Two Thirds of
Canada's Imports
Come From u. S.
American Share of Domin-
ion Trade Well Above Pre-
War Level, While Britain's
Proportion Has Declined

More than 68 per cent of Canada's
import trade during last year consisted
of goods from the United States. and
almost 44 per cent of her total exports
were shipments to this country. In
both cases the percentages are in ex-
cess of those prevailing before the war;
The reverse is true. however, of Can
ada's trade with the United Kingdom.
Imports into Canada from Great Brit
ain last year represented only 17.3 per
cent of the total compared with 212
per cent in 1918, while exports repre-
sented only 26.8 per cent, as against the
pre-war figure of 49.8 per cent.
Canada's total foreign trade foi 1920
was valued at $2,639,O 100000. Of this
amount, 1921 100000 represented mer-
chandise imported into Canada from
the United States and $3.50, 100000 goods
exported from the Dominion to this
country, thus showing balance of
trade against Canada of about $685.
100000. Toward meeting this there
was sold in the United States $223.-
100000 worth of provincial and munich
pal bonds. There was also large in
vestment of American capital in many
Canadian industries.
The leading Canadian import items
in 1920 were cotton, iron and steel,
coal, sugar and molasses. The chief
items OF export were meats, wheat,
cheese, iron and steel, wood and its
manufactures.
Domestic trade, with the decline in
prices, fell off considerably and banks
sharply curtailed credits, says a report
to the Department of Commerce, but it
is expected that firms soundly financed
will not suffer serious embarrassment.
''1n most branches of trade" it is
added, "buying has been carried on
cautiously for some time. Moderate
recessions in prices have been wide
spread. Among the raw materials,
grains, hides, cotton, wool and steel
have been reduced, and this movement
has been followed by recessions in
automobiles. sugar, clothing, shoes,
hardware, livestock. some drugs and
many other lines. Production has been
curtailed, and some industries closed
down, although these were not nu-

Turning Vessels to Coal
Foreign Owners Deciding to
Change Plans; Europeans
Go In for Motorships

The marked increase in the use Of oil
Tor marine fuel is shown by tho fact
that the amount Of bunker oil loaded
oa vessels in the foreign trade leaving
American ports during 1920 was almost
double that for 1919. For 1920 the total
was 2S,3S4,0 900 barrels, in comparison
with l4,031 900 barrels for the preced-
Ing year.
Moro than so per cent Of last years
total was taken on at Atlantic ports, the
figures being 1s,7oe,oeO barrels. as
against s,41s,ooo for the preceding year.
Reversion to Coal Grows
Most Of the tonnage constructed dur
ing the last year was fitted for burning
oil under the boilers, and this has been
largely responsible for the increase in
bunker exports. With the drop in coal
prices, however, there has been grow
ing tendency to change from oil to coal
burning. This has not been pronounced
dicate that European owners are hav-
ing the plans of number of vessels
changed, so that they will burn coal.
While decrease is expected in the
proportion Of vessels burning oil un-
der the boilers in new construction,
there is every indication that the use
of internal combustion engines using
oil will increase rapidly. Foreign ship
owners are turning more and more to
motor ships, and it is claimed for them
that they are tn only type of vessel
able to operate at profit under the
present depressed shipping conditions.
One Swedish shipping concern, the
Johnson Line, has fleet of dozen
motor ships in service. Axel Johnson,
the head of the line, who was in New
York recently, claims that the Diesel
driven vessels of his company engaged
in the Sweden-San Francisco-South
America service save approximately
$3O0, 1000 a year, as compared with oil
burning steamers. Not one of the
lines vessels, he adds, has been tied up
thus far, despite the decline in
freights. The motor ships now in serv-
ice for this line are as follows:

CHICAGO, April 3G.-A locke de-
clared by the employing associations
in the building trades summarily
stopped work on approximately s35, ,000,-
600 worth of construction work to-day.
More than 10000 workers were affected.
The lockout was the result of the
refusal of the unions to accept wage
cuts proposed by the builders reducing
the pay of craftsmen from S1.25 to 81
an hour and laborers from 81 to 70
cents.
The stalemate will further retard
nearly 100000 worth of building which
has waited for lower building costs,
it was said.

SANTA CLAUS BILL WAS HIGH

santa Claus filled his Christmas packages wiht 100 million dollars worth of toys this year. Fur thernore 80 million dollars worth were made in America This places the United States in the of the worlds production of chidrens playthngs.
 In the report of the Yuetide sale of toys just issued by the toy manufacturers of America the percentage of foreign made toys shows Japan as Amerfca's nearest competitor with only 10 million dollars worth to her credit Germany sent over million dollars worth mostly lead soldiers and other warlile toys France and other European countries furnished million dollars worth.
 ',rhe sale of toys this year be looked upon as a good barometer of national business economies, in that it indicates not only healthy optimism but also a return normal conditions in the home, the report states.
 Few warlke toys were purchased or made. A further return prewar times the report declares is evidenced in that expensive toys purchased largely by the rich while those of moderate means especially the workmen purchased toys the price of which was more suited to their incomes Last Christmas the workingman bought the expensive pIaythings for their children.
 The report adds that development of the made in America agitation in connection with toy manufacture is the expressed determination of many dealers in mixed lines to maintain toy department throughout the year."-Chicago Tribune

ABOUT WEATHER SIGNS

People who do not go into ecstasies over the prospect of a long, hard winter win be cheered by the authoritative pronouncement that there are no long-range weather signs" The record breaking crops which lose half their charm by being cited foreshadowing an old fashioned cold spell need no longer be looked at askance They have more to do with meteorological conditions a month from now than a straw vote would have. Even the ae- tions of animals. regularly pointed to indicating knowledge surpassing that of mere human beings not half wonderful would fain believe. Instead being prophetic they apt to be merely reminiscent. As S. K. Pearson, Jr, of the Weather Bureau put it the other day in the Evening Post: Tn a state of nature the conditions O movements of animals are likely be the result of past or present weather than indication of future ditions" is something of shock to be told that the lower animals do not know any more about the weather than we do, but shall have to adjust ourselves to it.
 All that Pearson will concede is that action of certain animals sometimes gives indications of ing atmospheric changes for short periods. If you see a spider making web you may expect fair weather for fair weather brings flies On the other hand if you a mole throwing up its hill, you may look for rain, since moisture sets worms moving and moes have natural fondness for worms. Un- fortunately MT. Pearson does say what do if you don't happen to either a spider or a mole Perhaps takes it for granted that wel-reguated household will not allow itself out of these articles. Weather signs" believed in, we sup pose, because the very freakishness of weather would apparently confirm the most fantastic notions often enough give them standing.-New York Evening Post.

To the Editor, Sir:

Letters written to the editor of a newspaper for

 The Republican has place on its editorial page ~ tb notification of letters to the editor. It vel .ar,.s aq warmly those letters which disagree with , ~ editorial policies as it does the letters approv t m coinciding with those policies. The editor was ,csysed frequently during the recent campaign of ,t rartisan narrow minded, politically bigoted, .t,ttf,,1 and unfair.

 In both houses there have been evinced dispo- siton to time in order that all necessary things may be done within the statutory period of the session.
 A hopeful view is found in the attitude of the members, Democrats we'll Republicans toward Governor Campbers message-one of friendIiness and approval-an attitude, by the way, in harmony with that of the people generally We may therefore hope that the most of the governors recommenda- tions will be carried out-especiaIy his program of school legislation reform. which is already begun
 There may be details of the message in which majority of members will not be fully in accord with the governor, but in the main we expect that he will be sustained without serious division in either house.
 People at large who have considered that docu- ment pronounce it progressive and constructive and there is little doubt that the legislature represents this popular view.
