The Canadian Provinces are max
ing a far higher present record at
the polls than their sister States be-
low the boundary. Eastern Canada,
including Ontario, Quebec, Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince
Edward, has a million less popula-
tion than New England but casts from
a half million to a quarter million
more votes. The Canadian voting
average seems to approximate about
20 per cent of the voting population,
against the American so per cent.
Latin America is the only section
of the globe where Uncle Sam seems
at present to be able to point to find
a lighter average vote at the polls
than the American 30 per cent. Latin
American states have to cope with
an Indian and negro illiteracy of 40
per cent to 80 per cent. Even at
that, the last Cuban election, and like
wise the recent Mexican election,
polled close to 80 per cent of the quail

Cuba makes twice as good a show

the American side of the Gulf Stream
and Mexico in its last presidential
election delivered at the polls more
than twice as high percentage of
it's total adult population as the aver

Socialists Hint Germany May
Be Sjgner Without
Body's Approval
By InternatlOpal Sew serYles

BERLIN, Oct. 27.-Germany may
be signor of the Locarpo security
pact without the formality Of ap-
prevail by the Reichstag, according
to a hint from Socialist circles to-
day. The hint was contained in
comment of the newspaper Nor-
waerts on a situation considerably
complicated by determined opposi-
ton to the pacts.
The Socialist point out that the
trump cabinet" which remains
after the resignation of the three
nationalist members, will not be
able to find a majority in the
Reichstag for ratification Of the
treaties.
Vorwaerts warns the government
that the Socialists will not vote for
LocarTie unless they get adequate
representation in the government.
The same newspaper also hints that
Luther and Stresemann might sign
the treaties with only President Hin
denburg's approval and regardless
of the sanction of the Reichstag.
While the Nationalist press main
tains a reserved attitude, I4olal
Anzeiger says a breach in the cabl-
net over the LocarHo pact need not
exclude Nationalists from any future
