CANADA AND PROHIBITION.

(Hon. w. D. Euler, Minister of National Revenue estimates that only from two to five per cent of the liquor consumed in the United States from Canada). Even in the liquor traffic, the United States adheres to its United States first policy: Why buy from Canada what be made at home? And more especially what be made more cheaply at home? As matter of fact, Canada is only exporting to United States about enough liquor to flavor the homemade product. The latter would be quite deadly if not quite so paatable without the Canadian flavor Under these circumstances there is little room for the oft-eXpressed fear that Canada is wreck ing the morals or undermining the health of dearly beloved cousins to the south of us.-(Toronto Teegram)
 Does this mean that the Canadian Cabinet mem Der and the Toronto Telegram think Americans ar attempting to preevnt the importation of Canadian liquor in order to foster mooshnng here rathe than in the interest of making the United State dry?

Giving Credit to Alaska.
(Seattle Times.)

Seattle TlmeSD
 Exports credited to the State of Washington iumped in aggregate value from $107 646 440 in 1927 to S12 638l32 in 1928 according to the report made public yesterday by the Department of Commerce The gain is gratifying in every respect; ana there is every indication in present progress that still greater gain will be shown for 1929 But there are a few items in the list of exports the credit TOT which we must be prompt to share.
 Forest products, wheat and apples all of State origin are among the leaders in our exports and show substantial gains the previous year; but topping the entire export list is refined copper with a jump in total value from 25420833 in 1927 to S29, ,75S ,O62 last year
 Now there is question at all about the pro- priety of including refined copper among the lead ing exports of Washington; but common fairness compes the immediate statement that the great bulk of the raw red metal here refined comes from the mines of Alaska Copper mining is looking up in this State; the output shows annual increase; but Washington actually produces comparatively
 little of the copper it's smelters refine
 Though in lesser value, credit also must be segregated with respect to canned salmon and furs Washngtons export list gives gains for these inn portant items by of increasing sales and shipments from this State. But much of the salmon handled here and virtually all of the furs come from Alaska.
 Washingtons export gains for the year are sur passed by but four other States of the Union Even without the increases in copper, salmon and furs this State would have shown a marked advance by items and in the aggregate. All the more reason then, why Alaskas increasing contributions to the record of Washington should be recognized

 SEES MILLENNIUM
Says Masses Of World Are
 Moving to Higher Culture

Geneva. July 2 P-The great masses Of world peoples are moving towards a higher culture, intelleC- tual emancipation and moral inn provement. with deep aspirations towards social justice. in the opin- ion Of Albert Thomas, director Of the International Labor office.
 In his annual report, MT. Thomas, who recently made an extensive tOlu of the Far East, declares his juds- ment that an effective contribution will have been made towards abolishing the sharp sense of racial inequality when uniformly equitable and humane working conditions are established for all. To bring about justice and equity in labor conditions will, in Mir Thomas opinion, be great Contribution to the peace which the League of Nations is seek ing to consolidate.
 Referring to the Far East the di- rector asys that the organization has established helpful contacts with countries whose civilization is old, but whose industry is still young; with races whose instincts as well as their traditions and culture make them in general ready to accept and follow the great principles contain ed in the pact of the League of Na- tions and the international labor charter, He adds;
 There are still innumerahle pre- iudices. conflicting interests, pro found and at times apparently in surmountable mlsUnderStandings not to mention the feeling of hos tility which exists in more or less varying degree between the white and yellow races.
 Communism, too. with it's direct clear-cut and brutal propaganda frequently helps stir up feelings of hatred which no marvels of modern technical progress can al1ay.
 But. as the office pointed out in report to the governing body, it's affirmation of the principles of the
 
 them understood and translated into practice should in themselves create fresh possibilities of conciliation and peace"
 MT. Thomas thinks that probably the most encouraging progress in 1928 was in the field of iuternation- al labor legislation, There has been an unprecedented increase in the number of ratification of labor con- Ventions. While former reports have noted some 34 or 25 fresh notifications per annum (on one oc- Casion 5O no fewer than 79 were recorded between March 1928 and March 1929. A spirit of competi- ton seems to have shown itself among the large industrial coun- tries; while other states which have till now remained indifferent or hesitating are taking action which

 HOLY CROSS JRS.
Rally in Eighth Inning Breaks
 Up Pitchers Battle

Masterful pitching by Ferony coupled with timely hitting and eX- cellent support in the pinches, gave the Y. NJ. c. A a well-deserved vic tory over the Holy Cross Juniors in the Junior City league game played last night at Walnut Hill park. The final score was to in favor of the "" contingent
 Up to the eighth inning, it was Ianybody's game with the Holy Cross ombination travelling along at a fast clip towing the Y. M C. A. to ?. The game up to this point was a pitchers battle between Ferony and Hoynicki. with neither twirler hav- ing much of an edge over his op- ponent.
 In the last half of the eighth, however, Hoynicki blew up. Two walks, a hit batsman, an error at short and three singles gave the Y. M. c. A. a total of five runs and as the Holy Cross team went out in or der with the final two batters fan ming before the shoots of Ferony, these were enough to put the game on the top shelf away from danger.
 The Holy Cross team started off as if it were going to win. One run was scored in the opening frame on Hultberg's error at short and Hoy lncki's single. Higgins singled and Hoynicki was out at the plate on pretty relay from Y. Matis to Ferony to E. Matis.
 The "Y' team got one in the third on an error at third and singles hy e. Meligonis and his brother Chris. The Holy Cross contingent came ] back in the fourth to score another on three clean singles, Truskowski bringing in the counter.
 The "" tied the count in the sev- enth on George Meliginis' single, stolen base and his brothers single 1 to left. However, the Holy Cross went into the lead again in the first half of the eighth when F. Mats dropped the third strike on Higgins and threw wildly to first to get him. Higgins scored on Newwicki's single to left center
 Then the storm broke over the heads of the Holy Cross team in the last half of the eighth and the game
 was over.
