The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1922-11-18

Lord Shsughnessy's declaration that
Canada has apparently not only lost
the equivalent of all the immigrants
who came in but did not even main
tain the increase due to natural accre-
tion after making full allowance for
our war losses" from the census of
1911 to that Of 1921 does not bear out
the impression given by Province of
Quebec official recently that Canada
was drawing very largely from the
population Of New England in compar-
ison with small losses from emigra-
ton. Canada's population in 1911 was
100000, while ten years later the
population had increased only to s.
100000. This in spite of the vital
statistics showing natural increase
Of $4,000 in population during the
ten-year period, not to speak of the
increase from immigration. Canada is
Dver-ambitious in the matter of pop
ulation and decidedly touchy about it
too. OF course, the reason why Cana
d. does not grow faster is because of
the greater general attraction TO the
people south of the boundary line.

consideration, in view OF the battling
nature Of the crime.

Lower Waterford, recently described
by writer in Boston newspaper as
deserted village, with empty houses
and stores staring at the passerby,
is described differently by writer in
the st. Johnsbury Caledonian, who
writes at some length about Farm
Bureau meeting and who says: In
point of interest shown in the pro-
jects presented and the number OF peo-
pie in attendance, it 1.-THE meeting) was
the most important meeting Of the
series up to the present time" That's
reassuring indeed. The Boston news
paper writer's description of Lower
Waterford left one with depressed
state of mind that such an attractive
little village as Lower Waterford
should be going into decay, with its
population practically wiped out
through migration to other scenes Of
activity. Perhaps the picture was too
much overdrawn. Perhaps Lower Wa
terford was merely at the turning
point of the ebb. At any rate, the
writer in the CALIFORNIAN gives encour-
agement to believe that Lower Water
ford is far from being in a decadent
state.

BLAME FOR CROSSING ACCI-
DENTS.

One can see in the present policy
OF one railroad company in Vermont
reporting collisions of motor vehicles
and trains to the state motor vehicle
department purpose TO show up the
Grass carelessness of large number
of motor vehicle drivers. As is well
known, public opinion generally Is
against the railroads in the considera-
tion of accidents at grade crossings;
it is almost always considered that
the railroad, or its agents are to blame
when trains and motor vehicles col
Tide; or, If not TO blame, the railroads
ought to be made to stand the con-
sequences. Perhaps ii is TO combat
this state of mind on the part Of the
public that the railroads have begun
the policy of setting forth their own

Several letters to the editor regard
ing the outcome of the recent election
in Vermont have come to the office
without the signature of the writers,
and they have been consigned to the
waste basket. Readers should not get
the impression because letters ,previ-
ously printed did not bear the name of
the writer but were signed by nom
de plume that the real names of the
writers were not submitted along with
the communications with a request
that the nom de plume be used. Nom
dc plume letters in the paper do not
mean that the editor of the paper does
not know the names of the writer's.
In this connection we should like to
say again that letters signed by the
names of the writers in the newspaper
itself bear far greater weight.

one billion gold marks in kind annually
but could not go beyond those figures.
He explained that Germany's inability
to pay was due to the disastrous ex-
change, which had made it necessary for
Germany to buy foreign currency until
the mark was a drag on the market.
Germany's expectations amounted in the
past year to only one fourth of the ex~
ports in 1914, and the balance of trade
agains her amounted TO 2, 800, 600, 600
gold marks" This could not be offset
by decreasing imports, because Germany
was now buying abroad only food and
