ing Sir Robert Horne. Lord Birken-

$6O,OOO,OOO Will be Left in

Estimated
EXCHANGE SMELLS
AMERICAN DOLLAR

OTTAWA. Nov 12.-It IL esu-
mated that 100000. 900 will be left
in Canada by American tourists this
year. This Is a large slm OF money;
but when the particulars are gone
into. it seems TO be quite within the
mark.
Minister OF Roads Perron. for the
province Of Quebec. has said that
Americans would probably leave
f35,O00.OOO IN that province this
year. II Quebec gets that much,
then to leave s25.OO0.O for the
rest OF the Dominion does not seem
TO be excessive.
The Park officials Of the Dominion
whose operations are confined almost
entirely to tho national parks In
Alberta and British Columbia. esti-
mate the tourist traffic visiting these
parks leaves $4,000 900 a year.
when it is considered the hum
dreds OF thousands who visit the Ca
madam side at Niagara Falls. the
tens of thousands more who go into
Muskoka and Algonquin Parks. and
other resorts In Ontario. 10 say moth
INK OF NNt tens OF NNNNnANNH WHO
visit the maritime provinces, II Is
easy TO realize the big stream OF
money Americans take northward.
There is no doubt the premium on
American money. which makes the
Yankee dollar go much further In
Canada than it does al home. Is an
other consideration that induces
many Americans TO take holiday
over here.
The Imperial oil Company Is put
ting five big steel tankers on Canad-
/ ian register. to take care Of It's Ca
madam business.
! Another large vessel recently pu
on Canadian register Is the Empress
Of India. owned by the Canadian
Pacific Railway. She was built al
T Geestemunde. Germany, and is H.
600 tons gross. The Empress p

~ good augury for business in gen.

After pointing out the importance
Of the foreign situation. the statement
declares this will he largely affected
by such basic problems as the reason
able adjustment of the German repara-
ton; adjustment OF national debts

OF foreign exchange contingent. to a
