MARRIAGES FALL OFF.
High Cost OF Living Is Blamed in
Montreal.

Montreal.
Special Correspondence to, the Canadian
Section Of THE SUN.
MONTREAL, Aug. 11.-People In this
city are not getting married anything
like as rapidly as they used to- The
marriage rate per 1000 of population
has made the rather startling drop from
1128 in 1912 to 7.43 IN 1913.
Nor is the war 70 be wholly blamed
for this unsatisfactory state OF af-
fairs, as the .stdr OF this city points out
Very striking proof has been adduced
here and elsewhere that a serious handi-
cap TO the marriage tie is traceable to
the high cost of living. The fact that
II is quite customary now for the
women to earn their living also in
fiuences the problem, v..ai.
A decreasing marriage and birth rate
caused concern In France long before
the war, and II has been enormously
accumulated by the great conflict No
more important subject Is before the
French people now than that of 30
altering conditions that the marriage
rate will materially increase.
The Montreal Medical Health Ofiicer
states that the birth rate OF this city
has one OF the heaviest infant mortality
rates on this continent. The combina-
ton of these circumstances Is not prom
Using for this city.
While the problem OF increasing the
Montreal marriage rate Is undoubtedly
hedged about with. difficulties hard 10
surmount. the same cannot be said
about the heavy child mortality. Other
cities have proved Tat 1t Is possible
to reduce the deaths among children
by fully so per cent.

The figures show that an average of
1852 persons came annually from the
United States to Canada in those years
Against this exodus 344,0e3 Canadiant
settled in the United States from 1914
to 1918. according to the United States
Commissioner-Genera of immigration
This is an average of more than $4,000
year. What per cent. of the Canadians
became farmers in the United States Is
not known. The Canadian Superinten-
dent Of Immigration said in 1908 that
about 10000 farmers per year for the
last Ave years have proceeded from
Canada to the United States"
So. according to the figures. the
United States seems to have the better
NJ It in the interchange OF population
Moreover, since land costs more on the
United States side of the border the In.
ference Is that more wealth goes into
that country from Canada than comes
into Canada from the United States.
There Is one interesting point uncon-
nected with the figures. Whatever
builds up population for Canada and de-
velops its resources makes for the pros
perity of the United States. Canada ID
one OF Uncle Sans best customers.

PREDICT FIRM WHEAT PRICE.
Government Guarantee Not Ex-
pected to Result in Loss.


Special Correspondence to the Canadian
Section Of THE SUN.
MONTREAL, Aug. 11.-Grain men here
are reluctant to form any estimate of
the consequences OF the Government S
decision to guarantee a minimum price
for wheat to the farmer. A. p.
Stuart president of the British Empire
Grain Company. Limited. who recently
returned from a trip to England to dis
'uss the wheat situation with experts
and officials there, and who was n chief
mover In procuring the short lived OPEN
Ing of the wheat market in Canada, said
to THE SUN correspondent that while
1t was impossible to make predictions
with any certainty, he believed that the
price of wheat wound stand UP pretty
firmly and that the Government would
probably not have to face any serious
loss. Not long ago, however, he would
have held that the present price was too
high and 1t was still possible that the
crop might turn out better than now ex-
pected and hat both che United States
and the Canadian Governments would
have to take a loss.
This might not be a serious matter
for the American Government which is
extremely well on said Mr.. Stuart.
but an important drop in the price
would be a very serious affair for our
Government and for the people Of Can
ada, who have enough financial problems
without having to make good an i'm
meIse financial obligation incurred TO
the farmers of the country.
II regard the whole policy of artificial
support OF the price Of wheat as I'M
fortunate" he contnued. because 1t is
the basis of all other foodstuff prices.
With wheat high, offals are high, cattle
feed goes up, meats rise, dairy farmers
demand more money and the cost of
living takes another general move up
ward. II the price which Is to be guar
anteed to Canadian farmers proves to
be above the level that would be tusti-
fed in a natural market, think the re-
suits OF the guarantee will be regretta
BILE. We are much m the hands of the
European buyers, who do not as yet
show any Intense anxiety to purchase
from this continent But I have hopes
that our Government will not be called
upon to make good on its guarantee to
any large extent"

LIBERALS SEE VICTORY.
Early Change In Dominion Gov
eminent Predicted.

A change OF government in Canada
may not take place at the next election,
which is due some time in the next three
years. But 1t will come sooner or later.
1t Is reasonable for the Liberal party to
suppose that in choosing a leader they
are selecting the next Premier OF Can
ada. At least they are choosing the
next aspirant for the leadership.
1t was ten years after Sir Robert
Borden was called to the opposition lead
ership that he became Premier. Sir
Wilfred Laurier was opposition leader
nine years, but his time arrived. Blake
was defeated twice as opposition leader
and never arrived. Laurier was sue
cessful in his second attempt, Borden in
his third. The leader chosen next week
may have a longer or shorter task than
any Of these, but II he and his party
persist they are likely to succeed in the
end.
The convention may think that the
main thing now is to get a good opposl-
ton leader for their party, but the man
of foresight will consider what sort Of
Premier he is choosing for the Dominion
of Canada.-Tdncouve Province, Au-
OiiSt !.
