Prosperity Says Packer

These were some of the points
made by ]. Ogden Armour in an in

CANADIAN LAND TO PAY DEBT.

london. Jan. Co.'s Canada willing
to see 100000 acres of land in Al
berta. Saskatchewan, Manitoba. and
British Columbia developed forthwith
by British state money to provide the
means OF paying off the empires war
debt?
This stupendous proposition was
Yesterday put before the public by q
newly formed empire resources com
nlittee. OF which Earl Gray, Lord Des-
borough, Lord Plymouth, Lord Sell
borne, Rudyard Kpling. Horace Plum
kett Sir Starr Jameson, Col Grant
Morden and Morton Frewen are mem-
bers.
Lord Miner gives the scheme his
blessing, and would be president but
for his membership in the war cabi-
net.
The memorandum Of the committee
suggests that an imperial board be
formed to arrange with the Dominion
Of Canada Tor the purchase OF s,000,o00
acres Of arabic lind an Alberta, Sas-
katchewan. Manitoba. and British Co
lumbia, for, say, $200,000,000, paid by
England at the rate Of 100000 600 year

government spends the whole capital
in the immediate development Of her
lands.
1t is believed that the value Of these

speedily reach 800 per acre, or alto
gether the empire would receive in
cash $4,000, 900, 900. which is the value
OF its debts for the war or pre-war.
The committee realizes that this and

dominions, which they say are pending.
Meanwhile the committee Is pro-
cedeing with suggestions affecting the

firm undertone today, altho, there was
enough scaled liquidation to carry the
May to new levels on the present
downturn. The deferred deliveries
particularly the July, were stronger
than the May and the differences mar
rowed around % cents, against 81
cents not long ago. There was evi7
dence Of seaboard buying today for the
first time in more than two weeks, and
export business yesterday is now esti-
mated at around 100000 bushels OF
wheat.
