German
market received some Canadian copper,
but this did not last very long.
The copper production of British Co
lumbia approxmates SS0,o0o,000 an
nually. Restriction of production for
long period would therefore mean a
serious industrial depression. since this
would affect not only these mines, but
the coal mines and smelters as WELL
Recent reports have been to the eff
feet that the opportunity of Germany to
get copper from the British Columbia
mines by indirect means has been COM
pletely checked, and the copper produc-
erS have shared in the advance in price
due to the purchases of the bellIgerr
ents. So conditions in the mining in
dustry are now more normal, though
there is no boom.
British Columbia and the entire Cana
dian northwest are Stanchly loyal to
the empire in it's hour of tribulation.
Their contribution is both of men and
OF econimc resources.
The intense loyalty that pervades all
classes is shown best at Victoria, the
capital of the province.
