cause they depended largely upon
the United States for a market for
their products and for transporta
ton facilities, and they have feared,
perhaps unnecessarily, that prefer
ence to Canada would invite retalia-
ton by the United States. Jamaica
now supplies something like 17,000,-
900 bundles Of bananas annually to-
the United States market, and, nat
urally, is anxious not to offend it's
rich customer.
Ordinary commercial treaties at
best are of uncertain life and the
suggestion of ratification by the
British Parliament has been put
forward to overcome this objec
ton and to afford to the British
West Indies such assurance Of a
permanent market in Canada, in
stead of one of indefinite duration,
as would justify them in mourning
whatever risk there may be Of an
tagonizing powerful interests in the
United States. This plan has as it's
principal exponent in Canada r. 3.
Macaulay, Of Montreal, president
Of the Sun Life Assurance Company
of Canada, and also president of the
Canadian-W West Indian League. Mr..
Macaulay processes to see almost
insuperable objections to a political
union, and has said that "thc idea
that Il Canadian federal election
might turn on the vote of the Brit
ish West Indies would be equally as
as the controlling Of West
Indian affairs by Canadian major
ity."
The political union project, on the
other hand, has a strong advocate in
the person of H. j. Grove, a Cana
dian cosmopolite of means, business
associate Of Baron Beaverbrook, and
the man who had much to do with
the negotiations leading up to the
foundation Of the Harmsworth en-
terprises in Newfoundland Mr..
Grove has spent much time in recent
years in the West Indies, and has
done much to educate the peo-
pie of Canada and those of the West
Indies to the dcsirablty of closer
relations for their mutual advan-
tagc. He makes out plausible
case for political union, urging the
inclusion of Newfoundland, as well,
in a Greater Canada Confederation.
His programme has met with en-
couragcment in the United King
dom, and also in Canada and in the
West Indies, and he has been gain
ing some newspaper support. He is
his efforts, believing that
nothing short of actual political union
could provide such permanence for
closer trade relations as is necessary
to attract Canadian, British and for
elgn capital and to promote the full
development of the colonies.

In general it may be said that
the West Indian colonies have bene-
fitted more than has Canada from the
reciprocity agreement of 1912. The
following figures show that, until the
fiscal year 1916-'17, Canada's ex-
ports to the West Indies proper
showed no perceptible gain, while
imports from those colonies were
largely increased:

DAMPNESS is HARD ON TIRES
Rapid Disintegration--Goo Roads
Are Favored.

Wet weather is very destructive to
tires that are partly worn out. The
average motorist is apt to think of his
tires as being made only of rubber,
and therefore waterproof.
A partly worn tire is a long ways
from being waterproof, however, and
the other materials that enter into
its construction are decidedly subject
to damage from water. When water
gets inside the breaker strip of tire
and into the fabric and friction gum,
it causes rapid disintegration. One
reason why our good roads make tires
last longer Is that they dry quickly
after rain. About the only good thing
that can be said for our dry winter is
the fact that tires last longer.

as far as possible to suggest improve

freight is hauled by the farmer who

agencies that operate transportation

Extent Of the terrorist plot involving the

There may be some significance in the re-
ported similarity of construction between these
bombs and the mines sown by German sub
marines near the American coast Certainly it
will not be hard to convince people that the

facture, at least were of German design.
