Decline of German

Coblenz Germany. Nov. 15.-(By

In the occupied area the irfux of

the price on goods in the German
stores had not been advanced. or ut

with the depreciation of the German

for days and reached such a stage at
times that storekeepers found it nee
essary TO close their doors. because of
the crowds, or because the shelves
were empty. Clerks worked 1s and is

Tariff Is Big
Issue in Canadian
Elections Tomorrow

Ottawa, Ont, Dec. 3-The tariff
again looms up as the big issue in
the Canadian elections to be held
Tuesday, December G, to choose a
new federal Parliament for the Do
minion. In that respect, the situa-
ton is a repetition of that of 1911,
the last normal" general election
held in Canada where the political
struggle was decided on purely polit-
zeal issues. The tariff. then, as now.
was the main question.
The election of 1917, the only one
since held, was purely wartime eX-
pedient with no political questions in
volved.
Another and very interesting and
important feature of the 1921 election
is that, for the first time in the his
tory of the Dominion, women will
vote on full equality with men. The
Election Act of 1919 conferred the
full right to vote upon all British
subjects, men or women, who were 81
years old and had lived in Canada at
least one year.
Many thousands of women had
voted in the election of 1917 but their
number was limited to the wives,
mothers. widows and sisters of SOL
diers and to army nurses or women
who were themselves engaged in war
work. This, however, paved the way
to the full suffrage which the women
of Canada will. for the first time, ex-
ercise next Tuesday.

under the economic domination of her
great and healthy neighbor, the
United States, is again a battle cry
of the coming election as it was in
the campaign of 1911 when the late
Sir Wilfred Laurier, went down to
defeat when he appealed to the pco-
pie to ratify the reciprocity agree
ment which had then just been con-
cluded with the United States gov
eminent.
1t will be recalled that in that
campaign of 10 years ago the Con-
servative Party, under the leadership
of Sir Robert Borden. fought the
reciprocity treaty on the ground that
truck or trade with the Yankees
was taking the first step toward eco
Ifomic servitude to the United States
The Conservatives were returned
with huge majority in Parliamen,
and reciprocity died a sudden death
Today, Arthur Meighen, the youth
full Premier and head of the Govern
ment Party. and his followers have
told the electors that the only way to
save Canadian industries was to
maintain protective tariff and that
otherwise. the factories and plants in
Canada will move to the other side OF
the international boundary and the
Dominion will find herself bound to
the apron strings of the United
States.

parties. the Liberal. Progressive and

AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK

The efforts to wipe out illiteracy in
this country must be continuous if 1t
be effective but now is an suspicious
time in which to make a demonstra-
ton of the strength enlisted in the
cause. Such endeavor is outlined in
the program arranged for American
Education Week, December 4-10, I'M
der the auspices Of the American Le-
gion and the National Education AS
ISOLATION cooperating with other or
CARNATIONS throughout the country.
The resolution adopted by the Ma
tional Education Association at its
last annual meeting expressed ap-
probation of the cooperative offer of
the Legion and for the accomplish
ment Of the ends desired outlined the
following:
That all teachers in America, ex-
change teachers and professors eX-
copied. should be American citizens
and should be required to take an
cath of allegiance to the government
of the United States.
That no one should be permitted to
teach in any school in America who
has less than a standard high school
education of four years with not less
than two additional years of profess
sional training.
That tho English language should
be the only basic language of instruc-
ton in all public, private. and paro-
chial elementary and high schools.
That adequate instruction should
be required in American history and
civics for graduation from both the
elementary and high schools,
That the American flag should be
displayed by every school during
school hours and that patriotic ex-
crcises should be conducted regularly
in all schools, and further. that the
American Legion be invited to fur
nish speakers from time to time at
these and other exercises of the
schools.
That school attendance should he
made compulsory throughout the
United States for a minimum of thir-
ty-six weeks annually to the end Of
the high school period or to the age
of eighteen.
That an educat ional week should
be observed in all communities annu-
ally for the purpose of informing the
public of the accomplishments and
needs OF the public schools and to
secure the cooperation and support
of the public in meeting these needs.
The announcement outlines the
purposes Of the weeks observance.
the main purpose being to inform the
public Of the accomplishments and
needs of the public schools and to Sc
cure the cooperation of the people. It
argues that no service has suffered
more from unintelligent criticism
than has the schools and it would by
this effort endeayor to center atten-
ton on educational problems: the
need of better buildings. libraries and
equipment, Fairgrounds, better at
tendance, better paid teachers, longer
school terms, better vocational edu-
cation, better understanding of the
form and fundamentals of our gov
ernment and better and universal use
of the English language.
