in the cargo. Just the other day, when the speedy Europa left New York, it had aboard shiny yellow bars Of gold for France. When gold is being transported there is no time lost.
 France already has as much gold in her bank vaults as half of the volume in the vaults of the Ameri- can Federal Reserve system-and considering the difference in size of the two countries this is remarka hle indeed. And the shipments, both from the United States and England continue. Some financial experts are said to be alarmed"
 A report from France in the form of an announcement by it's bankers IS to the effect that France needs the increased gold as basis for in- creased paper money, Incidentally there was another announcement in the form of cable dispatch which said that the price Of bread had been marked up three times within l2 days, and that other products were keeping pace,
 II is evident that France Is on a boom spree. But that does not hide the circumstance that Premier Tar dieu is greatly alarmed al the vast . increase in the governmental budget The pre-war budget was five billion francs, he said; now it is 52 billion francs. and if the sinking fund ana and all local budgets were added Il would mean = billion francs com- ing from the pockets Of the taxpay- CTS during the year. The Premier declared tha. France cannot find the money 10 provide an increase of five billion francs N20o.oO0,o00) each year.

PRIVATE TRANSPORTATION

The incident brought 10 light the other day regarding a truckman who was charged with collecting 5o cents 3 head TO transport children 10 the 'obacco fields suggests that this species Of private transportation for profit is not entirely unknown here ahouts. Nobody will ever know how many automobile owners. going be tween towns morning and evening, are wiling to accept fee for serF- ing similarly bound individuals. And oevn when the transportation serv- ice Is not done for pay, he effect upon the fortunes Of the railroad trolley or bus carriers Is the same Indeed II mas come to he regarded in transportation circles as certain that whenever a former customer takes 10 the automobile instead 0. relying upon the regular commut. ing services, there IS an au,ona tic threat against the permanence ot two or -hree other regular com. muters remaining with the com, pany."
 The private automobile frequently takes much more trafc from the transportation companies thar merely subtracting the owner of tht machine from the list Of commuters there are others who travel aiong or who are picked up on the stree corners while awaiting trolleys, vh, also become former customers" c the transportation companies.
 There is no law against picking uI potential customers when it is dom free Of charge; insuch cases thos' picked up merely become guests 0 the autoist. But there is a law against charging q fee, which turn the autoist into a competitor in fac Of the regular transportation com panies.
 The law is rarely invoked agains the private chargers of fees fo transportation because nobody i likely to make complaints. The law therefore, is nearly dead letter only very occasionally a case unde 1t reaching a court. The averag autoist is an individualist He think that who he allows to ride in hi car IS his own business, not the bust ness Of the state.

is a disadvantage to the party in power. Especially is the indignation likely to be keen if the party in power-like the Liberal government in Canada-gave evidence Of trying to dodge the facts. It will have been noted that so long as the Canadian campaign hinged upon what kind of tariff wall 10 construct interest was of a lethargic quality. The moment, however, when Mr, Bennett and his colleagues began referring 10 the necessity of doing something definite about hard times, and promising to invoke 1he entire power of ParIia- ment 10 achieve some result, public interest was stimulated and quite handsome victory resulted for the Conservatives, who now go into power after F years Of being on the outside looking in.

THt, CANADIAN RESULT

Canada. too, has gone high tariff Her action as indicated in the ra- turns of the general election means that retaliation against the tariff Of the United States is the prepondcr- ating sentiment. Whereas Premier Mackenzie King and his Liberal party favored a greater development of trade within the British empire as a road 10 increased markets for Canadian products, R. B. Bennett. leader Of the Conservative party. rode to victory with out-and-out tariff retaliation against the United States as the party motto.
 That, now, will be the Canadian policy. IL must be remembered that Canada has been our best foreign customer. The mischief wrought by the so-called Grundy tariff thus is likely to come home to many indus tries which have been doing hand some business in Canada.
 The Conservatives. however, were unanswered into the high tariff view through the action Of the LID- erals in accepting the erstwhile Con- servative platform Of empire trade. Whether this eleventh-hour espous- al of q former Liberal doctrine by the Conservatives will remain per nanent remains to be seen, It is likely 10 take second place before at tempts to relieve the unemployment situation, which in Canada as in most other countries, is serious social problem.
 It is likely that the Conservatives clinched vitory when they took up the nemployment problem during the last few weeks of the election campaign. Premier King carefully
 
 refrained from mentioning the busi- ness depression until Mir. Bennett flung himself heart and soul into it. One Of the Conservative promises was that when given charge of tho governm ent the party would call a special session of Parliament to deal with the problem. This evidently gave voters the impression that the Conservatives. at least. recognized the fact that there were hard times and were willing to attempt to dc something about them.

ENGLAND EXPECTS
 ELECTION SHORTLY
Unemployment Proves Yeling Problem to Socialist Government

London, July 2s (P-Lobby ex- perts at the house of commons are about equally divided in forecastinS the date of the coming general elec- ton.
 One section is certain 1t will como in November; the other equally certain it wen't happen before spring.
 A cabinet minister, when asked which date he favored replied.
 Safety frst-I intend to be ready in November"
 At recent meeting of the labor party, the prime minister mention ed the possibility of a general cleo tion toward the end of. the year. Since that remark his government came within two votes of being de- feated.
 New Vote Register
 Many observers feel that gen. eral election will be genuine pro- bability as soon as the new register of voters comes into operation the middle Of October.
 Two important events come in October; the imperial conference and the Indian round table confer ence.
 No matter how the conservative party may regret that the imperial conference will be in the hands of the socialist government, the oppor- tunity for avoiding that contingency through a general election seems 10 have slipped by No responsible party leader wants to make a pol- tical party question out of the h. dian situation nor interfere with the round table conference by fore ing a general election.
 But there are many other reasons for an early election. The contin- ued growth Of unemployment under the present administration almost forces Ramsay Macdonald to ask for the country's verdict on his ef- forts, The governments majority in the house of commons on this issue has been reduced to 2a. TO complicate matters three distinct groups within the labor party itself are each putting forward different plans for solving the unemployment evil.
 The voters will have a plethora of plans to choose from when the plans of Lloyd Georges liberals and Stanley Baldwin's conservatives are added to those of the labor party
