tury-old friendship between the
people of Canada and the people of

nations of Europe that public will
rather than public force is the key
to international peace.
ut is public will, not public force,
that makes for enduring peace" he
told his audience of Canadians

stance that 1T has fallen to the lot
of us North Americans, living ami

With his emphasis upon the long

TO his visit being the first ever made

But exceptions are required to

1923 BIGGEST YEAR
IN TELEPHONE OUTPUT
More Than Four Million Miles
of Wire Will Be Turned
Out in 1923.

Officials of the Western Electric
Company predict that 1923 will be the
company's biggest year. based on the
production figures for the first six
months of the year. During this time
nearly twelve billion feet of copper
wire were used in the manufacture Of
telephone cable. II is estimated that
the output for this year will be at
least % per cent greater than 1922
More than twenty-three billion feet or
about four and half million miles Of
copper wire will be used before the
years shipments are completed.
The total output Of telephone re
ceivers for the year will probably
reach the 1,750,0O0 mark. This is about
100000 more than were turned out
last year.
From present indications the STEADY
increase In demands for telephone
eouiJment will continue undated. In
deed, IT Is estimated by Western Flee
tric engineers that the next twelve
months will be the busiest in the his
tory of the company.
This increase in cable output paral
Icing as 1t does, a substantial increase
in the production of telephone equip
ment. is n reflection of the continuous
expansion OF the nations telephone
facilities.

wedge toward compelling the ma
jority in America, or militant and
effective minority, to accept the
doctrine of communism.
Investigations conducted by the
Bituminous Operators Special Com
mittee, appointed to cooperate with
the United States Coal Commission,
have found that labor is one of the
principal factors of the cost of
coal at the mine. amounting to 68.7
per cent of the total. The constant
interruption of the coal supply by
nationwide strikes, made possible
by growing monopolistic power on
the part of the United Mine Work
ers of America, is given as the chief
deterrent to regular supply of coal
at satisfactory prices.
