MENACE OF GERMAN
COMPETITION.

With the German mark worth less
than two cents in Canada where its pre-
war value was nearly "A cents, German
competition is already making itself felt
in many Canadian industries and the
menace for the future is pronounced.
German salt industries recently quoted
prices in Montreal over thirty per cent
below those Of Canadian plants. The
Canadian toy industry is seriously threat
ened. The Canadian iron and steel,
hardware, cutlery, musical instruments,
drug and chemical fertilizer, brush and
other industries have already been affect
ed. The markets for instance, which
the Canadian brush industry had sue
ceeded in developing in the United King
dom, the United States, Australia. New
foundland, British West Indies, British
South Africa, Portuguese East Africa,
the Argentine, Columbia, Venezuela,
Java, China, Cuba, and other countries,
have been practically wiped out owing
to the int rnational exchange situation
and, further, the Canadian market itself
is being seriously threatened by impor-
tations of Belgian and German brushes

London, Aug. 19th.-Mr. Asquith fol-
lowed Mr.. Lloyd George in addressing
the House Of Commons today. express
ing approval Of the course adopted by
the Govt. with regard to the adjourn
ment. He thought, however, it would
he a great misfortune if the action were
misinterpreted as indicating the aban,
Comment or even the relaxation of hope
for a peaceful settlement, Amid cheers
the Liberal leader declared the GoVt's.
Irish proposals entirely commended them
selves TO him in substance, A much
more important fact, Mr.. Asquith added,
was the evidence Of the opinion they
had behind them, throughout not only
the BIRTHS, Empire, but the United
States. Some other speeches and ques-
tons followed, during which the Pre-
mier stated that if there was a settle
ment, the House would proceed with the
bill without delay other than that ne
cessary for the threshing out Of terms
and he did no. think that could be done
by October 18th. In any case, the mo-
ton 70 adjourn to October 18th, was
adopted.
Londo1, Aug. 18th .-Continuing his
address in the House of Lords today on
the Irish question, Lord Curzon, Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs, said no one
could fail to be struck by the unpre-
cedented unanimiry of support with
which the Cows. offer had been receiv-
ed. The press of the Dominions, the
people of which above all were best
qualified to judge the Dominion Status
and the character and scope of the Of
fer, praised it. He referred also to
the comment OF the foreign newspapers
especially those of the United States.
The task of the Foreign Secretary, Lord
Curzon said, for years had been rendered
anxious and difficult as far as this was
concerned in the main, because the Irish
question was not solved. This fact had
coloured, darkened sand poisoned the at
mosphere. The press notices from the
United States, had caused him infinite
anxiety and distress for many years, but
nov kilograms Of approval poured in on
him.

Labour, to the effect that unemployment

fact remains that 125, 900 persons have

they are entitled to receive unemploy-
ment relief from the Govt. The only
help in which these people can now parti-
cipate is that offered by the local poor
law authorities. The local relief sources
have, however, been enduring severe
financial straits. For example, the city
of Sheffield is unable to pay further relief
unless the city arrange an immediate

A GREAT FORWARD STEP

Thrusting aside politics and politicians The people of
California at the November election, took the education
of their children into their own hands and passed the
most forward looking constitutional amendment that any
state has yet adopted
By majority Of more than 100000 they ncorpor-
ated in their organic law provisions that the pay
into the education fund not less than $50 per year per
pupil, indicated by average daily attendance in pri
mary and high schools that each county at least
$50 additional for each primary school pupil and $50
for each high school pupil that all the fund raised by
the state and 90 percent Of the fund raised by the

The kndergarens be incorporated tie state school sys

Association, submitted to the voters under die initiative
and referendum plan CT the state, and the fight
waged by a committee of the teachers association with

it suggests, but for the splenddly inspiring example

What California has d2ne Florida can do. Excuses
