GERMANS TRYING TO

dependence. efforts of the Chinese
press to force the conclusion that the
United States participated in the Chi
nese currency loan was intended to
lessen Japan's influence, was de-
nounced by the Japan Times as like
characteristic German nonsense" The
Times points out that it was Japan
which used its influence to obtain
Americas participation in the loan.
The Times also asserts that invest-
cations so far made by the Imperial
Government reveal no ground for the
rumors that the American govern
ment is trying to buy from Russia the
peninsula of Kamchatka or for the
reports of American ambitions for de-
velopment in Siberia or Saghalien. 1t
is suggested that these rumors, per-
sistently circulated, are of German
origin.

W0BDLIES ARE CAUSING
CANADIANS TROUBLE
MAY IMPORT LABOR

Toronto-While Canada has already
sent 100000 men. or SCI of her s.
100000 population. to fight for the
mother country, and is planning by
her CONSUMPTION act. to increase that
number by many thousands more. she
is exerting strong arm at home
that occur internationally throughout
her land inspired by German propa-
ganda and the l. w. w.
Canada has been denuded of its
uost efficient workers and in every
industrial and commercial activity of
the country there is deplorable short
age of labor. Slackers and alien la
Dor elements, secretly inspired by the
Hun propaganda, have taken advan-
tage of this situation to demand wages
little short of blackmail. Swede and
Norwegian fishermen on the Pacific
coast are extorting $40 day and ra-
tions from owners of fishing boats
and these Scandinavian profiteers
won't allow Japs to work in these
boats and won't permit non-union men
to be employed.
AT the Drumheller coal mines in
Alberta where 1000 tons, the daily
output, wages range from So to $22
a day. Eighty per cent of the min
ers are Swedes, Firms, Slavs, Norwe-
gians and Italians, 20ef are Canadians
or Britishers of socialistic tendencies.
Taking advantage of the absence of
100000 Canadian sons of the firing
lines. these labor profiteers are ex-
torting wages which have worked
frightful hardships on families Of men
fighting and dying in Europe.
The Canadian railways are them
selves being swamped by demands
of organized labor and costs of the
commodities which they buy. Their
rates are fixed as firmly as the ada
mant laws of the Modes and Persians
and they are slowly being driven on
the shoals of bankruptcy.
1t is felt today in Canada that the
end of the war is far away and that
il will not be won until the total re-
sources of the allied nations are mo-
bilized and organized for victory Two

of Canada aided by Ford tractors
could add 100000 bushels of wheat
to the food supplies of the allies next
year. Far-seeing men in Canada be-
lieve this move will eventually be
made.
The socialist and alien labor ele-
ments which extort confiscatory
wages do not care jot whether the
war is won or lost, provided they get
away with their plumber. They want
no Japs or Mcngolians to enter their
preserves and cut down their profits.
The Huns know that France has been
saved SO far by the Africans and Or
ientals who have been carried half
way round the world to cultivate the
fields of France and run industries
in place of the gallant Frenchmen on
the firing line. Japs and Chinese are
in much deeper sympathy with the al
lies than the Swedes, Norwegians and
Austrians opposing the lowering of
the bars to let them into the United
States and Canada.
The Canadian people in general are
not antagonistic to CONSUMPTION, but
their view is If there is to be con-
scription, let there be CONSUMPTION all
around"

Bonds at Ridiculous Prices.

Investment bankers state that the

ing In this country are for the most
part going at ridiculous prices Here is
an expression of a leading bond broker:
Il do not believe that the big belliger-
ent countries are nearly impoverished
or bankrupt. The belligerents will vie
with each other when peace comes to
keep their credit at a high mark.
believe that the credit of the British
government is as good as gold but i
am not shortsighted. l would rather
buy the German war notes than the
British because they are selling much
lower and ] believe they are also as
good as gold. You will see the public
flock to snatch up the cheap foreign
government issues. 1t is plain to me
that the people of Canada and South
America will take them up IL we Ameri-
cans do not
