 BE DONE EASILY

VICTORIA, Feb. 10 (F9-The acqui- sition of the Alaska Panhandle" by Canada might easily be accomplished thru arbitration in line with the Post War attitude of equity among natives, Ivan Mackenzie, liberal, suggested to the Provincial Legislature.
 The suggestion was made during discussion of the resolution introduc- the Dominion Government to open ed by. H. F. Kergin who requisitioned negotiations with the United States with the view of acquiring the Pan handle.
 Mackenzie pointed to recent inter- national settlements of boundaries in Europe which differed materially from previous boundaries as a prece- dent for arbitration over the desired portion of Alaska Canada, he said, could we'll afford to pay for the 'Pan- handle" as much as the United States paid for the whole of Alaska.
 The debate on the resolution was adjourned temporarily.

The only dissenting opinion came from F. H. Neelands, Labor party, who declar- ed the movement should originate in Ottawa and not in the Province.
 H. D. living, Conservative, express ed the opinion there is something be- hind the move and suggested the in- spiration came from Ottawa. He ask ed whether the Government was aware of any negotiations between Ottawa and Washington in the matter and whether there was move toward making it figure in the St. Lawrence waterways negotiation.

MILITANT POWERS
 PUTTING UP BLUFF SAYS GEORGE SHAW
NO REASON WHY COUNTRIES SHOULD NOT ADVOCATE TO-
 TAI DISARMAMENT

LONDON, Feb. 10. (P)-All the great militant powers are putting up a peace bluff to cover their prepara- tions for the next war, George Shaw said in an article in a February issue entitled No More War"
 He declared the effect of the Rus sian proposal for total disarmament was to call a bluff of the powers of Western Europe which now stand un- masked by Russia and America as de- termined to maintain and extend themselves by the sword; therefore, recognizing war as the final court of appeal in human affairs.
 There is no reason why they should not sincerely advocate disarmament as a measure of economy because arm- ament can always be improvised on the outbreak of war and standing armaments are obsolete nowadays by the time they are needed"

MERCHANDISE SCOUTS
W. r. Grant Go. to Seek Possibilitie, Among Makers of Higher Priced
 Goods

The W. T. Grant Co. has set out through a system of merchandise scouting, to reverse the usual pro. cedure of goods seeking outlets. and as one of the country's biggest dis tTibutors, seek the goods.
 The W. T. Grant Go. is chain of popular priced department stores with branches in 2O4 communities specializing in merchandise at ono dollar or less. Its sales this year will exceed s55, 100000.
 Search will be conducted system. atieally in fields not serving chain stores such as Grants. Effort will be concentrated on finding ways to bring merchandise. not now consider. ed available, within Grant price limits of one dollar.
 Under usual conditions there are two groups of producers who look to Grants, and similar chain stores, for distribution. These are manufactur- CTS specializing in low priced mer- chandise, and makers of medium pric- ed goods who turn to chains for an outlet for their lower grades. close Nttos UT ttt rth1tH RtVQutbttbs T fN- ducers in the upper price ranges have not learned to consider the mass sell ing of chain stores such as Grants as a means of outlet.
 In the near future the W. T. Grant Co. will put into the field several 'merchsndise scouts" These train ed men will ignore the first two class es of producers mentioned above, and will concentrate their efforts in find ing high priced merchandise that can be produced economically for Grant distribution at lowered prices.
 The scouts will not be buyers. They will form reconnaissance detail, re- porting their findings back to the buy ing staff.
 They will also act in an education- al capacity. endeavoring to show pro- ducers of this upper bracket that merchandise can be made under mass conditions at prices acceptable to Grant stores and Grant customers. The economies of direct sale, cash basis business, quantity production and anticipated needs will be their gospel.
